Overview

Observational cohort study shows improved lung function and quality of life in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting sustained benefits from therapy.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the long-term impact of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor on various health parameters in cystic fibrosis patients with the F508del mutation.
  • Single-center, observational cohort study conducted over 48 months at University Medicine Essen.
  • Followed 106 cystic fibrosis patients with at least one F508del allele receiving ETI therapy.
  • Assessed lung function, BMI, exacerbations, sweat chloride, quality of life, and laboratory parameters.
  • Mean ppFEV1 increased by 0.5 L (95% CI 0.39-0.62; p<0.001).
  • BMI rose by 0.64 kg/m² (95% CI 0.55-4.27; p<0.0001), pulmonary exacerbations decreased by 28.9% (p<0.001).
  • HbA1c decreased by 2.31% (95% CI 2.3-4.62; p<0.001) and CFQ-R total scores improved by 46.7 points (95% CI 20.3-32.6; p<0.001).
