Study summary

Hypothesis: Circulating monocytes RANK and MCSF-R expression is predictive of Cystic Fibrosis-related Bone Disease.

Study design: Single-center comparative cross-sectional study Population: Patients with a CFTR channel mutation causing cystic fibrosis consulting the Centre de Ressources et de Compétences de la Mucoviscidose (CRCM) at Reims University Hospital will be recruited. Healthy controls will be recruited from donors at the Etablissement Français du Sang Grand Est, Reims.

Judgment criteria:

  • Main judgment criterion: X Expression level of CD115 (MCSF receptor) and CD265 (RANK) evaluated by flow cytometry receptors on the membranes of circulating monocytes.
  • Secondary judgment criteria: X Rate of circulating CD115 +, CD265 +, CD115 + / CD265 + monocytes X Number of multinucleated cells with more than 2 nuclei and with an actin ring observed under fluorescence microscopy after osteoclastic differentiation X Surface of dentin resorbed in vitro by osteoclasts during an osteoclastic functionality test on dentin X Serum S1P levels assayed by ELISA technique.

Investigation plan:

Any eligible patient will be offered to participate in the study during the consultation at the CRCM. If the patient agrees to participate in the study, he/she will be included. Participation in the study will not affect its coverage. Participation will lead to the collection of three tubes of whole blood additional to those used as part of usual care, as well as the collection of demographic data (age, sex, height, weight, body mass index), sports practice, clinical images and interpretation, medical history (diabetes, infectious status, bone metabolism disorders, drug treatments followed, psychiatric disorders). Any subsequent donor from the EFS GE collected under the ALC / PIL / DIR / AJR / FO / 606 agreement and presenting characteristics of age +/- 2 years and identical gender will then be included.

Statistical analysis plan:

Qualitative variables will be described in terms of number and percentage. The quantitative distribution variables according to the Normal law will be described in the form of mean +/- standard deviation or in the form of boxplots (median, quartiles, deciles) if a distribution not following the Normal law is observed. ANOVA test, non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test or chi² test will be aplied depending on the application conditions. A value of p \<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient having a medical history that may compromise the protocol (psychiatric, medical or pharmacological disorders such as the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, or any compound that may alter or modify the inflammatory reaction in the week preceding the protocol).
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • Patient protected by law (guardianship, curatorship, hospitalized without their consent and not protected by law, deprived of liberty)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
