Summary

This study tested the drug Trikafta in 42 people with cystic fibrosis who have rare gene changes not normally treated with this medicine. Participants took Trikafta for about four weeks, and researchers measured lung function and sweat chloride levels. They also used skin or blood samples to grow stem cells in the lab, hoping to predict who might benefit from the drug.
