About this trial

The goal of this study is to investigate the prevalence of dysglycemia with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) obtained during pulmonary exacerbations, both outpatient and inpatient, in youth with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

6- 25 years old

Confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (based on sweat chloride and/or two known disease causing CF mutations)

access to a smart phone and/or internet connection and the ability to complete remote telehealth visits

Disqualifiers

known type 1 or type 2 diabetes, monogenic diabetes

critical illness requiring admission to the ICU

pregnancy

Trial population

Individuals with CF ages 6 y- 25 years will be eligible to enroll. Participants will be enrolled at baseline health during a routine CF clinic visit or upon diagnosis of a pulmonary exacerbation (PEx). A PEx will be defined by treatment with either oral or IV antibiotics for an increase in respiratory symptoms as defined by a pediatric pulmonologist at our CF Center. Oral antibiotics are typically prescribed for two weeks based on clinical care guidelines developed at our center which standardize antibiotic selection based on prior respiratory culture results.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

CGM standard deviation

Measures of glycemic variability from CGM during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) compared measure derived from recovery period (CGM-post)

Time frame
14 days
2

CGM coefficient of variation

CGM measure of glycemic variability during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) with recovery measure (CGM-post)

Time frame
14 days
3

MAGE (mean amplitude of glycemic excursions)

CGM measures of glycemic variability (MAGE) during the exacerbation (CGM-PEx) with recovery measures (CGM-post)

Time frame
14 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) at each visit

Collected clinically at baseline during routine visits, and at the start of a pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) for those admitted inpatient and in clinic, and at next in person routine clinic visit; b)by home spirometer during routine clinic visits, and in the hone setting (if not in person) once for the baseline visit, and at the onset of exacerbation and twice/week for 14 days, and once upon recovery (at least 6 weeks after PEx)

Time frame
up to 2 years
2

Need for additional antibiotics within 28 days following initial treatment

If initial Rx for antiobiotics proves unsuccessful and participant requires additional treatment

Time frame
up to 2 years
3

Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score questionnaire

Questionnaire tracking exacerbation symptoms

Time frame
up to 2 years
4

sputum culture as available from clinical data

Will be collected when available from clinical data

Time frame
up to 2 years
