Abstract
Rationale: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) was shown to be safe and efficacious in children 6 through 11 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) and at least one F508del allele in a 24-week phase 3 study. Children completing this study could enroll into a 192-week extension study.
Objectives: Evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in children ≥6 years.
Methods: In this 2-part (Part A [96-weeks] and Part B [96-weeks]) phase 3 extension study, children <12 years weighing <30 kg received ELX 100 mg once daily (qd)/TEZ 50 mg qd/IVA 75 mg every 12 hours (q12h) and children weighing ≥ 30 kg or aged ≥12 years received ELX 200 mg qd/TEZ 100 mg qd/IVA 150 mg q12h.
Measurements and main results: Sixty-four children (F/MF [n=36] and F/F [n=28]) received ≥ 1 dose of ELX/TEZ/IVA. Mean exposure was 156.2 weeks and 60.9% of children (n=39) completed treatment in both parts of this 192-week study. The primary endpoint was safety. All children had adverse events (AEs), which for most were mild (31.3%) or moderate (64.1%) and generally consistent with common manifestations of CF. Two children (3.1%) had non-serious AEs that lead to treatment discontinuation (increased alanine aminotransferase [n=1] and aggression [n=1]). Secondary endpoints focused on efficacy. From parent study baseline, improvements were seen in ppFEV1 (9.6 percentage points; 95% CI: 5.4, 13.7), sweat chloride concentration (-57.9 mmol/L; 95% CI: -63.3, -52.5), CFQ-R respiratory domain score (10.0 points; 95% CI: 6.9, 13.0), LCI2.5 (-2.33; 95% CI: -2.87, -1.79), and BMI z-score (0.39; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.59) at Week 192. Rate of pulmonary exacerbations per year was 0.05. The annualized rate of change in ppFEV1 and LCI2.5 was -0.09 percentage points (95% CI: -1.01, 0.84) and -0.07 units (95%CI: -0.12, -0.01), respectively.
Conclusions: In this 4-year extension study in children ≥6 years, the longest clinical trial experience with a CFTR modulator in this pediatric population, ELX/TEZ/IVA remained generally safe and well-tolerated with no new safety findings. Clinically meaningful improvements in lung function, CFTR function, and nutritional status reported in the parent study were maintained. These results confirm the long-term safety and efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in children ≥6 years.

期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine focuses on human biology and disease, as well as animal studies that contribute to the understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system and critically ill patients. Papers that are solely or predominantly based in cell and molecular biology are published in the companion journal, the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. The Journal also seeks to publish clinical trials and outstanding review articles on areas of interest in several forms. The State-of-the-Art review is a treatise usually covering a broad field that brings bench research to the bedside. Shorter reviews are published as Critical Care Perspectives or Pulmonary Perspectives. These are generally focused on a more limited area and advance a concerted opinion about care for a specific process. Concise Clinical Reviews provide an evidence-based synthesis of the literature pertaining to topics of fundamental importance to the practice of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Images providing advances or unusual contributions to the field are published as Images in Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine and the Sciences.
A recent trend and future direction of the Journal has been to include debates of a topical nature on issues of importance in pulmonary and critical care medicine and to the membership of the American Thoracic Society. Other recent changes have included encompassing works from the field of critical care medicine and the extension of the editorial governing of journal policy to colleagues outside of the United States of America. The focus and direction of the Journal is to establish an international forum for state-of-the-art respiratory and critical care medicine.
