Study Purpose

Implementation of a Clinical Tool to Improve Waitlist Mortality in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04687475
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Cystic Fibrosis, Lung Transplant; Complications
Additional Details

The aim of this project is to implement a clinical tool utilizing predictors of mortality for patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) on the waiting list to identify candidates that should present for urgent medical care and, if appropriate, will prompt clinicians to update a candidate's lung allocation score (LAS), the score used to prioritize lung transplant candidates for transplant by medical urgency, and avoid undetected decline. The clinical tool consists of home spirometry measures and patient reported outcomes that is completed weekly on a mobile application device used clinically to track spirometry.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Clinical Tool (Mobile Spirometry and Survey)

All subjects enrolled will be placed into the clinical tool arm. The clinical tool is comprised of a mobile application based assessment of home spirometry and a survey measuring patient reported outcomes.

Interventions

Other: - Clinical Tool (Mobile Spirometry and Survey)

The clinical tool is a combination of home spirometry measurements and a patient survey measuring patient reported outcomes including the Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptom Diary (CFRSD) and Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score (CRISS©), with permission from the Seattle Quality of Life Group.
