New Tic Disorder in a Child With Cystic Fibrosis Treated With Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor.

The widespread use of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator -modulator therapy has dramatically altered the lives of individuals with cystic fibrosis. Clinical trials leading to -modulator approval by the US Food and Drug Administration demonstrated improvements in major -outcome measures including pulmonary function, gastrointestinal symptoms, and quality of life. Subsequent clinical experience has confirmed significant improvement across these domains. Adverse effects reported -during clinical trials included headache and dizziness amongst others including upper respiratory infections, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash, and elevated serum transaminases. Post marketing clinical experience has suggested that there may be additional central nervous system adverse effects resulting from modulator therapy. Reported events after initiation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator modulator treatment include headaches and increased prevalence of mental health concerns including anxiety and depression. We report a new tic disorder in a 7-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis treated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.
