A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of VX-440 Combination Therapy in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA therapy (F508del/MF).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures.
  • To prevent pregnancy, female participants of childbearing potential and their male partners will be required to use pre-specified, highly effective methods of non-hormonal contraception. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential will be required to use a condom.
  • Body weight ≥35 kg.
  • Sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L from test results obtained during screening.
  • Subjects must have an eligible CFTR genotype:
  • Heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function (MF) mutation known or predicted not to be responsive to TEZ and/or IVA.
  • Homozygous for F508del
  • Subjects must have an FEV1 ≥40% and ≤90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height at the Screening Visit
  • Stable CF disease as judged by the investigator.
  • Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through the planned end of treatment or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • History of any comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject.
  • History of cirrhosis with portal hypertension.
  • Risk factors for Torsade de Pointes
  • History of hemolysis.
  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency assessed at Screening.
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at screening
  • An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy for pulmonary disease within 28 days before the first dose of study drug.
  • Lung infection with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status
  • An acute illness not related to CF within 14 days before the first dose of study drug
  • A standard digital ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening.
  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation.
  • History or evidence of cataract or lens opacity determined to be clinically significant by the ophthalmologist or optometrist based on the ophthalmologic examination during the Screening Period.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse in the past year, including but not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, and opiates, as deemed by the investigator.
  • Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study, with certain exceptions. (e.g., ongoing participation in NCT02565914)
  • Use of commercially available CFTR modulator (e.g., Kalydeco, Orkambi) within 14 days before screening (applies only to the Heterozygous F508del/MF cohorts; does not apply to the Homozygous F508del/F508del Cohort).
  • Pregnant or nursing females: Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and Day 1.

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From first dose of Study Drug in the Treatment Period through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 57 for Part 1 and Day 85 for Part 2)

  2. Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)

    Time frame: From Baseline through Day 29

    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations

    Time frame: From Baseline through Day 29

    Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.

  2. Relative Change in ppFEV1

    Time frame: From Baseline through Day 29

    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

  3. Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score

    Time frame: From Baseline at Day 29

    The CFQ-R is a validated participant-reported outcome measuring health-related quality of life for participants with cystic fibrosis. Respiratory domain assessed respiratory symptoms, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.

  4. Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-440, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA and M1-IVA

    Time frame: Predose at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 29
