NCT ID NCT05726994

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study explores whether analyzing the chemicals in exhaled breath can detect early changes in children with cystic fibrosis who start taking a medication called Kaftrio. Researchers will collect breath samples from 50 children under 12 before and after they begin treatment, looking for shifts in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that might signal the drug is working. The goal is to develop a non-invasive way to monitor treatment response without needles or scans.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
exhaled breath collection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple breath test to monitor how well CFTR modulators are working in young children with cystic fibrosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The breath profile changes may be too subtle or variable to be clinically useful.
