Sweat Testing in Infants: Comparing Sweat Collection on Upper Vs Lower Limbs
Sweat Testing in Infants: a Comparative Study Investigating the Collection of Sweat on the Upper Limbs Compared to the Lower Limbs
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Mar 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this study is to compare the rate of Quantity Not Sufficient (QNS) during sweat collection in infants under 6 months of age, using the Macroduct Advanced device for sweat testing. The main question it aims to answer is: Does sweat collection from the thigh (lower limb) reduce the QNS rate compared to the forearm (upper limb) in infants? Do chloride concentration levels differ between sweat collected from the forearm and thigh in the same infants?

Prior treatment
- use of systemic corticosteroids
Other
- chromosome abnormalities
- metabolic abnormalities
- cardiopathies
- eczema
- important skin lesions on the limbs
- critically ill patients (for example hemodynamically unstable)
Who the study is looking for
- minimal 3,000 kg
- after a positive newborn screening (NBS) test. During this test, newborns are screened for rare diseases including CF. In case of a positive NBS test for CF, a sweat test is routinely performed to confirm or withdraw the diagnosis.
- after clinical assessment for CF, with ST as diagnostic step
- siblings of patients with CF in order to exclude CF
- CF patients who are willing to participate
- Healthy infants, born at the maternity unit of UZ Brussel, of which parents are willing to participate
Age in the registry: 10 days to 6 months · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
