About this study
Official title: Post Marketing Study of Anti-pseudomonas IgY in Prevention of Recurrence of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infections Infections in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients
Hypothesis: Daily gargling with specific avian antibodies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa will prevent infections with this bacteria in patients with Cystic fibrosis (CF).
Read the detailed description
"Anti-pseudomonas IgY" is prepared from eggs of hens that have been vaccinated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The hens farm is under veterinary control according to Swedish rules. The drug is prepared with a water dilution method according to GMP standards (approved by Swedish MPA). Patients with CF who are intermittently but not chronically infected with P. aeruginosa get a short course of antibiotics to eradicate the bacteria. Thereafter they start to gargle with a solution of "anti-pseudomonas IgY" every night to prevent a new infection. Preliminary results have shown that it takes a significantly longer time to get a new infection and that the patients get fewer infections than control patients. In addition, results tentatively indicate that: patients have not got any new opportunistic bacteria or fungi (B. Cepacia, S. Maltophilia, A. Xylosoxidans, atypical Mycobacteria, Aspergillus Fumigatus); that use of antibiotics is greatly diminished; that the lung functions and nutritional conditions are maintained.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Anti-pseudomonas IgY gargle in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Infection, run by Immunsystem AB at 1 site in Sweden.
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 3 inclusion and 1 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 1 Sep 2016. 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 Sweden. 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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Sputum culture positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (time frame: Prospective). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00633191, which also lists 8 linked publications.
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 1 Sep 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
