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 looks at how the air quality inside your home may affect your child's cystic fibrosis. If you join, researchers will check your home's air and your child's lung function to see if there's a link, which might help find ways to make homes healthier for kids with CF.
This study looks at how cystic fibrosis and gene modulator treatments affect the health of your heart and blood vessels. By joining, you'll help researchers understand these effects and potentially improve care for people with CF.
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 trial checks if taking sweat samples from a baby's arm or leg is equally good for diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestion. It may help make sweat testing easier for babies and their families.
