A CFTR potentiator in patients with cystic fibrosis and the G551D mutation.
Ivacaftor was associated with improvements in lung function at 2 weeks that were sustained through 48 weeks and substantial improvements were also observed in the risk of pulmonary exacerbations, patient-reported respiratory symptoms, weight, and concentration of sweat chloride.
