Cl - Proof-of-concept for mutation-specific therapy Class III gating mutations- G551D X Most common CF gating mutation Mutant protein is present on the epithelial cell surface - ion transport is reduced High throughput screening of small molecules identified ‘potentiators’: molecules that increased G551D function at the cell surface X

Are there other patients with CF who may benefit from ivacaftor monotherapy? Other gating mutations Infants and toddlers with G551D Mutations, like R117H, that result in residual CFTR function
24
Ivacaftor coverage of other gating mutations In vitro studies have shown that ivacaftor improves chloride transport in CF cells with other CFTR gating mutations 1 G178R, S549N, S549R, G551S, G970R, G1244E, S1251N, G1349D, S1255P KONNECTION Study: Blinded, placebo-controlled 8 week crossover study of ivacaftor in other CFTR gating mutations with open label extension 2 At 8 weeks, FEV 1 change from baseline favored ivacaftor treatment by 10.7% predicted (P <.0001) Comparable to ivacaftor treatment effect seen at 24 weeks in G551D patients (10.6% predicted, P <.0001) 1- Yu et al.

34
CFTR correctors Good news: significant progress in patients who have two F508del mutations Ongoing challenges: Correction is a multi-step process which may require more than one drug If a patient has only one F508del mutation (i.e., F508del heterozygote), the overall clinical response is often reduced.

Model for studying rare mutations: Individual (n=1) trials for clinical response to CFTR modulators Vertex is currently using this approach to study ivacaftor response in patients with residual CFTR function and splice variants Single-center, randomized, double-blind, multiple within-subject (N-of-One) crossover study in patients with rare mutations Active Drug Cycle 1Cycle 2 Daily Home Monitoring Open-Label Wk 16Wk -2 Wk 24 Wk 12 Wk 8 Wk 4 Day 1 Key outcome measures: Primary: Change from baseline in % predicted FEV 1 after 2 weeks of treatment Multiple secondary outcomes may be measured Kindly provided by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Our Goal: Develop Disease Modifying Therapies for 100% of Patients with CF Other non-allele specific therapeutic approaches are being pursued to achieve this goal gene replacement gene repair mRNA replacement protein replacement An excellent example: UK Cystic Fibrosis Gene Therapy Consortium
52
Current status of UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium double blind, placebo controlled multidose trial Nebulized treatment regimens −CFTR+liposome in 5ml of 0.9% saline −0.9% saline alone (placebo) Twelve monthly doses Eligible patients −Diagnosis of CF −Age: > 12 years Primary endpoint, FEV 1 Current status: 123 patients dosed Results available in Autumn 2014!

53
Beyond CFTR: will we still need new therapies to treat symptoms of CF? Yes, because CFTR modulators are not expected to reverse existing organ dysfunction (lung, pancreas, liver, GI tract) Prevention of organ damage is critical until CFTR modulator therapy is available to 100% of patients in infancy Normal AirwayCF Airway
