Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

The primary objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of ataluren in participants with nonsense mutation cystic fibrosis (nmCF) who completed participation in the double-blind study PTC124-GD-009-CF (NCT00803205), as assessed by adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The secondary objective of this study includes the assessment of the efficacy of ataluren, as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and pulmonary exacerbation rate, and other safety parameters (for example, 12-lead electrocardiogram [ECG] measurements, vital signs).

To provide efficacy and safety data comparing two dosing schedules of Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TIP) for the treatment of pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a fatal, recessive genetic disorder characterized by progressive inflammation and lung damage. It is unclear whether current treatment strategies, which focus on detection and eradication of pathogenic microorganisms in the lung, are the best way to prevent the initiation of early inflammation and lung damage. This study asks how early acquisition of microbial flora occurs in infants with CF and healthy baby controls, and whether this process initiates or influences early inflammation and clinical disease progression in CF.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of antibiotic therapy with any antibiotic (IV) and IV (Nebcin®) tobramycin for 5 days followed by Solution for nebuliser inhalation (Tobi®) for 9 days and antibiotic cures using 14 days of tobramycin IV. In the case of positive results, the reduction of the duration of IV treatment of tobramycin from 14 days to 5 days would limit the risk of toxicity.

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050, and its effects on the pancreatic, pulmonary functions and on various biomarkers in Cystic Fibrosis patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance have elevated glucose level either at 1 hour or 2 hour during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). The Main study will include 24 weeks of treatment with PBI-4050 or matching placebo. At the end of the treatment period, patients will have the option of participating in a 24-week Extension study.

A study to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled molgramostim administered open-label to adult cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects with chronic pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, with or without ongoing antimycobacterial guideline based combination therapy.

To evaluate the efficacy of ivacaftor treatment, as measured by lung clearance index (LCI), in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have a specified CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gating mutation

This study is designed as a masked, two center, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nasal and oral inhalation of 75 mg aztreonam in subjects with CF and lung infection due to PA. The study will involve two sites: Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (VCU) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS). Potential subjects will be identified in each site's CF clinic.

This is a prospective, multi-center observational study. The study is designed to measure the clinical effectiveness of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor (ETI) triple combination therapy in children (6-11 years of old) with one or more copies of the F508del mutation, study the effects of ETI across a number of CF disease manifestations, and collect specimens for future research. Subjects in the study will have one "before ETI" visit within 30 days before initiation of the therapy and five "after ETI" visits over a 24-month follow-up period. Participants who have participated in the original PROMISE Pediatric Sub-Study have the option of participating in a long-term extension with annual visits performed at the 36- and 48-month timepoints. The durability of the clinical and biological changes in the PROMISE Pediatric Sub-Study can be assessed with extended follow-up, which would enable the sub-studies to consider potential clinical consequences of the biological or physiological effects being studied. This work will help to inform long term prognosis and feasibility of certain clinical trials outcomes for interventional studies and may be useful when considering research priorities in drug development. The duration of participation for each subject is 24 months (with an additional 24 months if participants agree to the optional long-term extension). NOTE: FDA has granted approval for elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor in the 6-11 age group.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitor sitagliptin is effective in the treatment of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). We hypothesize that sitagliptin will improve meal-stimulated insulin secretion.
