Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

This is a 48-week extension study to CMA-0631-PR-0010 Core Study. Patients who have a positive culture for P. aeruginosa at visit 4 of the first 8-week core study period and/or if deemed appropriate by the Investigators will be able to be included in the 48-week follow-on period (Extension Study) to continue the treatment only with Bramitob® (tobramycin nebuliser solution, 300 mg twice daily in 4 mL unit dose vials).

Rhinosinusitis disorders are almost regularly associated to Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The basic defect in CF is a dysfunction of chloride channels in exocrine glands which equally concerns upper airway mucosa. It leads to retention of secretions and consecutive chronic inflammation with bacterial superinfection. In CF rhinosinusitis can restrict quality of life, give cause to repeated ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery and accelerate disease progression by bacterial acquisition into the airways. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical trial aims at the evaluation of a sino-nasal inhalation of sodium chloride 6% compared to isotonic saline with respect to ENT-related quality of life which is influenced by mucus retention and the resulting inflammation.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of VX-770 on Desipramine

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that makes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. A specific type of mutation called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of CF in approximately 10% of patients with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 3 extension trial that will evaluate the long-term safety of ataluren in adult and pediatric participants with nonsense mutation CF (nmCF), as determined by adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The study will also assess changes in pulmonary function, CF pulmonary exacerbations, health-related quality of life, antibiotic use for CF-related infections, CF-related disruptions to daily living, body weight, and CF pathophysiology. Funding source for this study is the FDA OOPD.

Dehydrated airway surfaces resulting from sodium hyperabsorption and lack of chloride secretion are critical to the pathology that leads to the morbidity and mortality from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Previously published work in CF cell lines has demonstrated that by increasing cGMP and restoring inhibition of ENaC, sodium hyperabsorption may be reversed following administration of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (PDEi,) such as sildenafil. Additionally it has been shown in CF cell lines and animal models, that phosphodiesterase inhibitors/analogues can enhance chloride secretion and/or correct surface localization of ΔF508 CFTR. The goal of this project is to translate the results of this work from the laboratory into a clinical trial in patients with CF using an FDA-approved therapy. The Specific Aims of this project are to: 1) Evaluate the effect of systemically administered phosphodiesterase inhibitors on ion transport in CF by measurement of Na+ and Cl- conductance by NPD and Na+ and Cl- concentration in sweat utilizing pilocarpine iontophoresis 2) To establish appropriate dosing of sildenafil in CF by performing a dose-escalation study during which patients are carefully monitored for side effects, plasma sildenafil levels are obtained and outcome measures are compared based on the dose of sildenafil administered. The results of this study in conjunction with those from an ongoing study examining the role of sildenafil as an anti-inflammatory in CF will aid in establishing safety, pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action of sildenafil in the treatment of CF lung disease.

This is an open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aptalis' (formerly Eurand) pancreatic enzyme product (PEP) microtabs in pediatric participants under age 7 with cystic fibrosis (CF) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

Single Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Two-Period/Two-Treatment Crossover Study Investigating the Effect of Miglustat on the Nasal Potential Difference in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Homozygous for the F508del Mutation

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of pancrelipase delayed release capsules in subjects up to 6 years of age with Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) due to Cystic Fibrosis.

The study objectives are to assess safety, tolerability and gene expression after a single dose of non-viral CFTR gene therapy (pGM169/GL67A) administered to the nose and lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis.

The objective of the study is to determine whether or not inhalation of hypertonic saline will be tolerated by infants with cystic fibrosis and the effect of inhalation on their lung function.
