What a life-changing cystic fibrosis drug teaches us about translating science into health

  • Resumen

  • You’ve probably never heard of Trikafta — unless you or someone you love lives with cystic fibrosis. The drug has fundamentally changed cystic fibrosis care, extending life expectancy by decades. But the drug costs $326,000 a year — and requires people to be on it for life. Abdul reflects on the central challenge at promoting life-saving innovations that the people who need them can afford. Then he interviews Dr. Michael Boyle, President and CEO of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation about the science behind Trikafta and the work to make it universally affordable.
