About this study

The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different exercise interventions in a patient-centered, home-based exercise program for improving cardiorespiratory-fitness in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). We hypothesize cystic fibrosis patients participating in a high intensity interval training (HIIT) group will experience greater improvements in cardiorespiratory-fitness than those in a moderate continuous training (MCT) group. Further, we plan to investigate the efficacy of the comparators on patient-centered outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized control trial that compares MCT to HIIT using a patient-centered and home-based delivery model with CF Care Centers in the United States. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an MCT or HIIT arm. Both the MCT and HIIT interventions are accepted forms of prescribed exercise in clinical practice. The interventions will be delivered with a telehealth platform using internet (HIPAA-Compliant video), phone, and email/text support. All study sites will receive initial and on-going training and program facilitation to assure consistency of delivering the intervention. All participants across both arms visit their respective CF clinics on a regular basis for routine CF care. Thus, our research team will be able to coordinate all testing/assessment visits, including long-term (18-month timepoint), with participants throughout the study. The primary and secondary outcomes include important patient-centered outcomes as selected by our study's CF Patient and Stakeholder Advisory Board.

What is being measured

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

  1. Aerobic Exercise Capacity - V02max

    anaerobic threshold (V02max) measured via Sub-maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET)

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pulmonary function testing

    Standardized testing to measure forced expiratory volume 1 sec (FEV1)

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Quality of Life measured by Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised (CFQ-R)

    cystic fibrosis questionnaire (CFQ-R) score. Standardized scores ranging from 0 to 100; higher scores indicated better health related quality of life

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 10 Oct 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 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?

Aerobic Exercise Capacity - V02max (time frame: 18 months). 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 10 Oct 2024.
