Background In two pivotal phase 3 trials, up to 24 weeks of treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) was efficacious and safe in patients cystic fibrosis (CF) ≥12 years age who have at least one F508del allele. The aim this study is assess long-term safety efficacy ELX/TEZ/IVA these patients. Methods 3, open-label, single-arm extension study, participants –minimal function (from a 24-week parent study; n=399) or – 4-week n=107) genotypes receive the same dose (ELX 200 mg...

Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor is highly effective in treating people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) who have ≥ 1 responsive mutation. Liver disease occurs approximately 10%–20% of pwCF. The objective this study was to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor moderate hepatic impairment, which necessary inform on its use guide dosing recommendations. were evaluated subjects without CF impairment versus matched healthy controls.
