About this study

Respiratory und intestinal microbiome will bei analyzed during a period of 6 months. In a retrospective analysis it will be looked for correlations between microbiome and cf therapy (e.g. inhaled and systemic antibiotics, cftr modifiers, proton pump Inhibitors, enzymes, nutritional habits), clinical status and self reported outcome.

Read the detailed description

DNA will be isolated from sputum, throat swabs and stool samples and used for the generation of microbial profiles. Both bacterial and fungal profiles will be analyzed by next generation sequencing.

Clinical outcome parameters (lung function test, weight, calprotectin, elastase, blood parameters, self reported outcome) will be recorded and analyzed along with medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Kiel at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2017. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ingrid CF Bobis, MD (+49-1578-8209311, ingrid.bobis@uksh.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

respiratory microbiome (time frame: 24 weeks). 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?
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 17 Nov 2017.
