Applied at week 16 and held constant through week 24.

**

Patients receiving LUM/IVA + SC increase 0.033 per year for 2 years, whereas patients on SC decline by 0.030 per year for 2 years.

LUM/IVA treatment effect on ppFEV1 decline (i.e. 42% reduction) was reported by Konstan et al.13

Rate was measured as event rate per patient-year.

CFFPR, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry; ISHLT, International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation; LUM/IVA, lumacaftor/ivacaftor; N/A, not applicable; PEx, pulmonary exacerbation; ppFEV1, percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second; SC, standard care.
