About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Hydroxychloroquine in Cystic Fibrosis

Study levels of inflammatory mediators in induced sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis before and after a 4 week course of oral hydroxychloroquine.

Read the detailed description

Open label study of effect of hydroxychloroquine on inflammation, bacterial burden and exhaled breath condensate pH in patients with cystic fibrosis. Patients with cystic fibrosis, 16 years or older and with pulmonary function tests with an FEV1 greater than 40% predicted will be eligible for enrollment. Enrolled subjects will undergo collection of exhaled breath condensate and sputum induction and collection following nebulized hypertonic saline, before and following a 4 week course of oral hydroxychloroquine at 200 mg a day. Inflammatory mediators, neutrophil counts, and bacterial density in sputum and exhaled breath condensate pH will be measure at entry and at the end of 4 weeks of oral drug. There will be no placebo group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing hydroxychloroquine in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in inflammatory mediators and exhaled breath condensate pH following 4 week administration of drug. (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2008.
