Brief summary

Aim To determine the safety and efficacy of LUM/IVA in subjects >12 years of age with CF, homozygous for F508del mutation of CFTR and an FEV1<40% of predicted normal, by comparing those patients treated with LUM/IVA with a cohort of age and sex matched CF controls with another set of mutations that lead to severe CFTR dysfunction (belonging to Class I, II or III), with an FEV1<40%5.

Interventions

Patients with CF, homozygous Phedel508, prescribed Ivacaftor/lumacaftor 100/125mg taken orally twice daily, under the Vertex compassionate access scheme in Australia. Participants must have taken Ivacaftor/Lumacaftor for at least 12 months under this scheme. LUM/IVA intervention arm, with be homozygous for Phe508del and have commenced treatment with LUM/IVA on the compassionate access programme. Participants will need to have commenced treatment prior to March 2017 to potentially have at least

To take part they need to consent for anonymysed data to be avaialble for researchers to access. The patient is not required to do anything. Only data that has already been recorded will be used.
