Study summary

In this project the investigators aim to identify new biological markers by characterizing the response/inflammation associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis with the aim of increasing current knowledge available on the development and progression of lung disease.

Read the detailed description

Main objective:

Evaluate the correlation between early alterations in the profile of specific cell populations or expression markers or soluble immunity activation proteins, considering in particular the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Secondary objectives

  • Identify cellular expression profiles associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in cystic fibrosis patients and evaluate its ability to predict clinical outcome
  • Identify biomarkers or molecular profiles associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in cystic fibrosis patients and evaluate its ability to predict clinical outcome
  • Expand pathogenetic knowledge to support disease progression pulmonary disease from M. abscessus in patients with cystic fibrosis and evaluate their ability to predict clinical outcome.
  • Describe the reciprocal interactions between cellular and humoral components of the response inflammatory disease during M. abscessus infection with/without M. abscessus lung disease.

Study population

Patients with cystic fibrosis

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with a certain diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and visited during normal clinical practice, in accordance with the standard operating procedures in force at the Centres.
  • Both sexes
  • Age >18 years
  • Obtaining for patients (based on the procedures established by the protocol).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients unable to understand the instructions and information provided and be able to adequately accept the study methods.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 16, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
