Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • CFTR genotype compound/ S1251N • Had a rectal biopsy to produce an organoid • Male and female patients, aged 6 years or older on the date of informed consent or, where appropriate, date of assent • Signed informed consent form (IC), and where appropriate, signed assent form
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Severe acute exacerbation or pulmonary infection during last four weeks (needing intravenous treatment and/or systemic corticosteroids); • Use of curcumin and or genistein at start or within four weeks prior to start of the study. • Participation in another drug-investigating clinical study at the start or within four weeks prior to the start; • Known cholelithiasis; • Inability to follow instructions of the investigator.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sweat chloride concentration (SCC) before and after treatment with curcumin and genistein. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Correlation between individual curcumin+genistein induced CFTR function in vitro (organoid-based measurements) and in vivo treatment effect (lung function, SCC); • The CFTR stimulating ability of the concentration of curcumin+genistein in the patient’s blood samples, examined by in vitro testing (in the organoid model). We will also determine the plasma levels of curcumin and genistein, only after treatment with curcumin and genistein. • Pulmonary function (%FEV1) and airway resistance (Rint and bodybox); • BMI (=weight (in Kg)/Length2 (in cm)); • Quality of life (measured with CFQ-questionnaire); • Bile salt measurements in plasma and the feces; • Elastase measurements in the feces. | — |
