About this trial

The study aims to test whether use of CFTR modulators (ETI) improves fasting and post prandial glycemia by enhancing disposition index (DI) in individuals with CFRD with CFTR +ve mutation (at least one copy of F508del) on CFTR modulator (ETI) therapy (CFRDF508del+ETI). CFRD with a mutation that is not eligible for modulator therapy (CFRD-ETI) will be the control group.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD)

Age 21-75 years at time of consent

BMI 19-50 kg/m2 (In Asians BMI is ~ 2 points lower for comparison so it is 17-48 kg/m2)

Creatinine ≤ 1.4 mg/dl in women and ≤ 1.5 mg/dl in men

Disqualifiers

Debilitating chronic disease

Anemia <10.0 gm/dL in females and <11.0 gm/dL in males

Symptoms of undiagnosed illness on history/exam

Abuse of alcohol or recreational drugs

Trial population

Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis related Diabetes (CFRD) Subjects will be recruited from the UAB Health System. Primary locations for recruitment will include the CF center and pulmonary clinics and endocrinology clinics. Dr. Solomon is the Associate Director of the CF center and the Co-Director of the Clinical Research Unit. He will work with the clinical provider team of the adult CF clinic to find eligible patients. All physical recruitment locations are within 5-30 minutes walking/driving distance from the UAB Clinical Research Unit (CRU). Dr. A. Basu, is Director of the Diabetes Technology Clinic at UAB and he sees many of these patients for diabetes care; we also have open communication with the endocrinology and primary care clinics at UAB, where we have had success in the past recruiting for previous and current ongoing studies. Electronically, we will recruit through the UAB Hospital electronic medical record (EMR) system, and UAB internet p

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Disposition Index in CFRD

Disposition Index (DI - β-cell responsivity appropriate to the degree of insulin resistance) is higher in CFRDF508del+ETI when compared to CFRD with a mutation not eligible to be on ETI (CFRD-ETI).

Time frame
Day 1 During the Mixed meal test

Secondary outcomes

1

Post prandial glucose turnover

Post prandial glucose turnover is improved in CFRDF508del+ETI when compared to CFRD with a mutation not eligible to be on ETI (CFRD-ETI).
