Study population: Multicenter study to create a longitudinal cohort of adult CF subjects recruited from NYU and Columbia. A subgroup of subjects will be selected for a more invasive assessment of the lung microbiome with research bronchoscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • CF diagnosis
  • able to produce sputum
  • no recent (one month) exacerbation defined as physician treatment with antibiotics for ≥ 7days
  • FEV1 ≥ 30% of predicted.

Who cannot join

  • Initiation of any new chronic therapy (e.g., ibuprofen, aerosolized rhDNase, hypertonic saline, azithromycin, tobramycin inhalation solution, aztreonam inhalation solution, ivacaftor) within 8 weeks prior to enrolment
  • introduction of vitamins or proton pump inhibitors within 8 weeks prior to enrolment
  • use of new investigational therapy within 4 weeks
  • current smoker; use of oral corticosteroids
  • Initiation of treatment or change in regimen for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or nontuberculous mycobacteria within 8 weeks.
  • liver enzymes > 3 times the upper limit

About this study

Official title: Evaluation Of The Pan-microbiome and Host Immune Response in Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

Investigators will examine temporal and regional dynamic changes in the microbiome of Cystic Fibrosis patients to explore microbiome features that are associated with an inflammatory phenotype. Investigators hypothesize that temporal and spatial differences in lung microbiome are associated with host inflammatory responses.

While chronic and polymicrobial airway colonization are commonly recognized in cystic fibrosis (CF), it is unclear what factors of the microbial environment lead to infection with pathogenic microorganism. This is a multi center, longitudinal cohort of adult Cystic Fibrosis subjects recruit4ed from NYU and Columbia to understand how changes in the airway microbiome may affect the host inflammatory responses in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). There will be three approaches to understanding inflammatory responses; 1) a longitudinal assessment of temporal changes in the microbiome over a 6-month period of clinical stability; 2) comparison of the regional differences in airway microbiome between lung segments with more versus less disease; 3) evaluation of functional aspects of the lung microbiome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis (CF), run by NYU Langone Health 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 11 Jul 2023. 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?

Changes in Oral Inflammatory markers (time frame: Baseline, 6 Months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jul 2023.
