NCT05576324

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency distribution, cytokine profile and function of peripheral, mononuclear leukocyte populations (monocytes, NK cells, T/B lymphocytes) and their correlation to clinical and biochemical parameters in patients with cystic fibrosis receiving CFTR modulatory triple therapy consisting of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor and to compare it with patients without CFTR modulatory therapy and healthy control subjects.

Study Arms (4)

longitudinal

Inclusion of patients with diagnosed CF prior ETI therapy, follow-up visit after 6 months

Drug: Elexacaftor / Ivacaftor / Tezacaftor

under ETI

Patients with diagnosed CF already receiving ETI therapy for 6 months

Drug: Elexacaftor / Ivacaftor / Tezacaftor

no ETI

Patients with diagnosed CF that have refused an ETI treatment or are not eligible for ETI therapy

Healthy Individuals

Healthy, age- and gender-matched probands

Interventions

Elexacaftor / Ivacaftor / Tezacaftor is a triple drug therapy that modulates CFTR availability at (apical) cell membranes and increases opening probability.

Also known as: ETI, Kaftrio®

Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All patients who are under the care of the CF Center Erlangen at the time of the study and who meet the inclusion criteria will be considered for the patient collective. Recruitment of healthy subjects will be performed during routine blood sampling in patients with pulmonary disease during outpatient appointments as well as during inpatient stays after prior informed consent has been obtained.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients (m/f/d) with molecularly genetically confirmed cystic fibrosis aged 6 years and older.

You may not qualify if:

  • Written informed consent
  • For study arm "Kaftrio® ongoing": Kaftrio® therapy for at least 6 months
  • For study arm "Kaftrio® longitudinal": no Kaftrio® therapy started yet
  • Use of inhaled or systemic glucocorticoids as part of a permanent medication regimen
  • Pregnancy
