HERO-2: Home-Reported Outcomes With CFTR Modulator Therapy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is an observational cohort study, using data from Folia Health and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (CFFPR). Individuals taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) may be enrolled through the Folia application. During the 12-month study period, participants will be asked to track their routine treatment and medication usage, daily symptoms, and monthly review with validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires. Participants will also be asked to self-report instances of changes to their treatment plan, and pulmonary exacerbations. There are no study-associated site visits.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study will be a prospective, observational cohort study to investigate the changes in lung function among individuals who have made treatment changes after initiating treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). Data will be collected from Folia Health, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (CFFPR) for participants who are registered. Participation in the study will occur through the Folia application where study participants will be directed to a specific HERO-2 study dashboard. Individuals (n=860) taking ETI may be enrolled at participating sites, through social media recruitment or from existing users of Folia Health. During the 12-month study period, participants will be asked to track their routine treatment and medication usage, daily symptoms, and monthly review with validated CF patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires. Participants will also be asked to self-report instances of changes to their treatment plan, and pulmonary exacerbations. Data collected within Folia will be linked to the CFFPR for individual outcomes with regards to clinical data including anthropometric measures, lung function, complications, and IV-treated pulmonary exacerbations. This study will not provide or recommend any treatment recommendations. All direction for medication usage is solely at the discretion of the patient's physician in accordance with their usual practice. The primary objective for the study will be to evaluate changes in lung function as measured by forced expiratory volume over one second (FEV1) percent predicted in individuals who report making at least one change to chronic daily respiratory therapies upon study entry and during the 12 month follow up compared to those who do not make changes to chronic daily therapies. Secondary endpoints will include a measurement of the proportion of individuals making changes to chronic daily therapy, the need to resume chronic daily therapy, health-related quality of life, symptom severity and symptom frequency, and pulmonary exacerbations requiring IV antibiotics.
