Rationale: We recently demonstrated that triple-combination CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) modulator therapy with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) improves CFTR function in airway and intestinal epithelia to 40-50% of normal in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) with one or two F508del alleles. In previous studies, this improvement of CFTR function was shown to improve...
