A Longitudinal, Observational Study of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Adults
The goal of this observational study is to characterize clinical measures and biomarkers of airway disease in adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and in a group of healthy volunteers (HV) to establish normative values. Lung function, mucociliary clearance, radiological findings, and clinical findings will be assessed. Furthermore, quality of life will be assessed using QOL-PCD, a disease specific questionnaire.

📋 Eligibility Criteria

Description

    Inclusion Criteria:

    • * PCD diagnosis with confirmation of 2 identified pathogenic genetic variants within 1 of the following ultrastructure variants:
    • * DNAI1 ODA defect
    • * Other ODA defect
    • * IDA - MTD defect
    • * RS defect
    • * Informed consent

    Exclusion Criteria:

    • * Are a current smoker (e-cigarette, tobacco, or marijuana)
    • * Are a former smoker who discontinued smoking \<1 year prior to enrollment or has a cumulative 1+ pack-year smoking history
    • * Have a recent stable forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) \<35% predicted
    • * Have contraindications for MRI studies (implanted devices/materials; inability to tolerate; claustrophobia or severe anxiety that would preclude MRI/imaging)
    • * Have had a significant clinical radiation exposure (as determined by the investigator) within the past 6 months. Potential participants who have had a chest CT within the past 6 months may be eligible to be enrolled and their clinical CT will be utilized as the baseline for this study
    • * Are pregnant or breastfeeding
    • * Have any comorbidities likely to impact lung function (e.g., complex congenital heart disease, severe scoliosis, diseases involving immune dysregulation, lung transplantation, lung lobectomy, end-stage renal disease, or poor overall health status).
Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 60 Years (ADULT)
