In this trial real-world data on the safety (side effects and medication interactions) and efficacy (evolution of lung function testing, chronic bacterial airway infection, quality of life and endo- and exocrine pancreatic function) will be collected in adult people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) eligible for elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) up until 2 years after the start of this therapy.
PwCF group A: CFTR-modulator-naive pwCF eligible for ETI (based on age and CFTR genotype) PwCF group B: pwCF already on CFTR modulating therapy (i.e. ivacaftor-lumacaftor or ivacaftor-tezacaftor) and switching to ETI. Patients in both groups will undergo these examinations: * Physical examination (including weight) * Anamnesis for current and recent medication use (including dosage of pancreatic enzymes) and for acute respiratory exacerbations * Lung function testing including spiometry, multiple breath washout testing and fractional exhaled nitric oxide * Blood sampling: liver function tests, creatine kinase, albumin, PT, red and white blood cell count, platelet count * Sputum/cough swab sampling * fecal elastase measurement * Cystic fibrosis questionnaire-revised (CFQ-R) questionnaire * Patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) questionnaire * General anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire * Sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire These will be performed at baseline (prior to the start of ETI, on the same day of start of ETI), and every 3 months (+/- 7 days) thereafter. A blood sample will also be performed 14 (+/- 7 days) days after start of ETI (for safety). Fecal elastase measurement will only be performed at baseline if not available in the patient's medical record, and only 6 months after start of ETI.
