Real-world population pharmacokinetics of tezacaftor-ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis: The SYM-CF study. [PDF]

open access: yesBr J Clin Pharmacol
Aims The clinical effectiveness of tezacaftor‐ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF) varies; some patients respond while others do not or have adverse effects. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of tezacaftor‐ivacaftor are inadequately published, especially in children.

Real-World Evaluation of Outcomes and Safety of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in Pediatric Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Transl Sci
ABSTRACT Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) therapy has significantly improved clinical outcomes in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) carrying at least one Phe508del CFTR mutation. However, real‐world evidence on the safety and effectiveness of ETI in pediatric populations remains limited, particularly in children with more severe disease ...

Different CFTR modulator combinations downregulate inflammation differently in cystic fibrosis

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Previously, we showed that serum and monocytes from patients with CF exhibit an enhanced NLRP3-inflammasome signature with increased IL-18, IL-1β, caspase-1 activity and ASC speck release (Scambler et al. eLife 2019).

A little CFTR goes a long way: CFTR-dependent sweat secretion from G551D and R117H-5T cystic fibrosis subjects taking ivacaftor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
To determine if oral dosing with the CFTR-potentiator ivacaftor (VX-770, Kalydeco) improves CFTR-dependent sweating in CF subjects carrying G551D or R117H-5T mutations, we optically measured sweat secretion from 32-143 individually identified glands in ...

The magnitude of ivacaftor effects on fluid secretion via R117H-CFTR channels: Human in vivo measurements.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
We optically measured effects of orally available ivacaftor (Kalydeco®) on sweat rates of identified glands in 3 R117H subjects, each having a unique set of additional mutations, and compared them with 5 healthy control subjects tested contemporaneously.

Weight increase in people with cystic fibrosis on CFTR modulator therapy is mainly due to increase in fat mass

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Ivacaftor, the first CFTR modulator drug, leads to significant long-term improvement in lung function and weight gain. The mechanism as well as the long-term impact of ivacaftor on weight, resting energy expenditure (REE) and body composition

The potentially beneficial central nervous system activity profile of ivacaftor and its metabolites

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2018
Ivacaftor–lumacaftor and ivacaftor are two new breakthrough cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance modulators. The interactions of ivacaftor and its two metabolites hydroxymethylivacaftor (iva-M1) and ivacaftorcarboxylate (iva-M6) with ...

Ivacaftor Inhibits Glioblastoma Stem Cell Maintenance and Tumor Progression

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) not only initiate and sustain uncontrolled cell proliferation but also resistant to conventional clinical therapies including temozolomide (TMZ ...
