About this study

Official title: Influence of a Residential Rehabilitation Program on Body Composition in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (children and Adults)

The aim is to evaluate the impact of a 3-week lasting residential rehabilitation program for patients with cystic fibrosis on their nutritional status measured as BMI and body composition and pulmonary function.

Read the detailed description

Cystic fibrosis Patients following a residential rehabilitation program consisting of dietary adaptation, physical therapy for airway drainage and supervised inhalation therapy and physical activity for at least 3 weeks are asked to participate. Weight, height, body composition and pulmonary function will be measured at start and end of the program. Dietary intake during the program is calculated based on a 2 day weighed intake diary and physical activity will be measured with the "SenseWear pro 3" armband.

What participants receive

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

  • RehabilitationOther

    During the rehabilitation program a multidisciplinary team, consisting of a pneumologist, dietician, psychologist, social worker and several physiotherapists, coach the cystic fibrosis patients.

    The physiotherapists help with autogenic drainage and aerosol therapy (2-3 times/day) and supervise physical activity (5, 1-hour lasting, training sessions/week: swimming 2, Fitness training 2, 1 session of choice). The dietician calculates basal and theoretical energy needs . A carbohydrate-rich snack before exercise, to improve exercise tolerance and a carbohydrate-protein-rich snack afterwards to improve recuperation is provided.

What is being measured

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

  1. body composition change

    Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measured Fat mass index (kg/m*2)

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

  2. body composition change

    Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measured fat free mass (kg/m*2)

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

  3. Body mass index change

    calculated based on weight and height (kg/m*2) converted in standard deviations

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

  4. Weight change

    Scale weighed weight (kg) converted in standard deviations of normal population of normal populations

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

  5. pulmonary function change

    forced expiratory volume in 1 second (% of normal)

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

  6. pulmonary function change

    Forced Vital capacity (% of normal)

    Measured: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Physical activity

    "SenseWear pro 3" armband measured physical activity

    Measured: Week 1

  2. dietary intake

    macronutrient intake measured based on 2 days/week weighed nutritional intake

    Measured: 2 days/week for 3 consecutive weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by University Hospital, Ghent 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: number included). 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?

body composition change (time frame: day 0 and day 21 (start and end of the rehabilitation program)). The study lists 6 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 19 Sep 2024.
