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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Lung Clearance Index (LCI)
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29
Change from baseline to Day 29 in LCI as measured by multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) technique. MBNW is the time taken to wash out nitrogen while breathing 100% oxygen.
Baseline and Day 29

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Forced vital capacity (FVC) as a measure of lung function, measured before bronchodilator
Day 29
Change From Baseline in FVC Post- Bronchodilator
Time Frame: Day 29
Change From Baseline to Day 29 in FVC will be measured by spirometer after bronchodilator administration. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations will follow the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability. Forced vital capacity (FVC) as a measure of lung function, measured after bronchodilator
Day 29
Change From Baseline in TLC
Time Frame: Day 29
Change From Baseline to Day 29 in TLC will be measured by spirometry. Total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations will follow the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability.
Day 29
Change From Baseline in RV
Time Frame: Day 29
Change From Baseline to Day 29 in RV will be measured by spirometry. Residual volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations will follow the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability.
Day 29
Change From Baseline in FRC
Time Frame: Day 29
Change From Baseline to Day 29 in FRC will be measured by spirometry. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume in the lungs at the end-expiratory position. All spirometry calibrations and evaluations will follow the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines for acceptability.
Day 29
Change From Baseline in DLCO
Time Frame: Day 29
Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is the extent to which oxygen passes from the lung to the blood.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
