About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between diets of children with cystic fibrosis and glycemic responses and some inflammatory markers.

Read the detailed description

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease; thick, sticky mucus accumulates in the mucin-secreting organs due to the absence or dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regülatör (CFTR) protein. The most commonly affected organ is the lung and the respiratory system disorder is the leading cause of death in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Pancreatic insufficiency is also a frequent complication in this patient group in older ages and significantly reduces life expectancy. It is argued that growth and development are adversely affected even in the stages before pancreatic insufficiency occurs. The challenges in the treatment of CFRD include dealing with increased caloric requirements for people with CF, resulting in high carbohydrate intake and frequent snacking, which exacerbates hyperglycemia. This situation causes difficulty in providing glycemic control in patients. In addition, decreased insulin secretion, as well as increased insulin resistance, delay the response to dietary glucose. This leads to an excursion of blood glucose and impaired respiratory function during the day. In addition, increased inflammation exacerbates pancreatic damage. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the diets of children with cystic fibrosis and glycemic responses and some inflammatory markers. In this study, general information and anthropometric measurements of patients with cystic fibrosis aged 6-18 will be recorded and their growth and development will be evaluated. With the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) of the participants, the times (at least three, maximum fourteen days) when the blood glucose is below and above the target, the time in the target interval, and glucose fluctuations will be monitored. During the days of monitoring, total energy, macro-micronutrients intakes, glycemic index, and load will be calculated by asking individuals to keep a record of food consumption. The data obtained from the study will be evaluated with the SPSS package program using appropriate statistical analysis.

Children with cystic fibrosisVoluntary children with cystic fibrosis aged 6-18 years with normal glucose tolerance will be included in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary function test

    FEV1% (forced expiratory volume at one second) out of the lung function testing [ Time Frame: Within 3 months of the 7 day course of CGMS ]

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Distance of shuttle walk test

    Distance of shuttle walk test will be walked by children with cystic fibrosis. Shuttle walk test is made on floor with ten meters distance. Speed is determined according to signals from CD player.

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Oral glucose tolerance test

    The glucose values given in mmol/l after 30', 60', 90' and 120 minutes during OGTT.

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Continuous glucose monitoring system (Percentage of time spent above 8mmol/l)

    Percentage of time spent above 8mmol/l. These measurement will be gained out of the 14 day CGMS-course

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Continuous glucose monitoring system (The area under the curve)

    The area under the curve. These measurements will be gained out of the 14 day CGMS-course

    Measured: 14 days

  6. Continuous glucose monitoring system (The mean glucose value (in mmol/l))

    The mean glucose value (in mmol/l). These measurements will be gained out of the 14 day CGMS-course

    Measured: 14 days

  7. Weight in kilograms

    Children's growth and development will be evaluated according to WHO's percentile scores.

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Height in meters

    Children's growth and development will be evaluated according to WHO's percentile scores.

    Measured: 30 days

  9. Food record for three days

    The food consumed by the children will be recorded for 3 days (on the days when the CGMS is installed).

    Measured: 3 days

  10. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP)

    Participants' serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

  11. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA)

    Participants' serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

  12. Serum Interleukin-1-beta (IL-1B)

    Participants' serum Interleukin-1-beta (IL-1B) levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

  13. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a)

    Participants' serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

  14. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6)

    Participants' serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

  15. Serum interferon-gamma

    Participants' serum interferon-gamma levels will be determined.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Glucose Metabolism Disorders, run by büşra başpınar at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulmonary function test (time frame: 90 days). The study lists 15 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 21 Jul 2023.
