Orkambi®

Question
Good evening,

I have read the side effects of Orkambi®.
What are the results of studies in countries that prescribe this treatment for a couple of years now (regarding these side effects)?

Best wishes
Answer
Hello,

We do not have to date the results of the phase 4 study of Orkambi® in countries where the product has received a marketing authorization (2014 in the US and early 2016 in France).

As for the US, if you understand English, you can click on the following link to access a patient forum which deals with this question:

cysticfibrosis.com/forums/search/orkambi/


As for France, the "New therapies" group of the French Cystic Fibrosis Society spread CF Center physicians long-term follow-up recommendations for the population of patients treated wilth Orkambi® and set up an organization to collect information on the effectiveness and safety of this product. This information will not become available in the short runs.

Hope this answer can help.
Best wishes
