May 17, 2018 updated by: Jose C. Florez, MD, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital

A Study of the Effect of Combination Lumacaftor and Ivacaftor on Markers of Hyperglycemia in Persons With Cystic Fibrosis

The purpose of this research study is to find out if the combined therapy lumacaftor-ivacaftor affects glycemia in patient with cystic fibrosis.

Status

Terminated

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

This is a single center, open label study. Patients will have 1 visits at the Diabetes Research Center (DRC), or Clinical Research Center (CRC).

The participants will have been previously screened to make sure they are candidates for the study. These patients will be contacted prior to their first visit to discuss enrollment in the study.

At the study visit the participant will come to the CRC or DRC for a research visit. The following will occur at this study visit: informed consent; brief medical history; weight and height; vital signs and blood pressure; blood draw for DNA extraction, A1c and an extra research tube for storage. This will be scheduled at a time that is convenient to the patient.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C)
Time Frame: 1 year
A blood test will be used to determine the hemoglobin A1c change while on the medication.
1 year
Change in units of insulin used over a period of 6 months to 1 year.
Time Frame: 1 year
Using chart review, the change in insulin units used per day will be calculated
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in glycemia contingent on genetic risk score
Time Frame: 1 year
The investigators will examine how change in glycemia is dependent on genotype at variants associated with type 2 diabetes and insulin secretion using genetic risk scores.
1 year
Pulmonary function test (PFT) forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) measurements
Time Frame: 1 year
The investigators will compare how PFT measurement of FEV1 are related to changes in glycemia
1 year
