About this study

Official title: Real-world Efficacy and Safety of CFTR Modulator Therapy in Adult Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

In this trial real-world data on the safety (side effects and medication interactions) and efficacy (evolution of lung function testing, chronic bacterial airway infection, quality of life and endo- and exocrine pancreatic function) will be collected in adult people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) eligible for elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) up until 2 years after the start of this therapy.

Read the detailed description

PwCF group A: CFTR-modulator-naive pwCF eligible for ETI (based on age and CFTR genotype)

PwCF group B: pwCF already on CFTR modulating therapy (i.e. ivacaftor-lumacaftor or ivacaftor-tezacaftor) and switching to ETI.

Patients in both groups will undergo these examinations:

  • Physical examination (including weight)
  • Anamnesis for current and recent medication use (including dosage of pancreatic enzymes) and for acute respiratory exacerbations
  • Lung function testing including spiometry, multiple breath washout testing and fractional exhaled nitric oxide
  • Blood sampling: liver function tests, creatine kinase, albumin, PT, red and white blood cell count, platelet count
  • Sputum/cough swab sampling
  • fecal elastase measurement
  • Cystic fibrosis questionnaire-revised (CFQ-R) questionnaire
  • Patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) questionnaire
  • General anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire
  • Sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire

These will be performed at baseline (prior to the start of ETI, on the same day of start of ETI), and every 3 months (+/- 7 days) thereafter. A blood sample will also be performed 14 (+/- 7 days) days after start of ETI (for safety). Fecal elastase measurement will only be performed at baseline if not available in the patient's medical record, and only 6 months after start of ETI.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  3. Fractional excretion of nitric oxide (FeNO)

    Measured: 2 years

  4. CFQ-R questionnaire

    Measured: 2 years

  5. fecal elastase (microgram per gram of feces)

    the concentration of elastase (a pancreatic enzyme) in feces before and 6 months after start of CFTR modulating treatment, as a surrogate measure for pancreatic function

    Measured: 2 years

  6. the amount of participants experiencing a treatment-related adverse event

    Measured: 2 years

  7. annual acute exacerbation rate

    Measured: 2 years

  8. body mass index (BMI)

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CFQ-R questionnaire, SNOT-22 questionnaire, fecal elastase measurement in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stefanie Vincken, M.D. (+32 2 477 68 41, stefanie.vincken@uzbrussel.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1) (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Sep 2022.
