Background Clinical trials in cystic fibrosis (CF) have been hindered by the paucity of well characterised and clinically relevant outcome measures.Aim To evaluate a range of conventional and novel biomarkers of CF lung disease in a multicentre setting as a contributing study in selecting outcome assays for a clinical trial of CFTR gene therapy.Methods A multicentre observational study of adult and paediatric patients with CF (>10 years) treated for a physician-defined exacerbation of CF pulmonary symptoms. Measurements were performed at commencement and immediately after a course of intravenous antibiotics. Disease activity was assessed using 46 assays across five key domains: symptoms, lung physiology, structural changes on CT, pulmonary and systemic inflammatory markers.Results Statistically significant improvements were seen in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (p<0.001, n=32), lung clearance index (p<0.01, n=32), symptoms (p<0.0001, n=37), CT scores for airway wall thickness (p<0.01, n=31), air trapping (p<0.01, n=30) and large mucus plugs (p=0.0001, n=31), serum C-reactive protein (p<0.0001, n=34), serum interleukin-6 (p<0.0001, n=33) and serum calprotectin (p<0.0001, n=31).Discussion We identify the key biomarkers of inflammation, imaging and physiology that alter alongside symptomatic improvement following treatment of an acute CF exacerbation. These data, in parallel with our study of biomarkers in patients with stable CF, provide important guidance in choosing optimal biomarkers for novel therapies. Further, they highlight that such acute therapy predominantly improves large airway parameters and systemic inflammation, but has less effect on airway inflammation.

Alton EW, Davies JC, Griesenbach U, 2013, Foreword: Current &amp; emerging pharmaceutical treatments for cystic fibrosis lung disease, ISBN: 9781780841489

This book contains contributions on cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease from leading international investigators. In eight chapters, they describe exciting progress in each of their respective fields, from pathogenesis through symptomatic treatments to addressing the basic defect. Each describes an iterative process in the best traditions of science; hypotheses being tested, rejected or improved. All of the authors have made major contributions to the cause of CF research and treatment over many years, and in this book the Editors have encouraged them to speculate and to be controversial where necessary, providing genuine insight through their experience and expertise.
