E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Diseases [C] - Congenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Diseases and Abnormalities [C16] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
to evaluate the clinical effect of a long term treatment (8 weeks) with oral B2-agonists in CF patients with residual CFTR function |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Evaluate the correlations between individual B2-agonist-induced CFTR function in vitro (organoid-based measurements) and the long term clinical treatment effect (eg. lung function and airway resistance).
2. Assess the effect of the salbutamol concentration in the blood on CFTR function in the background of patient specific parameters. We will do this by examining the CFTR-stimulating potential of the patients’ blood in vitro (in the organoid model).

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- CFTR genotype compound/A455E or compound/R117H
- Already had a rectal biopsy to produce an organoid
- Males and females, aged 18 years or older on the date of informed consent
- Signed informed consent form (ICF)
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Severe acute exacerbation or pulmonary infection during last four weeks (needing intravenous treatment and/or systemic corticosteroids)
- Known cardiovascular medical history like cardiac failure, arrhythmias, ischemic cardiac disease, long QT interval syndrome and hypertension
- Known hyperthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption
- Haemoglobin A1C (HBA1C) > 45 mmol/mol
- Use of oral B2-agonist one week prior to the start of the study (V1)
- Use of: heart glycoside, high dose sympathomimetics, theophylline, thiazide diuretics or non-selective beta-blockers
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Participation in another drug-investigating clinical study at the start
- Inability to follow instructions of the investigator
