Abstract
We report a case of successful treatment of severe mixed cystic fibrosis in a 11-year-old child using lumacaftor 100 mg/ivacaftor 125mg, a CFTR modulator. This case shows that lumacaftor/ivacaftor is effective in patients who already developed chronic respiratory failure and have low basal FEV1. Key words: CFTR modulators, lumacaftor/ivacaftor, cystic fibrosis
