CFTR Modulator Response in Nasal Organoids Derived from People with Cystic Fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: Despite the progressive extension of CFTR variant eligibility to the triple combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), most rare CFTR pathogenic variants remain ineligible for CFTR modulators. It is crucial to determine whether unexplored variants are rescuable by clinical modulators and to identify innovative therapeutic strategies for rescuing non-responder variants. The approach known as "theratyping" (in vitro testing of genotypes) has been accepted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the extension of clinical modulators' approval for in vitro responding genotypes. We used one of the most advanced models for theratyping: organoids derived from nasal epithelia of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). We optimized the forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) of
