Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main study parameter is pulmonary function (%FEV1) measured before and after the use<br>of genistein and before and after the use of placebo.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
· Sweat chloride concentration (SCC), before and after the use of genistein and placebo;<br /><br>· Airway resistance (Rint and bodybox), before and after the use of genistein and<br>placebo;<br /><br>· BMI (=weight (in Kg)/Length2 (in cm)) before and after the use of genistein and<br>placebo;<br /><br>· Quality of life (measured with CFQ-questionnaire) before and after the use of<br>genistein and placebo;<br /><br>· Elastase measurements in the feces before and after the use of genistein and placebo;<br /><br>· The CFTR stimulating ability of the concentration of genistein in the patient’s blood<br>samples, examined by in vitro testing (in the organoid model). We will also determine<br>the plasma levels of genistein by HPLC;<br><br /><br /><br>Exploratory endpoint:<br /><br>· Assessment of ß-adrenergic sweat secretion by evaporimetry, before and after<br>the use of genistein and placebo.<br />
