Trial summary

Recent improvements in cystic fibrosis management have enabled an important subset of patients to maintain normal spirometry. Nevertheless, even in these patients with normal spirometry, chest computed tomography (CT) might identify structural lung abnormalities such as bronchiectasis, mucus plugging, bronchiolitis… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study on Link Between Dynamic Hyperinflation and Lung Clearance Index in Cystic Fibrosis (Étude du Lien Entre la Distension Dynamique et l'Indice de Clairance Pulmonaire Dans la Mucoviscidose)

Recent improvements in cystic fibrosis management have enabled an important subset of patients to maintain normal spirometry. Nevertheless, even in these patients with normal spirometry, chest computed tomography (CT) might identify structural lung abnormalities such as bronchiectasis, mucus plugging, bronchiolitis and air trapping.

Lung clearance index (LCI) has been shown to correlate well with structural pulmonary alterations seen on CT even in CF patients with well-preserved spirometry. In cystic fibrosis, a high LCI is associated with a worse feeling of illness assessed by the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R). School-aged CF patients with normal spirometry also have normal aerobic function as assessed by peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2) measured during symptom-limited incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test. However, the ability of LCI to predict ventilatory abnormalities appearing at exercise in CF patients has not been investigated. The investigators therefore aimed to compare physiological parameters at exercise between CF patients with elevated LCI (i.e., LCI above the upper limit of normal [ULN]) and patients with normal LCI, all with preserved spirometry.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Lung Clearance Index, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon.

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 5 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 27 Oct 2017. 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 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?

The main objective is to explore the relationship between elevated lung clearance index and dynamic hyperinflation in cystic fibrosis patients with preserved pulmonary function. (time frame: day 1). 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 27 Oct 2017.
