Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Monoglyceride of DHA (DHA-MAG) is a lipid compound for which intestinal absorption would increase the ratio DHA / arachidonic acid (AA) and promote the synthesis of specific metabolites involved in the resolution of inflammation.

The PREMDIC project, initiated at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke, is a randomized double-blind study for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and aims to evaluate whether daily supplementation monoglyceride of DHA (a fatty acid omega-3 family) will reduce lung inflammation and improve pulmonary function.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of the study is:

To investigate the efficacity of oral administration of MAG-DHA to increase DHA bioavailability and reduce lung inflammation of patients with cystic fibrosis

The specific objectives of the project are :

* Determine the effect of MAG-DHA on lipid membranes of the blood mononuclear cells.
* Evaluate the effect of MAG-DHA on lung inflammation (determination of Human leukocyte elastase and alpha1 antitrypsin complexes : pHLE).

For this study, 20 cystic fibrosis patients are recruited. Patients are divided into 2 groups of 10 and received a daily dose equivalent to 3 g of placebo (sunflower oil) or MAG-DHA.

The project takes place over a period of 3 months and patients must travel to the research center for a total of five visits including recruitment.

For the 2 groups, DHA ratio / AA is measured in membranes of mononuclear cells. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is determined and pHLE complexes are detected in plasma as a marker of inflammation.
