Clinical Trial Summary

With improved survival, the clinical spectrum of cystic fibrosis (CF), a complex multi systemic disease, continue to evolve. A major emerging complication is CF related diabetes (CFRD) which is occurring in 40-50% of adults. Patients who develop CFRD are at increase risk of morbidity and mortality and they are also facing an increased medical burden with insulin therapy, the only recommended treatment. Accelerated decline in weight and/or pulmonary function start 2 to 4 years before CFRD onset and this period is characterized by frequent Post-Prandial Glycemic (PPG) excursions. Higher PPG excursions are associated with lower pulmonary function and it predicts future CFRD risk. To the improved nutritional status, lung function and survival of patients, the nutritional approach for patients with CF focuses on high-energy high-fat diet and a pancreatic enzyme supplementation. However, such diet also contributes to increased PPG excursions. Based on the beneficial effects of nutrition therapy to improve PPG in other forms of pre-diabetes and diabetes, extending such benefits to patients with CF is important. The investigators aim to test the feasibility and the effectiveness of a viscous fiber supplement to reduce PPG in adult patients with CF. Using a randomized crossover design, the investigators will study the impact of two doses of a viscous fiber supplement as compared to a placebo.


Description:

With improved survival, the clinical spectrum of cystic fibrosis (CF), a complex multi systemic disease, continue to evolve. A major emerging complication is CF related diabetes (CFRD). CFRD is a major co-morbidity occurring in 20% of adolescents and 40-50% of adults and is mainly due to reduced insulin secretion. Patients who develop CFRD are at increase risk of morbidity and mortality and they are also facing an increased medical burden with insulin therapy, the only recommended treatment. Because accelerated decline in weight and/or pulmonary function start 2 to 4 years before CFRD onset and that this period is characterized by frequent Post-Prandial Glycemic (PPG) excursions, the role of these PPG excursions in clinical deterioration have been investigated. The investigators have shown that higher PPG excursions are associated with lower pulmonary function and others have shown that PPG excursions predicts future CFRD risk. Food overconsumption is discouraged in other forms of diabetes to avoid overweight or obesity, but also to prevent an increase in insulin demand. In contrast, nutritional approach for patients with CF focuses on high-energy high-fat diet to meet increased energy requirements. In combination with an appropriate pancreatic enzyme supplementation, this approach contributes significantly to the improved nutritional status, lung function and survival of patients. However, such diet also contributes to increased PPG excursions. Based on the beneficial effects of nutrition therapy to improve PPG in other forms of pre-diabetes and diabetes, extending such benefits to patients with CF is important. In the context of high CF treatment burden, such approach should however be simple and not inducing weight loss. The investigators aim to test the feasibility and the effectiveness of a viscous fiber supplement to reduce PPG in adult patients with CF. Using a randomized crossover design, the investigators will study the impact of two doses of a viscous fiber supplement as compared to a placebo in controlled conditions, in 22 patients, over 8 hours, at the research center with 2 standardized mixed-meals: breakfast and lunch on PPG excursions.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with CF

- Aged above 18 years

- CF-Impaired glucose tolerance, CF-indeterminate glucose tolerance (INDET), de-novo diabetes not requiring immediate treatment and diabetes without pharmacological treatment, based on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed within three months of the first visit

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Plasma glucose area under the curve 3 hours
Secondary Plasma insulin area under the curve 3 hours
Secondary Incretin hormones Glucagon-like peptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide Each 30 minutes, up to 510 minutes, from 8h30 am to 5h00 pm
Secondary Side effects of the supplement It will be measure with gastro-intestinal symptoms visual analog scale. There will be 3 continuous scales for gastrointestinal symptoms and 5 continuous scales to evaluate the satiety. Each scale will measure 100 mm. The score is the distance measured in millimeters from the "no pain" anchor to the participant's mark. 60, 180, 300, 420 and 540 minutes after the beginning of the test
Secondary Positive incremental area under the curve for post-prandial glucose and insulin excursions 3 hours
Secondary Mean plasma glucose 9 hours (over study period)
Secondary Percentage of time with plasma glucose concentration a. >8.0 mmol/L, b. >10.0 mmol/L, c. >11.0 mmol/L, and d. <4.0 mmol/L 9 hours (over study period)
Secondary Post-meal peak plasma glucose For the breakfast and lunch 3 hours after each meal
