What is being measured

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

  1. Simpson Diversity Index

    The primary estimate in our study is the mean effects of Continuous Alternating Therapy compared to Cyclic therapy on Simpson Diversity Index (SDI) averaged at month 6

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bacterial Relative Abundance

    Using 454 pyrosequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) techniques, the relative abundance of various bacterial genera will be determined.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 12 Mar 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient enrollment). 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?

Simpson Diversity Index (time frame: 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 NCT02113397, 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 12 Mar 2018.
