Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter open-label study in adults with CF who are colonized with NTM. Subjects will receive two 5-day infusion cycles of IV gallium. The study will evaluate the safety and antimycobacterial effect of two 5-day infusions of IV gallium. Subjects will be on study for up to 148 days, with a screening period of up to 7 days and active study period up to 20 days. About 40 people with CF who are 18 years of age or older will take part in this study at about 10 hospitals and clinics around the country.

Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations: A platform for evaluating treatment decisions to improve outcomes (STOP360)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00124625
Researcher
Christina Mingora

List of Studies

Keywords
Cystic Fibrosis
Summary

The primary objective of this platform trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of differing treatments in CF pulmonary exacerbations during a planned 14 day course of IV antimicrobials. Primary efficacy will be evaluated as the difference in mean ppFEV1 (pulmonary function testing) changes from Visit 1 to Visit 2 (Day 28 ± 2 days) between intervention arms. The study will compare treatment of an intravenous aminoglycoside and β-lactams (AG) versus intravenous β-lactams only (non-AG) in people with CF diagnosed with a pulmonary exacerbation who will be treated for Pa.

Summary

The study will be an open-label, randomized, parallel arm study that will include a
treatment arm and control arm. Participants will have clinic visits at screening, randomization (day 1) and weeks 4, 12, 18, and 24. After week 24, participants will have clinic visits at weeks 32, 40, and 48. Participants will also have a telehealth visit on day 2 and phone calls to assess adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and review patient education will occur during weeks 5, 8, 36, and 44. The phone calls may be converted to telehealth visits or clinic visits and / or followed by clinic visits, if the study team deems it necessary. Pulmonary function testing, quality of life survey (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)), and blood draw will occur at each clinic visit.

IBD Qorus: Improving the Quality of Care for Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Date Added
February 22nd, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00125585
Researcher
Erin Forster

List of Studies


Keywords
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Summary

The goal of this study is to collect health information from adults with IBD to better understand the disease and ultimately improve care for participants and other adults living with IBD. Participation in this study is voluntary. If a subject agrees to be in this study, we will collect information electronically (through a web-based platform called IBD Qorus) from the subject and the subject's IBD health care provider about their IBD health information.

Approximately 50 sites across the U.S. are currently participated in this study. The study is sponsored by the non-profit Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

With the collected medical data, the study will focus on the strategy of identifying goals (or targets) of IBD care, developing a strategy to reach these goals, and then continuously evaluating progress of achieving these targets and modifying the treatment plan.

Summary

The Program will allow access to brensocatib for patients who have completed the INS1007-301 ASPEN Clinical Trial. Patients will receive brensocatib 10 mg orally once daily. Eligible, compliant patients may receive brensocatib in this program until the drug is commercially available or until Insmed terminates the program.

A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomized, Controlled Trial Platform To Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Strategies and Treatments for Hospitalized Patients with Respiratory Infections

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00126098
Researcher
Andrew Goodwin

List of Studies


Keywords
Coronavirus, Critical Care
Summary

The protocol aims to improve standard of care, by ensuring an agile research infrastructure, with an ability to rapidly assess interventions during epidemic transmission of one or more respiratory pathogens adversely affecting public health.

Trials within this protocol can be adaptive, will be randomized, and will have superiority as the primary objective. Comparisons in the trials may be between an unlicensed agent to a blinded placebo plus standard of care (SOC), between an approved off-label agent to a blinded placebo plus SOC, among several active interventions (blinded or non-blinded; i.e., a comparative effectiveness study), or among different treatment strategies.

Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF (STRONG-CF)

Date Added
June 19th, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00129339
Researcher
Christina Mingora

List of Studies

Keywords
Cystic Fibrosis
Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study to investigate clinical markers of nutritional status, physical frailty, and sarcopenia in adults with CF spanning a range of lung impairment and to identify barriers and risk factors to optimize nutrition and physical functioning in this patient population. Repeat measurements of body composition and physical function by various methods will be taken during the study and compared to clinical outcomes, as well as with each other. Smaller sub-set studies will be performed to assess bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and/or ultrasound as measures of body composition. Two cohorts matched by age, sex, race, and CFTR genotype severity will be enrolled: (1) those with FEV1 <60% and (2) those with FEV1 ≥60%.

Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) Strategies Domain

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00131378
Researcher
Andrew Goodwin

List of Studies


Keywords
Critical Care
Summary

This study is part of what is called a platform study. This platform study, called the "PRACTICAL" study is designed so that various interventions can be evaluated at the same time against standard therapy. This allows researchers to compare these newer interventions to each other as well as to the established usual practice and helps them explore different ways to potentially improve the management of lung injury. Within the platform study there are various different sub-studies that have their own interventions and procedures. This domain sub-study is the "Mechanical Ventilation Study" and it is a multi-centre, randomized, open-label trial that will evaluate multiple ventilation strategies in comparison to conventional lung-protective ventilation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). This domain will enroll perpetually, as interventions are added, continued, or discontinued. Researchers for this study are looking for different types of ventilation strategies (ways that the ventilators control settings can be adjusted) that may be the most helpful for people in their recovery, while also reducing lung damage caused by the ventilator.
