Study Summary

This is a prospective, observational study examining the impact of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and olfactory dysfunction (OD) in young children with cystic fibrosis (YCwCF). This study involves two groups: children 2-8 years old, inclusive at initial visit, receiving highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT), and a control group of children 2-8 years old, inclusive at initial visit, not receiving HEMT. Outcomes will include sinus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, olfactory tests, and quality of life surveys obtained over a two-year period.

Eligible Conditions
  • Cystic Fibrosis
  • Anomia
  • Olfactory Disorders
  • Chronic Sinusitis

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Non-HEMT/Control GroupExperimental Treatment0 Interventions
Children with CF not on ivacaftor or elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor CFTR modulator therapy.
Group II: HEMT GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children with CF planning to start ivacaftor or elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor CFTR modulator therapy. Participants from the non-HEMT group of this study may enroll into the HEMT cohort if they become eligible for these CFTR modulator therapies and plan to start them.
