Cystic Fibrosis Understanding

Cystic Fibrosis: Overview

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes long-lasting lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. More than 30,000 children and adults in the United States have CF (70,000 worldwide) and CF affects people of every racial and ethnic group. In people with CF, mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause the CFTR protein to become dysfunctional. When the protein is not working correctly, it’s unable to help move chloride -- a component of salt -- to the cell surface. Without the chloride to attract water to the cell surface, the mucus in various organs becomes thick and sticky. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps germs, like bacteria, leading to infections, inflammation, respiratory failure, and other complications. For this reason, avoiding germs is a top concern for people with CF. In men, CF can affect their ability to have children. People with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including: Very salty-tasting skin, persistent coughing, at times with phlegm, frequent lung infections including pneumonia or bronchitis, wheezing or shortness of breath, poor growth or weight gain in spite of a good appetite, frequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty with bowel movements, nasal polyps , chronic sinus infections and many more. Cystic fibrosis is a complex disease. The types of symptoms and how severe they are can differ widely from person to person.

Cystic Fibrosis Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Cystic Fibrosis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Cystic Fibrosis Emerging Drugs
• OligoG: Algi Pharma

OligoG is formulated as a dry powder for inhalation and is AlgiPharma’s lead drug candidate. It is an alginate oligosaccharide derived from seaweed, and is a new class of drug which is modulating mucus and normalizing mucus rheology. It is being developed to help people with cystic fibrosis clear mucus from their lungs. It is anticipated that OligoG may help to slow the progression of the disease. OligoG has been shown to disrupt the infectious biofilm often present in the lungs of individuals with CF. This biofilm disruption is believed to improve antibiotic effectiveness by increasing exposure of bacteria to antibiotics. It is in Phase 2 stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
• Ensifentrine: Verona Pharma

Ensifentrine combines bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties in one compound and has the potential to be an effective treatment for COPD and other respiratory diseases, including asthma and cystic fibrosis. It is designed to maximize its effectiveness and reduce adverse events through: high selectivity for PDE3 and PDE4 over other enzymes and receptors to minimize off-target effects; direct delivery to the lungs by inhalation to maximize pulmonary exposure to ensifentrine while minimizing systemic distribution and potential adverse events. Ensifentrine also activates the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), which is beneficial in reducing mucous viscosity and improving mucociliary clearance. This potentially makes it an attractive therapy for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is in Phase 2 stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
• MRT5005: Translate Bio

MRT5005 is the first clinical-stage mRNA product candidate designed to address the underlying cause of CF by delivering mRNA encoding fully functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein to the lung epithelial cells through nebulization. MRT5005 is being developed to treat all patients with CF, regardless of the underlying genetic mutation, including those with limited or no CFTR protein. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted MRT5005 Orphan Drug, Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designation. It is in Phase1/2 stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
• CB280: Calithera Biosciences

CB-280 is a potent and selective oral inhibitor of arginase. Arginase plays an important role in the pathophysiology of CF airway disease. Sputum from patients with CF has elevated arginase activity leading to diminished arginine levels. Reduced arginine is thought to exacerbate pulmonary disease in CF by impairing the production of nitric oxide, leading to a diminished anti-microbial immune response and impaired airway function. It is known that the airways of patients with CF have lower than normal nitric oxide production, and lower nitric oxide levels directly correlate with worsened lung function and increased colonization with pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is in Phase1 stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
• KB407 : Krystal Biotech

KB407 is a redosable gene therapy designed to correct the underlying cause of CF by delivering two copies of the CFTR gene directly to the airway epithelial cells when delivered via a nebulizer. By inducing expression of full length, normal CFTR protein in the lung, treatment with KB407 has potential to restore ion and water flow into and out of lung cells to correct the lung manifestations of the disease in patients regardless of their underlying genetic mutation. It is in Pre-Clinical stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
• SPL84231: SpliSense

SPL84-23-1, is designed to be mainly delivered via inhalation, effectively penetrates the target cells in the lungs, and binds to the target region, thereby preventing the inclusion of 84 intronic nucleotides as a cryptic exon, and generating a fully functioning CFTR protein. It is in Pre-Clinical stage of development for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
