The @US_FDA has approved the expansion of Trikafta to additional people with #cysticfibrosis ages 2 and older who have certain rare mutations. https://t.co/6OV0IZxobx

@AArdent666 Alyftrek comes with a boxed warning on the risk of liver injury and liver failure. Individuals interested in taking Alyftrek should speak with their care team with any questions or concerns.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

Alyftrek, a new, once-a-day CFTR modulator for people with cystic fibrosis has been approved by the @US_FDA.

Thank you, @SenatorShaheen, @SenatorBaldwin, and @RepUnderwood for championing the Health Care Affordability Act, a bill making premium tax credits permanent for those insured through the marketplace and ensuring that health care is accessible and affordable for all. #CFAdvocacy

[Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen]

Proud to introduce my Health Care Affordability Act as my first bill of the 119th Congress. Families are already struggling to make ends meet and allowing the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to expire would make health care costs skyrocket. Let’s get this done.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

@US_FDA Read the news story and learn which rare mutations may now be eligible for Trikafta.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

@US_FDA We know that between 10–15% of people with CF are not eligible for or cannot tolerate modulators. We are committed to ensuring everyone will have a treatment for the underlying cause of their cystic fibrosis, and ultimately, a cure.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

@US_FDA Read the news story about the approval of Alyftrek, including the rare mutations of the CFTR gene that have been approved for Alyftrek. https://t.co/KMfPR3Sj29

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

@US_FDA Because the Foundation is aware of published reports of mental and cognitive side effects of people with CF on Trikafta, it is funding a study in development that will examine mental health and cognitive function of people with CF who start Alyftrek.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

We are committed to pursuing a transformative treatment for all people with #cysticfibrosis, especially those who can’t take CFTR modulators. https://t.co/Ng9cBlh38J

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

We have agreed to invest up to $15 million in ReCode Therapeutics to fund the development of a gene editing therapy that is designed to use ReCode’s delivery system to transport gene editing cargo to the lung cells in people with #cysticfibrosis.

[Cystic Fibrosis Foundation @CF_Foundation]

First, the lab research will target the correction of a nonsense mutation. Other rare mutations that are not eligible for CFTR modulators will be explored later.

Thank you, @SenKatieBritt, for meeting with Miss Alabama, Abbie Stockard, to learn about her best friend who lives with cystic fibrosis and discuss the needs of the CF community. We hope we can count on your leadership and vocal support to pass the PASTEUR Act this year!

[Senator Katie Boyd Britt @SenKatieBritt]

Wonderful meeting Miss Alabama today to discuss her powerful advocacy for those living with cystic fibrosis. Her dedication to raising awareness and supporting research gives hope to so many families across our state.
