WS16.1 Clinical Outcomes of Real-World Kalydeco (CORK) study – Investigating the impact of CFTR potentiation on the intestinal microbiota, exocrine pancreatic function and intestinal inflammation prospectively over 12 monthsObjectives Ivacaftor is effective in the treatment of patients with CF and the G551D gating mutation. We present faecal analysis results of the CORK cohort, a single-centre, adult (n = 20), prospective, longitudinal study of G551D clinical responders (median follow-up 12 months), examining the gut microbiota, exocrine pancreatic function and intestinal inflammation on a 3 monthly basis after commencing treatment.
