Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. While cystic fibrosis is a multi-organ disease, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality are related to progressive lung disease. Current understanding of the effects of the broad spectrum of CFTR mutations on CFTR function has allowed for the development of CFTR modulator therapies. Despite the remarkable impact that these therapies have had, there remains a significant proportion of people with cystic fibrosis (estimated at 10-15% of the global cystic fibrosis population) who are genetically ineligible for, or intolerant to, current CFTR-targeting therapies and whose therapeutic needs remain unmet. Inhaled genetic therapies offer the prospect of addressing the unmet pulmonary treatment need in people with cystic fibrosis, with several approaches, including gene addition therapy (the focus of this review), RNA-based therapies, antisense oligonucleotides and gene editing, being explored. Various non-viral and viral vectors have been investigated for cystic fibrosis gene addition therapy for mutation-agnostic restoration of CFTR function in the lungs. Lentiviral vectors offer the prospect of highly efficient and long-lasting gene expression, and the potential to be safely and, in contrast to other commonly used viral vectors, effectively re-dosed. A third-generation lentiviral vector pseudotyped with Sendai virus F and HN envelope proteins (rSIV.F/HN) has been developed for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Promising preclinical results support the progression of this vector carrying a full-length CFTR transgene (BI 3720931) into a first-in-human clinical trial expected to begin in 2024.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complex fatal condition that requires aggressive treatment with close monitoring. Significant progress has been made over the last three decades in the treatment of PAH, but, despite this progress, survival has remained unacceptably low. In the quest to improve survival, therapeutic interventions play a central role. In the last few years, there have been remarkable attempts to identify novel treatments. Finally, we have had a breakthrough with the discovery of the fourth treatment pathway in PAH. Activin signaling inhibition distinguishes itself as a potential antiproliferative intervention as opposed to the traditional therapies, which mediate their effect primarily by vasodilatation. With this novel treatment pathway, we stand at an important milestone with an exciting future ahead and the natural question of when to use an activin signaling inhibitor for the treatment of PAH. In this state-of-the-art review, we focus on the placement of this novel agent in the PAH treatment paradigm, based on the available evidence, with special focus on the U.S. patient population. This review also provides an expert opinion of the current treatment algorithm in important subgroups of patients with comorbidities from the U.S. perspective.
