MOA
12.1 Mechanism of Action Ivacaftor is a potentiator of the CFTR protein. The CFTR protein is a chloride channel present at the surface of epithelial cells in multiple organs. Ivacaftor facilitates increased chloride transport by potentiating the channel open probability (or gating) of CFTR protein located at the cell surface. The overall level of ivacaftor-mediated CFTR chloride transport is dependent on the amount of CFTR protein at the cell surface and how responsive a particular mutant CFTR protein is to ivacaftor potentiation. CFTR Chloride Transport Assay in Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cells expressing mutant CFTR The chloride transport response of mutant CFTR protein to ivacaftor was determined in Ussing chamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of FRT cell lines transfected with individual CFTR mutations. Ivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing CFTR mutations that result in CFTR protein being delivered to the cell surface. The in vitro CFTR chloride transport response threshold was designated as a net increase of at least 10% of normal over baseline because it is predictive or reasonably expected to predict clinical benefit. For individual mutations, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response. A patient must have at least one CFTR mutation responsive to ivacaftor to be indicated. Note that splice site mutations cannot be studied in the FRT assay. Evidence of clinical efficacy exists for non-canonical splice mutations 2789+5G→A , 3272-26A→G , 3849+10kbC→T , 711+3A→G and E831X and these are listed in Table 3 below [see also Clinical Studies (14.4) ] . The G970R mutation causes a splicing defect resulting in little-to-no CFTR protein at the cell surface that can be potentiated by ivacaftor [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Ivacaftor also increased chloride transport in cultured human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells derived from CF
