Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to implement a non-invasive version of the sweat secretion test based in visualization of sweat glands following β-adrenergic stimulation of sweat. Specifically, the trial will evaluate the relative response of sweat glands to β-adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation among participants with CF, heterozygous and matched control subjects

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with mucoviscidosis

For patients with cystic fibrosis: clinically stable, all genotypes included.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Iontophoresis sessions in forearm of subjects with pilocarpine

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The test with two iontophoresis sessions is performed in a forearm of subjects. Pilocarpine is applied during the first iontophoresis session to evoke cholinergic-induced sweat secretion. Atropine, isoprenaline and aminophylline are applied during the second iontophoresis session, to block the cholinergic component and to evoke β-adrenergic-induced sweat secretion.

Parents of patients with confirmed diagnosis of mucoviscidosis

The parents are heterozygous subjects
