Adult Pilot Study for Reference Ranges and Optimal Cut-offs for the Sucrose Challenge Test and Sucrose Breath Test

Completed
Conditions
Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Sucrose Hydrogen Methane Breath Test
Registration Number
NCT05045495
Lead Sponsor
QOL Medical, LLC
Brief Summary

An adult pilot study to establish the normal reference range and optimal cutoffs for the oral 50g Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT) and the 50g 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT) for patients with CSID and healthy controls. This study will enroll 120 healthy controls and 50 CSID patients. No study drug will be administered during this study.

Detailed Description

In an effort to mimic the real-world diagnostic setting for these tests, this study will be conducted virtually using a central site with telemedicine capabilities and electronic data capture software to collect data in real time via a mobile app. Subject will complete 3 visits within 21 days. Eligible subjects will undergo the following tests:

1. 50g 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT)

2. Sucrose Intolerance Hydrogen Methane Breath Test (HBT)

3. Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT)

4. Buccal swab for CSID Genetic Testing (GT)

The primary aim is to establish the reference/normal ranges and optimal cutoff values for the SCT and CBT.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Subject must provide informed consent prior to any study procedures being performed.
  • Subject is a U.S. resident, and speaks and understands English
  • Subject is male or female, ≥ 18 years old.
  • CSID Cases must have been on Sucraid for at the last 12 months.
  • Healthy Volunteers do not have a CSID diagnosis or other chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Subject must have their own Android or Apple device to access the mobile patient app.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Females who are lactating or pregnant.
  • Subjects with allergy to sucrose.
  • Subjects with causes of abdominal pain or altered bowel habits other than symptoms -related to CSID (in CSID group) such as SIBO, IBD, celiac disease, pancreatitis, or -gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Diabetes mellitus.
  • Use of systemic antibiotics, had a barium study, colonoscopy, unexplained runny diarrhea, or similar within 14 days prior to informed consent. Potential subjects can be re-screened once they meet this criterion.
  • Recent febrile illness.
  • Subject has major physical or psychiatric illness within the last 6 months that in the opinion of the investigator would affect the subject's ability to complete the trial.

Healthy VolunteerSucrose Hydrogen Methane Breath Test120 Healthy Volunteers will perform the 50-gram sucrose challenge test, Sucrose hydrogen methane breath test, 13C-sucrose breath test and collect buccal swab samples for genetic testing.
CSID CaseSucrose Hydrogen Methane Breath Test50 CSID cases defined by being on Sucraid for at least 12 months will perform the 50-gram sucrose challenge test, Sucrose hydrogen methane breath test, 13C-sucrose breath test and collect buccal swab samples for genetic testing.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Establish the normal reference range for the 50g Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT)4 hours post ingestion of sucrose

Reference ranges will be estimated by the lower 2.5th percentile and upper 97.5th percentile of the distribution of test results for the case and control populations.

Establish the optimal cutoff values for the 50g Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT)4 hours post ingestion of sucrose

The mean and peak symptom severity score following sucrose ingestion will serve as markers of sucrase activity. The cutoff for the SCT will be determined by the maximum Youden Index that differentiates cases and controls.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare the negative predictive value (NPV) of the 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT) with the NPV of the Sucrose Hydrogen Methane Breath Test (HBT)4 hours post ingestion of sucrose

NPV of the CBT relative to the HBT and percentage of Sucraid® Responders in CSID cases and asymptomatic controls, and in cases confirmed by each of the following three diagnostic tools: HBT, CBT, and SCT.

Compare the positive predictive values (PPV) of the 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT) with the positive predictive value of the Sucrose Hydrogen Methane Breath Test (HBT)4 hours post ingestion of sucrose

PPV of the CBT relative to the HBT and percentage of Sucraid® Responders in CSID cases and asymptomatic controls, and in cases confirmed by each of the following three diagnostic tools: HBT, CBT, and SCT.
