Brief description of study
You have probably heard about the pH
levels of soils – if it is acidic or basic. Did you know that the human airway
also has a measurement of its acidity and basicity, called airway pH?
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are researching how to
identify the airway pH of people with asthma and cystic fibrosis, and then to
see if a breathed-in drug treatment will have an impact on the pH of their
airway. In this study, researchers will:
·
Look at your
specific airway’s environment and evaluate the severity of your asthma
·
Collect some airway
samples and measurements to compare to other levels of asthma
·
Measure if the pH of
your airway responds to the breathed-in drug treatment
Detailed description of study
Who
is eligible
This study is for people who are 18-50 years of age
with asthma OR cystic fibrosis who also:
- Have had no recent flares
- Have had no recent change in medication
- Are available for 3-4 clinic visits over 4-12 weeks
- Are currently a non-smoker
What is Involved
·
Participation
involves 3-4 study visits at Riley Hospital
in Indianapolis, IN over the course of 2-12 weeks.
Study visits will include:
·
Measurements of
airway function and inflammation
·
A breathed-in drug
treatment
·
A research
bronchoscopy, which is a procedure that uses a scope to look inside the lungs.
Compensation
·
Participants will be
compensated for their time and completing all
study requirements
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: asthma, cystic fibrosis
-
Age: Between 18 Years - 50 Years
-
Gender: All
