The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of Ivacaftor in an adolescent without a cystic fibrosis-associated CFTR mutation who is taking Ivacaftor to treat chronic pancreatitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Does Ivacaftor reduce the frequency or severity of acute pancreatitis episodes in this adolescent compared to their historical medical data? The participant, who is already taking Ivacaftor as part of their medical care, will be monitored over the course of 12 months. Flare frequency, hospitalizations, and wellness data will be tracked through caregiver reports, lab data, and physiological data collected from a wearable health monitoring device (Apple Watch).

Ivacaftor is a CFTR potentiator approved for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients with specific gating mutations. In this observational, single-patient study, Ivacaftor is being used off-label in an adolescent without a cystic fibrosis-associated CFTR mutation to evaluate its potential impact on chronic pancreatitis. The intervention is not assigned by the study team but is part of the participant's ongoing medical care. The study monitors clinical outcomes and wearable health data over a 12-month period.
Mission: Cure
Seattle, Washington, United States
Time Between Acute Pancreatitis Episodes While on Ivacaftor
The number of days between clinically confirmed acute pancreatitis attacks during the 12-month Ivacaftor treatment period, compared to historical pre-treatment intervals.
Time frame: 12 months
