The EPIC Observational Study
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00676169
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to better define risk factors preceding first isolation of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) from respiratory cultures in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease
and to better define clinical outcomes associated with acquisition of Pa. This study will
also collect and bank DNA samples for current and future studies designed to enhance the
understanding of the pathogenesis of CF.
Official Title
Longitudinal Assessment of Risk Factors For and Impact of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Acquisition and Early Anti-Pseudomonal Treatment in Children With CF

Conference: (i) sweat chloride > 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis;
or (ii) genotype with two identifiable mutations consistent with CF; or (iii) an
abnormal nasal transepithelial potential difference, and (iv) one or more clinical
features consistent with CF.
- No prior isolation of Pa from respiratory cultures (1 or more cultures in 24 months
prior to enrollment), or, if prior isolation of Pa from respiratory cultures, at least
