Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The rate of protocol-defined pulmonary exacerbations requiring treatment with oral, inhaled or intravenous antibiotics between subjects randomized to HS and IS

    during the 48 week treatment period

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Symptoms by parent home questionnaire administered weekly

    during the 48 week treatment period

  • Health-related quality of life as assessed by scores from Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Parent Report (CFQ-R), administered quarterly

    over the 48 week treatment period

  • Standardized cough score assessed at study visits

    during the 48 week treatment period

  • Change in weight, height, resting respiratory rate, and room air oxygen saturation

    over the 48 week treatment period

  • Among participants from whom Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) and other CF pathogens were not isolated from respiratory cultures prior to enrollment, the proportion from whom these organisms are isolated from clinically collected respiratory cultures

    measured at baseline and at 48 weeks

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Active treatment group

EXPERIMENTAL

7% Hypertonic Saline administered via inhalation twice daily for 48 ± 4 weeks

Drug: 7% Hypertonic Saline (HS)

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

0.9% Isotonic Saline administered via inhalation twice daily for 48 ± 4 weeks

Drug: 0.9% Isotonic Saline (IS)

Interventions

Administered via inhalation twice daily for 48 ± 4 weeks. The delivery system is a PARI Sprint Junior nebulizer with a PARI Baby face mask or mouthpiece driven by a PARI Pro Neb compressor.

Also known as: Hyper-Salâ„¢, inhaled saline
Active treatment group

Administered via inhalation twice daily for 48 ± 4 weeks. The delivery system is a PARI Sprint Junior nebulizer with a PARI Baby face mask or mouthpiece driven by a PARI Pro Neb compressor.

Also known as: Normal saline
Control group

Eligibility Criteria

Age4 Months - 59 Months
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of CF by newborn screening or at least one clinical feature of CF, AND either: (a) A documented sweat chloride ≥ 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis or (b) A genotype with two identifiable CF-causing mutations
  • Informed consent by parent or legal guardian
  • Age 4 months to \< 60 months at Enrollment visit. If participating in Infant Pulmonary Function testing (selected sites), age 4 months to \< 16 months at Enrollment visit.
  • Ability to comply with medication use, study visits, and study procedures as judged by the site investigator

You may not qualify if:

  • Acute intercurrent respiratory infection, defined as an increase in cough, wheezing, or respiratory rate with onset in 1 week preceding Enrollment visit
  • Acute wheezing at Enrollment visit (prior to HS test dose), or at Infant PFT visit (prior to infant pulmonary function testing), as applicable
  • Oxygen saturation \< 95% (\< 90% in centers located above 4000 feet elevation) at Enrollment visit (prior to HS test dose) or at Infant PFT visit (prior to infant pulmonary function testing), as applicable
  • Other major organ dysfunction, excluding pancreatic dysfunction
  • Physical findings that would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of the study data as determined by the site investigator
  • Investigational drug use within 30 days prior to Enrollment visit, or within 30 days prior to Infant PFT visit as applicable
  • Treatment with inhaled hypertonic saline at any concentration within 30 days of Enrollment visit, or within 30 days prior to Infant PFT visit as applicable
  • Chronic lung disease not related to CF
  • Intolerance of test dose of HS at Enrollment visit
  • A sibling that has been randomized and is still enrolled in ISIS002
  • History of adverse reaction to sedation
  • Clinically significant upper airway obstruction as determined by the Site Investigator (e.g. severe laryngomalacia, markedly enlarged tonsils, significant snoring, diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea)
  • Severe gastroesophageal reflux, defined as persistent frequent emesis despite anti-reflux therapy
  • Acute intercurrent respiratory infection, defined as an increase in cough, wheezing, or respiratory rate with onset in 2 weeks preceding visit
