ERJOR: This nationwide real-world study uses high-resolution data to document that elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor halts progression of lung disease in cystic fibrosis, and improves lung function across all ages, disease severities and prior modulator use bit.ly/3VsReh2

What impact has Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor had on death & lung transplant rates for eligible recipients with advanced #CF lung disease? >90% reduction according to a study from researchers @UBC @HLIStPauls @ucddublin @CFCanada @UofT & @DalhousieU atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.151…
