Full title

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of VX-445 Combination Therapy in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Who Are Heterozygous for the F508del Mutation and a Gating or Residual Function Mutation (F/G and F/RF Genotypes)

Study details

This study is being done to learn more about a new medication called ‘VX-445’ when taken in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor. All three of these medications are known as CFTR modulators. CFTR modulators work to treat the underlying genetic cause of cystic fibrosis. This combination of medication is being assessed in people with Cystic Fibrosis who are 12 years and older and who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a gating or residual function mutation. The study will investigate how well these medications work and to check that they are safe to use. It is the hope that this combination of medications will have positive effects in some people with Cystic Fibrosis Participants will be asked to come into the clinic at the recruitment centre 9 times over a 5 month period where a study assessment will take place (blood tests, questionnaires, lung function etc.).


Study results

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of Kaftrio in people aged 12 or older who have one F508del gene variant and one gating or residual function gene variant. 

258 people took part in total. They were split into two groups – one group received Kaftrio and the other group received a control treatment (either ivacaftor or tezacaftor and ivacaftor). 

Participants in the group receiving Kaftrio had an average 3.5% higher lung function than the control group. They also had lower sweat chloride levels, which suggests higher CFTR function. There was no significant difference in the number of adverse events between the groups.

The results suggest Kaftrio is more effective than other existing modulator treatments. This supports Kaftrio being used as a treatment for people with these gene variants.
