First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 20 adults with cystic fibrosis who are starting Trikafta to see if it reduces shortness of breath and improves exercise performance over two years. Participants will do exercise tests and report their breathing symptoms. The goal is to understand how this medication affects daily life and physical activity.
