Cystic Fibrosis:The Modulator Era
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by variants in the CFTR gene. CFTR is a crucial membrane protein responsible for chloride transport in epithelial cells, impacting organ function. The Modulator Era focuses on CFTR modulators approved by the FDA for treating CF and improving outcomes. Learn about CF pathophysiology, CFTR mutations, and the importance of balanced ion gradients in managing CF. Explore the impact of CFTR dysfunction on pulmonary and extrapulmonary health.

Cystic Fibrosis: The Modulator Era Jake Brockmeyer, PharmD, BCPS, BCPPS Clinical Pharmacist Specialist, Cystic Fibrosis March 9th, 2024
The Eras Era The Modulator Era.. This may sound like a reference to Taylor Swift as she dominates the media during her "Eras Tour" However, the Modulator Era started well before her tour and this concept starting showing up in CF literature as early as 2015. So maybe Taylor actually got the idea from us?
Learning Objectives Understand the pathophysiology of CFTR protein as it relates to Cystic fibrosis Review FDA approved CFTR modulators Describe pulmonary and extrapulmonary outcomes of interest 3
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) CF is a genetic disease caused by variants of the CFTR gene Must get copy of the gene from both parents 1 in 2500 people born with CF 1 in 20 people are carriers of one gene www.cff.org/What-is-CF/Testing/Carrier-Testing-for-Cystic-Fibrosis/ 4
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) CFTR is a membrane protein belonging to the ABC transporter family CFTR transports Cl-out of epithelial cells CFTR is important to balance the ionic gradient and hydrate epithelial lining of various organs Education Steering Group. http://www.cftr.info.

Mutations There are over 2000 mutations that lead to dysfunctional CFTR 7
Outcome of F508del mutation Causes a defect in processing leading to decreased number of active proteins on the membrane For the active proteins that do make it, this mutation also disrupts channel opening Correcting CFTR activity in patients with this mutation would require a two-step approach Wainwright CE, Elborn JS, Ramsey BW, et al.
