About this study

Official title: Effects of a Remotely Supervised Exercise Program on Inflammatory Markers, Muscle Strength and Lung Function in Adult Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by abnormal chloride transport in epithelial tissues. Inflammation is a key component contributing to the main alterations induced by the disease. The increase in life expectancy comes with a higher prevalence of CF-related comorbidities, but also with new emerging complications directly related to aging. Physical fitness and exercise practice have been previously associated to survival and better quality of life in patients with cystic fibrosis. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of a remotely supervised resistance exercise program on lung function, muscle strength, body composition, quality of life and inflammatory markers in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

What participants receive

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

  • ExerciseOther

    Eight-week program of a remotely supervised resistance exercise. Frequency: three times per week. Duration: 60 minutes per session. Training program: warm-up and joint mobility; strength exercises for different muscle groups; and cool down (stretching and breathing exercises).

Study groups in NCT05173194
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Telematic ExerciseExperimentalA remotely supervised resistance exercise program will be carried out for 8 weeks, with three weekly sessions lasting approximately 60 minutes each. Training will be performed in groups of four patients, according to their lung function/physical fitness. The first training session will be on site (University) for familiarization, planning and adjustment of the exercises, and the following sessions will be performed online. Each session is divided into: (i) Warm-up and joint mobility; (ii) main part: strength exercises for different muscle groups; and (iii) cool down: stretching and breathing exercises.
Receives: Other: Exercise
ControlNo interventionControl group will follow routine recommendations from the multidisciplinary CF team.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in peripheral muscle strength. Upper and lower limb muscle strength will be evaluated using the 5 maximum repetition test in specific strength machines. Handgrip strength will be measured with a dynamometer.

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  2. Change in body composition (muscle mass and skeletal mass index - kg/m2) measured through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  3. Change in plasmatic levels of Klotho

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  4. Change in plasmatic levels of interleukins (IL-8 and IL-10)

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Pulmonary Function (Lung Function)

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  2. Change in quality of life evaluated using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ-R +14). Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores corresponding to better quality of life.

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  3. Change in inspiratory muscle strength (MIP)

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

  4. Change in functional capacity (30 seconds sit-to-stand test)

    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universidad Europea de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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 5 Dec 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

Change in peripheral muscle strength. Upper and lower limb muscle strength will be evaluated using the 5 maximum repetition test in specific strength machines. Handgrip strength will be measured with a dynamometer. (time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05173194, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 5 Dec 2023.
