Further study details as provided by Vanderbilt University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in inflammatory mediators and exhaled breath condensate pH following 4 week administration of drug. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: March 2006
Study Completion Date: December 2007
Primary Completion Date: December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

Open label study of effect of hydroxychloroquine on inflammation, bacterial burden and exhaled breath condensate pH in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Patients with cystic fibrosis, 16 years or older and with pulmonary function tests with an FEV1 greater than 40% predicted will be eligible for enrollment. Enrolled subjects will undergo collection of exhaled breath condensate and sputum induction and collection following nebulized hypertonic saline, before and following a 4 week course of oral hydroxychloroquine at 200 mg a day. Inflammatory mediators, neutrophil counts, and bacterial density in sputum and exhaled breath condensate pH will be measure at entry and at the end of 4 weeks of oral drug. There will be no placebo group.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   16 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  2. Chronic daily use of ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, or systemic corticosteroids, or any oral diabetic or hypoglycemic agent within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or acute usage within 72 hours prior to Visit 1
  3. History of hypersensitivity to beta-agonists
  4. History of hypersensitivity to hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine
  5. Oxygen saturation < 92% on room air at Visit 1
  6. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to practice birth control during participation in the study
  7. History of hemoptysis 30 cc per episode during the 30 days prior to Visit 1
  8. Significant history of hepatic, cardiovascular, renal, neurological, hematologic, or peptic ulcer disease
