Cystic Fibrosis Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• Children aged 5 and older, as well as adults of any age, who have been referred to the NIH with long-term or repeated respiratory infections
• Both males and females of any race or ethnicity are welcome to apply
• People whose main condition is bronchiectasis (a lung condition) not caused by cystic fibrosis, though some people with cystic fibrosis or immune conditions like HIV may also be considered
• You must have your own doctor or a doctor who referred you to this trial
• You must be willing to have samples (such as blood or tissue) stored for research
• Blood relatives of participants may also be able to join in a limited way, by providing samples such as blood, sputum, urine, or cheek swabs to help researchers understand if there is a genetic link to these infections (confirm with trial site)

Who may not be able to join:

• People whose respiratory problems are caused by common conditions like allergies, asthma, or acid reflux, and where there is no sign of an underlying problem with the body's defenses against infection
• People who are unable or unwilling to give their consent to take part in the trial
• People who are unlikely or unwilling to attend regular follow-up appointments or provide useful information about how their condition is progressing
• Children under the age of 5, as reliable testing is more difficult in very young children

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
