Cystic fibrosis blood/sweat check using MRI in children
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at new “imaging biomarkers” (MRI measurements) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). It mainly aims to see how MRI findings might relate to starting the recommended CF triple-combination therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child’s legal guardian) can sign consent, and your child can provide assent if appropriate
- Your child can attend study visits on schedule and follow the study rules
- Your child is 6–8 years old at the baseline MRI (they may enroll up to 60 days before turning 6)
- Your child has CF confirmed by sweat test (salt level ≥60) and/or CF gene testing showing two CF mutations
- The study doctor plans to start triple-combination CF therapy for your child
- Your child is healthy enough for MRI: no breathing infection and able to cooperate during the scan

This study uses MRI scans to monitor lung health in teens and young adults with cystic fibrosis who are taking Trikafta. It aims to find better ways to track how the disease affects the lungs over time.
This study uses MRI scanning to better understand how the lungs differ in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and in people with non-CF bronchiectasis. The results may help doctors understand disease changes over time and guide future care, especially for children and teens.
This study uses a special MRI technique (19F MRI) to look at how well your lungs are working and where any blockages are. The goal is to understand airway problems in cystic fibrosis better.
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
This study looks at how cystic fibrosis affects bone health and bone marrow in teenagers. It uses a special MRI scan to measure bone strength and marrow composition, which may help doctors better understand and prevent bone problems in people with CF.
This study enrolls newly diagnosed infants with cystic fibrosis to follow them during “precision medicine” care. It may help doctors better understand which treatments and monitoring work best, especially before certain infections develop.
