Reported Adverse Events in a Multicenter Cohort of Patients Ages 6-18 Years with Cystic Fibrosis and at Least One F508del Allele Receiving Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe reported adverse events (AEs) associated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) in a pediatric sample with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged 6-18 years, with at least one F508del variant, followed at multiple Italian CF centers.

Study Design: This was a retrospective, multicenter, observational study. All children receiving ETI therapy from October 2019 to December 2023 were included.

Cystic fibrosis and CFTR-related disorder with electrolyte imbalance at diagnosis: clinical features and outcome in an Italian cohort.

Unlabelled: There is limited information available on the clinical data, sweat test trends, and outcomes of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) who present with an isolated episode of hypoelectrolytemia with metabolic alkalosis (HMA). This study describes a cohort of Italian individuals with HMA as presenting symptom. The study is a retrospective multicenter analysis of individuals who presented with HMA as an initial symptom and was followed at 8 Italian CF Centers, from March 1988 to March 2022.

Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor as a Final Frontier in the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis: Definition of the Clinical and Microbiological Implications in a Case-Control Study.

The use of modulator drugs that target the Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is the final frontier in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a genetic multiorgan disease. F508del is the most common mutation causing defective formation and function of CFTR. Elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor is the first triple combination of CFTR modulators.

Clinical course and risk factors for severe COVID-19 among Italian patients with cystic fibrosis: a study within the Italian Cystic Fibrosis Society.

Purpose: To describe the clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to identify risk factors for severe COVID-19.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study within the Italian CF Society. CF centers collected baseline and follow-up data of patients with virologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 2020 and June 2021.

Defining research priorities in cystic fibrosis. Can existing knowledge and training in biomedical research affect the choice?

The aim of this report is to assess whether the research issues priorities are perceived differently according to the Stakeholders (SH)'s individual knowledge of research topics and degree of training in biomedical research. Four groups of SH were enrolled in this study: 1. Skilled SH, specifically trained in biomedicine; 2.
