EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS43022
Official titleReal-World Effects and Utilisation Patterns of Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor, and Ivacaftor Combination Therapy (ELX/TEZ/IVA) in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Study title acronym
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyCystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease with serious, chronically debilitating morbidities, and high premature mortality. ELX/TEZ/IVA is currently indicated for treatment of CF in patients 12 years and older in the EU who have specified CFTR mutations. This 5-year observational post-authorisation safety study (PASS) will evaluate safety, effectiveness / CF disease progression, and pregnancy outcomes in patients with CF who are treated with ELX/TEZ/IVA, as well as its drug utilisation patterns using observational cohorts of patients receiving therapy in a real-world setting. Existing CF registries provide an established source to obtain data on long term effects in real world use for analysis. In the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (CFFPR) and German CF Registry, within-cohort evaluation of outcomes in the 5-year periods before and after treatment initiation will be performed. Evaluation of the outcome patterns and trends in the 5-year pre-treatment period will place into context the outcome patterns and trends observed in the post-treatment period. In addition, the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry (ECFSPR) will be used to provide additional information for the evaluation of drug utilisation patterns in the European region. Information regarding the safety profile of the therapy under the real-world conditions of use will be informative to patients, caregivers, and prescribers. Existing CF registries provide an established source from which to obtain these data.
