Overview
This observational study evaluates the effect of therapy with cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulators on CFTR function measured by the CFTR biomarker intestinal current measurement (ICM), nasal potential difference (NPD) and sweat chloride in a post-approval setting in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Description
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) biomarker (intestinal current measurement (ICM), nasal potential difference (NPD), sweat chloride) before the start of therapy and 12 and 52 weeks after initiation of therapy Clinical parameters (anthropometry, lung function, lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), lung computer tomography (CT)) before the start of therapy and after initiation of therapy Assessment of airway secretion specimens before the start of therapy and after initiation of therapy
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Decision for cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane regulator (CFTR)-modulator therapy by the patient and the caring CF physician
- Signed informed consent form (ICF) and, where appropriate, signed assent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Ongoing participation in an investigational drug study (including studies investigating lumacaftor, tezacaftor or ivacaftor)
