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). Due to the paucity of data and concerns regarding interactions with immunosuppressive drug regimens, there is no general consensus on use of ETI post liver transplantation. The aim of this review is to report the safety and efficacy of ETI in CF patients who underwent liver transplantation.
METHODS: A systematic review was conducted through MEDLINE/Pubmed and EMBASE databases. English-written articles reporting clinical data on liver transplanted CF patients treated with ETI were included. Article quality was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports.
RESULTS: Twenty cases were retrieved from 6 reports. Temporary discontinuation and/or dose reduction due to elevated transaminases was required in 5 cases. ETI restarted on a reduced dose was tolerated in 3 out of 5 patients, 1 patient tolerated full dose. Tacrolimus dose change was required in 14 cases, in 1 case ETI was discontinued due to tacrolimus toxicity. Improvement in percentage predicted FEV1 was noted in 15/19 patients (median +17 %, range 8 %-38 %).
CONCLUSIONS: In the majority of liver transplanted patients ETI is well tolerated, although adverse events and liver function abnormalities may occur. Close monitoring of liver function and tacrolimus level is warranted. Significant improvement in lung function after ETI initiation is confirmed, highlighting the importance of accessing this medication for this group of patients.
