Medication Frequency for Infected Pleural Fluid

We are performing a clinical study to determine the optimal frequency for medications for infected pleural fluid, referred to as intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET). Participants will either receive once daily IET or twice daily IET. We hypothesize that once daily IET will be non-inferior to twice daily IET.

STOP PEDS Xenon MRI Ancillary Study

Evaluate the regional lung function and structural changes using MRI in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) prescribed either immediate or tailored therapy for their pulmonary exacerbation. The primary outcome measure for this ancillary study is the change in ventilation defect percentage (VDP) calculated from Xe MRI, which represents the fraction of the lung with absent or reduced ventilation.

Screening for Unmet Needs in CF

There is a movement toward addressing social risk factors as part of healthcare delivery, with similar efforts launched by the CF Foundation. However, current social screening tools do not capture the unique risks and needs of people with CF, have not been tailored to adults with CF vs caregivers of children with CF, and have not been adapted to multidisciplinary CF care delivery. Our work also showed <20% of those who report needs access help, and found barriers related to stigma, guilt, or fear. It is critical to develop a social screening instrument that is specific to adults and caregivers of children with CF, acceptable to them, and rigorously tested for reliability and validity. Using a community-engaged process, we will systematically address these knowledge gaps.

Pulmonary Hypertension - Interstitial Lung Disease Registry

The PH-ILD Registry is a prospective registry aiming to characterize and capture real world data from patients with PH-ILD, for which limited data exists for this population. Data collected includes demographic characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes to further clinical understanding of the disease as it develops over a patient's lifetime.

GEMINI-NSCLC: TEMPUS NSCLC SURVEILLANCE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new test being developed by Tempus for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The goal of this new test is to predict the likelihood of a patient's cancer coming back after treatment, and to further explore changes in patient's tumors throughout treatment to see how they respond.
