There is a gap in healthcare for pwCF, especially for those who do not routinely interact with a PCP. CF clinicians may not be up to date on primary care management and PCPs may not be comfortable with treating patients with a high acuity chronic condition. PCPs should be better integrated into the CF care team to ensure pwCF are receiving comprehensive care.
Flow cytometry was used to assess apoptosis, DNA damage and cell proliferation following treatment with either 15 µM ivacaftor or 30 µM carboplatin at 24, 48 and 72 h. ROR1 signalling associated oncogenic pathways including the BMI-1 and the PI3K/AKT pathways were modulated following ivacaftor treatment. In summary, ivacaftor demonstrated significant anti-tumour potential in preclinical HGSOC models, supporting its further investigation as a repurposed therapy for ovarian cancer.
