The effect of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) on glucose tolerance and/or cystic-fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is not well understood. We performed an observational study on the short-term effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA on glucose tolerance.
Sixteen adolescents with CF performed oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) before and 4-6 weeks after initiating ELX/TEZ/IVA therapy. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system was used 3 days before until 7 days after starting ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment.
OGTT categories improved after initiating ELX/TEZ/IVA therapy ( = 0.02). Glucose levels of OGTT improved at 60, 90, and 120 min ( < 0.05), whereas fasting glucose and CGM measures did not change.
Shortly after initiating ELX/TEZ/IVA therapy, glucose tolerance measured by OGTT improved in people with CF. This pilot study indicates that ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment has beneficial effects on the endocrine pancreatic function and might prevent or at least postpone future CFRD.
依列卡福/替扎卡福/艾伐卡福(ELX/TEZ/IVA)对糖耐量和/或囊性纤维化相关糖尿病(CFRD)的影响尚未完全明确。我们开展了一项关于ELX/TEZ/IVA对糖耐量短期影响的观察性研究。
16名患有囊性纤维化(CF)的青少年在开始ELX/TEZ/IVA治疗前及治疗4 - 6周后进行了口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)。在开始ELX/TEZ/IVA治疗前3天至治疗后7天使用连续血糖监测(CGM)系统。
开始ELX/TEZ/IVA治疗后OGTT类别有所改善( = 0.02)。OGTT的血糖水平在60、90和120分钟时有所改善( < 0.05),而空腹血糖和CGM测量值未发生变化。
开始ELX/TEZ/IVA治疗后不久,CF患者通过OGTT测量的糖耐量有所改善。这项初步研究表明,ELX/TEZ/IVA治疗对胰腺内分泌功能有有益影响,可能预防或至少推迟未来的CFRD。
