Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

The purpose of this study investigation of relationship between health literacy and physical activity, anxiety and depression, adherence to airway clearance techniques in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) affect the airways and other structures of the lungs and thereby lead to ventilation inhomogeneity. The most common CRDs in children are asthma, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis (CF). All three are obstructive diseases. However, while asthma is mostly characterized by obstruction due to bronchoconstriction of the airways, obstruction in bronchiectasis and CF originates primarily from mucus retention due to abnormal airway clearance mechanisms. The Nitrogen Multiple Breath Washout test (N2-MBW-test) is a robust and sensitive detector of early pulmonary changes and ventilation inhomogeneity. The minimal cooperation which is required for this test makes it very convenient for use in any age category. Research on LCI described it as a reliable indicator of obstructive lung disease in pediatric CF patients as from 6 years of age. Whether LCI is a reliable parameter for early lung disease in asthma children is less clearly demonstrated. No data were found on LCI calculated from the N2-MBW-test in children with bronchiectasis.

This study is intended to assess the PK and safety of a single dose of IV and oral formulations of lefamulin in adults with CF.

The objective of this study is to assess the effects of a high-dose vitamin D3 on the composition of gut and lung microbiota in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis who are vitamin D deficient.

Fitness in patients with Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an important biomarker associated with higher survivability and improved quality of life. CF patients are encouraged to maintain an active lifestyle, however, while physicians are able to prescribe airway clearance measures or specific medications, there is no prescription for exercise or avenue to promote exercise outside the clinic or hospital.

Non-invasive assessment of lung involvement is a crucial issue for the follow-up of cystic fibrosis patients. Currently, CT is the method of reference to evaluate and quantify the lung morphological changes in cystic fibrosis adults but it remains a radiation-based technique. MRI with ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences is a promising non-ionizing alternative for lung imaging. The investigators' objective is to evaluate cystic fibrosis lung involvement using CT and MRI-UTE, and to test the agreement between both techniques.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of Creon Immediate Release (IR) in comparison to Creon® 25,000 Delayed Release/Gastro-Resistant (DR/GR) in subjects with Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) due to Cystis Fibrosis (CF).

The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled (Phase II) study will be to further evaluate the effects of oral glutathione on growth in children with CF.

To determine the safety and tolerability of single and multiple escalating doses of FDL169 in healthy male subjects.

Cystic fibrosis is a rare chronic genetic disease that mainly affects the respiratory tract and the digestive system. Their management includes multi-year intravenous antibiotic treatments and repeated venous sampling. The venous access is a source of difficulties that nurses who take care of these patients face on a daily basis. In addition, multiple attempts at punctures can induce anxiety and pain in patients. It is therefore important to limit failures. Vein visualization technologies exist: guidance echo, portable trans lumination or infrared visualization can guide venipuncture and limit failures. Compared with the guided echo or the portable trans lumination, the infrared visualization is easy to use and does not pose a risk for the patient. Nevertheless, studies evaluating this technique are few in chronic diseases and mainly conducted in young children. This study aims to show that the use of a vein illumination system (VIS) should improve the peripheral venous access at the first attempt (thus limiting venous lesions) in adolescent and adult patients with cystic fibrosis, and improve comfort of the patient (pain, apprehension of the gesture).
