Pilot and Feasibility Study for the Treatment of Pre-diabetes in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating placebo and repaglinide for Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes and Pancreatic Insufficiency. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to provide the necessary data and experience to design a larger, full scale clinical trial to determine if a certain medicine (repaglinide), which increases the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas, can improve the nutritional status and pulmonary function of adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis and prediabetes by improving blood glucose control. The investigators are also trying to determine the relationship between systemic inflammatory factors and glucose impairment.

Interventions
CF pancreatic insufficient patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CFRD without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD-No FH) by OGTT will be treated with placebo by taking 1 pill before each meal that contains more than 20 grams of carbohydrate 3-4 times a day for 2 years.
CF pancreatic insufficient patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CFRD without fasting hyperglycemia (CFRD-No FH) by OGTT will be treated with repaglinide 0.5 mg before each meal that contains more than 20 grams of carbohydrate 3-4 times a day for 2 years.
