Elexacaftor–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor for Cystic Fibrosis with a Single Phe508del Allele
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, and nearly 90% of patients have at least one copy of the Phe508del CFTR mutation.

Changes in sputum viscoelastic properties and airway inflammation in primary ciliary dyskinesia are comparable to cystic fibrosis on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapy. [PDF]
Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are muco-obstructive lung diseases that are caused by distinct genetically determined defects in mucociliary clearance; however, knowledge on the relative severity of airway mucus ...

Effect of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor on systemic inflammation in cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
Background Despite significant clinical improvements, there is evidence of persisting airway inflammation in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) established on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy.

Scedosporium infection as a late complication after start of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor: two case reports [PDF]
Highly effective modulator treatment (HEMT) has resulted in an improved prognosis for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). In this case report, we present two pwCF with clinical stabilization after start of HEMT who developed complicated fungal infections

People with cystic fibrosis with high sputum neutrophil elastase on elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor exhibit worse pulmonary function and pro-inflammatory airway milieu [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting over 100,000 individuals worldwide. Lung disease is the main cause of mortality in CF, with chronic neutrophilic inflammation as a hallmark.

Real-life impact of highly effective CFTR modulator therapy in children with cystic fibrosis
Introduction: Recently, cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator modulator therapy with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has become available for children with cystic fibrosis (CF) carrying at least one F508del mutation.Objective: To assess the ...
