About this study

Official title: Identification of Dysglycemia With Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A Prospective Study to Assess the Relationship With Clinical Evolution in Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most important emerging complication after pulmonary complications. This specific form of diabetes is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. CFRD prevalence at the age of 10 is 10% and reaches 40 to 50% in adulthood, while a similar percentage is afflicted with milder dysglycemia also called pre-diabetes abnormalities.

In order to identify patients at risk and to implement early therapeutic measures, an annual CFRD screening test is recommended for CF patients after 10 years of age. The standard 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the recommended screening test. However, this test is perceived by both patients and CF care teams as unpleasant while adding a significant burden and workload, resulting in screening rates lower than 50% in most centers. An ideal alternative test should be simpler, less invasive, more sensitive than an OGTT to establish risks for lung function and/or nutritional deterioration, and predict future CFRD risk. To date, compared to the OGTT, no alternative screening method has demonstrated its effectiveness. However, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is emerging as a possible alternative method.

In patients living with CF, CGM is easy to use and can identify early dysglycemia, which in turn, can predict increased risk of accelerated decline of pulmonary function and/or weight, higher risk of pseudomonas colonization, and future risk of CFRD. However, these observations are based on studies of small sample size with very limited prospective data. Furthermore, many of the multiple CGM metrics that have been standardized are based on the risk of complications associated with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Thus, there is a need for prospective studies to identify the CGM metrics and the cut-off level that is relevant as a predictor of clinical deterioration and/or CFRD risk in CF. The identification of such CF-specific criteria would provide important information to target at-risk patients.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose an international multicenter observational study to evaluate the predictive value of CGM variables on the evolution of the clinical state in adult patients with CF.

To do this, the following will be evaluated:

  • The clinical condition of the patients over a period of 5 years (2 years before, up to 3 years after inclusion);
  • The detailed glycemic profile using a CGM system during 3 visits (on inclusion, 1 year, then 2 years after inclusion).

The primary objective is to identify which CGM variable, at inclusion in the study, is the most strongly linked to the risk of a decrease in pulmonary function of more than 2% / year measured by the FEV1% over the 5 years of follow-up of the study. The investigators will also i) investigate which CGM variables are most strongly linked to other clinical markers (ex. nutritional status, CFRD diagnosis and pulmonary exacerbations; ii) assess the association between changes in CGM variables (ex. increased number of glycemic excursions >11.0 mmol/L over 2 years) and changes in clinical status over time; and iii) evaluate the correlation between plasma glucose values during the standard routine OGTT and CGM values.

This study includes 3 visits with participants: inclusion (V1), the visit at 1 year (V2), then 2 years after inclusion (V3).

This study consists of 3 phases:

  • Phase 1: A retrospective file-based data collection, which covers 2 years before inclusion;
  • Phase 2: Prospective data collection, including the installation of a CMG 3 times over a period of 2 years, then;
  • Phase 3: An additional one-year prospective data collection on file only.

Only phase 2 includes visits for the participant. A CMG system will be installed for 14 days at inclusion (visit 1), at 1 year (visit 2) and 2 years (visit 3) during a regular routine visit and / or an annual OGTT visit. The participants' only involvement will be to wear the CMG system and return it to the research center at the end of the 14-day period. All data obtained during a routine visit will be collected directly from medical records over a period of 5 years (two years before inclusion until the final visit): pulmonary function (FEV1), nutritional status (weight and height), bronchial colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, number of exacerbations, number of intravenous antibiotic courses, number of hospitalizations, and annual OGTT results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in lung function

    The primary outcome is the mean annual rate of change in lung function (FEV1%) from 2 years before inclusion to 3 years later, for a total of 5 years of follow-up.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in body mass index

    Change in body mass index weight category from inclusion to 2 years (underweight, adequate weight, overweight).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Number of pulmonary exacerbations

    Average annual number of pulmonary exacerbations per year (validated Fuchs questionnaire), including exacerbations that are treated at home or at the hospital.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. CFRD diagnosis

    Development of new cases of CFRD diagnosed with standard OGTT and initiation of all anti-diabetic treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Canada, 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Katherine Desjardins (5149875666, katherine.desjardins@ircm.qc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in lung function (time frame: 5 years). 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 6 Nov 2024.
