Real-world population pharmacokinetics of tezacaftor-ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis: The SYM-CF study.
Observational study in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsThe clinical effectiveness of tezacaftor-ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF) varies; some patients respond while others do not or have adverse effects. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of tezacaftor-ivacaftor are inadequately published, especially in children. Knowledge of the PK in this cohort in relation to clinical outcomes may give further insight into the drug's exposure-response relationship and its associated interindividual variability. The aim of this study was to assess the real-world PK of tezacaftor-ivacaftor in cwCF.
methodsA prospective, observational PK study was performed in cwCF using tezacaftor-ivacaftor. PK samples were obtained by dried blood spots at home and during routine outpatient hospital visits. Population PK (popPK) models were created using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling. Due to data scarcity, prior information from adolescent/adult PK models was required.
resultsThe study involved 21 children (age 6-17 years, weight 24-70 kg). Novel popPK models were created for tezacaftor-ivacaftor and its main metabolites. Variability in PK was explained by variation in body weight. The area under the curve of tezacaftor-ivacaftor varied significantly within and across age groups, which corresponded to the reported area under the curve in the product information. Maximum concentration and elimination half-lives closely matched adult reported values.
conclusionsThis is the first study to investigate the popPK of tezacaftor-ivacaftor in cwCF. The established models can be used for more personalized dosing in children experiencing suboptimal efficacy, adverse effects, drug-drug interactions, or where adherence is a concern.
