PURPOSE: In people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy is associated with an average improvement in FEV1 of 10-14%. However, a subset of individuals fails to achieve a clinically meaningful increase in spirometric indicators. In this study, we aimed to assess whether the lung clearance index (LCI2.5), a more sensitive indicator of lung involvement, improves following ETI initiation in this population.
METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study in a specialized CF center in Italy. PwCF performed a spirometry and a multiple breath nitrogen washout test the day they initiated ETI therapy and after 6 and 12 months. They were grouped according to the 12-month change in FEV1 into two groups: Individuals who experienced a change in FEV1 ≥ a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 3% and those who did not. Mean changes in LCI2.5 were estimated using generalized estimating equations.
RESULTS: The study included 129 pwCF who initiated ETI at our center (Age Range: 12-36 years). In 20 subjects (15.5%), the FEV1 change was < MCID. These individuals had better baseline pulmonary function than those with FEV1 changes ≥ MCID (Median FEV1: 102.5 vs 87.0%), with the majority (90%) having FEV1 values ≥ 90%. Mean changes in LCI2.5 at 12-month follow-up visit were - 1.44 units (95% CI: - 2.12; - 0.75) in individuals with changes in FEV1 < MCID and - 2.64 units (95% CI: -3.05; -2.23) in those with values ≥ MCID.
CONCLUSION: LCI2.5 is a useful measure to monitor the effectiveness of ETI in pwCF with normal spirometry and limited FEV1 change following treatment initiation.
