First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tested the safety and how the body processes the drug combination elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor in 70 toddlers with cystic fibrosis who are 12 to 24 months old. The drug is already used in older patients to help the lungs work better. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood and watched for side effects. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works well in very young children.
