Study Summary

Previous work demonstrated that inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) reduces exacerbation frequency and improves lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is unclear, however, whether HS will benefit young patients suffering from CF. The investigators propose to further support the concept that HS can benefit children with mild CF lung disease by performing a relatively short, placebo controlled study of HS in 5-12 year olds, using lung function and mucociliary clearance as key outcome measures.

Primary Outcome

Average radio tracer clearance through 90 minutes (MCC90) is primary index of mucociliary clearance at each study. Primary study outcome: is absolute change in MCC90 between baseline and at end of treatment (where MCC measured 8-12 hours after final dose of study drug) - reflects sustained impact on MCC
