In other news on potential treatments for cystic fibrosis, Vertex Pharmaceuticals recently received a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) from the US FDA for their lead CF treatment, Kalydeco® (ivacaftor), formulated to treat the disease in patients 6 years and older, carrying the R117H mutation in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The agency partially based its approval on encouraging findings from a Phase III clinical trial for Kalydeco on 69 CF patients with the R117H mutation. An estimated 500 people or more in the United States have this specific mutation. With Kalydeco’s sNDA, over 3,100 people in North America, Europe and Australia will have a new treatment option.
