Cystic Fibrosis Patient Thriving on Trikafta | Duke Health

Born with cystic fibrosis (CF), Zoey Dula spent her early years sick and in and out of hospitals. Decades ago, children like Zoey might not live to see their first birthday. Today, thanks to a new medication called Trikafta, a CF modulars, Zoey is prepared to lead an active and full life. Unlike other treatments, these new drugs target the root cause of CF, not just the symptoms. People with CF are now routinely living into adulthood. “She can be anything she wants to be,” said Mai ElMallah, MD, Zoey’s pediatric pulmonologist at Duke Health.
