Trial summary

Background : Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are prone to recurrent pulmonary infection have different secreted mucin pattern from healthy subjects. Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown to influence survival and MUC5B expression in mice model of chronic pulmonary infection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids n-3 on Nasal Mucins Expression in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Background :

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are prone to recurrent pulmonary infection have different secreted mucin pattern from healthy subjects. Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown to influence survival and MUC5B expression in mice model of chronic pulmonary infection.

Method :

To study the impact of LCPUFA n-3 on MUC5B expression (mRNA level by RT-PCR) collected in airway epithelial cells obtained by nasal brushing. The secondary aim is to assess : MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC7 expression (mRNA level) in airway epithelial cells obtained by nasal brushing; Lund-Kennedy score; TNK-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 in blood plasma. This study is a double parallel, controlled double blind, randomized clinical trial : LCPUFA n-3 (1 g/day) vs placebo for 6 weeks. 30 subjects will be included in this study. Primary and secondary study end point will be assessed two times: before randomization and after 60 days of treatment.

Statistical analysis :

Treatment group and placebo will be compared using U-Mann-Whitney, intention to treat and per protocol.

Primary Outcome Measure : Mucin MUC5B (mRNA level) in native airway epithelial cells obtained by nasal brushing

Secondary Outcome Measures : Mucin MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC7 (mRNA level) in native airway epithelial cells obtained by nasal brushing.

Lund-Kennedy score TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8 in plasma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3 in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Dietary Modification, run by University Hospital, Lille at 3 sites in France.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Expression of Mucin "MUC5B" by measurement of messenger Ribo Nucleic Acid (mRNA) level in native airway epithelial cells obtained by nasal brushing (time frame: baseline and 2 months). 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 22 Dec 2017.
