OVERVIEW OF MUTATION CLASSES
- Describe how CFTR mutations can be
classified (by type, by class, by therapies).
- Discuss the variety of CFTR mutations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
…IN 1989
www.theatlantic.com lifesciencesfoundation.org www.npr.org
Class I: Defective protein production with premature termination of CFTR
- production. Examples: G542X, 1717-1G->A, CFTRdele2,3. No protein
produced. Class II: Defective processing or trafficking of CFTR. Examples: F508del,
- N1303K. No protein at the cell surface.
Class III: Defective regulation of CFTR. Examples: G551D, S549N. Adequate protein, no CFTR activity. Class IV: CFTR chloride transport through the channel is defective. Examples: R117H, D1152H. Adequate protein, reduced CFTR activity. Class V: Reduced amount of functional CFTR. Examples: 2789+5G->A, 3849+10kbC->T. Reduced protein at cell surface. Class VI: Increased turnover, Reduced protein at cell surface.
CFTR MUTATION CLASSES
hopkinscf.org
- The class of most of the ~2000 CFTR mutations is not
known
– It can be implied based on mutation type (for nonsense “X”
mutations, mutations to splice donor/acceptor sites “-1 or +1”, or mutations that cause a frameshift)
– Unknown for missense mutations
- Class is not always a simple assignment

Why is the overall clinical response modest?
–‘Random’ read through –No evidence of translational read-through activity for
PTC124 (McElroy et al PLOS Biology 2013)
–Nonsense mediated mRNA decay? –Certain stop codons may respond better

- CFTR is a drug-able target
- Ataluren has a limited impact on clinical outcomes in CF
- Lumacaftor/ivacaftor is a promising combination
- More potent correctors and potentiators are currently
under development and soon to start clinical trial

GENE THERAPY
- Efforts to date hampered by
limited efficiency of gene transfer with multiple vectors
- UK consortium: single dose safe
and partially restores Cl- secretory response
- Phase 3 randomized, multiple
dose study in progress (NCT #01621867)
- Monthly doses of CpG free, promoter
- ptimized plasmid in lipid complex
- ver one year

GENE EDITING
Schwank et al., Cell Stem Cell 2013
Technologies being developed to correct specific mutations (eg. F508del) in airway cells or inducible pleuropotent stem cells (iPS cells)
GENE EDITING
Schwank et al., Cell Stem Cell 2013
- Novel RNA antisense oligonucleotide based
therapies
- QR-010 is being developed for CF patients with
F508del (homozygotes and compound heterozygotes)
- Preclinical data suggests that QR-010 results
in expression of functional CFTR
- Phase 1b Safety and Tolerability in CF patients
will potentially begin late 2014
QR-010 FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS
- Sub-clinical phase: asymptomatic - newborn to
early childhood
- Early clinical phase: normal lung function but
intermittent infections and mild bronchiectasis
- Late phase: chronic infections, reduced lung
function, and progressive bronchiectasis
STAGES OF CF LUNG DISEASE AS FRAMEWORK FOR CFTR MODULATORS
CLINICAL TRIAL NETWORKS: TDN/CTN
OPPORTUNITY TO BROADLY TRANSFORM THE TREATMENT OF CF
GOAL: Treat the vast majority of CF patients and continue to enhance the benefit for those we treat
Addressable Cystic Fibrosis population
>17,000 F508del heterozygous >5,000 Gating/ R117H/ Residual CFTR >2,000 G551D
ivacaftor monotherapy Next gen correctors triple combinatons ivacaftor + corrector ivacaftor Complex regimens
vast majority of all CF patients > 28,000 F508del homozygous
- Clear understanding of CF from organ dysfunction to
gene mutations to protein structure to cell biology to medicinal chemistry has led to CFTR modulators that are likely to further improve survival
- Multi-disciplinary efforts by patients and families/CF
Foundation, clinical investigators, basic scientists in academia and industry, health care providers: brink of corrective therapies for majority of patients
