Clinical Trial Summary

International, multicenter, observational, longitudinal study to identify biomarker/s for Cystic fibrosis and to explore the clinical robustness, specificity, and long-term variability of these biomarker/s

Description:

Cystic fibrosis (CyFi) is a progressive hereditary disease with the prevalence of 1 in 2500. CyFi is an autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variant/s in the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene encoding Cftr protein.

CyFi causes chronic respiratory damage. Pulmonary findings occur already in infancy, which raises questions whether obstruction might be congenital. Thick, sticky mucus clogs the airways, reduces muco-ciliary clearance and leads to problems with breathing and recurrent bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) infections, which causes over time the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) and cysts in the lungs.There is no cure for CyFi; however, symptomatic treatment can help relieve symptoms.

The aim of this study is to identify biomarkers for Cystic fibrosis disease and to explore their clinical robustness, specificity, and long-term variability. An ideal biomarker plays an essential role in the early diagnosis, prediction and therapeutic monitoring of a specific disorder.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Identification of Cystic fibrosis biomarker/s	All samples will be analyzed for the identification of biomarker/s via Liquid Chromatography Multiple Reaction-monitoring Mass Spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) and compared to merged control, in order to establish the disease-specific biomarker/s. The LC/MRM-MS is performed on an ABSciex 6500 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, coupled with a Waters Acquity UPLC	36 months
Secondary	Exploring the clinical robustness, specificity, and long-term variability of Cystic fibrosis biomarker/s	Samples will be analyzed for the identified biomarker candidates via Liquid Chromatography Multiple Reaction-monitoring Mass Spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) and compared to merged control, in order to establish the disease-specific biomarker/s. The LC/MRM-MS is performed on an ABSciex 6500 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, coupled with a Waters Acquity UPLC.	36 months
