Abstract
The advent of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators has dramatically changed the landscape of the clinical care of people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). In particular, highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) availability for the majority of PwCF has led to changes in pharmacotherapy regimens and clinical outcomes but has also been associated with adverse effects and drug interactions. The role of CFTR modulator therapy perinatally continues to be of great interest, related to both the mother with CF as well as the infant in utero and after birth. As the median life expectancy for PwCF continues to increase, consideration must also be given for treatment of cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities as well as cancer screening and other preventative care measures.
