New treatment option for Cystic Fibrosis
Official title Beta-cell Response to Incretin Hormones in Cystic Fibrosis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01851694
What this study is testing
What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for cystic fibrosis.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- In recent years, diabetes has emerged as one of the most significant co-diseases that many Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients develop. Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) diabetes results when either the body does not make enough insulin or the body does not respond correctly to this insulin, respectively.
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
