Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Cystic fibrosis patients have donated sputum and blood samples to be stored in the ManARTS biobank, which is a repository of detailed clinical information and of biological samples. These samples were taken before and after commencing a new highly effective medication called Kaftrio. We will examine these samples for changes in the protein make-up related to starting this medication. This will give us a better understanding of how Kaftrio works and if any proteins might have potential as a new test to improve treatment.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. This causes lung infections and problems with digesting food.

Who can participate?
The study will be conducted with patients from the Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre.

What does the study involve?
Samples will be examined for changes in the protein make-up related to starting Kaftrio.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits of taking part mainly relate to developing new tests that might eventually improve clinical care. We anticipate no disadvantages.

Where is the study run from?
Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre (UK)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
August 2020 to June 2023

Who is funding the study?
North West Lung Centre charity (UK)

Who is the main contact?

Study information

Study designSingle-centre longitudinal observational study
Primary study designObservational
Secondary study designLongitudinal study
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeDiagnostic
Participant information sheet Not applicable (study uses existing data)
Scientific titleThe changes in sputum and plasma proteome in response to CFTR therapy
Study acronymSPRINT
Study objectivesCystic fibrosis has a distinct plasma and sputum proteome that relates to severity of lung disease and is modifiable by therapies.
Ethics approval(s)No approval needed, samples collected in biobank
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCystic fibrosis
InterventionWe are using sputum and blood samples provided to a research biobank by cystic fibrosis patients commencing the drug Kaftrio. All patients have provided consent. These samples will be analysed by mass spectrometry to assess large-scale changes in protein abundance (proteome) before and after therapy
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureLongitudinal change in sputum and plasma proteome associated with therapy (univariate and multivariate analyses). The proteome will be measured using mass spectrometry.
Secondary outcome measuresComparison of proteome change and clinical response to therapy measured using biobank samples and patient records at a single time point
Overall study start date01/08/2020
Completion date01/06/2023
