Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Cystic Fibrosis | Diagnostic Test: collection of expectoration, stools and blood | Not Applicable |
This is a multicentric study in 3 phases:
- Pre-inclusion: at the first visit to the CRCM (support for a positive screening confirmed by sweat test and genotyping CFTR)
- Inclusion: possible between the 2nd visit to the CRCM (about 2 months old) and the 6th month
- Follow-up: up to 24 months old. The pace of visits will be based on the usual follow-up rate of CF infants
The clinical data as well as samples (expectorations, stools) will be collected on a monthly basis up to 6 months old and then every 2 months until one year old and finally quarterly until 2 years old.
- Tracheo-bronchial secretions will be collected at the CRCM
- Stools samples will be carried out by the parents prior to consultation with the CRCM
- A blood collection will be carried out annually in an annual report.
