About this study

Official title: One-Year Glargine-Treatment Can Ameliorate Clinical Features in Cystic Fibrosis Children and Adolescents With Glucose Derangements

Glargine treatment can improve the clinical features in Cystic Fibrosis patients affected by glucose derangements

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the effect of glargine treatment on BMI, lung function, acute pulmonary infections and HbA1c in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with different glucose derangements, eighty-seven patients were screened for glucose derangements with fasting hyperglycaemia or abnormalities at the oral glucose tolerance test. They were classified on the basis of a "gluco-score" ranging 0-5. Patients with gluco-score > 1 were treated with glargine. We report on the results of the first 20 patients who completed 12 months of treatment. BMI z-score, forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), number of acute lung infections in the previous year and HbA1c were the study outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Glargine in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Glucose Metabolism Disorders, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 7 Jun 2007. 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 Italy. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Reduction of decline in pulmonary function measured as FEV1 (time frame: One year). 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 NCT00483769, 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 7 Jun 2007.
