Long Term Administration of Inhaled Dry Powder Mannitol In Cystic Fibrosis - A Safety and Efficacy Study

June 23, 2010 updated by: Pharmaxis
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of chronic treatment with inhaled dry powder mannitol in subjects with cystic fibrosis. Previous studies have demonstrated an improvement in lung function related to small airways obstruction and a significant improvement in respiratory symptoms and quality of life after a 2 week treatment with mannitol. This current study seeks to support these early findings and to extend the evidence to support its use as a mucoactive therapy in cystic fibrosis. In particular, the hypothesis that enhanced mucus clearance will improve the lung function and clinical presentation in this population, will be investigated. We also hypothesize that enhanced mucociliary clearance will result in a sustained reduction in mucus load, thus providing less opportunity for bacteria to proliferate, affording a reduction in antibiotic use and hospitalizations. The initial 6 month blinded phase will be followed with an additional 6 months of open label treatment.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
