Abstract

Background: LUM/IVA is approved to treat the underlying cause of CF in pwCF homozygous for F508del (F/F).

Aims and objectives: This ongoing 5-year safety surveillance study evaluates safety and disease progression in F/F pwCF treated with LUM/IVA in the real world.

Methods: This interim analysis included safety and disease progression cohorts of pwCF in the US CFFPR aged ≥2 y treated with LUM/IVA in 2019 and pwCF aged ≥6 y treated with LUM/IVA from 2015 or 2016 through 2019, respectively. Outcomes were compared to a concurrent comparator (COMP) of pwCF heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function mutation and no history of CFTR modulator use. Outcomes included safety (death and organ transplant) and disease progression (percent predicted [pp] FEV1 and pulmonary exacerbations [PEx]).

Results: LUM/IVA safety cohort (n=3,182) had a lower age-adjusted odds ratio of death (OR=0.16; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.38) and organ transplant (OR=0.40; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.70) than COMP (n=4,099). LUM/IVA disease progression cohort had less decline in ppFEV1 than COMP (Figure, A), while PEx remained stable with LUM/IVA but increased in COMP (Figure, B). No new safety signals were identified.

Conclusions: These data support the potential for disease modification with CFTR-targeted treatment and long-term LUM/IVA use.
