- The study investigates whether adding nebulized hypertonic saline (HS) to dornase alfa (DA) treatment improves lung function in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients compared to those receiving DA alone, specifically focusing on F508del homozygous patients.
- A retrospective analysis of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry from 2006-2014 included data from 1,241 patients who were treated for 1 to 5 years, analyzing changes in FEV % predicted between the two treatment groups.
- Results indicated that while patients on DA and HS initially showed lower lung function compared to those on DA only, after adjusting for various factors, their lung function was comparable over time, suggesting that the HS treatment
