Trial summary

Patients with cystic fibrosis are at risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) potentially leading to pathological fractures at adult age. Recent data from our center and others have suggested that low BMD could be observed very early in life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Bone Microarchitecture in a Young Cystic Fibrosis Patients Using High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography

Patients with cystic fibrosis are at risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) potentially leading to pathological fractures at adult age. Recent data from our center and others have suggested that low BMD could be observed very early in life. However, quantitative bone abnormalities found out by Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) need to be confronted to qualitative evaluation of bone microarchitecture (surrogate of bone strength).

High-Resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a recent technology with very high spatial resolution. Images obtained with this technic are considered as virtual bone biopsies. It enables an accurate bones' cortical and trabecular surfaces exploration in a three-dimensional manner, and therefore provides informations on bone microarchitecture as well as bone density.

The aim of this study is to evaluate bone microarchitecture of paediatric patients matched to sex-age-pubertal status-healthy volunteers. In the meantime, biological markers will be collected and DXA (Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) will be performed in order to explore potential correlations HR-pQCT parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Tibial Bone Mass Density measured by High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography

    Measured: at the inclusion visit J0

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. total radial bone mass density

    Measured: at the inclusion visit J0

  2. Trabecular bone micro-architecture at tibia and radial sites

    Measured: at the inclusion visit J0

  3. Biological markers : 1) bone markers : parathyroid hormone (PTH), Calcifediol (25(OH)D3), osteocalcin, Endocrinal markers : IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor ), IGFBP-3, leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, resistin

    Measured: at the inclusion visit J0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing scan examination HR-pQCT in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 28 May 2019. 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 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. 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?

Total Tibial Bone Mass Density measured by High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (time frame: at the inclusion visit J0). 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 NCT01788267, 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 May 2019.
