Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators are widely used in patients with cystic fibrosis and significantly improve respiratory function and quality of life. However, their effectiveness may be limited by liver damage, which sometimes leads to treatment discontinuation, and the mechanisms underlying this remain poorly ...

Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Abstract Background Greater insight into the effects of cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane modulators such as elexacaftor‐tezacaftor‐ivacaftor (ETI) on glucose metabolism can support a more dynamic and individualised approach to CF‐related dysglycaemia.

ABSTRACT Background Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is a current standard therapy for pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF). Multiple‐breath washout 129Xe MRI (MBW Xe‐MRI) is improved following 1 month of treatment. However, the utility of MBW Xe‐MRI over extended ETI treatment and its comparison to single‐breath Xe‐MRI and pulmonary function tests ...

Clinical Use of Home Spirometry in Children With Cystic Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Background The use of home spirometry (HSPIR) has increased in pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) care, but how it has been used clinically and its impact on clinical care have not been described. The purpose of this study was to address this knowledge gap through a secondary analysis of data from a HSPIR quality improvement project to ...
