Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants received Lumacaftor 400mg and Ivacaftor 250mg twice daily for 12 months. They received these as part of treatment, not for the study.Participation did not require any additional investigations or review. The data from the medical record was reviewed. All investigations were done as part of usual care.

Comparator / control treatment
10 adult historical controls, who attended the same centre from 2012 to 2015, aged at least 18years, homozygous for the Phe508del mutation, who also would have been eligible for access to LUM/IVA as above, who either had ppFEV1 of 40% or less when clinically stable at their annual review and or were judged to require referral for transplant at this time.

Statistical methods / analysis
Analysis of continuous variables was performed using parametric techniques to compare differences as these were normally distributed. This was done using a one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. Categorical comparisons were assessed using Fisher’s exact test. Analysis was carried out using Graphpad Prism version 7.

Summary
Brief summary
Our aim was to determine a sensitive clinical measure of change, in patients with CF and severe airways disease as measured by an FEV1<40% when stable, following treatment with Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor. We assessed response with spirometry and compared this to changes seen in exercise capacity as measured by the six minute walk test (6MWT), the nitrogen multi-breath washout test, the carbon monoxide gas transfer factor and lung volumes measured by plethysmography.
