Safety and efficacy of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis and F508del-gating and F508del-residual function genotypes: results from an open-label extension study.
Trial report in Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
rationaleIn an 8-week, active-controlled, phase 3 study (445-104), elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) was shown to be efficacious and safe in participants ≥ 12 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) and F508del-gating (F/G) or F508del-residual function (F/RF) genotypes, conferring additional clinical benefits relative to IVA and TEZ/IVA. Participants who completed this 8-week parent study continued to an open-label extension.
objectiveTo assess the long-term safety and efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in adolescents and adults with CF and F/G or F/RF genotypes.
methodsThis 2-part (Part A [96 weeks] and Part B [48 weeks]) phase 3 open-label extension study enrolled adolescents and adults age ≥ 12 years with CF and F/G or F/RF genotypes who completed study 445-104. Primary endpoint (Part A and Part B) was safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints (Part A only) included absolute changes in percent predicted FEV1 (ppFEV1), sweat chloride concentration, CF Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) respiratory domain score, and body mass index (BMI).
resultsA total of 251 participants received ≥ 1 dose of ELX/TEZ/IVA in Part A; 217 (86.5%) completed treatment. In Part A, 96.0% of participants had ≥ 1 adverse event (AE), which for most were mild (32.3%) or moderate (55.0%) in severity. Thirteen participants (5.2%) discontinued due to treatment-emergent AEs. Participants who received ELX/TEZ/IVA in the parent study maintained improvements in ppFEV1, sweat chloride concentration, CFQ-R respiratory domain score, and BMI while participants who received IVA or TEZ/IVA (active controls) in parent study had similar improvements after transitioning to ELX/TEZ/IVA. Eighty-four participants (33.5%) entered Part B, 96.4% of whom discontinued due to commercial drug availability. In Part B, 62 participants (73.8%) had ≥ 1 AE, which for most were mild or moderate in severity and none of which led to discontinuation.
conclusionsELX/TEZ/IVA remained generally safe and well-tolerated with no new safety findings. Improvements in lung function, CFTR function, respiratory symptoms, and nutritional status after starting ELX/TEZ/IVA were maintained through 96 weeks of follow-up. These results demonstrate the safety and durable efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in adolescents and adults with F/G or F/RF genotypes.
