Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor, and Ivacaftor in Adult People with Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesElexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor (ETI) have significantly improved lung function in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Despite exceptional improvements in most cases, treatment-related inter-subject variability and drug-drug interactions that complicate modulator therapy have been reported.
methodsThis retrospective analysis presents data on the serum concentration of ETI in our pwCF with full or reduced dosage from August 2021 to December 2023 via routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The data were compared with the maximum drug concentrations (Cmax) from the pharmaceutical company's summary of product characteristics.
resultsA total of 786 blood samples from 155 pwCF (41% female, 59% male) were analyzed. The examinations were divided into four groups: full dose within the given tmax (38.5% of all measurements), full dose outside the tmax (29%), reduced dose within the tmax (19.2%), and reduced dose outside the tmax (13.2%). In pwCF receiving the full dose and blood taken within the tmax, 45.3% of serum concentrations of elexacaftor, 51.1% of serum concentrations of ivacaftor, and 8.9% of serum concentrations of tezacaftor were found to be above the Cmax, respectively. For those on reduced doses within the tmax, 24.5% had a serum concentration of elexacaftor, 23.2% had a serum concentration of ivacaftor, and 2.5% had a serum concentration of tezacaftor above the Cmax, respectively.
conclusionsMany pwCF under ETI therapy have Cmax values for elexacaftor and ivacaftor above the recommended range, even on reduced doses or before the tmax was reached. This highlights the value of a TDM program. Further pharmacokinetic studies are necessary.
