Trial summary

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body. Individuals with cystic fibrosis often have poor weight gain and growth that can negatively impact health further by worsening lung function. Read more about this study

About this study

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body. Individuals with cystic fibrosis often have poor weight gain and growth that can negatively impact health further by worsening lung function. Additionally, persons with the disease typically need more than the usual calories on a daily basis.

Most institutions estimate these patients' caloric needs using weight, age, and sex based mathematical formulae. However, numerous studies show that use of these formulae often yields inaccurate caloric values. Use of indirect calorimetry may give more accurate estimates of caloric needs in patients with cystic fibrosis.

The aim of our study is to assess the accuracy of caloric estimates generated using one such widely used mathematical formula, the Harris-Benedict equation, and to compare this calorie value with that obtained from indirect calorimetry testing in pediatric and adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

Study investigators will use the newly calculated caloric requirements in dietary counseling. Changes in weight and lung function after 3 months will be compared to participants' historical changes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Daily calorie target based on resting energy expenditureOther

    Resting Energy Expenditure will be determined using the Harris-Benedict formula and indirect calorimetry testing. Additionally, a 48 Hour Dietary Recall will be completed to estimate approximate caloric intake at baseline.

    Participants will be instructed to increase their daily calorie intake based on the highest REE/caloric intake, whether by indirect calorimetry, the Harris-Benedict formula, or patient's estimated current caloric intake.

What is being measured

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

  1. Resting energy expenditure estimation

    Resting energy expenditure will be obtained using indirect calorimetry and the Harris-Benedict Equation.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Morphological variable changes

    Weight/height/BMI changes after 3 months of intervention and historical weight/height/BMI changes occurring during the 12 preceding months (reported as 3 month means).

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Changes in pulmonary function status

    Changes in pulmonary function status, including FEV1%, after 3 months of intervention and historical pulmonary function status changes occurring during the 12 preceding months (reported as 3 month means).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Daily calorie target based on resting energy expenditure in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by CAMC Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 18 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI left study institute.). 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?

Resting energy expenditure estimation (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 3 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 18 Nov 2024.
