Brief Summary

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in an ongoing global pandemic. It is unclear whether the relatively low number of reported cases of COVID-19 in people with CF (pwCF) is due to enhanced infection prevention practices or whether pwCF have protective genetic/immune factors. This study aims to prospectively assess the proportion of pwCF, including both adults and children with CF who have evidence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over a two-year period. This study will also examine whether pwCF who have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 have a different clinical presentation and what impact this has on their CF disease. The proposed study will recruit pwCF from paediatric and adult CF centres throughout the United Kingdom. Serological testing to detect antibodies will be performed on blood samples taken at month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 with additional time-points if bloodwork is available via normal clinical care. Clinical data on, lung function, CF-related medical history, pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, and microbiology and vaccination receipt, will be collected during routine clinical assessments. Associations will be examined between socio-demographic and clinical variables and serologic testing. We will also examine the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on clinical outcomes and analyse end-points to explore any age-related or gender-based differences, as well as subgroup analysis of outcomes in lung-transplant recipients and pwCF receiving CFTR modulator therapies. As pwCF receive COVID-19 vaccination we will perform a comparison of the development and progression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pwCF following natural infection and vaccination SARS-CoV-2 over time.

Conditions

Cystic Fibrosis; Covid19

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• 1.To evaluate SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence

  (comprising a 1-year enrollment period and a 2-year follow-up) \] To evaluate SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in a cohort of people with cystic fibrosis, followed longitudinally over a 3-year period

  3-year period

• To examine the associations

  2.To examine the associations (comprising a 1-year enrollment period and a 2-year follow-up) \] To examine the associations between SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity, clinical symptoms and clinical outcomes in a cohort of people with cystic fibrosis

  3-year period

• To perform a longitudinal comparison

  3.To perform a longitudinal comparison (comprising a 1-year enrollment period and a 2-year follow-up) \] To perform a longitudinal comparison of the development and progression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in people with cystic fibrosis following natural infection and vaccination SARS-CoV-2

  3-year period

Secondary Outcomes (1)
