Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study was to evaluate lung clearance index (LCI) by a standardized procedure in a well characterized study setting and to assess feasibility of LCI as a more sensitive method than forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) to measure effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in patients with CF aged 6 years and older with mild to moderate lung disease.

Detailed Description

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

This study was terminated prematurely. The reason for trial termination was challenge with enrollment and patient recruitment. A significant decrease in the eligible patient population had been identified as main driver.
