Vertex to Present New Data on ALYFTREK® at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference

$VRTXPress releaseOct 9, 2026, 1:15 PM ETRead the release

Vertex presented interim data at NACFC showing ALYFTREK restored exocrine pancreatic function in some children ages 2-5, with 37.5% of the 48-child substudy successfully discontinuing pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. Mean fecal elastase-1 rose 110.2 µg/g from baseline to 239.7 µg/g, with nearly half of children reaching the sufficiency threshold — challenging the long-held view that pancreatic failure in CF is irreversible.
