Brother Cahir O’Hagan , 25 , died waiting on a double lung transplant a year ago .
He had cystic fibrosis, an inherited condition that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system.
Drugs such as Kaftrio , Symkevi and Orkambi help 90% of CF patients prolong and improve their lives.
But for the other 10% of the CF population with different genetic mutations, these new treatments do not work.
"Our aim, of course, is that nobody is left behind, and this is to ensure that 100% of people, those diagnosed with CF have access to drugs that can change their lives. "The science has dramatically improved over the last number of years," he said, continuing that the early data is encouraging. "We are very hopeful, with a degree of some confidence that we will find in the coming years a drug that's impactful for all.".
