HE4 Protein and Lung Function in Cystic Fibrosis
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a protein in the blood (HE4) and how it relates to lung function in children with cystic fibrosis. It also tests a quality improvement plan to help manage CF. The goal is to find better ways to track and treat the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) through a sweat test or genetic testing.
- You need to be 6 years old or older.
- Your lung function (measured by a test called FEV1) must be 80% or less than normal for your age.
- You must be able to do a breathing test called spirometry.

This trial compares physical abilities between children with cystic fibrosis and healthy children. It aims to find differences that could lead to better care and therapies.
This study tests a new method to detect bacteria in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) by analyzing mucus samples. It aims to improve how we diagnose and treat lung infections.
This study tests whether using air cleaners in your home can improve lung health for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) or primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). It takes place in Cyprus and requires you to stay at home most days.
This study looks at how air pollution at home affects children with cystic fibrosis. It may help us understand if cleaner air can improve their health.
This study looks at how cystic fibrosis affects the heart and blood vessels in people taking CFTR modulators (like Trikafta). It also compares results to healthy adults to understand if the medicine helps protect the heart.
This study compares two ways to collect sweat from babies' arms versus legs to see which works better for diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF). If your baby is being checked for CF, this trial may help improve the testing process.
