Condition(s) targeted: Cystic Fibrosis
Intervention: Amiloride Solution for Inhalation (Drug)
Phase: Phase 1
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Children's Hospital Boston Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Dawn Ericson, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Children's Hospital Boston
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if multiple doses of two inhaled drugs
will help Cystic Fibrosis patients whose lungs are infected with a bacteria called
Burkholderia dolosa. The names of these drugs are tobramycin solution for inhalation and
amiloride solution for inhalation. Currently, treating patients with Burkholderia dolosa
infections is challenging because the bacteria is resistant to antibiotics. Therefore,
researchers are looking for drugs which, when taken with an antibiotic, will help the
antibiotic to work more effectively.
