“…In line with the initial randomized study that assessed the lumacaftor-ivacaftor treatment effects on respiratory and nutritional status in CF [5] , along with a real-life study [19] , our data clearly revealed a positive lumacaftor-ivacaftor treatment impact on nutritional and pulmonary parameters. After one-year lumacaftor-ivacaftor treatment in 40 patients, we observed a significant increase in BMI and albuminemia levels, reflecting an improved nutritional status, as well as a decrease in percentage of patients who received at least one IV antibiotic course/year.…”

“…[24][25][26] p.F508del is the most frequent CFTR variant in Caucasians, accounting for approximately 70% of mutated alleles in general. 27 However, it is quite rare in Asian populations. p.F508del was observed only once in China (in heterozygosity), 26 and no cases have ever been reported in Japan, or Korea so far (except for mixed Asian-Caucasian parentage).…”

“…Ivacaftor withdrawal resulted in accelerated deterioration of lung function consistent with a pulmonary exacerbation episode in a case series (Trimble and Donaldson, 2018). Patients who discontinued treatment with lumacaftor/ ivacaftor, mainly due to early adverse effects, also demonstrated a higher risk of worsening clinical manifestations compared to patients who continued treatment or those who restarted it after temporary discontinuation in a real-world study (Burgel et al, 2020). As patients have different lifestyles and socioeconomic conditions, the development of educational and motivational interventions at an individual level may help in ensuring optimal adherence to achieve the greatest clinical outcomes.…”
