Trial summary

People with cystic fibrosis (CF) now frequently live into adulthood and with this extended life expectancy has come new clinical problems. Poor bone health, including osteoporosis and bone fractures, is one of these increasingly important conditions. Read more about this study

About this study

People with cystic fibrosis (CF) now frequently live into adulthood and with this extended life expectancy has come new clinical problems. Poor bone health, including osteoporosis and bone fractures, is one of these increasingly important conditions. Preventing the negative outcomes of poor bone health in later life is primarily related to ensuring optimal growth (weight and height) and obtaining maximal amount of bone mass during growth and development. This study will identify factors that influence bone health in a sample of children, adolescents and young adults as measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and new bone densitometry methods (peripheral quantitative computerized tomography [p-QCT] and bone sonometer). We will also identify factors which influence changes in bone status over a 12-month follow-up period in a subsample of people with CF.

Read the detailed description

A total of 100 subjects with CF and pancreatic insufficiency (8-25 y, half female) will be recruited from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Delaware Valley region. All subjects will have baseline measurements obtained at the Nutrition and Growth Lab at CHOP. A subset of subjects will return for 12-month follow-up measurements.

We will evaluate the influences on bone health, including: gender, stage of pubertal development, body weight and height, food intake (especially calcium and vitamin D), use of steroid medications by mouth, IV administration or inhalation, physical activity and lung health. We will also follow the changes in bone health and growth over 12 months, and see what factors are associated with good and poor bone development.

In addition, the information from this study will be very important to planning the future trials of medication and other interventions to treat and, hopefully, to prevent poor bone health in people with CF.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.
