A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of VX-371 in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Who Are Homozygous for the F508del-CFTR Mutation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with VX-371 in hypertonic saline compared to hypertonic saline alone in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are ≥12 years of age, homozygous for the F508del-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation, and being treated with Orkambi

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Willing and able to use the delivery device as directed by the study manual.
  • Confirmed diagnosis of CF, defined as a sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis.
  • Homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation. If the CFTR screening genotype result is not received before randomization, a previous CFTR genotype lab report may be used to establish eligibility.
  • Percent predicted forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) of ≥40 to <90 percentage points adjusted for age, sex, and height according to the Global Lung Initiative (GLI) at the Screening Visit.
  • Willing to discontinue physician-prescribed saline use.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential with a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • History of any comorbidity, which 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.
  • Any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at the Screening Visit that would interfere with the study assessments or pose an undue risk for the subject.
  • An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy (including antibiotics) for pulmonary disease within 28 days before Day 1 (first dose of study drug).
  • A 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTcF >450 msec at the Screening Visit.
  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation.
  • Used diuretics or renin-angiotensin aldosterone system antihypertensive drugs in the 28 days prior to Screening or an anticipated need for any of these medications during the study.
  • Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study within 30 days of the Screening Visit.
  • Inability to withhold short-acting, long-acting, or once-daily, long-acting bronchodilator use for 4, 12, or 24 hours prior to clinic visit, respectively.
  • History of significant intolerance to inhaled saline, or intolerance to the single dose of saline at Screening
  • Known hypersensitivity or history of intolerance to Orkambi.
  • Pregnant and nursing females.
  • Subjects who have participated in Parion Sciences Study NCT02343445.

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 28 days post last administration of study drug (up to 112 days)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs included abnormal clinically significant findings for spirometry, clinical laboratory parameters, standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs and ophthalmologic examinations. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 112 days (up to 28 days after last dose) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

  2. Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Day 28

    Time frame: Study baseline, Day 28

    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration. Study Baseline was defined as the most recent non-missing measurement before the first dose of inhaled study drug in the study. Day 28 measurements after treatment discontinuation from the treatment period in which discontinuation occurred were included in the analysis.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma Concentrations of VX-371

    Time frame: Pre-dose (90 minutes prior inhaled study drug administration) and 60 minutes post-dose on Days 1, 14 and 28 within treatment period 1 and 2

  2. Urine Concentrations of VX-371

    Time frame: Pre-dose (90 minutes prior inhaled study drug administration) and 60 minutes post-dose on Days 1, 14 and 28 within treatment period 1 and 2
