Background: Elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) improves pulmonary health and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) for people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), however its impact on olfaction has not been investigated. Olfactory dysfunction impairs quality-of-life (QOL). This study evaluated the impact of ETI on multiple olfactory metrics.Methods: Adult PwCF/CRS with CF transmembrane conductance regulator genotype F508de1/F508de1 or F508de1/minimal function who clinically initiated ETI participated in a prospective, observational study. Endpoints included changes after 6 months of ETI in quantitative olfactory function (Smell Identification Test, SIT), olfactory QOL (Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders, QOD) and percent olfactory cleft opacification (%OCO), representing superior nasal cavity inflammation where afferent olfactory neurons are concentrated.Results: 30 PwCF/CRS met inclusion criteria; 25 completed the study. Mean ETI adherence was 93%. At baseline, participants were hyposmic (mean SIT 31.3), had significant %OCO (mean 65.6%), yet reported non-impaired olfactory QOL (mean QOD 6.1). At follow-up, mean SIT worsened mildly (p=0.009), mean %OCO remained stable (p=0.46), and mean QOD improved modestly (p=0.008). No outcomes were impacted by prior modulator use, genotype, nasal polyps, or CF-related diabetes. Prior sinus surgery was associated with QOD improvement (p=0.04). Increased (worse) baseline QOD scores and %OCO were associated with greater improvements (p
