Successes and Challenges: Inhaled Treatment Approaches Using Magnetic Nanoparticles in Cystic Fibrosis

open access: yesMagnetochemistry, 2020
Magnetic nanoparticles have been largely applied to increase the efficacy of antibiotics due to passive accumulation provided by enhancing permeability and retention, which is essential for the treatment of lung infections. Recurring lung infections such

Elexacaftor–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor Reduces Revision Sinus Surgery in People With Cystic Fibrosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 5, Page 2048-2053, May 2026.
Elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI) was associated with a significant decrease in the frequency and rate of endoscopic sinus surgeries in patients with cystic fibrosis. These findings suggest an improvement in CF‐related chronic rhinosinusitis outcomes following ETI and may influence future CF treatment decisions.

Challenges to Assessing the Prevalence of Cystic Fibrosis in the Caribbean

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis (CF) is likely underdiagnosed in Caribbean populations due to non‐representative cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) variant screening panels, limited newborn screening programs, and structural healthcare barriers.

Pharmacokinetic interactions between ivacaftor and cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors in people with cystic fibrosis and healthy controls

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND: Ivacaftor is currently the only CFTR potentiator approved and is increasingly used since the development of CFTR correctors. Ivacaftor is metabolized by CYP3A4 and therefore dose reduction is required when treating patients on ivacaftor with ...

Tezacaftor/ivacaftor in people with cystic fibrosis heterozygous for minimal function CFTR mutations

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Tezacaftor/ivacaftor is a CFTR modulator approved to treat people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) who are homozygous (F/F) or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and a residual function mutation (F/RF).

Function and Structure Relationships With Inflammation Differ in Two Chronic Suppurative Lung Diseases

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are characterized by neutrophilic airway inflammation but differ in clinical features. Objectives We investigated relationships of pulmonary and systemic inflammatory markers with functional and structural lung disease.

Investigation of the effects of the CFTR potentiator ivacaftor on human P-glycoprotein (ABCB1)

open access: yes, 2017
Ivacaftor is a potentiator of the CFTR chloride channel and is in worldwide clinical use for the chronic treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients. There is evidence that the bioavailability of ivacaftor in the body may be influenced by the multi-drug ...
