The advent of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy, especially the triple therapy combining the drugs elexacaftor, tezacaftor, ivacaftor (ETI), has significantly changed the course of the disease in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). ETI, which is approved for the majority (80-90%) of pwCF, partially restores CFTR channel function, resulting in improved mucociliary clearance and, consequently, improved lung function, respiratory symptoms and pulmonary exacerbations. The bacterial burden of classical CF pathogens such as and is reduced without reaching eradication in the majority of infected patients.

Purpose Of Review: In 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a breakthrough therapeutic for cystic fibrosis, elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), because of its profound effect on lung function in large phase III clinical trials. ETI acts directly on the dysfunctional protein that causes the systemic manifestations of cystic fibrosis and also leads to improvement in nonpulmonary symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Transplant recipients were excluded from the pivotal clinical trials of ETI but may stand to benefit from correction of the underlying protein defect.

Background & Aims: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) liver disease progresses to liver failure requiring transplantation in about 3 % of patients, 0.7 % of CF patients are post liver transplant. The prognosis of CF has improved with the introduction of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI).

Background: The use of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) after solid organ transplantation is controversial because of potential drug-drug interactions (DDI) with tacrolimus. We aimed to improve insight into the safety and clinical benefits of co-administration of ETI and tacrolimus in liver or kidney transplanted adult pwCF.
Methods: In 5 pwCF, tacrolimus concentrations were monitored during 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after starting ETI treatment.
