Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: ELX-02 is a compound designed to restore CFTR function in people with CF who have nonsense mutations. Nonsense mutations (also known as “x” or “stop” mutations) in the CFTR gene cause the production of CFTR protein to stop prematurely. ELX-02 is intended allow lung cells to override these premature stop signals and make full-length, functional CFTR protein.

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
A synthetic eukaryotic ribosome-selective aminoglycoside optimized as a translational read‐through molecule that induces read through of nonsense mutations, resulting in normally localized full‐length functional proteins. Is being developed (as ELX-02 (disulfate)) as a therapy for genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations, in particular for CTNSW138X translational read-through in patients with cystinosis. |
