Investigating sleep patterns in children with cystic fibrosis on CFTR modulators

Overview of Circadian Rhythm Disorders in Children With Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) Modulators

Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT06370962

This study is trying to see how CFTR medications affect sleep patterns in children with cystic fibrosis, aged 2 to 17, to better understand their sleep issues.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore circadian rhythm disorders in children aged 2 to 17 years with cystic fibrosis who are being treated with CFTR modulators. It seeks to gather data on sleep disorders, particularly focusing on chronotype abnormalities, which have been suggested but not thoroughly studied in this population. The study will involve patients from specific cystic fibrosis centers in Lyon, Paris, and Nancy, ensuring a targeted approach to understanding the impact of CFTR modulation on sleep patterns. The findings could provide insights into the quality of life for these patients and inform future care strategies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 2 to 17 years with cystic fibrosis who have been treated with CFTR modulators for at least two months.

Not a fit: Patients who are not receiving CFTR modulators or those whose parents refuse participation may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of sleep disorders in cystic fibrosis, leading to improved management and quality of life for affected children.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on circadian rhythm disorders specifically in cystic fibrosis, other studies have indicated the presence of sleep disorders in this population, suggesting a potential for meaningful findings.
