BACKGROUND: Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently require modulatory therapies such as Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor (LI) and Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) to manage their condition. Given the potential hepatic complications associated with CF, it is critical to understand the impact of these therapies on liver function and fibrosis indices. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in liver function markers and fibrosis indices in CF patients undergoing LI and ETI therapies, with a specific focus on the influence of underlying hepatic disease. METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, liver function markers and fibrosis indices were assessed in CF patients receiving ETI (n=24), LI (n=4), or LI transitioned to ETI (LI/ETI, n=8). Key liver function markers, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin, platelet count, and fibrosis indices (APRI and FIB-4), were measured at baseline and at various time points up to 12 months. RESULTS: In patients receiving LI therapy, ALT and AST levels demonstrated a slight but non-significant decrease over six months, accompanied by significant fluctuations in total bilirubin levels. Among those receiving ETI therapy, ALT and AST levels initially increased but stabilized over time, while total bilirubin levels significantly increased from baseline to 12 months. No significant differences were observed in liver function markers between patients with and without hepatic disease under ETI therapy. Trends in fibrosis indices (APRI and FIB-4) were modest and largely non-significant across both therapies. CONCLUSIONS: ETI therapy appears to be safe for CF patients, including those with pre-existing hepatic disease, with no significant deterioration in liver function over a 12-month period. However, the observed fluctuations in bilirubin levels underscore the necessity for ongoing monitoring. Further research is warranted to investigate the long-term hepatic effects of LI and ETI therapies.
