Development of Diabetes in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis (CF) (CF-DIABETES)

August 21, 2018 updated by: Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Factors Responsible for the Development of Diabetes in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis

This is a crossover study to determine the possible factors that might be related to the development of diabetes in CF and examines the relationship between pancreatic fatigue if any, and the development of diabetes. In addition hormones affecting the release of insulin and stomach motility will be studied to determine if there is a variation in response to solid and liquid meals and if this variation increases as fatigue progresses.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

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

The main purpose of this study is to look at possible additional factors that might be related to the development of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD), that in itself is a unique entity and to identify an appropriate test to diagnose CFRD. There is well demonstrated evidence of delayed insulin release and peak in individuals with CF, the cause of which is not fully explained.

With a view to determine the cause of this phenomenon the aims of this study are:

  1. To determine whether pancreatic fatigue contributes to this delayed insulin release and peak that is seen in patients with cystic fibrosis.
  2. Should a glucose tolerance test be done at a later time in the day, as against first thing in the morning as is the current accepted standard?
  3. To determine if gastric emptying has a role to play in the development of CFRD?
  4. To study the hormone release response to a glucose challenge and the patterns of change through the day.
  5. To study the relationship of these hormones to gastric emptying and the development of diabetes.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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

18 years to 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

In order to participate in the study, the CF group must meet all the following inclusion criteria

  1. Male or female with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis defined by

    1. Clinical features consistent with a diagnosis of CF AND
    2. Sweat chloride ≥60mmol/L by pilocarpine ionotophoresis; OR
    3. Genotypic confirmation of CFTR mutation
  2. Aged 18 - 50 years
  3. Out-patients from the regional adult unit in Liverpool
  4. Currently not known to be diabetic or on insulin
  5. Clinically stable over the preceding 4 weeks i.e. no indication for iv antibiotics, steroids or hospital admissions
  6. Hemoglobin value >10g/dl

The inclusion criteria for the normal population group is as follows:

  1. Male or female with NO confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis
  2. Aged 18 - 50 years
  3. Currently not known to be diabetic or on insulin
  4. Clinically stable over the preceding 4 weeks i.e. no indication for iv antibiotics, steroids or hospital admissions
  5. Hemoglobin value >10g/dl

In order to participate subjects must not meet any of the following exclusion criteria

  1. Patients with known diabetes or on glucose lowering medications (insulin, oral agents)
  2. On-going acute illness
  3. Those on long-term oral steroids
  4. Pregnant women
  5. Those on immunosuppressive treatment
  6. History of, or planned organ transplant
  7. Clinically significant abnormal findings on haematology or clinical chemistry
  8. Subjects with documented or suspected, clinically significant, alcohol or drug abuse. The determination of clinical significance will be determined by the investigator.
  9. Current malignant disease
  10. Any serious or active medical or psychiatric illness, which in eth opinion of the investigator, would interfere with subject treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol.
