Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations - Aminoglycoside Study

Exploring treatments for lung flare-ups in cystic fibrosis patients.

Recruiting
6 years and older
All
Phase 4

This study looks at lung problems in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a disease that affects the lungs and makes breathing hard. Sometimes, these lung problems get worse and need special medicine called antibiotics, which are given through a tube in a vein (IV). The study compares two treatments: using one antibiotic called β-lactams, or using two antibiotics, tobramycin and β-lactams. Scientists want to know which treatment works best for improving lung health.

The study lasts for about 28 days. Participants must be at least 6 years old, have CF, and need IV antibiotics for 14 days. Pregnant people or those with certain health issues cannot join. The study checks if one or two antibiotics work better in helping people breathe easier.

  • Study lasts for about 28 days with two visits.
  • Ages 6 and up with cystic fibrosis can join.
  • Must not be pregnant or have recent serious lung issues.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
