Quantitative Systems Toxicology Predicts Ivacaftor-Induced Oxidative Stress Contributes to CFTR Modulator Hepatotoxicity. [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic hereditary disease that affects tens of thousands of people worldwide. The introduction of CFTR modulator therapies such as elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has significantly improved the quality of life of people with CF.

Efficacy and Safety of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in Children 6 Through 11 Years of Age with Cystic Fibrosis Heterozygous for F508del and a Minimal Function Mutation: A Phase 3b, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study [PDF]
Rationale: The triple-combination regimen elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) was shown to be safe and efficacious in children aged 6 through 11 years with cystic fibrosis and at least one F508del-CFTR allele in a phase 3, open-label, single ...

CFTR Modulators in People with Cystic Fibrosis: Real-World Evidence in France
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic multisystemic disease, the manifestations of which are due to mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein and can lead to respiratory insufficiency and premature death ...

3D Automated Segmentation of Bronchial Abnormalities on Ultrashort Echo Time MRI: A Quantitative MR Outcome in Cystic Fibrosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) monitoring relies on computed tomography (CT), but ultra‐short echo time MRI (UTE‐MRI) offers a radiation‐free alternative. However, its clinical adoption is hindered by the laborious and subjective manual analysis, which prevents standardized quantification of bronchial abnormalities.

Gene Therapy: A Possible Alternative to CFTR Modulators?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disease that affects several organs, but lung disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. The gene responsible for CF, the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene, has been ...

The validated French CFAbd-Score reveals a lower burden of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Multiorgan abdominal involvement is a hallmark of Cystic fibrosis (CF). The CFAbd‐Score© is the first CF‐specific gastrointestinal patient reported outcome‐measure (PROM) developed following FDA‐guidelines. The PROM has proved to sensitively differentiate people with CF (pwCF) from healthy controls (HC).
