Clinical Trials

• Study to Evaluate the Effect of KB001-A on Time-to-Need for Antibiotic Treatment

  The purpose of this study is to confirm and extend the Phase 1-2 KB001 findings of an airway anti-inflammatory effect in CF individuals with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) airway infection. It is hypothesized that steady-state levels of KB001-A in CF subjects with airway Pa infection will be safe and well-tolerated, and will increase the time-to-need for antibiotic treatment (IV, inhaled, or oral) for worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms compared with placebo.

• Early Intervention in Cystic Fibrosis Exacerbation

  Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop chronic lung infections and suffer intermittent acute exacerbations of their lung disease. Most exacerbations are not treated until they cause increased symptoms, and patients seek medical attention. This proposal details a study of home lung function and symptom monitoring. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) home monitoring, in which spirometry and symptoms are recorded; or 2) standard care. The home monitoring data will be transmitted electronically to the study center. If spirometry or symptoms have deteriorated substantially, treatment for a CF pulmonary exacerbation will be initiated. It is anticipated that use of home monitoring will lead to earlier, more reliable recognition and treatment of exacerbations, which will translate into better lung health.

• Long-term Study in US Cystic Fibrosis Patients Receiving Digestive Enzyme Supplements to Assess Narrowing of the Large Intestine Causing Adverse Intestinal Symptoms (Fibrosing Colonopathy)

  This is a long-term study in cystic fibrosis patients who are participating in the Cystic Fibrosis Patient Registry to assess the occurrence and risk factors for a rare bowel disorder called fibrosing colonopathy (narrowing of the large intestine). Patients will be followed at their regular clinical care visits over a 10-year period and approached if they develop symptoms of fibrosing colonopathy for collection and use of further detailed information.

• A Study of Lumacaftor in Combination With Ivacaftor in Cystic Fibrosis Subjects Aged 12 Years and Older Who Are Homozygous for the F508del-CFTR Mutation

  The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor at Week 24 in participants aged 12 years and older with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation on the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
