Trial summary

After cystic fibrosis (CF) neonatal screening, some children remain with a not concluded diagnosis. In France, the medical follow-up is not standardized, some of them may be lost of follow-up. The aim of the study is to identify children at risk of developing CF. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Combating Diagnostic Wandering and Impasse for Cystic Fibrosis: Assessment of Patients Not Concluded After Neonatal Screening of Cystic Fibrosis

After cystic fibrosis (CF) neonatal screening, some children remain with a not concluded diagnosis. In France, the medical follow-up is not standardized, some of them may be lost of follow-up. The aim of the study is to identify children at risk of developing CF. Other children carry mutation at risk of CFTR related disorder (CFTR-RD) but remain asymptomatic during childhood. The aim of the study is to evaluate those children by microbiology, respiratory function test and lung imaging tests to reclassify them in the CFTR spectrum.

Read the detailed description

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic disorder related to the mutation of the CF Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. Cystic fibrosis neonatal screening in France has been generalized in 2002. Patients with hypertrypsinemia and two CF mutations are diagnosed CF and followed in CF center with standards of care.

But some children with hypertrypsinemia may have an intermediate chloride sweat test and only one CFTR mutation, or a negative sweat test and two CFTR mutations at least one of which is of unknown pathogenicity.

Some other patients may present with two CFTR-RD mutations and may unravel a monosymptomatic disease in adulthood (CFTR-related disorder) such as congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD), acute recurrent or chronic pancreatitis, disseminated bronchiectasis, chronic rhinosinusitis...We have very few data about age of onset, type of symptoms, and infraclinical disease.

Patients will be identified according to neonatal screening data and genetic database, and will undergo clinical evaluation, pancreatic and lung disease evaluation to reclassify them in the CFTR spectrum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Societe Francaise de la Mucoviscidose at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2022. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Isabelle Sermet-Gaudelus (00 33 1 44 49 48 87, isabelle.sermet@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

sputum bacteriology (time frame: previous and at inclusion). 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 16 Dec 2022.
