False-positive cannabinoid screens in adult cystic fibrosis patients treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis

“Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by gene mutations resulting in defective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein activity. CFTR modulators have been developed to improve CFTR protein function. The combination of ivacaftor (IVA) and lumacaftor (LUM) partially restores CFTR protein function of F508del, the most common CF mutation.”
