Rationale: The combination of lumacaftor (LUM) and ivacaftor (IVA) is an approved CFTR (cystic fibrosis [CF] transmembrane conductance regulator) modulator treatment for homozygous F508del patients with CF.Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of LUM/IVA in children (6 yr or more) and adults (more than 18 yr) in a postapproval setting.Methods: This longitudinal cohort study, performed at 38 centers in the U.S. CF Therapeutics Development Network, enrolled homozygous F508del patients with CF ages 6 years old and older with no prior exposure to LUM/IVA. Study assessments were performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after LUM/IVA initiation.Results: A total of 193 patients initiated LUM/IVA, and 85% completed the study through 1 year. Baseline mean percent-predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV(1)) was 85 (standard deviation, 22.4) in this cohort. No statistically significant change in ppFEV1 was observed from baseline to any of the follow-up time points, with a mean absolute change at 12 months of -0.3 (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.8 to 1.2). Body mass index improved from baseline to 12 months (mean change, 0.8 kg/m(2); P < 0.001). Sweat chloride decreased from baseline to 1 month (mean change, -18.5 mmol/L; 95% CI, -20.7 to -16.3; P < 0.001), and these reductions were sustained through the study period. There were no significant changes in hospitalization rate for pulmonary exacerbations and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection status with treatment.Conclusions: In this real-world multicenter cohort of children and adults, LUM/IVA treatment was associated with significant improvements in growth and reductions in sweat chloride without statistically significant or clinically meaningful changes in lung function, hospitalization rates, or P. aeruginosa infection.
