INTRODUCTION: A triple combination of CFTR modulators ELE/TEZ/IVA (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, Trikafta™) has been evaluated in clinical trials for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) and was approved to the European and US market. During registration and settling reimbursement in Europe, it could be requested on a compassionate use basis, for patients with advanced lung disease (ppFEV1  < 40).

AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate 2 years of experience with the clinical and radiological response of ELE/TEZ/IVA in pwCF in a compassionate use setting.

METHODS: pwCF who started ELE/TEZ/IVA in a compassionate use setting were prospectively followed with assessment of spirometry, BMI, chest CT, CFQ-R and sweat chloride concentration (SCC) before start and after 3 months. Furthermore, spirometry, sputum cultures, and BMI were repeated after 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

RESULTS: Eighteen patients were eligible for this evaluation, nine with F508del/F508del genotype (eight of whom were using dual CFTR modulators) and nine with F508del/minimal function mutation. After 3 months, mean change in SCC was -44.9 (p ≤ 0.001), together with significant improvement in CT (change in Brody score: -28.27 p ≤ 0.001) and CFQ-R results (change in respiratory domain: +18.8, p = 0.002). After 24 months, ppFEV1 change was +8.89 (p = 0.002), BMI had improved by +1.53 kg/m2 (p ≤ 0.001) and exacerbation rate declined from 5.94 in 24 months before start to 1.17 (p ≤ 0.001) in the 24 months after.

CONCLUSION: pwCF with advanced lung disease experience relevant clinical benefit after 2 years of treatment with ELE/TEZ/IVA in a compassionate use setting. Structural lung damage, quality of life, exacerbation rate, and BMI improved significantly with treatment. Gain in ppFEV1 is lower compared to the phase III trials that included younger patients with moderately affected lung function.
