this sounds SOOO promising. though I am realistic about how long these drugs take to come out on the market, a few years isn't so bad... that means by the time i graduate college there may potentially be a drug that is close to the cure!!! thanks for posting this, it made me day =)

The CFF believes that other mutations "may" benefit from this drug....though it's mechanism works by increasing the number of d508 CFTR at the cell membrane as well as opening the channel (corrector and potentiator)...per what I've learned, they've studied hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of compounds to find VX-809. I'd like to know what the "compound" is, but we're not privy to that info. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

CFF scientists and doctors believe that an overall percentage of functioning CFTR could be as low at 15% for CF symptoms to subside significantly. Crazy!! Once a drug makes it to phase 2, it has a 50% chance of FDA approval....

You bet! You can find the information by viewing Plenary Session 2 at <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cff.org/research/NACFC/.">http://www.cff.org/research/NACFC/.</a>

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I am now wondering if the statistic was presented as 50% of phase 2 drugs make it to phase 3. If 50% achieving FDA approval is incorrect, it's still encouraging if 50% make it through to phase 3.
