About this study

To recruit 150 adult patients with cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) without fasting hyperglycemia for a multi-center, twelve month, placebo-controlled intervention trial testing the ability of insulin or repaglinide to improve body mass index (BMI) and stabilize pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this research is to determine whether treatment with either insulin or an oral diabetes agent that increases endogenous insulin secretion will improve BMI and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis patients who have diabetes without fasting hyperglycemia.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin Asparte and Repaglinide in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes Mellitus, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective of this research is to determine whether treatment with either insulin or an oral diabetes agent that increases endogenous insulin secretion will improve BMI and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis patients who have diabetes (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00072904, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Feb 2012.
