Case Report: A delicate equilibrium of exocrine pancreatic recovery and hepatotoxicity with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapy in a pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis.

This case report presents a comprehensive evaluation of the complex balance of therapeutic benefits and potential risks associated with the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy in managing an eight-year-old male with cystic fibrosis (CF) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). While ETI therapy significantly enhanced exocrine pancreatic function, it led to hepatotoxicity, necessitating therapy discontinuation. Attempts to restart ETI at reduced doses were unsuccessful due to persistent hepatic dysfunction.
