BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator modulators are a cornerstone of CF treatment. However, many patients develop CF liver disease (CFLD) over time, and previous data indicate a risk for transaminase elevation with modulator use. Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor is a commonly prescribed modulator with broad efficacy among CF genomic profiles. Theoretically, elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor drug-induced liver injury could exacerbate and further worsen CFLD, but holding modulators can cause a decline in clinical status.
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to determine the real-world incidence of transaminase elevations in adult patients with CF taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.
METHODS: This exploratory, retrospective descriptive study included all adults with CF-prescribed elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor at our institution's outpatient CF clinic. We explored transaminase elevations in 2 separate outcomes: incidence of transaminase elevations of more than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and transaminase elevations of 25% or more above baseline.
RESULTS: 83 patients were prescribed elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. Nine patients (11%) experienced an elevation of more than 3 times ULN and 62 (75%) experienced an elevation of 25% or more above baseline. The median days to transaminase elevation were 108 and 135 days, respectively. Therapy was not discontinued due to transaminase elevations in any of the patients.
CONCLUSION: Transaminase elevations among adults taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor were common but did not result in discontinuation of therapy. Pharmacists should be reassured of the liver safety profile of this important medication for patients with CF.
