RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A significant decline in pulmonary exacerbation rates has been reported in CF patients homozygous for F508del treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor. However, it is still unclear whether this reduction reflects a diminished microbiological burden. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor on the bacterial and fungal burden. DESIGN: The study is a prospective multicenter cohort study including 132 CF patients homozygous for F508del treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor. METHODS: Clinical parameters as well as bacterial and fungal outcomes 1 year after initiation of lumacaftor/ivacaftor were compared to data from 2 years prior to initiation of the treatment. Changes in the slope of the outcomes before and after the onset of treatment were assessed. RESULTS: Lung function measured as ppFEV1 (p < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) in adults (p < 0.001), and BMI z-score in children (p = 0.007) were improved after initiation of lumacaftor/ivacaftor. In addition, the slope of the prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae (p = 0.007) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (p < 0.001) shifted from positive to negative, that is, became less prevalent, 1 year after treatment, while the slope for Candida albicans (p = 0.009), Penicillium spp (p = 0.026), and Scedosporium apiospermum (p < 0.001) shifted from negative to positive. CONCLUSION: The current study showed a significant improvement in clinical parameters and a reduction of some of CF respiratory microorganisms 1 year after starting with lumacaftor/ivacaftor. However, no significant changes were observed for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, or Aspergillus fumigatus, key pathogens in the CF context.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Modulator therapies that seek to correct the underlying defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) have revolutionized the clinical landscape. Given the heterogeneous nature of lung disease progression in the post-modulator era, there is a need to develop prediction models that are robust to modulator uptake. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of the CF Foundation Patient Registry (N = 867 patients carrying the G551D mutation who were treated with ivacaftor from 2003 to 2018). The primary outcome was lung function (percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s or FEV1pp). To characterize the association between ivacaftor initiation and lung function, we developed a dynamic prediction model through covariate selection of demographic and clinical characteristics. The ability of the selected model to predict a decline in lung function, clinically known as an FEV1-indicated exacerbation signal (FIES), was evaluated both at the population level and individual level. RESULTS: Based on the final model, the estimated improvement in FEV1pp after ivacaftor initiation was 4.89% predicted (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.90 to 5.89). The rate of decline was reduced with ivacaftor initiation by 0.14% predicted/year (95% CI: 0.01 to 0.27). More frequent outpatient visits prior to study entry and being male corresponded to a higher overall FEV1pp. Pancreatic insufficiency, older age at study entry, a history of more frequent pulmonary exacerbations, lung infections, CF-related diabetes, and use of Medicaid insurance corresponded to lower FEV1pp. The model had excellent predictive accuracy for FIES events with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.83 to 0.84) for the independent testing cohort and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.89 to 0.90) for 6-month forecasting with the masked cohort. The root-mean-square errors of the FEV1pp predictions for these cohorts were 7.31% and 6.78% predicted, respectively, with standard deviations of 0.29 and 0.20. The predictive accuracy was robust across different covariate specifications. CONCLUSIONS: The methods and applications of dynamic prediction models developed using data prior to modulator uptake have the potential to inform post-modulator projections of lung function and enhance clinical surveillance in the new era of CF care.

RESUMEN

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, with F508del being the most prevalent mutation. The combination of CFTR modulators (potentiator and correctors) has provided benefit to CF patients carrying the F508del mutation; however, the safety and effectiveness of in utero combination modulator therapy remains unclear. We created a F508del ferret model to test whether ivacaftor/lumacaftor (VX-770/VX-809) therapy can rescue in utero and postnatal pathologies associated with CF. Using primary intestinal organoids and air-liquid interface cultures of airway epithelia, we demonstrate that the F508del mutation in ferret CFTR results in a severe folding and trafficking defect, which can be partially restored by treatment with CFTR modulators. In utero treatment of pregnant jills with ivacaftor/lumacaftor prevented meconium ileus at birth in F508del kits and sustained postnatal treatment of CF offspring improved survival and partially protected from pancreatic insufficiency. Withdrawal of ivacaftor/lumacaftor treatment from juvenile CF ferrets reestablished pancreatic and lung diseases, with altered pulmonary mechanics. These findings suggest that in utero intervention with a combination of CFTR modulators may provide therapeutic benefits to individuals with F508del. This CFTR-F508del ferret model may be useful for testing therapies using clinically translatable endpoints.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Traditional cystic fibrosis (CF) care had been focused on early intervention and symptom mitigation. With the advent of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy (HEMT), in particular, the approval of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor in 2019, there has been a dramatic improvement in outcomes in CF. The purpose of this article is to review the benefits, limitations, and impact of HEMT as well as discuss the new implications, challenges, and hope that modulators bring to people with CF (pwCF). RECENT FINDINGS: HEMT has demonstrated sustained improvement in lung function, nutrition, quality of life, and survival for over 90% of pwCF. As HEMT has delivered such promise, there is a small but significant portion of pwCF who do not benefit from HEMT due to ineligible mutations, intolerance, or lack of accessibility to modulators. SUMMARY: HEMT has significantly improved outcomes, but continued research is needed to understand the new challenges and implications the era of HEMT will bring, as well as how to provide equitable care to those who are unable to benefit from HEMT.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Elexacaftor in combination with Tezacaftor and Ivacaftor (ETI) became licensed in the United Kingdom in early 2022 for children aged 6-11 years with cystic fibrosis (CF) and an eligible mutation. Many in this age group have excellent prior lung health making quantitative measurement of benefit challenging. Clinical trials purport that lung clearance index (LCI2.5) measurement is most suitable for this purpose. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to understand the clinical utility of LCI2.5 in detecting change after commencing ETI in the real world. PATIENT SELECTION/METHODS: Baseline anthropometric data were collected along with spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1], forced vital capacityFV and LCI2.5 measures in children aged 6-11 years with CF before starting ETI. Measures were repeated after a mean (range) of 8.2 (7-14) months of ETI treatment. The primary endpoint was a change in LCI2.5, with secondary endpoints including change in FEV1 and change in body mass index (BMI) also reported. RESULTS: Twelve children were studied (seven male, mean age 9.5 years at baseline). Our study population had a mean (SD) LCI2.5 of 7.01 (1.14) and FEV1 of 96 (13) %predicted at baseline. Mean (95% confidence interval) changes in LCI2.5 [-0.7 (-1.4, 0), p = .06] and BMI [+0.7 (+0.1, +1.3), p = .03] were observed, along with changes in FEV1 of +3.1 (-1.9, +8.1) %predicted. CONCLUSIONS: Real-world changes in LCI2.5 (-0.7) are different to those reported in clinical trials (-2.29). Lower baseline LCI2.5 as a result of prior modulator exposure, high baseline lung health, and new LCI2.5 software analyses all contribute to lower LCI2.5 values being recorded in the real world of children with CF.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Our work aims to add evidence on the effectiveness of Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor on chronic rhinosinusitis in cystic fibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted an observational retrospective cohort study at the Cystic Fibrosis Center of a tertiary care hospital to investigate the effect of Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor on chronic rhinosinusitis in cystic fibrosis patients, aged 12 or older. The study's endpoints were the change in the occurrence of acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis, and the variation of the endoscopic and radiologic findings scored using the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scale, Lund-Mackay, and modified Lund-Mackay radiologic scales, in patients who underwent both pre-treatment and post-treatment examinations. RESULTS: The study population comprised 136 patients, of which 28 underwent both pre-treatment and post-treatment nasal endoscopy and 15 had pre- and post-treatment CT scans. Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor provided a significant improvement in chronic rhinosinusitis. The mean number of acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis per year in the pre-treatment time was 0.55 versus 0.35 during the treatment (p < 0.0021). The Lund-Kennedy scale had a pre-treatment average score of 4.21 points versus 1.5 points after the start of Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor (p < 0.0001). The average Lund-Mackay and modified Lund-Mackay scores in the pre-treatment time were respectively 14.6 and 16.45 points; and after the start of the therapy, they became 5.87 and 6.73 (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor was associated with fewer acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis, and a significant improvement of chronic rhinosinusitis evaluated endoscopically and radiologically. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the change in the occurrence of acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients affected by cystic fibrosis in therapy with Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated early onset and progression of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) from infancy to school age, and response to lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) therapy in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the effect of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) on CRS detected by MRI in children with CF and at least one F508del mutation, and potential incremental effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA compared to LUM/IVA in F508del homozygous children have not been studied. METHODS: 30 children with CF with at least one F508del mutation underwent three longitudinal paranasal sinus MRI before (MRI1), without (n = 16) or with LUM/IVA therapy (n = 14, MRI2), and with ELX/TEZ/IVA therapy (MRI3, mean age at therapy initiation 11.1 ± 3.4y, range 6-16y). MRI were evaluated using the CRS-MRI score. RESULTS: After therapy initiation with ELX/TEZ/IVA, the prevalence and in maxillary and sphenoid sinuses the dominance of mucopyoceles decreased (35% vs. 0 %, p<0.001 and 26% vs. 8 %, p < 0.05, respectively). This leads to a reduction in mucopyocele subscore (-3.4 ± 1.9, p < 0.001), and sinus subscores in MRI3 (maxillary sinus: -5.3 ± 3.1, p < 0.001, frontal sinus: -1.0 ± 1.9, p < 0.01, sphenoid subscore: -2.8 ± 3.5, p < 0.001, ethmoid sinus: -1.7 ± 1.9, p < 0.001). The CRS-MRI sum score decreased after therapy initiation with ELX/TEZ/IVA by -9.6 ± 5.5 score points (p < 0.001). The strength in reduction of mucopyoceles subscore and CRS-MRI sum score was independent of a pretreatment with LUM/IVA from MRI1-MRI2 (p = 0.275-0.999). CONCLUSIONS: ELX/TEZ/IVA therapy leads to improvement of CRS in eligible children with CF. Our data support the role of MRI for comprehensive monitoring of CRS disease severity and response to therapy in children with CF.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (E/T/I) is highly effective clinically for those with at least one F508del-CFTR allele. The effects of E/T/I on mucociliary clearance (MCC) and sputum properties are unknown. We, therefore, sought to characterize the effects of E/T/I on in vivo MCC and sputum characteristics hypothesized to impact mucus transport. METHODS: Forty-four participants ≥12 years of age were enrolled into this prospective, observational trial prior to initiation of E/T/I and had baseline measurement of MCC and characterization of induced sputum and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) samples. Study procedures were repeated after 1 month of E/T/I treatment. RESULTS: Average age was 27.7 years with baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 78.2 % predicted. 52 % of subjects had previously been treated with a 2-drug CFTR modulator combination. The average whole lung MCC rate measured over 60 min (WLAveClr60) significantly improved from baseline to post-E/T/I (14.8 vs. 22.8 %; p = 0.0002), as did other MCC indices. Sputum% solids also improved (modeled mean 3.4 vs. 2.2 %; p<0.0001), whereas non-significant reductions in sputum macrorheology (G', G") were observed. No meaningful changes in exhaled breath condensate endpoints (sialic acid:urea ratio, pH) were observed. CONCLUSIONS: E/T/I improved the hydration of respiratory secretions (% solids) and markedly accelerated MCC. These data confirm the link between CFTR function, mucus solid content, and MCC and help to define the utility of MCC and mucus-related bioassays in future efforts to restore CFTR function in all people with CF.

RESUMEN

Cystic fibrosis is a multiorgan disease caused by impaired function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Since the introduction of the CFTR modulator combination elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), which acts directly on mutant CFTR to enhance its activity, most people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) have seen pronounced reductions in symptoms, and studies project marked increases in life expectancy for pwCF who are eligible for ETI. However, modulator therapy has not cured cystic fibrosis and the success of CFTR modulators has resulted in immediate questions about the new state of cystic fibrosis disease and clinical challenges in the care of pwCF. In this Series paper, we summarise key questions about cystic fibrosis disease in the era of modulator therapy, highlighting state-of-the-art research and clinical practices, knowledge gaps, new challenges faced by pwCF and the potential for future health-care challenges, and the pressing need for additional therapies to treat the underlying genetic or molecular causes of cystic fibrosis.

RESUMEN

Rationale: Clinical trials have shown that use of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is associated with improvements in sweat chloride, pulmonary function, nutrition, and quality of life in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Little is known about the impact of ETI on ventilation inhomogeneity and lung structure. Objectives: RECOVER is a real-world study designed to measure the impact of ETI in people with CF. The primary endpoints were lung clearance (lung clearance index; LCI2.5) and FEV1. Secondary endpoints included spirometry-controlled chest computed tomography (CT) scores. Methods: The study was conducted in seven sites in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Participants ages 12 years and older who were homozygous for the F508del mutation (F508del/F508del) or heterozygous for F508del and a minimum-function mutation (F508del/MF) were recruited before starting ETI and were followed up over 12 months. LCI2.5 was measured using nitrogen multiple breath washout (MBW) at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. Spirometry was performed as per the criteria of the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society. Spirometry-controlled chest CT scans were performed at baseline and at 12 months. CT scans were scored using the Perth Rotterdam Annotated Grid Morphometric Analysis (PRAGMA) system. Other outcome measures include weight, height, Cystic Fibrosis Quality of Life Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R), and sweat chloride. Measurements and Main Results: One hundred seventeen people with CF ages 12 and older were recruited to the study. Significant improvements were seen in LCI scores (-2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], -3.0, -2.0) and in the percents predicted for FEV1 (8.9; 95% CI, 7.0, 10.9), FVC (6.6; 95% CI, 4.9, 8.3), and forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of expired volume (12.4; 95% CI, 7.8, 17.0). Overall PRAGMA-CF scores reflecting airway disease improved significantly (-3.46; 95% CI, -5.23, -1.69). Scores for trapped air, mucus plugging, and bronchial wall thickening improved significantly, but bronchiectasis scores did not. Sweat chloride levels decreased in both F508del/F508del (-43.1; 95% CI, -47.4, -38.9) and F508del/MF (-42.8; 95% CI, -48.5, -37.2) groups. Scores on the Respiratory Domain of the CFQ-R improved by 14.2 points (95% CI, 11.3, 17.2). At 1 year, sweat chloride levels were significantly lower for the F508del/F508del group compared with scores for the F508del/MF group (33.93 vs. 53.36, P < 0.001). Conclusions: ETI is associated with substantial improvements in LCI2.5, spirometry, and PRAGMA-CF CT scores in people with CF ages 12 years and older. ETI led to improved nutrition and quality of life. People in the F508del/F508del group had significantly lower sweat chloride on ETI treatment compared with the F508del/MF group. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04602468).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF). Although the combination cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators lumacaftor/ivacaftor and tezacaftor/ivacaftor have been shown to reduce PEx frequency, their influence on clinical and biochemical responses to acute PEx treatment is unknown. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of STOP2, a large multicenter randomized controlled trial of antimicrobial treatment durations for adult PWCF presenting with PEx. Propensity score matching was used to compare outcomes in antibiotic-treated F508del/F508del PWCF receiving lumacaftor/ivacaftor or tezacaftor/ivacaftor with those observed in antibiotic-treated F508del/F508del controls not receiving CFTR modulator therapy. The primary outcome measure was the change in percent predicted FEV1 (ppFEV1) following completion of intravenous (IV) antibiotics, with post-antibiotic changes in symptoms, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and weight included as secondary endpoints. RESULTS: Among 982 PEx events in randomized PWCF, 480 were homozygous for F508del, of whom 289 were receiving lumacaftor/ivacaftor or tezacaftor/ivacaftor at initiation of antibiotic therapy. Modulator-treated F508del/F508del PWCF did not demonstrate greater improvements in ppFEV1, symptoms, serum CRP or weight following antibiotic treatment compared to modulator-naïve controls matched for age, sex, baseline ppFEV1, genotype, body mass index, initial CRP, initial symptoms, exacerbation history, diabetic status, randomization arm and concomitant medical therapy. CONCLUSION: In the acute setting, CFTR modulator therapy with lumacaftor/ivacaftor or tezacaftor/ivacaftor does not convey additional clinical or biochemical advantage above standardized PEx treatment in F508del/F508del PWCF.

RESUMEN

Cystic fibrosis (CF) causes infertility and subfertility due to various factors, including altered cervical mucus, delayed puberty, and hormonal imbalances. With the introduction of the CFTR modulator therapy elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor, we have observed an increase in unplanned pregnancies among women undergoing ETI treatment in our CF center, despite repeated recommendations for strict fertility monitoring. It appears that these pregnancies are more likely attributed to reduced attention to the possibility of conception rather than contraceptive failure. The perception of subfertility developed by women with CF over time, before the era of modulators, can influence their long-term habits and lead to the underuse of contraceptive methods. While further research is needed to fully understand the effects of ETI on fertility, healthcare providers should be attentive to the fertility concerns of women with CF, particularly those treated with modulators in adulthood.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by mucus accumulation impairing the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators (ivacaftor, tezacaftor, elexacaftor, and lumacaftor) significantly improve lung function and nutritional status; however, they are substrates, inhibitors, and/or inducers of certain CYP enzymes and transporters, raising the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDI) with common CF medications. AREAS COVERED: A literature search was conducted for DDIs involving CFTR modulators by reviewing new drug applications, drug package inserts, clinical studies, and validated databases of substrates, inhibitors, and inducers. Clinically, CYP3A inducers and inhibitors significantly decrease and increase systemic concentrations of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, respectively. Additionally, lumacaftor and ivacaftor alter concentrations of CYP3A and P-gp substrates. Potential DDIs without current clinical evidence include ivacaftor and elexacaftor's effect on CYP2C9 and OATP1B1/3 substrates, respectively, and OATP1B1/3 and P-gp inhibitors' effect on tezacaftor. A literature review was conducted using PubMed. EXPERT OPINION: Dosing recommendations for CFTR modulators with DDIs are relatively comprehensive; however, recommendations on timing of dosing transition of CFTR modulators when CYP3A inhibitors are initiated or discontinued is incomplete. Certain drug interactions may be managed by choosing an alternative treatment to avoid/minimize DDIs. Next generation CFTR modulator therapies under development are expected to provide increased activity with reduced DDI risk.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) significantly improves health outcomes in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) carrying one or two F508del mutations. According to in vitro assays performed in FRT cells, 178 additional mutations respond to ELX/TEZ/IVA. The N1303K mutation is not included in this list of mutations. Recent in vitro data suggested that ELX/TEZ/IVA increases N1303K-CFTR activity. Based on the in vitro response, eight patients commenced treatment with ELX/TEZ/IVA. METHODS: Two homozygotes; and six compound heterozygotes N1303K/nonsense or frameshift mutation pwCF were treated off label with ELX/TEZ/IVA. Clinical data before and 8 weeks after starting treatment were prospectively collected. The response to ELX/TEZ/IVA was assessed in intestinal organoids derived from 5 study patients and an additional patient carrying N1303K that is not receiving treatment. RESULTS: Compared to the values before commencing treatment, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second increased by 18.4 percentage points and 26.5% relative to baseline, mean BMI increased by 0.79 Kg/m2, and mean lung clearance index decreased by 3.6 points and 22.2%. There was no significant change in sweat chloride. Nasal potential difference normalized in four patients and remained abnormal in three. Results in 3D intestinal organoids and 2D nasal epithelial cultures showed a response in CFTR channel activity. CONCLUSIONS: This report supports the previously reported in vitro data, performed in human nasal and bronchial epithelial cells and intestinal organoids, that pwCF who carry the N1303K mutation have a significant clinical benefit by ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment.
