Real-world orkambi study tracks 852 cystic fibrosis patients
NCT ID NCT03475381
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 852 cystic fibrosis patients aged 12 and older who started taking Orkambi outside of a clinical trial. Researchers tracked how many stopped treatment, why, and measured lung function and nutrition over one year. The goal was to see how the drug performs in real-life settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ivacaftor+lumacaftor (Orkambi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that Orkambi helps control cystic fibrosis symptoms and improve lung function in daily use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It only follows patients for one year, so long-term effects are unknown.
