Modulator Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis Patients with cis Variants in F508del Complex Allele: A Short-Term Observational Case Series
JOURNAL OF PERSONALIZED MEDICINE(2022)
摘要
Previous studies reported the influence of cis variants in F508del cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in their responses to CFTR modulators. The current study is a prospective, observational study involving three patients with CF and pancreatic insufficiency, carrying a complex allele including F508del with A238V, I1027T, or L467F. We report clinical data before and after 4 weeks of treatment with tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA), elexacaftor (ELX)/TEZ/IVA, and lumacaftor (LUM)/IVA for patients with complex alleles A238V, I1027T, and L467F, respectively. The 50-year-old patient bearing F508del;A238V/D1152H showed a normal sweat test (13 mEq/L) and improvements in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (+7 points), body mass index (BMI) (+0.85), and respiratory CF Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) domain (+22.2 points). The 12-year-old patient bearing F508del;I1027T/R709X showed an improvement in a sweat test (-40 mEq/1), FEV1 (+9 points) and the respiratory CFQ-R domain (+16.7 points). No changes in outcomes were observed for the 6-year-old patient F508del;L467F/F508del. Our data highlight that the reported variants do not modify the phenotypic expression of F508del. Searching L467F is crucial in CF patients with F508del nonresponsive to ELX/TEZ /IVA. Further data are needed to evaluate the clinical effect of these variants after a longer follow up.
