KAF-BIOTA: Intestine-lung Axis of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated With the Combination Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease, which affects in particular the respiratory and digestive systems of patients, sites of chronic inflammation.
A new combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has proven its efficacy for the treatment of patients aged 12 years and over with two F508del mutations or a so-called "minimal function" mutation associated with one F508del mutation. European marketing authorization was obtained in August 2020 and access in France should therefore arrive soon. Given that this treatment targets new mutations and that the efficacy seems greater than with LUM/IVA, it is important to assess its impact on the microbiota and the pulmonary and digestive inflammation of patients.
It is therefore a question of taking advantage of the experience of the Lum-Iva-Biota cohort, and the validated and operational sample circuit established in the various participating centers to set up a biological collection for the collection and storage of sputum and stools of patients during the first year of treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, in order to study the effect of treatment on the lung and digestive microbiota/mycobiota and inflammation.

Detailed Description
Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease, which affects in particular the respiratory and digestive systems of patients, sites of chronic inflammation. It has also been shown that in these patients, the pulmonary and intestinal microbiota were distinct from those of healthy subjects and that the progression of the disease was associated with alterations in these microbiota. In addition, numerous data suggest the existence of an "intestinal-lung axis" and therefore encourage studying these two organs in parallel and not separately.
The management of cystic fibrosis has been marked in recent years by the appearance of CFTR modulators, in particular the combination lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) (for patients homozygous F508del). The criteria for evaluating the efficacy of these treatments are based on the change in FEV (forced expiratory volume in 1 second), the number of exacerbations, body mass index or quality of life. However, it is essential to be able to document the effect of these treatments on the lung and digestive microbiota and inflammation. Since 2016, we have set up the national "Lum-Iva-Biota" cohort and have been able to show that the effect of LUM/IVA on the pulmonary microbiota was more marked in patients not previously colonized with P. aeruginosa.
A new combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has proven its efficacy for the treatment of patients aged 12 years and over with two F508del mutations or a so-called "minimal function" mutation associated with one F508del mutation. European marketing authorization was obtained in August 2020 and access in France should therefore arrive soon. Given that this treatment targets new mutations and that the efficacy seems greater than with LUM/IVA, it is important to assess its impact on the microbiota and the pulmonary and digestive inflammation of patients.
It is therefore a question of taking advantage of the experience of the Lum-Iva-Biota cohort, and the validated and operational sample circuit established in the various participating centers to set up a biological collection for the collection and storage of sputum and stools of patients during the first year of treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, in order to study the effect of treatment on the lung and digestive microbiota/mycobiota and inflammation.
