Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Increased Copies of the MET Gene (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests how well amivantamab-subcutaneous (SC) works in treating patients patients with MET amplification non-small cell lung cancer. Amivantamab-SC is a drug that reduces extra copies of the MET gene, a change present in your tumor. Giving amivantamab-SC may lower the chance of the …
Comparison of Computertomography Scan, Electrical Impedance Tomography, and Ultrasound of the Lung in Infants
The study focuses on regional lung examination, in particular on the differentiation between collapsed and hyperinflated lung areas. The purpose of the study is to elaborate common and discriminative elements between different lung imaging modalities in infants and to generate hypotheses for the bedside use of EIT and LUS in …
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
Testing Drug Efficacy in Cystic Fibrosis Through N-of-1 Trials
The purpose of this study is to validate and utilize a personalized medicine approach to identify potential treatments with current FDA approved CFTR modifiers for non-approved CF gene mutations. The study will perform ex vivo testing of CFTR function and current marketed CFTR modulating drugs on expanded nasal cells at …
Correction of Nonsense Mutations in Cystic Fibrosis
The presence of a nonsense mutation leads to the rapid degradation of the carrier mRNA mutation by a mechanism called NMD (nonsense-mediated mRNA decay) \[6, 13\]. There are currently 3 main strategies at least for correcting nonsense mutations: exon skipping, inhibition of NMD and nonsense mutation readthrough. In the laboratory, …
Markers of Osteoporosis in Cystic Fibrosis
Main Study Up to 100 subjects, both non-CF volunteers and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, will participate in a single study visit that will include a DEXA scan, micro CT, and blood collection. Denosumab (Prolia) Sub study Approximately 10 adult subjects with CF who participated in the main study and have …
Modulate-CF: Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) Biomarker Study to Evaluate the Rescue of Mutant CFTR in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Treated With CFTR-modulators
This observational study evaluates the effect of therapy with cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulators on CFTR function measured by the CFTR biomarker intestinal current measurement (ICM), nasal potential difference (NPD) and sweat chloride in a post-approval setting in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Patienthèque of Finisterian (South of Brittany) Children With Cystic Fibrosis in the Time of Precision Medicine
The objective of this study is to evaluate the relevance of Porphyromonas as a biomarker predicting the risk of P. aeruginosa primocolonization in children form 0 to 18 years old with cystic fibrosis.
Rare CFTR Mutation Cell Collection Protocol (RARE)
Over 1,900 mutations in the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein are implicated in causing Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Potential therapies that directly target defective CFTR are being evaluated in important clinical trials, but most target the most common CFTR mutation F508del. Many patients with rare CF …
Intestine-lung Axis of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated With the Combination Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor
Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease, which affects in particular the respiratory and digestive systems of patients, sites of chronic inflammation. A new combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has proven its efficacy for the treatment of patients aged 12 years and over with two F508del mutations or a so-called "minimal function" mutation …
