Longitudinal Analysis of Respiratory and Intestinal Microbiome in Cystic Fibrosis

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 45 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Kiel · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Respiratory und intestinal microbiome will bei analyzed during a period of 6 months. In a retrospective analysis it will be looked for correlations between microbiome and cf therapy (e.g. inhaled and systemic antibiotics, cftr modifiers, proton pump Inhibitors, enzymes, nutritional habits), clinical status and self reported outcome.

Detailed description

DNA will be isolated from sputum, throat swabs and stool samples and used for the generation of microbial profiles. Both bacterial and fungal profiles will be analyzed by next generation sequencing. Clinical outcome parameters (lung function test, weight, calprotectin, elastase, blood parameters, self reported outcome) will be recorded and analyzed along with medication.
