Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 3 months to 5 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: infants/young children with cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, or other chronic lung disease, followed at our CF Center or Pulmonary Clinics

Inclusion Criteria:1) Infants and young children (age <= 3 months to < 5 years) and either 2) or 3) below.

  1. Respiratory condition (e.g. cystic fibrosis (CF), primary ciliary dyskinesia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, asthma, or other pulmonary condition) and under the care of a pediatric pulmonologist at LPCH.
  2. Oncology condition (e.g. young children with or without cancer, who are being screened for lung metastasis) and are being followed by pediatric oncologists at LPCH.
  3. For minors, informed consent by parent or legal guardian.
  4. Ability to comply with study visit procedures as judged by the investigator. Exclusion Criteria:1) Acute wheezing and/or respiratory distress at Study visit.
  5. Acute intercurrent respiratory infection, defined as an increase in cough, wheezing, or respiratory rate with onset in 1 week preceding Study visit.
  6. Oxygen saturation < 90% on room air at study visit.
  7. Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator precludes subject participation.

About this study

Official title: Differentiating Outcome Measures in Infant and Early Childhood Lung Disease Utilizing Controlled Ventilation Infant/Young Child Chest CT Scanning and Lung Function Testing

To implement a new method of performing chest CT imaging in young children at Packard Children's Hospital entitled controlled ventilation infant/young child chest CT scanning. This technique will be used to evaluate early lung disease comparing quantitative chest CT air trapping and airway measurements with lung function measurements in infants, toddlers, and young children with chronic lung disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intubation with a cuffed ET TubeProcedure or surgery

  • CT scan RadiationProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quantitative CT air trapping & airway measurements

    Measured: 6 mo

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Functional residual capacity (FRC) & Lung Clearance Index (LCI).

    Measured: 6 mo

  2. Differences between Quantitative CT air trapping & airway measurements & multibreath washout (MBW) FRC and LCI.

    Measured: 6 mo

  3. Correlation between LCI and quantitative air trapping

    Measured: 6 mo

  4. Correlation between bronchial wall thickness measurements/bronchiectasis measurements and LCI/FRC

    Measured: 6 mo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Stanford 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?

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 4 Apr 2013. 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.

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?

Quantitative CT air trapping & airway measurements (time frame: 6 mo). 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 4 Apr 2013.
