Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Homozygous for <i>F508del</i> with Lumacaftor-Ivacaftor (Orkambi<sup>®</sup>) Restores Defective CFTR Channel Function in Circulating Mononuclear Cells

Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Homozygous for <i>F508del</i> with Lumacaftor-Ivacaftor (Orkambi<sup>®</sup>) Restores Defective CFTR Channel Function in Circulating Mononuclear Cells

The treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients homozygous for the <i>F508del</i> mutation with Orkambi<sup>®</sup>, a combination of a corrector (lumacaftor) and a potentiator (ivacaftor) of the mutated CFTR protein, resulted in some amelioration of the respiratory function....
