Evaluation of the Bone Mineralization by Quantitative Computed Tomodensitometry in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis : Validation Study

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative study for the study of bone mineralization evaluated with Quantitative computed tomodensitometry (QCT) compared to the reference technique, Dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with cystic fibrosis can have a deficit in bone mineralization. This is particularly well described in adults. However, in the pediatric population the results are more heterogeneous. The evaluation is hindered by difficulties in standardization of DXA interpretation.

This measurement depends from the mass and size of the bone as well as the mass of soft tissue covering the bone area. These two characteristics, intrinsic to the measurement, pose a significant problem of interpretations in children because a change in bone density may reflect both a change in bone mineral content or changes related to growth, for example, the increase in bone size or volume of soft tissue covering the bone of interest.

Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provides a direct measure of bone mineralization densitometry volume. It quantifies bone mineral content in relation to the volume of the bone, in reference to an external phantom. This method therefore overcomes the size size.

This technique can be considered without an additional radiation exposure to patients during a lung CT because it is usual that lumbar vertebrae are included in the measurement window because of pulmonary hyperinflation. This exam would be ideal for patients with Cystic fibrosis.

All patients have these two evaluations during their routine management. This study compare study on the bone mineralization evaluated by (QCT) compared to the reference technique by (DXA) for the patient affected by cystic fibrosis for each patient.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

5 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients affected by cystic fibrosis
  • Aged over 5 years
  • Patients whose clinical condition warrants an indication of chest CT in relation to the criteria of the french consensus conference on Cystic fibrosis in May 2002 (Palace of the Luxembourg).
  • Patients whose clinical condition warrants an indication of DXA examination in accordance with French recommendations (Consensus of the Working Group "bone mineralization and cystic fibrosis" In children, the examination is recommended for ages 8 every 2 years if the Z-score is greater than - 1, every year if the Z-score is less than - 1.. In adults, the exam is recommended every 5 years if the T-score is greater than> - 1, every 2 years if it is between -1 and - 2; annually if less than - 2.)
  • Patient does not exhibit a phase of bronchial exacerbation
  • Collection of non-opposition of the patient
  • Patient affiliated to social security

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient transplanted
  • Patient with an infective exacerbation phase

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
