Preventing Liver Cancer Mortality Through Imaging With Ultrasound vs. MRI
open to eligible people ages 18-75
The study is a randomized trial of two different screening methods for early detection of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The goal of PREMIUM is to compare an abbreviated version of the diagnostic gold standard for HCC (aMRI) +AFP to the standard-of-care screening (US+AFP) in patients at high risk of developing HCC. The investigators hypothesize that HCC will be detected at earlier stages, allowing for more curative treatments and resulting in a reduction in HCC-related mortality.

Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations - Aminoglycoside Study
open to eligible people ages 6 years and up
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is trying to answer the following questions about treating a pulmonary exacerbation: - Do participants have the same improvement in lung function and symptoms if they are treated with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams or β-lactams) versus taking two different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and β-lactams)? - Is taking one type of antibiotic just as good as taking two types?

Check the Safety of Fazirsiran and Learn if Fazirsiran Can Help People With Liver Disease and Scarring (Fibrosis) Due to an Abnormal Version of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Protein
open to eligible people ages 18-75
The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo. Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.

MGL-3196 (Resmetirom) in Patients With NASH and Fibrosis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
A double-blind placebo controlled randomized Phase 3 study to determine if 80 or 100 mg of MGL-3196 as compared with placebo resolves NASH and/or reduces fibrosis on liver biopsy and prevents progression to cirrhosis and/or advanced liver disease

Streamlined Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations in Pediatrics
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
The STOP PEDS RCT is a multicenter, parallel, open label randomized controlled trial evaluating the long-term (one year) and short-term safety and efficacy of two antibiotic treatment strategies for the management of outpatient pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in the pediatric CF population.

Belapectin for the Prevention of Esophageal Varices in NASH Cirrhosis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This seamless, adaptive, two-stage, Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-groups, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belapectin compared with placebo in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and clinical signs of portal hypertension but without esophageal varices at baseline.

Inhaled Treprostinil in Subjects With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Study RIN-PF-301 is designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.

Taking Advantage of Phage Technologies (TAPT) to Facilitate Phage Therapy While Reducing the Use of Antibiotics in the Management of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center pilot study evaluating the safety and microbiological activity of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage therapy in combination with standard IV antibiotics in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) experiencing pulmonary exacerbations due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Eligible participants will receive a 7-day course of IV antibiotics, selected by their treating clinician, along with a phage cocktail specifically formulated to target their identified bacterial pathogen (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, or Achromobacter xylosoxidans). The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of this combined treatment approach. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include assessment of changes in sputum bacterial burden, lung function (spirometry and oscillometry), quality of life, and bacteriophage pharmacokinetics. Results from this study will inform the feasibility and design of future clinical trials using phage therapy in the CF population.
Advance the CF Therapeutics Pipeline for People Without Modulators
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
The REACH study is for people with CF who do not take cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The goal of the REACH study is to collect research data, including health data and specimens, from people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators. This data may be used to inform CF research, help design CF clinical trials and support the development of new treatments for people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators. Another goal of this study is to learn about research involvement for people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators, engage them in research, and give them an opportunity to learn about what is involved in participating in a CF research study.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Adult Liver Study
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The investigators hypothesize that there is liver injury (inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis) in adults with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD), which is asymptomatic, under-recognized, and undiagnosed. In addition, the investigators believe that the genetic and environmental factors that play an important role in the development of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) liver disease, can be identified by comparing a cohort database of clinical disease information to linked biospecimen and DNA samples.

PATIENCE Trial: Prospective Algorithm for Treatment of NTM in Cystic Fibrosis
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
Isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from the sputum of individuals with CF is an increasingly common finding, and the lack of an evidenced-based approach to treatment of NTM disease has been identified as one of the greatest unmet needs within the CF community. Current evidence predicts that the prevalence of NTM will remain relatively high in the CF population. Approaches to NTM disease treatment differ widely between centers, and expected outcomes are not known. This study is observational and follows current best practices. The study will help define response to treatment, and collect relevant data associated with treatment of NTM disease to build a framework for future therapeutic trials.

PREDICT Trial: PRospective Evaluation of NTM Disease In CysTic Fibrosis
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
Isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from the sputum of individuals with CF is an increasingly common finding, and the lack of an evidenced-based approach to the diagnosis of NTM disease has been identified as one of the greatest unmet needs within the CF community. Current evidence predicts that the prevalence of NTM will remain relatively high in the CF population. Approaches to NTM disease diagnosis differ widely between centers. This study is observational and follows current best practices. The study will help standardize the diagnosis and collect relevant data associated with the diagnosis of NTM disease to build a framework for future therapeutic trials.
