Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

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.

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 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)".

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 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).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in people 12 years and older with Cystic Fibrosis.

The goal of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of P-1037 and to determine whether the combination of P-1037 with hypertonic saline or P-1037 alone has a greater effect on lung function in patients with CF than placebo (0.17% saline).

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the effects of a modified formulation of AquADEKs (AquADEKs-2) on markers of inflammation, antioxidant levels and oxidative stress. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a disease that affects the organs in the body such as the lungs. Some of the damage to the lungs of CF patients may be caused by something called oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and oxidative stress. Oxidation in the body is kind of what happens to an apple when it turns brown after being cut. And, just as a squeeze of lemon juice stops the oxidation of an apple, antioxidants can stop the rusting (or damage) inside our bodies by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals. Free radicals can help fight off bacteria and viruses but too many of them do damage instead. Our bodies need antioxidants to keep things in balance so we have the right amount of free radicals. Many CF patients also have trouble digesting food and absorbing nutrients like vitamins. Many of the vitamins we rely on are antioxidants, like vitamins A, D, E, K and beta-carotene. In some people with CF, even though they take multivitamins and pancreatic enzymes, they still have low amounts of antioxidants. The investigators are looking to see if taking more vitamins and antioxidants will help CF patients. AquADEKs-2 is an investigational new drug (a drug that has not received approval by the Food and Drug Administration [FDA]). This research study is being done with the AquADEKs-2 compared to a control multivitamin. The study drug, AquADEKs-2 contains standard amounts of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) that are contained in typical CF multivitamin supplements plus several antioxidants including beta-carotene, mixed tocopherols (different forms of vitamin E), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), mixed carotenoids (lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin), and the minerals zinc and selenium. The control multivitamin contains standard amounts of vitamins A, B, D, E, and K without additional antioxidant supplementation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of Liposomal Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI) 590 mg once daily (QD) in Cystic Fibrosis patients with chronic infection due to pseudomonas aeruginosa. This long-term, open-label, multi-cycle extension study enrolled subjects who had successfully completed study TR02-108, were compliant with the study protocol, and did not meet any of the listed study discontinuation criteria. The safety and tolerability of LAI were evaluated for up to approximately 2 years.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition where epithelial cells, including from the respiratory tract, have an abnormal function of a surface protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein resulting from abnormal gene expression. The trial will assess the clinical efficacy, safety & tolerability and gene expression following repeated nebulised doses of a gene product coding for a normal CFTR protein, with the primary outcome of the trial assessing lung function.
