Prospective Surveillance of Lung Development During Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood in Healthy and Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Nov 2020

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disease in Caucasian populations. To improve survival, it is essential to understand the development, progression and treatment of CF lung disease throughout early childhood. Therefore the overall objective is to prospectively assess the clinical utility of novel and non-invasive measuring methods, namely Multiple Breath Washout and functional lung MRI in the longitudinal clinical surveillance of patients with CF and compare the results to those of healthy controls.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Other clinically significant concomitant disease states (e.g. renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, etc.)
  • Known or suspected non-compliance, drug or alcohol abuse
  • Participation in another study with investigational drug within the 30 days preceding and during the present study

Other illness

  • Inability to follow the procedures of the study, e.g. due to language problems, psychological disorders, etc. of the participant
  • Known diseases other than related to CF
    • In addition for healthy individuals:
  • Current upper respiratory infection (cough, cold, fever) will lead to postponement of the visit to 4 weeks after the end of symptoms

Lab values

  • Continuous glucose monitor

Other

  • The presence of any one of the following exclusion criteria will lead to exclusion of the participant, for example:
  • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Intention to become pregnant during the course of the study
  • Lack of safe contraception, defined as: Female participants of childbearing potential, not using and not willing to continue using a medically reliable method of contraception for the entire study duration, such as oral, injectable, or implantable contraceptives, or intrauterine contraceptive devices, or who are not using any other method considered sufficiently reliable by the investigator in individual cases.
  • Please note that female participants who are surgically sterilised/hysterectomised or post-menopausal for longer than 2 years are not considered as being of child bearing potential.
  • Metal in body, e.g. pacemaker
  • Subjects which are respiratory insufficient to attend on the lung function measurements (oxygen demand)
  • Subjects who are unable to perform the MRI without sedation
  • Participants which were born preterm (\<36. week of pregnancy)
  • Current smokers
    • In addition for individuals with CF:

Who the study is looking for

  • Individuals with CF:
  • Diagnosis of CF
  • Signed written informed consent
  • ≥3 - 18 years of age, depending on the cooperation and if lung function measurements are possible
    • Healthy volunteers:
  • Signed written informed consent
  • Informed consent of participant and if under 18 years, legal representative respectively
  • Children and adults with no history of chronic lung disease or acute respiratory infection in the four weeks prior to the study visit
  • ≥3 - 18 years of age, depending on the cooperation and if lung function measurements are possible

Age in the registry: 3 years to 18 years · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
