Trial summary

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease with variable severity, and a predisposition for lung infection. Usually severity is determined by the class of CF mutations, but even among patients with the same severity of mutations there is a variation of the severity of CF. Read more about this study

About this study

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease with variable severity, and a predisposition for lung infection. Usually severity is determined by the class of CF mutations, but even among patients with the same severity of mutations there is a variation of the severity of CF.

Haptoglobin has several types (phenotypes), one of them was found to be related to infectious complications.

In this study the investigators aim to find a correlation between Haptoglobin phenotypes in patients with CF and frequency of infectious complications.

To this end the investigators will collect serum from CF patients, and determine their Haptoglobin protein phenotype. The investigators will correlate Haptoglobin phenotype to retrospectively gathered data on infectious complications.

Read the detailed description

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease with variable severity, and a predisposition for lung infection. The severity of the disease is determined by genetic factors (type of mutation), environmental factors (exposure to bacteria) and behavioral (adherence with therapy). Even among patients with the same severity of mutations there is a variation of the severity of CF.

Haptoglobin is a protein responsible for collecting Iron from senescent Red Blood Cells. There are two genes of Haptoglobin, numbered 1 and 2, and combinations between the two genes create three forms of proteins: 1-1, 1-2, and 2-2. The 1-1 Phenotype was found to be associated with a predisposition to infection.

In this study the investigators aim to find a correlation between Haptoglobin phenotypes in patients with CF and frequency of infectious complications.

To this end the investigators will collect serum from CF patients, and determine their Haptoglobin protein phenotype by gel- electrophoresis. The investigators will correlate Haptoglobin phenotype to retrospectively gathered data on infectious complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. FEV1

    Lung function as determined by spirometry FEV1 (% expected), normalized by age

    Measured: best in last 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of antibiotic courses per year of follow up

    number of courses of antibiotics the patient received in the last year

    Measured: one year

  2. Number of days with antibiotics per year of follow up

    number of days the patient received antibiotics

    Measured: one year

  3. Number Hospitalizations per year

    events of hospitalization

    Measured: one year

  4. Colonization with bacteria

    colonization of the following bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (mucoid and non mucoid), Staph aureus (MSSA and MRSA), Hemophilus influenza, Burkholderia Cepacia complex

    Measured: one year

  5. Presence of CF related diabetes

    presence of CF related diabetes and HbA1C for diabetic patients.

    Measured: five years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Carmel Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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 28 Jul 2016. 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 Israel. 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?

FEV1 (time frame: best in last 6 months). 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 NCT01806025, 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 Jul 2016.
