Imaging Airway Liquid Absorption in Cystic Fibrosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Absorptive clearance scan for Cystic Fibrosis. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators are developing a new nuclear medicine imaging technique for measuring liquid absorption in the airways that can be applied to screen new medications being developed to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). The investigators believe that the absorption of the small molecule radiopharmaceutical Indium 111-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (In-DTPA) will indicate changes in liquid absorption in the airways and demonstrate whether new CF medications will be effective. In this study the investigators will further develop this technique through testing involving pediatric CF patients and healthy control subjects.
