People with CF pictured were taking TRIKAFTA as of 6/15/2022.
They may or may not be taking TRIKAFTA today.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) will always be part of the equation, but you know there’s more to who you are.
Ask your doctor about making TRIKAFTA part of the equation—a triple combination therapy that treats the underlying cause.


TRIKAFTA is a breakthrough treatment for people with CF age 6 years and older with at least one copy 
of the F508del mutation or at least one other responsive mutation.

Check Your Eligibility

TRIKAFTA is for people age 6 years and older with at least one F508del mutation or at least one other mutation in the CF gene that is responsive to TRIKAFTA. Enter your mutations to see if at least one of them is eligible.

Age:

6 years or older

    Most people with CF have 2 CF mutations, 1 on each copy of the CF gene. However, in rare instances, 1 copy of the CF gene can have more than 1 mutation. This is called a compound, or complex, mutation.

    To enter 2 or more mutations into 1 entry field, separate them with a semicolon, space, comma, or forward slash. For example, if your mutations are R74W/V201M/D1270N and W1282R, use the Mutation 1 field to enter: R74W; V201M; D1270N and the Mutation 2 field to enter: W1282R.

    If you don’t know your or your child's CF gene mutations, it’s important to work with your healthcare provider to identify them. Knowing your mutations can help determine if TRIKAFTA could be right for you.

    You can view the list of eligible mutations here.

    Based on the information entered, you may be eligible for TRIKAFTA.

    Talk with your healthcare provider to see if TRIKAFTA is right for you.

    Here is some information about TRIKAFTA that may be helpful:

    Neither CF gene mutation you entered is eligible for TRIKAFTA.

    Talk with your healthcare provider to discuss your CF care plan and treatment options that may be right for you.

    You can view the list of eligible mutations here.

    We’re sorry, we do not recognize 1 or both of the mutations you entered.
    Talk with your healthcare provider to discuss your CF care plan and treatment options that may be right for you.
