About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Primary Human Nasal Epithelial Cell Culture Model in the Context of Personalized Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis

characterization of CFTR function and expression in nasal primary cells collected from patients with cystic fibrosis in comparison to their parents, healthy heterozygotes and healthy controls

Read the detailed description

3 groups of subjects are enrolled CF subjects according to their genotypes (aiming to enroll patients carrying 2 CF causing mutations with no CFTR expression/function, and patients carrying at least 1 mutation with residual function, such R117H) Parents or siblings of the CF subjects, as healthy hétérozygotes healthy controls All these subjects experience nasal brushings. From these nasal brushings,nasal cells are expanded, and cultured in air liquid interface to obtain polarized epithelium. This epithelium is then studied in Ussing chamber experiments to characterize the level of cAMP dependant Chloride transport and Sodium reabsorption. Apical expression of CFTR is assessed by immunofluorescence.

Results will allow to define the variability of CFTR function and expression criteria in subjects with the same genotype. Such data are crucial for interpretation of the effect of CFTR modulators.

What is being measured

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

  1. variation in the short-circuit-current (Isc) after Forskolin (Forskolin)/IBMx and VX-770 (∆IscFsk/IBMx+VX-770)

    The short-circuit-current (Isc) was measured under voltage clamp conditions. Inhibitors and activators were added after stabilization of baseline Isc. The sum of the change after Forskolin (Forskolin)/IBMx and VX-770 (∆IscFsk/IBMx+VX-770) served as an index of CFTR function.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. percentage of cells displaying apical staining

    CFTR immuno-detection was performed as previously described 31. Apical CFTR staining was assessed semi quantitatively as the percentage of cells displaying apical staining multiplied by the average corrected apical fluorescence 32.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France.

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 1 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 12 Mar 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. 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?

variation in the short-circuit-current (Isc) after Forskolin (Forskolin)/IBMx and VX-770 (∆IscFsk/IBMx+VX-770) (time frame: 1 day). 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 12 Mar 2019.
