Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

This is a Phase 2 open label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of multiple dose levels of SC administered ELX-02 with and without ivacaftor in patients with CF with at least one G542X allele or phenotypically similar nonsense allele. Up to 16 patients will be enrolled in the trial; up 4 patients will be homozygotes to G542X, and the remaining patients will be compound heterozygotes with G542X or phenotypically similar nonsense mutation and any Class 1 or Class 2 mutation. Each patient will receive 5 escalating doses as follows: 0.3 mg/kg per day SC 0.75 mg/kg per day SC 1.5 mg/kg per day SC An individualized dose, as high as 3.0 mg/kg per day SC, based upon the patients observed safety and tolerability, PK at previous doses and the results of laboratory tests ELX-02 1.5 mg/kg per day SC plus 150 mg ivacaftor every 12 bid

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label and roll-over study in subjects who are 12 to <24 months of age at initiation of Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) treatment.

Part 1 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) delayed release (DR) capsules manufactured with a modernized process (MP) is non-inferior to currently marketed pancrelipase DR capsules in participants with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis (CF), as measured by coefficient of fat absorption (CFA). Part 2 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) manufactured with an alternate active pharmaceutical ingredient site (AAPIS) is non-inferior to currently marketed active control (Creon®) in participants with EPI due to CF, as measured by CFA. Safety is evaluated in each part.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacodynamic effect of VX-445, tezacaftor (TEZ), and ivacaftor (IVA) when dosed in triple combination (TC) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) subjects 6 through 11 years of age with F/F and F/MF genotypes.

"This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-centre study to investigate safety and tolerability and to provide pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics information of orally inhaled multiple doses (80 mg, 160 mg or 320 mg) of the nebulised neutrophil elastase inhibitor POL6014 in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. The controlled inhalation will occur via the eFlow® nebuliser system (manufacturer: PARI Pharma GmbH, Germany)".

Although some studies have brought some evidences about the efficacy of positive expiratory pressure (PEP)-mask therapy as an airway clearance technique, yet it is not clearly understood what is the contribution of this technique in modifying peripheral ventilation inhomogeneity, a typical feature of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study is to investigate how PEP-MASK affects ventilation inhomogeneity in children and adolescents, with moderate to normal CF lung disease by the change in acinar airways (Sacin), lung clearance index (LCI) and conductive airways (Scond) indexes derived from nitrogen multiple-breath washout test (N2MBW).

This study will explore the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) on disease progression in subjects aged 2 through 5 years with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for F508del (F/F).

This research is being done to learn more ways to treat non-respiratory symptoms in people with CF including fatigue, pain, mood, sleep problems and the use of a wellness program to treat them.

Cystic Fibrosis is the most prevalent fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and it primarily characterized by a thickening of pulmonary secretions and impaired mucociliary clearance. Chest physiotherapy has been widely used as a standard treatment for sputum mobilization and clearance for individuals with CF. Percussion is one such technique of chest physiotherapy for loosening trapped music within the lungs and can be completed manually or facilitated with a percussion cup. Unfortunately, the exclusive Canadian supplier for the widely use percussor cup has stopped distributing the cups, leaving many hospitals and therapy clinics searching for alternatives to continue airway clearance treatment. The goal of this project is to compare alternative palm cup solutions to the standard, and recommend safe alternative(s) that caregivers can have easy access to.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) in participants with CF who are 12 years of age or older.
