Therapeutic Approaches for Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Not Eligible for Current CFTR Modulators
Cystic fibrosis is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encoding the CFTR protein, a chloride channel expressed in many epithelial cells.

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 ...
