  • Child, Adult

Study population: Children and Adolescents ages 6-25, without diabetes. Out of 160 people, 45 will be healthy controls, 45 with Cystic Fibrosis (normal glucose tolerance), and 70 with Cystic Fibrosis-related diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy controls (n=45) -
  • Age 10-25 years
  • BMI <85th percentile
  • Baseline health at enrollment
  • CF controls (n=45) -
  • Age 10-25 years
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (by newborn screen, sweat chloride testing, or genetic testing)

About this study

Official title: Characterization of Glucose Variability by Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Non-diabetic Youth With and Without Cystic Fibrosis

Current guidelines on the diagnoses and management of cystic fibrosis (CF) related diabetes recommend treatment for diabetes based on diagnostic criteria derived from adults with type 2 diabetes. Increasing evidence supports treating early glucose abnormalities in cystic fibrosis patients to target CF specific outcomes, including lung function and nutrition (BMI-Body Mass Index). However, the criteria and timing of when to start insulin therapy in the 'prediabetic' state are unclear. A more accurate characterization of blood sugar variability in youth with and without CF will help the investigators better interpret continuous glucose monitor (CGM) findings in patients with CF prediabetes and diabetes and more accurately identify those individuals at greatest risk for disease progression.

    Measures of glucose variability on CGM

    Measured: 7 days

  2. The percentage of time spent > 200 mg/dl on CGM

    Measures of glucose variability on CGM

    Measured: 7 days

  3. The percentage of time spent < 70 mg/dl on CGM

    Measures of glucose variability on CGM

    Measured: 7 days

  4. The percentage of time spent < 60 mg/dl on CGM

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 13 inclusion and 12 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 22 Mar 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 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?

The percentage of time spent > 140 mg/dl on CGM (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT02211235, which also lists 3 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 22 Mar 2023.
