Trial summary

In nearly 25% of children under 3 months, the sweat test produces a quantity of sweat that does not meet international recommendations and is insufficient to allow reliable and reproducible biological analyzes in the sweat collected. Read more about this study

About this study

In nearly 25% of children under 3 months, the sweat test produces a quantity of sweat that does not meet international recommendations and is insufficient to allow reliable and reproducible biological analyzes in the sweat collected. In children between 3 and 12 months, this rate is about 10% when it should not exceed 5%. Insufficient amount of sweat prevents confirmation or reversal of the early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and early treatment before irreversible complications of the disease.

In this trial, a new support of sweat collection (Macroduct® Advanced Model 3710 Sweat Collection System, Wescor) will be tested with the goal to increase the amount of sweat collected during the sweat test, in comparison with the clinical routine method.

What participants receive

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

  • Macroduct® Advanced Model 3710 SYS, WescorDevice

    for each subject, both methods will be tested in order to compare the efficacy of the new sweat collection method (Macroduct® Advanced Model 3710 SYS, Wescor) to the method currently used in clinical routine.

What is being measured

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

  1. chloride concentration

    The volume and the chloride concentration will be analyzed for each subject.

    Measured: day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sweat

    sweat collected with sweat collection method (Macroduct® Advanced) Model 3710 SYS, Wescor) compared with that currently used in clinical routine.

    The effectiveness criterion of the new Macroduct Advanced collector will be defined as follows: the new device tested will be considered effective if the insufficient amount of sweat levels obtained are smaller or equal to those recommended, i.e. if it is lower than 10% in children under 3 months and below 5% in children between 3 and 12 months.

    The insufficient amount of sweat rates will be compared between the two methods.

    Measured: day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macroduct® Advanced Model 3710 SYS, Wescor in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2021. 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 Belgium. 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 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?

chloride concentration (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 24 Mar 2021.
