The FDA has approved Alyftrek (Vertex), an oral
fixed-dose combination of the cystic fibrosis
transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
modulators vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor,
for once-daily treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in
patients ≥6 years old who have at least one F508del
mutation or another responsive mutation in the
CFTR gene. This is the first approval for vanzacaftor
and for deutivacaftor, a deuterated form of ivacaftor.
Trikafta, a twice-daily oral fixed-dose combination of
elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, is FDA-approved
for the same indication in patients ≥2 years old.
