About this study

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the resting energy expenditure using respiratory calorimetry in infants and children with moderate to severe cystic fibrosis versus age matched healthy controls.

II. Determine the total energy expenditure and energy spent on physical activity using the doubly labeled water method in these patient populations.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients and healthy controls receive an oral dose of doubly labeled water following initial urine collection on day 1. Patients undergo additional urine collection at 4-6 hours following doubly labeled water consumption and then daily for 7 days.

Additionally, at the beginning of the study, patients and healthy controls undergo respiratory calorimetry over approximately 45 minutes at rest, starting approximately 2-3 hours after the last meal consumption and last use of aerosol bronchodilators (if required).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
