  Purpose

It is hypothesized that the inhalation of sodium pyruvate will reduce lung damage in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) by its ability to reduce levels of toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen compounds associated with the chronic inflammatory component of the disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of inhaled sodium pyruvate in 0.9% sodium chloride (saline) solution in people with CF. Further, to determine whether inhaled sodium pyruvate will improve lung function, as determined by spirometry, or reduced inflammatory markers in induced sputum of people with CF.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary outcome variable is the assessment of safety of inhaled sodium pyruvate in subjects with CF.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The secondary outcome variable is the determination of improvement in lungs of CF subjects as determined by measurement of FEV1 and/or as determined by measurement of reduced inflammatory markers in induced sputum.
