Cystic fibrosis modulator therapy can reverse cystic bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is often considered progressive and irreversible, so cases of regression or reversal are an important step in understanding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) is a new CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) modulator treatment, used over the last few years, which has shown an improvement in different clinical outcomes in patients with cystic ...

Long-term impact of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/ivacaftor on pulmonary, nutritional and metabolic outcomes in homozygous F508del cystic fibrosis patients: A real-world cohort study. [PDF]
Aim Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has markedly improved cystic fibrosis (CF) outcomes. However, its long‐term impact on nutrition, metabolism and liver health remains underexplored. We assessed 30‐month changes in pulmonary, nutritional, metabolic and inflammatory markers in people with CF (PwCF) homozygous for F508del.

Post-approval studies with the CFTR modulators Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor—Ivacaftor
Triple combination therapy with the CFTR modulators elexacaftor (ELX), tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) has been qualified as a game changer in cystic fibrosis (CF).

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 ...

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 ...

Colorectal Cancer Complicated by Pulmonary Embolism and Potential Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Person With Cystic Fibrosis: Diagnostic and Management Considerations. [PDF]
We describe a complex case of pulmonary embolism and dilated cardiomyopathy in a person with cystic fibrosis. These late complications occurred following laparoscopic left hemicolectomy for colonic adenocarcinoma. This case highlights the complexities of evaluating breathlessness in severe lung disease, and the management challenges that arise as life ...
