Trial summary

Exercise is an important clinical feature in cystic fibrosis. Better exercise capacity has been associated with better patient outcomes and quality of life. Exercise-induced bronchospasm is a condition, often associated with asthma, which may make exercise difficult. Read more about this study

About this study

Exercise is an important clinical feature in cystic fibrosis. Better exercise capacity has been associated with better patient outcomes and quality of life. Exercise-induced bronchospasm is a condition, often associated with asthma, which may make exercise difficult. The role that exercise-induced bronchospasm has in people with cystic fibrosis is unknown. This study is designed to determine how often exercise-induced bronchospasm occurs in cystic fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

We anticipate that Visit 1 will take approximately three hours. This will include obtaining informed consent, completing baseline demographic and quality of life questionnaires, brief physical exam, measuring exhaled nitric oxide level, skin allergy testing, obtaining blood and sputum samples, and performing pulmonary function testing before and after bronchodilators.

Visit 2 will take approximately two and one-half hours. This will include performing Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperventilation, measuring exhaled nitric oxide levels, and obtaining blood and sputum samples.

Visit 3 will take approximately two and one-half hours. This will include performing Cardiopulmonary exercise testing followed by serial spirometry, measuring exhaled nitric oxide levels, and obtaining blood and sputum samples.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the prevalence of exercise-induced bronchospasm in a cohort of adolescent and adult patients with cystic fibrosis

    Measured: end of study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the prevalence of exercise-induced bronchospasm in those CF patients with evidence of allergic inflammation versus those without allergic inflammation.

    Measured: end of study

  2. To determine the difference in exhaled nitric oxide and other surrogate markers of inflammation, as well as self-reported quality-of-life and symptom scores in CF patients with and without exercise-induced bronchospasm.

    Measured: end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchospasm, run by Ohio State University 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 11 inclusion and 7 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 19 Nov 2013. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the prevalence of exercise-induced bronchospasm in a cohort of adolescent and adult patients with cystic fibrosis (time frame: end of study). 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 NCT00806455, 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 19 Nov 2013.
