Ivacaftor
This CFTR potentiator is used to treat cystic fibrosis in patients with specific mutations (such as G551D) that cause the CFTR protein to be present but dysfunctional. It works by binding to the abnormal CFTR protein and keeping its chloride channel open for longer, improving airway hydration and mucus clearance. It was the first therapy to target the underlying genetic defect in cystic fibrosis.
