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

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.
