Effects of elexacaf tor/tezacaf tor/ivacaf tor therapy in children with cystic fibrosis - a comprehensive assessment using lung clearance index, spirometry, and functional and structural lung MRI

Carmen Streibel et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the treatment effect of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor combination regimen on children with cystic fibrosis. The results showed significant improvements in lung function and structural and functional MRI parameters following ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment. The study suggests that functional and structural MRI, in addition to lung function tests, is a suitable tool for monitoring treatment response.

The clinical impact of Lumacaftor-Ivacaftor on structural lung disease and lung function in children aged 6-11 with cystic fibrosis in a real-world setting

Paul McNally et al.

Summary: In this real-world study, the use of LUM/IVA in children aged 6-11 with CF resulted in improvements in air trapping on CT but worsening in bronchiectasis scores, suggesting that LUM/IVA treatment can improve respiratory function but cannot prevent the progression of bronchiectasis.

Clinical Effectiveness of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in People with Cystic Fibrosis

David P. Nichols et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates significant improvements in lung function, respiratory symptoms, and body mass index in CF patients using ETI therapy, regardless of their familiarity with modulators or prior drug use. Significant reductions in sweat chloride concentration were also observed, correlating with improved lung function in the overall study population.

Using chest computed tomography and unsupervised machine learning for predicting and evaluating response to lumacaftor-ivacaftor in people with cystic fibrosis

Alienor Campredon et al.

Summary: The study evaluated lung structural changes after 1 year of lumacaftor-ivacaftor treatment and identified morphological phenotypes associated with treatment response using unsupervised machine learning. The results showed significant improvement in bronchial disease on chest CT after 1-year treatment with lumacaftor-ivacaftor, and radiomics features on pre-therapeutic CT scans may help predict lung function response to the medication.

Artificial intelligence in computed tomography for quantifying lung changes in the era of CFTR modulators

Gael Dournes et al.

Summary: This study aimed to validate a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven scoring system of CF lung disease severity. The results showed that the AI-driven volumetric quantification had good correlations with visual imaging scoring and pulmonary function tests, providing a robust outcome for CF-related disease in the era of effective CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy.

Chest computed tomography improvement in patients with cystic fibrosis treated with elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor: Early report

Romain Bec et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in lung CT scans of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) after receiving elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) therapy for one year. The results showed that ETI treatment reduced mucus plugging and peribronchial thickening, improved pulmonary and sinus morphological abnormalities, and significantly improved clinical and functional parameters.

Rapid Improvement after Starting Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis and Advanced Pulmonary Disease

Pierre-Regis Burgel et al.

Summary: An observational study in France found that the use of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor in CF patients led to significant improvements in lung function and weight within a short period of time, with most patients no longer requiring long-term oxygen, noninvasive ventilation, and/or enteral tube feeding. Compared to the previous two years, there was a twofold decrease in the number of lung transplantations in CF patients in 2020.

A Phase 3 Open-Label Study of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/lvacaftor in Children 6 through 11 Years of Age with Cystic Fibrosis and at Least One F508del Allele

Edith T. Zemanick et al.

Summary: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) has been shown to be safe and efficacious in children aged 6 through 11 with at least one F508del-CFTR allele, supporting its use in this patient population. The treatment improved lung function, respiratory scores, lung clearance, sweat chloride levels, and body mass index in these children over the 24-week period. The safety and pharmacokinetic profiles were consistent with those observed in older patients.

Francois Arnaud et al.

Summary: The study conducted a retrospective observational study in two French reference centers in CF in Marseille hospitals, showing that treatment with lumacaftor-ivacaftor was associated with a significant improvement in the total CT score, mainly related to an improvement in mucous pluggings. Peribronchial wall thickening also significantly improved in the adult group.
