A New Optical Sweat Test Method Based on a Citric Acid-derived Multi-halide Sensor
June 20, 2022 updated by: Robert Vender, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary multi-system disease affecting approximately 30,000n children and adults in the USA.
The diagnosis of CF requires biochemical confirmation (either abnormal sweat chloride measurement and/or identification of two CF disease causing mutations) plus clinical symptomatology.
Measurements of sweat chloride remain cumbersome and although most common methodology to confirm CF diagnosis with limitations especially in young children less than 6 months of age and in areas that lack ability for the complex testing.
The study objectives of this current research proposal include: A) To expand upon previously obtained pilot study data "Evaluation of a fluorescent-based chloride sensor as an optical sweat test to diagnose cystic fibrosis" B) To add the exploratory measurement of sweat Bromide as a first in human assessment observation, C) To Evaluate the development of smartphone based point-of-care technology for chloride and bromide sensor measurements, D) To further expand the class of citrate-based sensors with improved fluorescence and sensing properties for the design of new fluorescence-based analytical and diagnostic solutions based on the automated multi-halide detection system, and E) To develop point-of-care systems that can successfully integrate into clinical settings to improve current practices and facilitate early detection of disease.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults 18 years of age or older capable of providing written informed consent AND
- Patients with an established diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) OR Healthy volunteers
Exclusion Criteria:

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Sweat chloride measurements in sweat samples via ion exchange chromatography
Time Frame: anticipated 12 months
|
Sweat specimen samples obtained via pilocarpine iontophoresis will be measured for sweat chloride.
Measurements for chloride will be determined by ion exchange chromatography measured in millimolar (mM).

Sweat chloride measurements in sweat samples via fluorescence quenching
Time Frame: anticipated 12 months
|
Sweat specimen samples obtained via pilocarpine iontophoresis will be measured for sweat chloride.
Measurements for the chloride will be determined by fluorescence citrate-based sensors, measured in millimolar (mM).

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
Yes
IPD Plan Description
No personally identifiable information will be communicated to investigators at PSU-University Park.
Sweat samples will be identified solely by code which code will be linked to personally identifiable information known only to Dr. Vender and which code will be kept in a locked office at Hershey Medical Center (HMC) Biomedical Research Building C5860.
This code will contain participant (both CF patients and healthy volunteers): name, HMC medical record #, age, gender, date of sample, date of birth and sweat chloride/bromide results.
In the event of any publication or presentation resulting from the research, no personally identifiable information will be shared.
Personally identifiable health information access (such as diagnosis, name, HMC medical record#, age, gender, date of birth) is specifically for Cystic Fibrosis patients.
Medical records and health information will NOT be accessed for healthy control volunteers, however name, age, gender, date of birth will be recorded.
