This symposium will focus on the state of the science on the intersection of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) and mental/behavioral health symptoms for persons with cystic fibrosis. Speakers will review the latest findings on the associations between ETI use and mental health and/or neurocognitive symptoms across the translational science spectrum, present pediatric- and adult-focused studies that aim to better understand potential mental/behavioral health side-effects and other sequelae of ETI use, discuss strategies to manage mental/behavioral health side effects and related concerns, and discuss future directions for the field.
