Target FeasibilityThe ATP-binding site within the NBD1 region appears difficult to target without disrupting channel activity, which could complicate discovery efforts and limit the effectiveness of NBD1-directed drugs.
Trial Design And Endpoint RiskA small crossover study with limited treatment duration increases reliance on sweat chloride as the primary efficacy measure and may constrain ability to demonstrate clinically meaningful lung function improvements.
