SIMPLIFY: Study to evaluate stopping inhaled hypertonic saline or dornase alfa in people with CF who are taking the triple-combination modulator, elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (SIMPLIFY-IP-19)
This study will test the effects and safety of stopping inhaled hypertonic saline or dornase alfa (Pulmozyme®) in teens and adults with CF who are also taking the triple-combination modulator, elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (Trikafta®). Trikafta® is intended to help CFTR function closer to normal, resulting in better clearance of mucus from the lungs. Inhaled hypertonic saline and dornase alfa are intended to thin airway surface liquid and improve clearance of mucus from the lungs. They are considered to be relatively burdensome therapies, so this study will look at the impact of stopping them in people who are also taking Trikafta®.
This is an open label study, meaning all participants are taking Trikafta® and either inhaled hypertonic saline, dornase alfa, or both. There are two identical arms -- Study A and Study B. Participants in Study A will be randomly assigned to either continue or discontinue hypertonic saline. Participants in Study B will be randomly assigned to either continue or discontinue dornase alfa. Participants who are currently taking both hypertonic saline and dornase alfa will be randomized to either Study A or Study B. Researchers will test the effects of stopping inhaled hypertonic saline or dornase alfa by tracking lung function and changes in respiratory symptoms. They will also test the safety of stopping inhaled hypertonic saline or dornase alfa by monitoring for adverse events.
This study may require lung function tests and/or other measurements.

Clinical Studies 101
-
Questions to Ask When Considering a Specific Trial
Clinical trials that test potential drugs and therapies in people with cystic fibrosis are a major part of CF research. They take place at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care centers all over the United States and enroll people with CF of all ages.
-
Patient Safety Is a Priority
Nothing is more important than patient safety in developing new treatments for cystic fibrosis. The U.S. government requires that all clinical trials are supervised for safety, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation adds additional measures to protect study volunteers.
-
How Do Clinical Trials Work
Each clinical trial has a study sponsor and a protocol. Potential drugs must move through four well-defined phases of testing in patients.
