They are testing another set of CFTR modulators (from Sionna Therapeutics) in an effort to find a treatment for people who aren't eligible for, or cannot tolerate, Vertex modulators. Only in Ph 2 at the moment, but they seem to actually be more effective in normalizing CFTR function than the miraculous Vertex drugs! (Also, some people can tolerate the Vertex drugs at a lower dose, so that might be worth looking into. Alyftrek, the latest generation of Vertex drugs, might be worth a try as well.)

@tw508 Thanks so much for your information. I wonder whether the modulator be effective life long or they will be effective for 12 months and then patients have to change to another modulator? My mother got lung cancer, and the target therapy works on her for only 12 months. After 12 months, the effect is diminishing. Will the modulator be the same?
