Effect of Ivacaftor on Objective and Subjective Measures of Cough in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis.

CONCLUSION: We have observed early subjective and objective improvement in cough measures on treatment with ivacaftor. We suggest that this improvement could be attributed to improvement of gastro-intestinal function and that cough metrics could be used as early and accurate end points of drug efficacy.
