Skeletal Health and Bone Marrow Composition in Adolescents With Cystic Fibrosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators will be evaluating bone marrow composition via magnetic resonance imaging in adolescents diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to healthy, matched controls. The investigators will also be assessing their bone mineral density via other imaging modalities, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). This longitudinal project will focus on abnormalities in bone marrow composition, and specifically whether adolescents with diagnosed with CF exhibit increased bone marrow fat, its association with bone mineral density (BMD) and the underlying pathophysiology, including glycemic control, inflammation, and bone turnover markers.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Active use (within the past 3 months) of medications that are known to affect skeletal metabolism
- CF exacerbation or glucocorticoid exposure within the prior 1 month
- Lung transplant
Other illness
- Diagnosis of other chronic disease affecting bone health
Who the study is looking for
- 13-20 years old
- Cystic fibrosis with pancreatic insufficiency
- Must have a stable treatment regimen, including CFTR modulator usage unchanged for the prior three months
- Liver transplant recipients will be eligible, as long as they are at least 1 year post-transplant and are no longer on Prednisone for immunosuppressive therapy
