Impact of Discontinuing Chronic Therapies in People With Cystic Fibrosis on Highly Effective CFTR Modulator Therapy (SIMPLIFY)

A Master Protocol to Test the Impact of Discontinuing Chronic Therapies in People With Cystic Fibrosis on Highly Effective CFTR Modulator Therapy (SIMPLIFY)

Despite the increasingly common use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies in treating CF, it is still largely unknown whether or not other chronic therapies can be safely stopped. The SIMPLIFY study is being done to test whether or not it is safe to stop taking inhaled hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme® (dornase alfa) in those people that are also taking Trikafta™.

Trikafta (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) is a combination CFTR modulator therapy that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with CF who have at least one F508del mutation. The three drugs that make up Trikafta work together to allow many more chloride ions to move into and out of the cells, improving the balance of salt and water in the lungs. These changes result in better clearance of mucus from the lungs and improvements in lung function.

Inhaled hypertonic saline and Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) also improve clearance of mucus from the lungs to support lung function and have been available to people with CF for many years. Both therapies are considered to be relatively burdensome and it is not known whether either therapy can improve or maintain lung function above what is already gained through Trikafta use.

The goal of the SIMPLIFY study is to get information about whether or not it is safe to stop either inhaled hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) by testing if there is a change in lung function in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are assigned to stop their chronic medication (either hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme) as compared to those who are assigned to keep taking their medication while continuing to take Trikafta.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Cystic Fibrosis
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Discontinuation of hypertonic saline (HS); Other: Continuation of hypertonic saline (HS); Other: Discontinuation of dornase alfa (dnase); Other: Continuation of dornase alfa (dnase)

Detailed Description

SIMPLIFY-IP-19 is a master protocol is designed to evaluate the independent effects of discontinuing hypertonic saline or dornase alfa in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) age 12 and older currently taking the highly effective modulator elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). The hypertonic saline and dornase alfa sub studies are identical open label two-arm randomized non-inferiority trials consisting of a 2-week run-in period, randomization to continue or discontinue hypertonic saline or dornase alfa, followed by a 6-week study period. Subjects taking only hypertonic saline (HS) or dornase alfa at trial entry will be randomized 1:1 to either continue or discontinue the applicable therapy (i.e. HS or dornase alfa). Subjects taking both hypertonic saline and dornase alfa at study entry will be randomized to participate in either the hypertonic saline or dornase alfa and will be randomized (1:1) to continue or discontinue the applicable therapy (i.e. HS or dornase alfa). After completion of the first study, eligible subjects may subsequently enroll in the alternative study.

This clinicalrials.gov registration, NCT04378153, summarizes the 2-week run-in and adherence period prior to participant enrollment in either the Hypertonic Saline or Dornase Alfa sub studies.

Two additional clincialtrials.gov records document the sub study specific enrollment and outcome measures.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) in Hypertonic Saline (Study A) Therapy Arms	Difference between hypertonic saline (HS) therapy arms (HS-discontinue - HS-continue) in the proportion of participants with at least one AE from Week 0 to Week 6.	Week 0 to Week 6
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) in Dornase Alfa (Study B) Therapy Arms	Difference between dornase alfa (dnase) therapy arms (dnase-discontinue - dnase-continue) in the proportion of participants with at least one AE from Week 0 to Week 6.	Week 0 to Week 6
Absolute Change in Respiratory Symptoms, as Measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CRISS) from Week 0 to Week 6 in Hypertonic Saline (Study A) Therapy Arms	Difference between hypertonic saline (HS) therapy arms (HS-discontinue - HS-continue) in the absolute change in respiratory symptoms, as measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CRISS) from Week 0 to Week 6. The Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptoms Daily Diary asks a participant to state the extent of their 8 respiratory symptoms: difficulty breathing, feverishness, tiredness, chills or sweats, coughing, coughing up mucus, tightness in the chest and wheezing. Each respiratory symptom is assigned a score from 0-4 based on the response, with zero corresponding to the absence of the symptom and four corresponding to symptom being present 'a great deal' or 'extremely'. A summed score (range from 0-24) is calculated for each participant and converted to a final score with a range of 0 to 100, where the lowest scores indicate improvement of symptoms.	Week 0 to Week 6
Absolute Change in Respiratory Symptoms, as Measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CRISS) from Week 0 to Week 6 in Dornase Alfa (Study B) Therapy Arms	Difference between dornase alfa (dnase) therapy arms (dnase-discontinue - dnase-continue) in the absolute change in respiratory symptoms, as measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Severity Score (CRISS) from Week 0 to Week 6. The Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptoms Daily Diary asks a participant to state the extent of their 8 respiratory symptoms: difficulty breathing, feverishness, tiredness, chills or sweats, coughing, coughing up mucus, tightness in the chest and wheezing. Each respiratory symptom is assigned a score from 0-4 based on the response, with zero corresponding to the absence of the symptom and four corresponding to symptom being present 'a great deal' or 'extremely'.

Absolute Change in Respiratory Symptoms, as Measured by CFQ-R Respiratory Domain from Week 0 to Week 6 in Hypertonic Saline (Study A) Therapy Arms	Difference between hypertonic saline (HS) therapy arms (HS-discontinue - HS-continue) in the absolute change in respiratory symptoms, as measured by the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Domain Score from Week 0 to Week 6. The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised asks participants from 3 questions related to respiratory symptoms. The Respiratory Domain Scaled Score is calculated as follows: 100*[sum of {responses-1}] / [{number of responses}*3] only if [number of responses] ≥ [number of possible responses]/2; otherwise the score is set to missing. The scaled score ranges from 0 to 100 and higher scores indicate improvement of symptoms.	Week 0 to Week 6
