MRI scans to check airway changes in cystic fibrosis
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the airways in the lungs of children and teens with cystic fibrosis. It aims to see if MRI can detect changes in airway structure, which might help monitor the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 6 and 18 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
- You must be able to do a breathing test (spirometry).
- You cannot have taken oral antibiotics in the past 3 weeks.
- You cannot have taken new oral or inhaled antibiotics in the past 3 weeks, or IV antibiotics in the past 2 weeks.
- You cannot need supplemental oxygen or have had a lung or other organ transplant.

This study tests a new type of MRI scan that uses either special gas (xenon) or regular MRI to take detailed pictures of the lungs in people with cystic fibrosis. The goal is to see how well these scans can track lung health over time, without using X-ray radiation.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the gut moves and works in people with cystic fibrosis. It tests a medicine called linaclotide (which helps with constipation) against a placebo to see if it changes gut function.
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 uses a special MRI scan to see how well a single triple inhaler works for people with COPD who have moderate to severe shortness of breath or feel their health is not good. It compares two groups: those with a low risk of flare-ups and those with a high risk, to find out if the treatment helps both groups.
This study uses advanced MRI imaging and breathing tests to understand how healthy lungs work. Researchers are developing new ways to measure lung function that might help doctors diagnose lung disease earlier in the future.
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.
