About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Docosahexanoic Acid on Lipid Peroxidation in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis

Patients with Cystic Fibrosis have increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant systems. Under certain conditions, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake may have a favorable role in reducing redox status.

In this randomized, double-blind, cross-over study, DHA (Pro-Mind) and placebo (sunflower oil) capsules, will be given, daily to 10 patients, 5 mg/kg for 2 weeks then 10 mg/kg for the next 2 weeks. Biomarkers of lipid peroxidation and vitamin E levels will be measured. Plasma and platelet lipid compositions will be determined.

Study groups in NCT02690857
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Docosahexaenoic acidExperimentalEach capsule of DHA contains 100 mg DHA in triglycerides from algal oil, 0.125 mg alpha-tocopherol and 0.125 mg ascorbic acid. Subjects receive an orally and daily ingestion of DHA capsules (5mg/kg for 15 days followed by 10 mg/kg for another 15 days without interruption between the 2 periods).
Receives: Drug: Docosahexaenoic acid
Sunflower oilPlacebo comparatorPlacebo capsules contain the same quantities of antioxidants and triglycerides of sunflower oil. Subjects receive an orally and daily ingestion of placebo capsules for 28 days.
Receives: Drug: Sunflower Oil

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in 8-isoprostane level in urine.

    Measured by urinalysis (Immunoassay).

    Measured: Day 14

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 in urine.

    Measured by urinalysis (Immunoassay).

    Measured: Day 28

  2. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Measured by vital signs

    Measured: Day 28

  3. Change in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second

    Spirometry

    Measured: from baseline through Day 28

  4. Evaluation of the effect of DHA on specific biomarkers.

    Gas chromatography, immunoassays, fluorimetry. (in plasma : lipids, vitamin E and in platelet : lipids, vitamin E, thromboxane B2, malondialdehyde).

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docosahexaenoic acid and Sunflower Oil in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 6 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.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change in 8-isoprostane level in urine. (time frame: Day 14). 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 NCT02690857, 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; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
