More Info: KALYDECO (ivacaftor, VX-770) is Vertex's lead medicine in development for the treatment of people with cystic fibrosis. Known as a CFTR potentiator, this oral medicine in development aims to help CFTR protein function more normally once it reaches the cell surface, which is believed to help hydrate and clear mucus from the airways. Vertex retains worldwide rights to develop and commercialize KALYDECO (kuh-LYE-deh-koh). The brand name KALYDECO has been approved by the EMA and provisionally approved by the FDA, but KALYDECO has not been granted marketing authorization or approval from any regulatory authority.About Cystic Fibrosis : CF is a life-threatening genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 people in the United States and 70,000 people worldwide. Today, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is approximately 38 years. According to the 2010 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry Annual Data Report, approximately 4 percent of the total CF patient population in the United States have at least one copy of the G551D mutation. The most common form of CF is caused by the F508del mutation, which is present in nearly 90 percent of people with the disease.

| Biological target: | Ivacaftor (VX-770) is a potent CFTR potentiator, targeting G551D-CFTR and F508del-CFTR with EC50s of 100 nM and 25 nM, respectively. |
| In vitro activity: | The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of ivacaftor on mutant CFTR protein forms with defects in protein processing and/or channel function. The effect of ivacaftor on CFTR function was tested in electrophysiological studies using a panel of Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells expressing 54 missense CFTR mutations that cause defects in the amount or function of CFTR at the cell surface. Acute (5-min) addition of ivacaftor following CFTR activation by forskolin significantly (P = 0.05; paired t-test) increased chloride transport over baseline for a number of the mutant CFTR forms tested (Table 2; Fig. 2B). The net increase over baseline chloride transport by ivacaftor (ivacaftor response minus baseline) ranged from 1.8 to 155.0% of normal CFTR, reaching maximum sustained levels of 2.1 to 200.7% of normal CFTR (Table 2; Fig. 2B). The fold increase over baseline chloride transport (ivacaftor response divided by baseline) ranged from 1.6 to 52.0 (Table 2). The EC50 of ivacaftor for all mutant CFTR forms tested was similar to G551D-CFTR (range; 101 to 735 nM) (Table 2; Fig. 3). The remaining mutant CFTR forms had no significant response to ivacaftor under the experimental conditions used in this study (Table 2; Fig. 2B). In conclusion, ivacaftor potentiated multiple mutant CFTR forms produced by missense CFTR mutations expressed in a panel of FRT cells. These in vitro studies along with in vivo measures of residual CFTR function, such as exocrine pancreatic function or sweat chloride concentrations, could be used to help stratify patients with CF who have different CFTR genotypes for studies investigating the potential clinical benefit of ivacaftor.
