We are thrilled to share that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of Trikafta® (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) ([link removed]) for children with cystic fibrosis ages 6 to 11 who have at least one copy of the F508del mutation or one copy of certain rare mutations.
With this approval, approximately 1,500 children will be eligible for a CFTR modulator for the first time. Today’s news is a significant step forward in our mission to help all people with CF lead long, fulfilling lives, as research suggests that beginning treatment with a modulator early could help slow or even prevent the irreversible progression of cystic fibrosis.

If you’re a parent or caregiver to a child with CF, join us for a community webinar from 7-8 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 10 ([link removed]), to have your top questions answered by experts from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. All those who register will receive a recording of the event.
