together
► One in 2014, focused on ivacaftor (KalydecoTM)
25 CF patients, children (>6 years old) and adults with
gating mutations, concerned by ivacaftor
Represents a significant breakthrough
Needs some administration conditions and long term
compliance
ECFC Brussels - June 2015
Objectives
► To
evaluate the ivacaftor-taking in daily life:
feeling of efficacy
compliance to ivacaftor
drug administration conditions, side effects
► To
highlight the potentials changes with ivacaftor
in patients’ life:
quality of life
other treatments
► To
improve nurses’ knowledge about ivacaftor and
the optimal administration conditions

Results
► 18
completed questionnaires until now:
Feeling of efficacy:
► And
12 feel good with it (12)
► But 8 do not see any difference (Young patients already with few
symptoms)
Compliance:
► They
rarely forget the intake: 15/rarely and 3/sometimes
► All the patients want to continue the treatment
Side effects: only a few (5)
Changes:
► Some
of them change usually treatment: decrease physiotherapy
(4), pancreatic enzyme supplements (1), antibiotherapy (2), stop
salt (2) and aerosol (1)
Drug administration conditions:
► A patient
does not eat in the morning and take on an empty
stomach!

Discussion and conclusion
►
Those questionnaires give clues for a long-term monitoring:
Not to trivialize the importance of treatment, to recall the modalities
To exchange and adapt the beside treatment
To evaluate and preserve the long term compliance
To appreciate globally the effects and the impact on patient life
►
An approach, for the nurses, of educational tools of
compliance, self-efficacy and quality of life
►
A question: How asymptomatic children will manage this longlasting treatment without feeling of improvement?
►
Those questionnaires could be improved and used for other
specific upcoming treatments
