About this study

Official title: Rethinking CF Organization of Care in the Era of Highly Effective Modulator: a Nationwide Research Program HORIZON.

Recently, triple therapy has made it possible to extend access to these modulators to a large proportion of the patient population, with spectacular clinical benefits, provided the patient carries at least one F508del mutation.

The hypothesis is that the arrival of CFTRmHEs has considerably altered the way cystic fibrosis is managed, requiring a rethink of how the CRCMs are organised, and a redefinition of the practices and missions of professionals, as well as the patient-professional relationship.

Read the detailed description

The organisation of cystic fibrosis care in France, within the Muco-CFTR rare disease network, is based on 47 cystic fibrosis resource and competence centres (CRCMs), which bring together multidisciplinary resources (doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists, dieticians, social workers) to ensure the continuity and coordination of patients' care pathways, taking into account the physical, psychological, educational/professional and social consequences of the disease. The CRCMs' missions are based on the National Diagnosis and Care Protocol (PNDS 2017). The recent arrival of highly effective CFTR modulators (CFTRmHE) in the arsenal of treatments is a therapeutic revolution for 83% of patients in the French Cystic Fibrosis Registry who are eligible for this treatment. Recently, triple therapy has made it possible to extend access to these modulators to a large proportion of the patient population, with spectacular clinical benefits, provided the patient carries at least one F508del mutation. This treatment improves lung function and body mass index, and reduces pulmonary exacerbations, with good tolerability. These results have led to its approval in 2019 in the United States and 2020 in Europe. Real-life results from 245 patients confirmed a spectacular improvement in respiratory function and nutritional status, to the extent that the indication for lung transplantation was suspended in 47 of the 53 patients concerned. The majority of eligible patients started treatment in 2021. The clinical benefits have prompted some patients to abandon standard treatments (respiratory physiotherapy, bronchial fluidisers) and to reconsider the way they are managed at the CRCM (spacing of visits, teleconsultation). However, in the absence of hindsight, it is not possible at present to make recommendations on reducing the burden of care.

The hypothesis is that the arrival of CFTRmHEs has considerably altered the way cystic fibrosis is managed, requiring a rethink of how the CRCMs are organised, and a redefinition of the practices and missions of professionals, as well as the patient-professional relationship.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intervention mappingOther

    Intervention mapping is a model combining patient and professional questionnaires and a qualitative survey using individual interviews with patients and focus groups with professionals to identify the obstacles and levers to change at the level of patients, professionals and organisations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Obtaining a national consensus on a proposal for a new organisation of the cystic fibrosis care pathway, including the CRCMs and the liberal network

    It will be measured by a mixed approach based on the intervention mapping model combining patient and professional questionnaires and a qualitative survey using individual interviews with patients and focus groups with professionals to identify the obstacles and levers to change at the level of patients, professionals and organisations.

    The main outcome measure is to establish a new organization of care for pwCF and HCPs in the era of HEMT by the develop an evaluation plan using a community-based participatory approach to promote external validity.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be measured at the twelfth month of the survey.

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Philippe REIX, Professor (04 27 85 50 42 ext. 04 27 85 67 72, philippe.reix@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Obtaining a national consensus on a proposal for a new organisation of the cystic fibrosis care pathway, including the CRCMs and the liberal network (time frame: The outcome measure will be measured at the twelfth month of the survey.). 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?
