Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting disease caused by defective or deficient cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activity. The recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of lumacaftor combined with ivacaftor (Orkambi) targets patients with the F508del-CFTR. The question remains: Is this breakthrough combination therapy the "magic-bullet" cure for the vast majority of patients with CF? This review covers the contemporary clinical and scientific knowledge-base for lumacaftor/ivacaftor and highlights the emerging issues from recent conflicting literature reports.
囊性纤维化(CF)是一种由囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)活性缺陷或不足引起的危及生命的疾病。美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)最近批准的鲁马卡托与依伐卡托联合用药(Orkambi)针对的是携带F508del-CFTR突变的患者。问题依然存在:这种突破性的联合疗法对绝大多数囊性纤维化患者来说是否是“万灵药”?这篇综述涵盖了鲁马卡托/依伐卡托的当代临床和科学知识基础,并突出了近期相互矛盾的文献报告中出现的新问题。
