Delta F508 effective 2015

Question
Hello,
my 12-year-old daughter suffers from the above mentioned mutation. I have heard, that there is a drug available in the course of this year. Is it true and how does it act?
Thank you
Answer
Dear questioner,
drugs for the treatment of the mutation F508del-CFTR are until now not available on a prescription from the physician - the known potentiators and correctors of the company Vertex are at the moment still investigated in the frame of clinical studies
