CFTR Modulator Therapy for Rare CFTR Mutants
Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common genetic disease among the Caucasian population, is caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride epithelial channel whose dysfunction results in severe ...

Changes in the Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbiome in Response to CFTR Modulator Therapy
The development of CFTR modulator therapies significantly changed the treatment scheme of people with cystic fibrosis. However, CFTR modulator therapy is still a life-long treatment, which is not able to correct the genetic defect and cure the disease ...

CFTR Modulator Response in Nasal Organoids Derived from People with Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Despite the progressive extension of CFTR variant eligibility to the triple combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), most rare CFTR pathogenic variants remain ineligible for CFTR modulators.

Combined CFTR modulator therapies are linked with anabolic benefits and insulin-sparing in cystic fibrosis-related diabetes [PDF]
Aims: Combined CFTR modulator therapies have dramatically altered pulmonary outcomes in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Their impact on glucose metabolism requires further investigations.

Review of CFTR modulators 2020 [PDF]
AbstractCystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators are small molecules that directly impact the CFTR protein, improving the function of the CFTR chloride and bicarbonate channel. Beginning in 2012 with the Food and Drug Administration approval of the first CFTR modulator, ivacaftor, this class of medications has had largely ...

Pharmacological Responses of the G542X-CFTR to CFTR Modulators
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal hereditary disease caused by loss-of-function mutations of the chloride channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). With the development of small-molecule CFTR modulators, including correctors that facilitate protein folding and expression and potentiators that promote channel activity, about 90%
