Utility of PCD Diagnostics to Improve Clinical Care

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

This cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study is to gather data on the utility of tests that are used to make a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). There is new testing available, called nasal nitric oxide testing, that non-invasively measures nitric oxide levels in the sinus cavity. Individuals with PCD characteristically have low levels, but this testing does not have extensive data from everyday clinical practice. The objective of this proposal is to improve the diagnostic approach to children and adults with clinical concerns for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Characterizing the Upper Airway Manifestations in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Primary Immunodeficiencies...

Primary Ciliary DyskinesiaKartagener Syndrome1 more

Though common, morbidities related to upper airway disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and primary immunodeficiencies (PID) have not been fully characterized. These conditions can be difficult to distinguish due to their overlapping phenotypes. The sinonasal and middle ear features are often identified as most problematic by patients and their families, and optimal, highly effective treatment regimens have not been established. The main objective of this project is to characterize and compare the upper airway phenotypes in individuals with confirmed diagnosis of PCD and PID, and to collect critical data to inform the design of future clinical trials of treatment of the upper airway diseases. The investigators anticipate that these investigations will discern the clinical, anatomical, and pathophysiological phenotypes of paranasal sinus disease in PCD and PID, identifying disease endpoints and biomarkers that differentiate these two overlapping disorders. Findings from these studies will also enhance our understanding of middle ear disease and associated hearing loss in a cross-sectional cohort of patients with PCD and PID. Ultimately, the long-term goal of our Consortium is to elucidate underlying phenotypes and genotypes of these diseases, potentially leading to novel therapeutics that will improve the lives of affected individuals. Given the COVID pandemic, certain procedures will have the option to be converted to telehealth visits to ensure compliance with local guidelines and participant safety.

Primary Ciliary DyskinesiaKartagener Syndrome

The overall objective of this longitudinal, observational study is to provide information needed to inform the design of future interventional trials of respiratory exacerbation prevention and treatment in children and adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Use of Nasal Nitric Oxide Testing in Improving Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Clinical Care

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

this study is aiming at learning more about primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and tests that are used to diagnose this condition. One purpose of this study is to measure the level of nitric oxide in the nasal passages and examine how often the results correlate with other tests currently done to make the diagnosis.

COVID-19 in People With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

The COVID-PCD is a participatory research project that aims to study how COVID-19 affects people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The study is advertised through patient support groups and participants register online and answer a baseline questionnaire with details on PCD diagnosis, habitual symptoms, and COVID-19 episodes occurring before study entry. A short weekly follow-up questionnaire includes questions on incident SARS-CoV-2 infections, current symptoms, social contact behaviour, and physical activity. Occasionally, participants receive extra questionnaires focused on special topics. The study is hosted at the University of Bern and recruitment started on May 30th, 2020.

Functional Studies of Novel Genes Mutated in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia II: Genotype to Phenotype...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

The purpose of this study is to measure mucociliary clearance (MCC) in groups of subjects with the disease Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) caused by mutations in different genes, and compare to healthy subjects. Some of these genes are associated with a milder clinical phenotype. This study seeks to determine if the milder phenotype is a result of mutations in a set of specific genes. The hypothesis is that subjects with PCD caused by mutations in the milder group will maintain a low, but significant rate of mucociliary clearance, while patients with mutations in genes in the more severe group will have a complete absence of mucociliary clearance. These studies will help inform future treatment strategies.

A Longitudinal, Observational Study of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Adults

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

The goal of this observational study is to characterize clinical measures and biomarkers of airway disease in adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and in a group of healthy volunteers (HV) to establish normative values. Lung function, mucociliary clearance, radiological findings, and clinical findings will be assessed. Furthermore, quality of life will be assessed using QOL-PCD, a disease specific questionnaire.

Multiple Breath Washout, a Clinimetric Dataset

Cystic FibrosisPrimary Ciliary Dyskinesia4 more

Monitoring patients with chronic, inflammatory airways disease particularly in the early stages is hampered by the relative insensitivity of current outcome measures to detect subtle changes. Multiple breath washout is a potential sensitive test that is a useful readout of disease at these early stages but it lacks standardisation and knowledge of variability with reference to standard lung function measures. This is a Cross sectional and longitudinal observation study. The hypothesis is that multiple breath washout-derived indices will provide a robust signal of gas mixing inhomogeneity, correlating with conventional measures of airway disease severity. Multiple breath washout performed on different devices will generate indices which correlate but differ in value.

The investigators will utilize a systematic approach for the diagnostic evaluation of patients to identify characteristics which may distinguish between Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) disorders versus Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
