WS10.03Shifts in systemic inflammatory profiles on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor predict clinical outcomes in cystic fibrosis
Objectives
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by systemic inflammation, and CFTR modulators such as elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) may influence immune responses in addition to clinical outcomes. This study investigated how ETI alters systemic cytokine levels and whether these changes independently predict clinical outcomes in people living with CF (pwCF).
Methods
Serum levels of eight cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-13, IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-10, and IL-1β) were measured in 90 pwCF before and after six months on ETI. Cytokines were reported using medians, and clinical outcomes (ppFEV1, exacerbation frequency) using means. Paired t-tests were used to analyse log-transformed cytokine levels, and multivariate regression models to assess cytokine changes as independent predictors of clinical outcomes.
Results
ETI led to reductions in TNF-α, IL-6, IL-13, IL-8, IL-17A and IL-1β (from 0.54 to 0.45; 1.52 to 0.61; 0.98 to 0.69; 23.78 to 13.35. 8.74 to 3.18 and 0.11 to 0.03 pg/mL respectively; all p<0.0001). IFN-γ increased (4.77 to 6.03 pg/mL, p<0.05), while IL-10 remained unchanged (0.42 to 0.41 pg/mL, p=0.214). Clinical outcomes improved, with ppFEV1 increasing from 80.49% to 89.79% and exacerbation frequency dropping from 1.78 to 0.50 episodes/year (both p<0.0001). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that increase in IFNy and decrease in IL-6 predicted ppFEV1 increase, whereas increase in IL-10 and decrease in IL-1b predicted reductions in exacerbation frequency. Adjusted R² values were 0.406 for ppFEV1 and 0.799 for exacerbation frequency.
Conclusion
In pwCF on ETI, greater reductions in pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6 and IL-1β) and larger increases in immunomodulatory cytokines (e.g. IL-10 and IFN-γ) independently predict better ppFEV1 and fewer exacerbations. These findings highlight ETI's dual role as a therapeutic and immune-modulating agent, supporting use of cytokine profiling for personalised CF care.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
