The CF Patient Registry is an observational study. It does not involve medical treatments and serves only as an epidemiologic record of demographics, characteristics of disease and treatment, utilization patterns, and clinical outcomes.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus; SLE), Systemic Sclerosis (scleroderma; SSc) and Systemic Vasculitis (SV) are relatively rare rheumatic diseases that disproportionately impact the African American community, and particularly African American women. The causes of lupus, scleroderma and vasculitis are unknown, but thought to include both genetic and environmental factors. We are enrolling lupus, scleroderma, and vasculitis patients, and healthy control subjects. This is not a drug study. The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors that predispose people to develop lupus, scleroderma, and vasculitis. Information about medical, social and family history, medications, physical exam findings, and laboratory tests will be collected for analysis. This study will involve approximately 1360 volunteers.
Lamprene®/Clofazimine, is a product of the pharmaceutical company named Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Lamprene®/Clofazimine is approved by FDA (the U.S Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of leprosy. It is being tested in non-Novartis clinical studies for drug resistant tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
If you have been diagnosed with NTM, then your doctor may decide that this infection can be treated with Lamprene®/Clofazimine. This medicine is provided to you in an expanded access program. This means that this medicine is not registered for the treatment of NTM, but it can be used in special situations where there are no other possible treatments. For example, this may be because you have a type of Mycobacterial infection that is resistant or failed to respond optimally to other drugs, or because you have had side effects that prevent the use of other drugs.
This study has two parts and will assess your hearing and the potential effects of antibiotic-induced ototoxicity. Ototoxicity is a potential effect of drugs used to treat your lung infections, and its effect on your ears (oto=ears), particularly structures in your inner ear that enable hearing and balance. Part One of the study will assess your inner ear function that may be associated with hearing loss and / or loss of balance in cystic fibrosis patients taking tobramycin. Part Two is looking to determine if SPI-1005, an investigational drug, influences hearing loss, due to mediations (tobramycin).
The goal of this cohort and biorepository is to collect data and blood specimens on individuals with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), pulmonary disease, and healthy adults to better understand the illness and ultimately improve the care and survival of those with these conditions.
The purpose of this study is to better understand treatment practices for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease. This study is comparing the effectiveness and tolerability of taking 2 drugs compared to 3 drugs in people with MAC disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect and safety of amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) study treatment on patient-reported symptoms in subjects newly diagnosed with NTM lung infection caused by MAC who have not started standard treatment. Around 250 subjects 18 years and older with newly diagnosed NTM lung infection caused by MAC who have not started standard treatment are expected to participate in this study. The study will last around 17.5 months from the Screening visit to the end of the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the study drug, brensocatib, as treatment for NCFBE. This is a double-blinded study.
The maximum study duration is 62 weeks total for an individual participant, including a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks, a Treatment Period of 52 weeks, and an End-of-Study Visit 4 weeks following the end of treatment. Approximately 1,620 subjects between the ages of 18 and 85 years, with diagnosed NCFBE are expected to participate in this study. The study is being conducted at approximately 480 centers in North America, Europe, Japan, and the rest of the world. All subjects will complete the same study procedures. The study will last approximately 62 weeks from the Screening (Visit 1) to the End of Study (Visit 12). There will be 12 visits including the Screening Visit (1 visit), Study Treatment Visits (10 visits: 6 visits are in the study clinic [Visits 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11], and 4 visits by telephone from your home [Visits 4, 6, 8, and 10]), and an End of Study Visit (1 visit). The End of Study Visit (Visit 12) will occur in the study clinic.
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study in pregnant women with cystic fibrosis (CF) to characterize forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) changes based on exposure to highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The key factors contributing to the change in lung function during pregnancy and for 2 years post-delivery will be evaluated along with assessment of fetal and maternal outcomes.
The total duration of participation for each participant is expected to be about 3 years (up to 35 months). Women will be enrolled in the first trimester of pregnancy and assessed every 3 months during pregnancy and during the first year after delivery, then every 6 months for an additional year. Over the course of the study, CF clinical data, patient-reported outcomes, questionnaires, obstetrical outcomes, infant growth, child development outcomes, baseline CF-related therapies and co-morbidities will be collected to enable evaluation of changes from before pregnancy to during pregnancy and post-delivery.
MAYFLOWERS participants will be provided an opportunity to participate in an optional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sub-study to evaluate glucose control in pregnancy. Participants will undergo CGM sensor placement and data collection as part of the MAYFLOWERS study.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of the drug omadacyline for people with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease, caused by a type of mycobacteria called Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either omadacycline or placebo, with a 60% chance of being treated with omadacycline and a 40% chance of being treated with placebo. About 75 men and women with NTM lung infection caused by MABc, ages 18 and up, will be in this study, with an estimated 4 participants being enrolled from the MUSC site. Participants will be in this study for approximately 5 months in total, beginning with the Screening visit and continuing until their last study visit.
