Actual (reported)Shortness of breath (dyspnea) during exercise is a major source of distress and is a commonly reported symptom in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A recent treatment option known as Orkambi, which combines the drugs lumacaftor and ivacaftor, may be used in patients with CF to help improve lung health. However, the effects of this combination therapy on dyspnea and exercise performance, a known predictor of survival in CF, are not clear. The investigators aim to understand the effects of Orkambi on these symptoms and to gain new insight into the potential health improvements in CF from using this treatment option.

Actual (reported)Change in iso-time dyspnea rating from baseline (visit 2) to visit 3 and 4 during constant-load exercise tests.
Dyspnea rating measured using the Borg 0-10 category ratio scale.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
Change from baseline cardio-respiratory responses during constant-load exercise tests (prior to Orkambi initiation to full dose) at 1 and 3 months after initiating full dose of Orkambi.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
Change from baseline chronic activity-related dyspnea (prior to Orkambi initiation to full dose) at 1 and 3 months after initiating full dose of Orkambi.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
Change from baseline quality of life (prior to Orkambi initiation to full dose) at 1 and 3 months after initiating full dose of Orkambi.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
Change from baseline physical activity (prior to Orkambi initiation to full dose) at 1 and 3 months after initiating full dose of Orkambi.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
Participants diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
The CF patients will be recruited from the St. Paul's Hospital UBC Adult CF Clinic.

Molecular Phenotypes for Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease
Change from baseline pulmonary function measures (prior to Orkambi initiation to full dose) at 1 and 3 months after initiating full dose of Orkambi.
Parameters will be measured during 3 visits. Visit 2 will occur before the participants go on drug (Orkambi). Visit 3 and 4 will occur at 1 month and 3 months after initiating full dose of drug, respectively. All visits will be completed within 4 months.
