Pulmonary function test: MEF25.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Though the effectiveness of rhDNase is well established, little research has been carried out to determine the optimal time relation between rhDNase and ACT.
Objective:
To assess the difference in lung function between nebulisation of rhDNase before going to sleep versus nebulisation in the morning.
Methods:
The study is randomized, double blind, double dummy, cross over design.
- Inclusion criteria were CF, stable clinical condition and rhDNase maintenance therapy.
Randomisation:
- Group I: Week 1-2, inhalation of rhDNase before going to sleep, and placebo in the morning. The reversed protocol was performed during week 3-4.
- Group II: Reversed sequence. Patients continued their daily routine ACT; which was performed 30 minutes after the nebulisation in the morning.
Primary endpoint:
MEF25. Flow volume manoeuvre and Rinte are measured on day 0, 7, 14, 21, 28. The children score quality of sleep, morning sickness, cough and sputum production daily on diary cards in week 2 and 4. Cough frequency and oxygen saturation are mesured on day 7, 14, 21 and 28.
Doel van het onderzoek
Inhalation of rhDNase before sleep increases the expiratory flow at 25% of the actual forced vital capacity (MEF25) compared to inhalation of rhDNase in the morning.

Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
All subjects nebulized daily both rhDNase (2.5 mg of rhDNase in 2.5 ml buffered solution: 8.77 mg/ml sodium chloride and 0.15 mg/ml calcium chloride) and a placebo (2.5 ml of a buffered solution: 8.77 mg/ml sodium chloride and 0.15 mg/ml calcium chloride) once daily for a period of four weeks.
Placebo was similar to rhDNase in both color and taste. Subjects were randomized to two groups.
- Group I used rhDNase before going to sleep and the placebo in the morning. Airway clearance techniques are performed 30 mnutes after the nebulisation. In the following two rhDNase and placebo were taken in reversed order.
- Group II used placebo before going to sleep and rhDNase in the morning. Airway clearance techniques are performed 30 mnutes after the nebulisation. In the following two weeks placebo and rhDNase were taken in reversed order.
Patients were asked to carry out their daily routine ACT and not to change their routine technique.
