Abstract
IntroductionCystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease caused by mutations in the gene located on chromosome 7 that encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein. Several trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the ELE/TEZ/IVA combination in patients who have at least one F508del mutation. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the safety at 3 and 6 months of treatment with ELE/TEZ/IVA in adult patients with CF. MethodsThis is a real-life, prospective, single-center, cross-sectional study that included adult patients from the CF multidisciplinary unit. The demographic and clinical characteristics of all patients were recorded. During the time of the study, 3 visits were carried out (baseline, at 3 and at 6 months). Side effects were recorded during the follow-up time. Results3 months after the start of treatment, a statistically significant improvement was observed. of lung function, BMI, pulmonary exacerbations and energy level, as well as in all the categories of the CFQ-R questionnaire except in the digestive domain. This improvement was maintained, but not increased at 6 months in all variables, except BMI, where differences were observed between 3 and 6 months of treatment. ConclusionsIn the cohort studied, treatment with ELE/TEZ/IVA has a good safety profile. and produces an early improvement in lung function, BMI, quality of life and the “energy level” of adult patients with CF, which is maintained at 6 months of treatment.
