Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study to investigate the effect of sulforaphane from macerated broccoli sprouts in humans and to evaluate less invasive methods of assessing potential anti-inflammatory drugs in CF.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The hypothesis to be tested is that sulforaphane consumed from macerated broccoli sprouts will activate Nrf2, reduce oxidative metabolites and reduce neutrophils in the oral mucosa after 5 days of therapy in healthy volunteers and CF subjects.

The study requires 6 brief outpatient visits over 8 days. Study procedures include medical history, height, weight, vital signs, blood and urine collection, nasal curettage, saline mouthwash, and ingestion of broccoli sprouts (100 gm of 3 to 5 day old raw broccoli sprouts once daily for 5 consecutive days).
