About this trial
The REACH study is for people with CF who do not take cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. The goal of the REACH study is to collect research data, including health data and specimens, from people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators. This data may be used to inform CF research, help design CF clinical trials and support the development of new treatments for people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators.
Another goal of this study is to learn about research involvement for people with CF who do not take CFTR modulators, engage them in research, and give them an opportunity to learn about what is involved in participating in a CF research study.

Disqualifiers
None
Trial population

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in ppFEV1 at 12 months
Mean change (standard deviation) in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1) as measured by in-clinic spirometry from baseline to 12 months post-baseline.
Secondary outcomes
Change in CFQ-R-RD at 12 months
Mean change (standard deviation) in the Cystic Fibrosis Question - Revised Respiratory Domain (CFQ-R-RD) from Baseline to 12 months post-baseline. Scores for the CFQ-R-RD range from 0 to 100.
Change in home spirometry ppFEV1 at 12 months
Mean change (standard deviation) in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1) as measured by home spirometry from baseline to 12 months post-baseline.
Change in LCI 2.5% at 12 months
Mean change (standard deviation) in lung clearance index (LCI) calculated as 1/40th of starting end-tidal concentration of N2 (LCI 2.5%) as measured by multiple breath washout (MBW) from baseline to 12 months post-baseline.
Change in LCI 5% at 12 months
Mean change (standard deviation) in lung clearance index (LCI) calculated as 1/20th of starting end-tidal concentration of N2 (LCI 5%) as measured by multiple breath washout (MBW) from baseline to 12 months post-baseline.
