Background: The potential effects of the very effective cystic fibrosis triple combination drug, Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) in pregnancy on prenatal development of offspring remain largely unknown. Research question: We aimed to investigate the fetal tissue distribution pattern of maternally administered ETI by placental transfer in the rat fetuses. Study design and methods: Sprague Dawley pregnant rats were administered ETI (6.7 mg/kg/d elexacaftor + 3.5 mg/kg/d tezacaftor + 25 mg/kg/d ivacaftor) traced with [3 H]-ivacaftor in single dose acute experiments (intraperitoneal injection) or treated orally with ETI (the same dose) for 7 days in sub-chronic experiments. Fetal tissue samples were collected at embryonic day (E) 19 and analyzed using liquid scintillation counting for acute experiments or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for sub-chronic experiments. Results: On day E19, after acute exposure, the entry of ivacaftor into fetal brain (brain/plasma concentration ratios 100%). However, after sub-chronic exposure, the entry of all 3 components into the developing brain was comparably extensive as into other tissues (tissue/plasma ratios, 260 – 1000%). Each component of ETI accumulated in different fetal tissues to approximately equal extent. Inter-litter differences on fetal drug distribution were found in cortex for ivacaftor, muscle for tezacaftor and cortex and mid/hindbrain for elexacaftor. Fetal plasma concentrations of ETI (ng/mL) were variable between litters. The entry of ivacaftor and tezacaftor into adult brain appeared to be restricted (
