About this study

Official title: A Study of the Effect of Combination Lumacaftor and Ivacaftor on Markers of Hyperglycemia in Persons With Cystic Fibrosis

The purpose of this research study is to find out if the combined therapy lumacaftor-ivacaftor affects glycemia in patient with cystic fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open label study. Patients will have 1 visits at the Diabetes Research Center (DRC), or Clinical Research Center (CRC).

The participants will have been previously screened to make sure they are candidates for the study. These patients will be contacted prior to their first visit to discuss enrollment in the study.

At the study visit the participant will come to the CRC or DRC for a research visit. The following will occur at this study visit: informed consent; brief medical history; weight and height; vital signs and blood pressure; blood draw for DNA extraction, A1c and an extra research tube for storage. This will be scheduled at a time that is convenient to the patient.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lumacaftor-ivacaftorExperimentalSubjects will be monitored for glycemic changes before and after starting lumacaftor-ivacaftor.
Receives: Drug: lumacaftor-ivacaftor

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C)

    A blood test will be used to determine the hemoglobin A1c change while on the medication.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Change in units of insulin used over a period of 6 months to 1 year.

    Using chart review, the change in insulin units used per day will be calculated

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in glycemia contingent on genetic risk score

    The investigators will examine how change in glycemia is dependent on genotype at variants associated with type 2 diabetes and insulin secretion using genetic risk scores.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Pulmonary function test (PFT) forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) measurements

    The investigators will compare how PFT measurement of FEV1 are related to changes in glycemia

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lumacaftor-ivacaftor in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes, run by Massachusetts General Hospital.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2018. 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. 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: We were unable to enroll eligible subjects for the study.). 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?

Change in glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02858843, 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 21 May 2018.
