Cystische Fibrose (CF) ist eine der häufigsten Erbkrankheiten, die mit einer erhöhten Sterblichkeit im jungen Erwachsenenalter einhergeht, meist durch eine durch chronische Infekte zerstörte Lunge. Regelmässiges körperliches Training kann neben einem verminderten Rückgang der Lungenfunktion, die Lebensqualität und körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit verbessern und gar die Sterblichkeit herauszögern.

Titel des Forschungsprojekts Auswirkung eines teilweise überwachten Trainingsprogramms bei Patienten mit Cystischer Fibrose (CF): eine internationale, multizentrische randomisierte, kontrollierte Studie Lead Cystische Fibrose (CF) ist eine der häufigsten Erbkrankheiten, die mit einer erhöhten Sterblichkeit im jungen Erwachsenenalter einhergeht, meist durch eine durch chronische Infekte zerstörte Lunge. Regelmässiges körperliches Training kann neben einem verminderten Rückgang der Lungenfunktion, die Lebensqualität und körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit verbessern und gar die Sterblichkeit herauszögern. Inhalt und Ziele des Forschungsprojekts Körperliche Trainingsprogramme sind zu einem wichtigen Standpunkt der Therapie von chronischen Erkrankungen wie CF geworden, wobei das ideale Programm zur idealen Beeinflussung des Krankheitsverlaufs und der bestmöglichen Durchführbarkeit durch die Patienten noch unklar ist. Wir möchten deshalb untersuchen, ob ein teilweise überwachtes Trainingsprogramm (+3 Std/Woche über 12 Monate) auf der Basis von modernen, attraktiven Motivationsmethoden durch persönliche feedbacks mittels Schrittzählern und per Internet den Krankheitsverlauf von CF Patienten optimal zu beeinflussen vermögen. Die Studie wird wegen der seltenen Erkrankung und um die Generalisierbarkeit und schlussendliche Umsetzung bei Erfolg zu gewähren, weltweit in 7-9 Ländern (CH, D, AU, F, CAN, UK, ev. USA und NL) durchgeführt an 300 12-40-jährigen CF Patienten mit genügendem Gesundheitszustand für ein Training einschliessen. Wissenschaftlicher und gesellschaftlicher Kontext des Forschungsprojekts Das Projekt beschäftigt sich mit klinisch angewandter Forschung. Körperliches Training birgt ein minimales Risiko für die CF Patienten und ist eine kostengünstige Therapiemodalität, die geprüft werden sollte hinsichtlich des Krankheitsverlaufs diesen Patienten. Im Falle positiver Gesundheitseffekte wird das Programm interessierten CF Zentren kostenlos zur Verfügung stehen in verschiedenen Sprachen.

Abstract
Introduction: Regular physical activity and exercise have become an important part in therapy of cystic fibrosis (CF) as it is associated with higher exercise capacity, a stabilisation or even an improvement in lung function and a higher quality of life. Moreover, exercise capacity is one of the best predictors of mortality in CF and if improved by exercise may lead to a prolonged life. Well designed small randomized controlled conditioning studies found an increase in forced vital capacity (FVC), but not in FEV1. Furthermore, important aspects of exercise effects on glucose control, osteoporosis, depression, clinical status or the moderating effect of the existing gene mutation have not been evaluated.Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of a partially supervised individualized exercise program supported by motivational feedback on FEV1. Secondary endpoints include physical activity, exercise performance, anthropometry, osteoporosis, glycemic control, quality of life, depression, clinical status including exacerbations, antibiotics use, adverse effects of exercise, and moderating effects by the CF mutation. Design of the study: For this international multicenter randomized controlled trial a total of 300 patients with CF 12 years and older with a FEV1 >35% predicted will be recruited from centres in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Australia, Canada, France, United Kingdom, and United States. Following the baseline assessments (2 visits) patients will be randomized into an intervention and a control group 1:1 on the basis of a center-based computer generated random number table by a person not involved in the study. Thereafter, they will be seen every 3 months for 4 follow-up assessments over one year. The intervention group will be asked to increase physical activity by at least three hours of intense physical activity weekly, including at least 30 min of strength building exercises and two hours of aerobic exercises per week. In addition, they are told to reduce screen time by 25%. Regular feedback will be given via a step counter (pedometer), an individual web-based activity diary, and by the centre staff. The control group participants will keep their activity level constant. After 6 months, the control group will receive the full intervention while the intervention group will continue with the intervention at a lower level of supervision.CF-relevance: Based on previous work of our group and others it is expected that participants will increase their physical activity, their physical fitness, their quality of life and likely their pulmonary function. There is very little risk associated with the drug “exercise”, especially in patients with CF. The evaluation of the program will not only be able to show whether a partially supervised exercise intervention can improve lung health in CF, but will also allow to assess for the first time the effects of regular exercise on bone health, depression scores and glycemic control in patients with CF and whether exercise effects are moderated by the CF mutation. If the program shall prove effective, a complete package will become available to interested CF centres in English, French and German to promote exercise in almost all patients. The program will allow centres without previous experience in exercise counselling to improve the care for their patients.
