NCT ID NCT03713437

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a blood test can measure beta cell death in people with cystic fibrosis, which may help predict diabetes. About 40 participants with cystic fibrosis and healthy controls gave blood samples to check for a specific DNA marker. The goal was to understand when beta cells die and how that relates to diabetes development, not to provide treatment.
