About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Bone Mineralization by Quantitative Computed Tomodensitometry in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis : Validation Study

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative study for the study of bone mineralization evaluated with Quantitative computed tomodensitometry (QCT) compared to the reference technique, Dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Read the detailed description

Patients with cystic fibrosis can have a deficit in bone mineralization. This is particularly well described in adults. However, in the pediatric population the results are more heterogeneous. The evaluation is hindered by difficulties in standardization of DXA interpretation.

This measurement depends from the mass and size of the bone as well as the mass of soft tissue covering the bone area. These two characteristics, intrinsic to the measurement, pose a significant problem of interpretations in children because a change in bone density may reflect both a change in bone mineral content or changes related to growth, for example, the increase in bone size or volume of soft tissue covering the bone of interest.

Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provides a direct measure of bone mineralization densitometry volume. It quantifies bone mineral content in relation to the volume of the bone, in reference to an external phantom. This method therefore overcomes the size size.

This technique can be considered without an additional radiation exposure to patients during a lung CT because it is usual that lumbar vertebrae are included in the measurement window because of pulmonary hyperinflation. This exam would be ideal for patients with Cystic fibrosis.

All patients have these two evaluations during their routine management. This study compare study on the bone mineralization evaluated by (QCT) compared to the reference technique by (DXA) for the patient affected by cystic fibrosis for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the mineralization with DXA(Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) as a Zscore of Bone mineral density and the Zscore of QCT (Quantitative computed tomography)

    Evaluation of the mineralization with DXA(Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) as a Zscore of Bone mineral density(reference population: same sex, same bone age) and the Zscore of QCT (Quantitative computed tomography) (reference population: same sex, same age)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of the prevalence of osteopenia in children and adult affected by cystic fibrosis.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Correlation of bone mineralization with nutritional status (BMI)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Correlation of bone mineralization with respiratory status (FEV % predicted)

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Correlation of bone mineralization with Vitamine D (25(OH)vitD)

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Correlation of bone mineralization with the amount of total inhaled and oral corticosteroids administered (total number of days of steroids according to diiferent modalities: inhaled, oral IV)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing QCT and DXA in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades 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 7 inclusion and 2 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 26 Feb 2018. 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?

Evaluation of the mineralization with DXA(Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) as a Zscore of Bone mineral density and the Zscore of QCT (Quantitative computed tomography) (time frame: 1 day). 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 26 Feb 2018.
