Original Title:
Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor en fibrosis quística
Authors' recommendations:
Moderate-quality evidence suggests that, in patients 12 years old or older with cystic fibrosis bearing the homozygous F508 mutation, treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, when compared with tezacaftor/ivacaftor, decreases respiratory exacerbations, improves the predicted VEF1 ratio and improves the patient’s quality of live at 4 weeks with an acceptable safety profile. Moderate-quality evidence suggests that, in patients 12 years old or older, with cystic fibrosis bearing the heterozygous F508-minimal function mutation, treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, when compared to placebo, improves the predicted VEF1 ratio, decreases respiratory exacerbations, and improves the patient’s quality of life at 24 weeks, with an acceptable safety profile. However, whether this benefits persist at long-term is unknown. No evidence was found against other comparators, or in children under 12 years old.Most clinical practice guidelines surveyed, do no mention this therapy since it has recently been approved, although the 2021 Argentine Society of Pediatrics Guideline has a positive opinion on its effectiveness. No Latin American country covers this drug. Health sponsors from the United States, France and Germany cover this drug combination, whereas other high-income countries do not mention this therapeutic combination or it is under review.No information is available on the economic aspect of this therapy in Argentina, where it is still not commercially available. It was assessed in the United States and it was determined it was not cost-effective.
