Elexacaftor–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor for Cystic Fibrosis with a Single Phe508del Allele
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUNDCystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, and nearly 90% of patients have at least one copy of the Phe508del CFTR mutation.In a phase 2 trial involving patients who were heterozygous for the Phe508del CFTR mutation and a minimalfunction mutation (Phe508del-minimal function genotype), the next-generation CFTR corrector elexacaftor, in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor, improved Phe508del CFTR function and clinical outcomes. METHODSWe conducted a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor in patients 12 years of age or older with cystic fibrosis with Phe508del-minimal function genotypes.Patients were randomly assigned to receive elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor or placebo for 24 weeks.The primary end point was absolute change from baseline in percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) at week 4. RESULTSA total of 403 patients underwent randomization and received at least one dose of active treatment or placebo.Elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor, relative to placebo, resulted in a percentage of predicted FEV 1 that was 13.8 points higher at 4 weeks and 14.3 points higher through 24 weeks, a rate of pulmonary exacerbations that was 63% lower, a respiratory domain score on the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (range, 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher patient-reported quality of life with regard to respiratory symptoms; minimum clinically important difference, 4 points) that was 20.2 points higher, and a sweat chloride concentration that was 41.8 mmol per liter lower (P<0.001for all comparisons).Elexacaftortezacaftor-ivacaftor was generally safe and had an acceptable side-effect profile.Most patients had adverse events that were mild or moderate.Adverse events leading to discontinuation of the trial regimen occurred in 1% of the patients in the elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor group. CONCLUSIONSElexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor was efficacious in patients with cystic fibrosis with Phe508del-minimal function genotypes, in whom previous CFTR modulator regimens were ineffective.(Funded by Vertex Pharmaceuticals; VX17-445-102 ClinicalTrials.govnumber, NCT03525444.

TL;DR
In a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor improved lung function, pulmonary exacerbation rate, respiratory symptoms, sweat chloride, and BMI in patients with cystic fibrosis and Phe508del–minimal function genotypes. The regimen was generally safe, with adverse events mostly mild or moderate.
Key findings
- Elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor increased percentage of predicted FEV1 by 13.8 points at week 4 and 14.3 points through week 24 relative to placebo (P<0.001 for both).
- The annualized rate of pulmonary exacerbations was 63% lower with active treatment than placebo (rate ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.55; P<0.001).
- CFQ-R respiratory domain score improved by 20.2 points and sweat chloride concentration decreased by 41.8 mmol per liter relative to placebo through week 24 (P<0.001 for both); BMI improved by 1.04 (P<0.001).
- Adverse events occurred in 93.1% of the elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor group and 96.0% of the placebo group; 1% of active-treatment patients discontinued because of adverse events, and there were no deaths.
Methods
- Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at 115 sites in 13 countries; 405 patients underwent randomization and 403 received at least one dose (200 active, 203 placebo).
- Eligible patients were 12 years of age or older with cystic fibrosis and Phe508del–minimal function genotypes, screening ppFEV1 40 to 90%, and stable disease during a 28-day screening period; patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor or placebo for 24 weeks.
- The primary end point was absolute change from baseline in ppFEV1 at week 4, analyzed with a mixed-effects model for repeated measures; pulmonary exacerbations were analyzed with negative binomial regression.
Limitations
- The paper does not include a formal limitations section.
- Evident from the text: the intervention period was 24 weeks, so long-term durability and safety beyond 24 weeks are not established; patients could enroll in an ongoing 96-week open-label extension.
- Evident from the text: eligibility was restricted to patients 12 years or older with Phe508del–minimal function genotypes and screening ppFEV1 40 to 90%, limiting generalizability to younger children, other CFTR genotypes, or patients outside that lung-function range.

The in vitro Results report greater chloride transport with the triple combination than with one- or two-drug treatments. Our copy does not identify VX-445 by the name elexacaftor, so that specific identification cannot be verified from this source alone. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-04, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-04 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
