Clean Air for Rare MUcociliary Clearance dIsorders

Clean Air for Rare MUcociliary Clearance dIsorders (CARMUCI)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air purifier can improve respiratory health in children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) or Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can using a HEPA air purifier at home reduce respiratory symptoms in people with CF or PCD? Can it improve lung function and overall health? Researchers will compare participants' health outcomes before and after the use of the HEPA air purifier to see if cleaner indoor air makes a measurable difference. Participants will: Visit the clinic for baseline health assessments (such as lung function and symptom questionnaires). Have two HEPA air purifiers installed in their home. One device will be placed in the main living area and one in the bedroom. Undergo exposure assessments during home visits to measure indoor air quality.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥6 years
  • Physician-confirmed diagnosis of CF or PCD, based on internationally accepted criteria. PCD diagnosis will be based on either a) a positive genetic test (bi-allelic disease-causing mutations) or b) TEM class 1 defect, as defined by the European Respiratory Society and American Thoracic Society guidelines for the diagnosis of PCD. CF diagnosis will be based on the diagnostic criteria of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry including: (a) two sweat chloride test values of at least 60 mmol/L, or (b) one sweat chloride test value of at least 60 mmol/L and two disease-causing CFTR mutations, or (c) typical CF features at clinical presentation and two disease-causing CFTR mutations if sweat chloride test value was less than 60 mmol/L or not reported.
  • Residing in a main household in Cyprus for at least 5 days per week during the study period.
  • Willingness and ability to provide informed consent (or approval with guardian consent for minors).
