Clinical Trials

This project will determine the health impact of parenthood on people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The study team will use retrospective data to provide relatively immediate evidence on parenthood's effect on pulmonary health.

The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

Are you an adult with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and currently taking vasodilators? This study is testing the efficacy of a new medicine called famotidine for people with PAH. Participants in this study must be between 18 and 80 years old and willing to take famotidine or a placebo for 6 months. This study takes place in Seattle, Washington.

Are you an adult diagnosed with cystic fibrosis who would like to help test web-based educational resources designed to inform and prepare patients to make decisions about lung transplantation? This study will determine if it is feasible for study participants to complete use of an assigned web-based educational program, and evaluate whether providing certain educational resources leaves participants more prepared to make future treatment decisions involving lung transplantation with their health care provider(s). To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old. This study takes place in Seattle, Washington.

Are you a woman 18 years old or older who has been diagnosed with LAM? This study is examining whether long-term treatment with medicine called sirolimus can stop lung damage in women who have LAM. This study takes place at multiple locations in the United States.
