Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of ARCT-032 in People With Cystic Fibrosis

ARCT-032-02 is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, multiple-ascending dose study of ARCT-032 in adults with CF who are not eligible for CFTR modulator therapy or are not taking CFTR modulators due to drug intolerance, poor response, or lack of access to modulators.

About this study

This is an open-label, multiple-ascending dose study of ARCT-032 in adults with CF who are not on CFTR modulator therapy. After successful screening, eligible participants enrolled in cohorts 1-3 will receive nebulized ARCT-032 daily for 4 weeks and then will be followed for safety for a total of 12 weeks. In cohort 4, eligible participants will receive nebulized ARCT-032 for 12 weeks and will then be followed for safety for an additional 12 weeks.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis
  • Not eligible for CFTR modulator therapy or not taking CFTR modulators for at least 60 days prior to dosing (e.g. due to intolerance, poor response, or lack of access to modulators)
  • FEV1 between 40% to 100% (cohorts 1-3) and 45% to 90% (cohort 4, inclusive) of predicted value for age, sex and height

Exclusion criteria

  • History of illness or medical condition that might pose an additional risk or may confound study results
  • Recent moderate or severe hemoptysis
  • Recent major surgery
  • Solid organ or hematologic transplant
  • Requirement of supplemental oxygen while awake or > 2L per minute while sleeping.
  • Chronic maintenance systemic corticosteroids exceeding equivalent of daily 15 mg oral prednisone or 30 mg every other day
  • Adequate liver and kidney function as determined by lab tests

Treatment and study plan

ARCT-032

Biological

CFTR mRNA formulated in lipid nanoparticles

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence, severity and dose relationship of adverse events

    Time frame: Cohorts 1-3: 16 weeks and Cohort 4: 24 weeks

    Safety and tolerability of ARCT-032 assess by determining incidence, severity and dose-relationship of AEs by dose level

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics - Plasma Concentration

    Time frame: Up to 6 weeks

    Plasma concentration of ARCT-032 mRNA and lipid components

  2. Pharmacodynamics--Lung Function

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Change from baseline in FEV1

  3. Pharmacodynamics--Cystic Fibrosis Quality of Life Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Change from baseline in CFQ-R RSS (Respiratory Symptoms Scale) Score. Overall CFQ-R score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better health.

  4. High Resolution Computed Chromatography

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Changes from baseline to end of treatment in chest-HRCT-scan scores (e.g., airway wall thickness, air trapping, and mucus plugging scores)

  5. EQ-5D-5L (Cohort 4 only)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Change from baseline to end of treatment (Day 84) in EQ-5D-5L questionnaire scores
