Ivacaftor (Kalydeco) and Insulin in Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

December 12, 2018 updated by: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Effects of Ivacaftor (Kalydeco) Treatment Upon Insulin and Incretin Secretion in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

This study is aimed at better understanding the impact of ivacaftor upon insulin and incretin secretion and glucose tolerance in patients with Cystic Fibrosis with a glycine (G551D) mutation. Investigators hypothesize that treatment with ivacaftor improves insulin secretion in individuals with CF.

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.

Detailed Description

Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD) is associated with worse nutritional status, greater pulmonary function decline, and increased mortality, highlighting its relevance in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CFRD arises primarily from compromised insulin secretion - traditionally considered a by-product of pancreatic exocrine tissue damage and fibrosis. Recent developments in the field of diabetes are propelling a re-examination of this basic explanation. The impact of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiator, ivacaftor, upon insulin secretion and glucose regulation has not been examined, but improved glucose tolerance has been appreciated anecdotally. This study aims to understand the impact of ivacaftor therapy upon blood glucose and insulin and incretin secretion.

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

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

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.

  • 6 yrs or older with cystic fibrosis
  • at least one G551D CFTR mutation or other non-G551D gating mutation, or residual function CFTR mutation such as, but not limited to, R117H mutation, for which ivacaftor is to be initiated.
  • Plan to initiate ivacaftor treatment for FDA approved indications by clinical care team or as part of an ongoing study of ivacaftor for other CFTR mutations, including gating mutations, or residual function mutations.

  • abnormal renal function within 90 days of GPA test or at Screening
  • long-standing CFRD with fasting hyperglycemia, elevated HbA1C (>8) beyond time surrounding diagnosis of CFRD, significant basal insulin requirement
  • inability to perform study specific procedures (MMTT, GPA).

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline in insulin secretion capacity at 16 weeks
Time Frame: baseline and 16 weeks
To compare insulin secretion and maximal insulin secretory capacity prior to initiation of ivacaftor and after 16 weeks of ivacaftor treatment in subjects with CF and at least one G551D CFTR mutation, or other CFTR gating mutation, and to explore the impact of ivacaftor upon incretin secretion, incretin regulation of insulin secretion, and glucose excursion during a mixed meal tolerance test in CF.
baseline and 16 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite change from baseline in relationships of insulin secretion and protein and interleukin levels at 16 weeks
Time Frame: baseline and 16 weeks
To explore the composite relationships of insulin secretion, maximal insulin secretory capacity, and incretin secretion with secreted frizzled protein-4 levels and interleukin 1β levels.
baseline and 16 weeks

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 6, 2014

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
