About this study

The purpose of this study is to provide the necessary data and experience to design a larger, full scale clinical trial to determine if a certain medicine (repaglinide), which increases the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas, can improve the nutritional status and pulmonary function of adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis and prediabetes by improving blood glucose control. The investigators are also trying to determine the relationship between systemic inflammatory factors and glucose impairment.

Read the detailed description

As people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are living well into adulthood new complications are arising. CF-Related Diabetes (CFRD) has emerged as a major complication. Years prior to the diagnosis of CFRD, patients have decreasing insulin secretion, glucose intolerance, deteriorating pulmonary function, and nutritional impairment. There are no current standard recommendations for the treatment of CF patients with prediabetes, and there is little evidence that treatment of this prediabetic state in CF patients will prevent the deterioration of the lung function, nutritional status and potentially slow the progression to manifest CFRD.

To determine the feasibility of testing this hypothesis, we will perform a pilot, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial in 20 CF pancreatic insufficient patients ages of 12 to 24 years old with impaired glucose tolerance test (IGT) or CFRD without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD-No FH) and assign them to either placebo or Repaglinide 0.5 mg PO 3 - 4 times a day before meals for two years. Patients will monitor their blood glucose daily and will be followed every 3 months for 2 years to determine changes in nutritional status by BMI and DEXA, lung function tests, frequency of hospitalizations, antibiotic courses, and degree of glucose tolerance, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.

In addition, based on the evidence of increased inflammation in type 2 diabetes, correlation of systemic inflammatory response at different degrees of glucose tolerance and after treatment, will be assessed in these subjects, as well as in another 20 CF pancreatic insufficient matched patients with normal glucose tolerance who will be studied once without intervention

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • placeboDrug

    CF pancreatic insufficient patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CFRD without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD-No FH) by OGTT will be treated with placebo by taking 1 pill before each meal that contains more than 20 grams of carbohydrate 3-4 times a day for 2 years.

  • repaglinideDrug

    Also called Prandin

    CF pancreatic insufficient patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CFRD without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD-No FH) by OGTT will be treated with repaglinide 0.5 mg before each meal that contains more than 20 grams of carbohydrate 3-4 times a day for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing repaglinide in people with Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes and Pancreatic Insufficiency, run by Arbelaez, Ana Maria 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 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 5 Jun 2017. 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. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

BMI (time frame: 2 year/end of study). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 5 Jun 2017.
