Real-life acute lung function changes after lumacaftor/ivacaftor first administration in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis

Abstract: The combination of lumacaftor and ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) has been reported to induce a mean acute absolute drop of -4.1% predicted forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV) after a unique administration in healthy subjects. The aim of the present study was to assess acute FEV changes after the first dose of LUM/IVA in CF patients. A total of 32 pediatric patients were included. Respiratory manifestations occurred in only 3 patients (9.4%), but FEV consistently decreased (-10.4±4.6%, range: -1.5; -21.8%). FEV only part… Show more

“…When comparing post-dose versus pre-dose spirometry measurements in the current studies no significant differences were observed, indicating a lack of bronchoconstriction. This is reassuring as such effects (chest tightness, dyspnea) have been reported in some subjects and healthy volunteers receiving their first administration of lumacaftor/ivacaftor [7,8,21,22]. There were no permanent discontinuations of GLPG2222 due to TEAEs in either of the present studies.…”

“…Following LUM/IVA dosing on day 1, participants' mean post-dose FEV 1 % pred was −5.5% at ⩽2 h, −7.7% at 4-6 h and −4.1 at 24 h [26]. A real-life study similarly found an acute drop in lung function in LUM/IVA-treated children aged 15.5±1.6 years with a wide range of initial lung function, which was inversely correlated with initial FEV 1 % pred and directly correlated with bronchodilator reversibility [27].…”

“…Improvements in lung function in patients homozygous for F508del were generally comparable to or numerically greater than those observed in patients treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor in the phase 3, 24-week TRAFFIC/TRANSPORT studies (26). Treatment initiation with lumacaftor/ivacaftor is sometimes associated with respiratory events and acute lung function decline (26)(27)(28)(29)(30), which can restrict the number of patients willing to start treatment. The improved benefit-to-risk profile makes tezacaftor/ivacaftor a potential treatment option for a greater proportion of patients homozygous for F508del.…”
