About this study

Official title: Pilot Observational Study to Determine Feasibility of a Standardized Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

The goal of this research study is to better understand current treatment practices for pulmonary exacerbations (lung infections) and whether the Cystic Fibrosis National Patient Registry (CFFNPR)can be used for this type of study.

Read the detailed description

Cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disease, is marked by acute episodes during which symptoms of lung infection increase and lung function decreases. These pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) are treated with varying antibiotics for varying time periods based on needs determined by individual patients, their families, and the health care providers. Cystic fibrosis pulmonary guidelines for the treatment of PE published by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) in 2009 provided recommendations for treatment and also identified key questions for which additional studies were needed.

Standard treatment for PE involves many facets including selection of antibiotics, duration of use, and outcomes that define treatment success. Understanding current treatment practices and measures of treatment success are needed before a study can be designed to define optimal treatment strategies.

This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to prospectively follow patients with CF that are initially admitted to the hospital for treatment of a pulmonary exacerbation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of using the CFF National Patient Registry

    Assess feasibility using the CFF National Patient Registry as measured by the accuracy of data entry

    Measured: 28 days from time of start of IV antibiotic therapy.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physician and patient level clinical outcomes for their use in comparative studies of CF pulmonary exacerbations to determine the optimal treatment endpoints

    Evaluate physician assessment of treatment response as measured by the physician treatment assessment questionnaire. Evaluate change in lung function and patient reported respiratory symptoms and quality of life in response to treatment of an acute pulmonary exacerbation.

    Measured: During hospitalization and during a period following discharge of 28 days from time of start of IV antibiotic therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Lung Infection, run by University of Washington at 12 sites 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites 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?

Feasibility of using the CFF National Patient Registry (time frame: 28 days from time of start of IV antibiotic therapy.). 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 NCT02109822, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Oct 2016.
