A Study of Lung Clearance After Hypertonic Saline Delivery Using the tPAD Device

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a single overnight, eight-hour administration of a 7% NaCl solution delivered by the Parion Sciences transnasal Pulmonary Aerosol Delivery (tPAD) device has a significant effect on mucociliary clearance in subjects with cystic fibrosis, as compared to no treatment. This study will be conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
