Cystic fibrosis

This study will test whether a nutrition supplement with different forms of certain nutrients works better than standard supplements for adults with cystic fibrosis. Sixty participants will take the supplement for six weeks, and researchers will measure nutrient levels in their b…

This study tests a new lab-made enzyme called NHS7108 in people with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a condition where the pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes to digest food. About 66 adults will take either NHS7108 or the standard enzyme Zenpep for 14 days each, while …

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called AchromoPhage, a mix of four viruses that specifically kill Achromobacter bacteria, in 12 adults with cystic fibrosis and chronic lung infections. Participants will receive the treatment by inhalation, IV, or both over three week…

This early-phase study tests an inhaled mRNA drug (BMD003) in 24 people aged 12 and older with cystic fibrosis. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve lung function by delivering instructions to make a working CFTR protein. Participants will receive multiple doses and b…

This study tests whether tamoxifen citrate, a drug commonly used for breast cancer, is safe and tolerable for adults with cystic fibrosis who cannot take current CFTR modulator drugs. Thirty-five participants will take one tablet daily for six months and visit the clinic every 28…

This early-stage study tests whether adding specially-made viruses (phages) to standard antibiotics can safely treat stubborn lung infections in adults with cystic fibrosis. About 30 participants will receive a 7-day course of both treatments. The main goal is to check safety, bu…

This study will test a new device called the micro Sweat Test Patch (µSTP) that measures chloride levels in sweat to help diagnose and monitor cystic fibrosis (CF). Researchers will compare the new patch to the standard sweat test in 300 newborns, children, and adults with CF. Th…

This study aims to develop a more accurate test for cystic fibrosis (CF) using lab-grown mini organs called organoids, made from a small piece of gut tissue. The researchers will compare this new test with current methods like sweat tests and genetic testing in 80 people who are …

This study looks at whether adding a continuous saltwater mist to warm, humidified air can make thick lung mucus easier to clear. 35 adults hospitalized with lung conditions like COPD or cystic fibrosis will receive both treatments on separate days. Researchers will measure mucus…

This study tests whether adding exercise training to a standard chest-vibration vest (HFCWO) helps people with cystic fibrosis clear mucus, cough less, and walk farther. Twenty-four adults aged 16–35 will either get the vest plus exercise or the vest alone for 8 weeks. The goal i…

This study looks at whether watching cartoons or listening to breath-synchronized interactive stories can help children aged 6-9 feel less afraid and more comfortable while using a nebulizer for breathing medication. About 96 children with respiratory conditions will be randomly …

This study tests whether an 8-week tele-rehabilitation program can improve muscle mass, reduce frailty, and enhance quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis. Participants will do supervised exercise sessions at home via video calls three times a week. The goal is to see if …

This study tests if applying cold (cryotherapy) to the wrist before a blood draw from the artery can reduce pain. It involves 258 adults with chronic respiratory diseases who need this test. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to make the procedure less painful.

This study will enroll 200 children with cystic fibrosis (100 Hispanic, 100 non-Hispanic white) to measure indoor and outdoor air pollution and see how it relates to lung function, inflammation, and airway bacteria. Researchers hope to understand why Hispanic children often have …

This study follows people with chronic lung diseases like bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD to understand how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Researchers will collect samples and health data over time to map resistance patterns and genetic causes. The goal is to…

This study will measure leg and handgrip strength in about 2,800 healthy adults and people with chronic lung diseases across Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Researchers want to create normal muscle strength values for these populations and see if the same standards can apply to peopl…

This study explores whether MRI can produce clear images of the lungs and airways in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and healthy volunteers. Researchers will use computer assistance to measure airway size and shape, and repeat the MRI two years later to see if changes occur. A s…

This study is creating a European registry for people with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM), a rare inflammatory breast condition that causes pain, redness, and abscesses. Researchers will collect information from 1,000 participants to better understand symptoms, treatment…

This study looks at how cystic fibrosis medications (CFTR modulators) change in the body during pregnancy and after childbirth in 30 women. Researchers will measure drug levels in blood, breast milk, and umbilical cord blood. The goal is to understand how these drugs work in preg…
