About this study

The aim of this study is to assess whether the 1 minute Sit to Stand (STS) test can be used as a measure of submaximal endurance during a pulmonary exacerbation of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) for patients in the acute care setting. We hypothesize that if the STS test is a valid measure of submaximal cardiovascular endurance, it will moderately correlate with 6 minute walk distance (6MWD).

What is being measured

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

  1. 1-minute STS repetitions:

    Number of STS completed

    Measured: 1 minute

  2. 1 minute STS power:

    number of STS completed in 1 minute multiplied by bodyweight in pounds

    Measured: 1 minute

  3. 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD):

    total distance in feet completed during test

    Measured: 6 minutes

  4. 6MWT power

    total distance in feet multiplied by bodyweight in pounds

    Measured: 6 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Heart rate

    beats per minute

    Measured: 1 minute

  2. Oxygen saturation

    percentage via pulse oximetry

    Measured: 1-6 minutes

  3. Respiratory rate

    breaths per minute

    Measured: 1-6 min

  4. Rating of perceived exertion

    rating via Borg scale for perceived exertion: 0-10 with 0 being no breathlessness and 10 being maximal breathlessness

    Measured: 6 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sit to stand test in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Boston Children's Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

1-minute STS repetitions: (time frame: 1 minute). 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 NCT04058548, which also lists 5 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.
