What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant during the study; event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. This includes any newly occurring event/previous condition that has increased in severity/frequency after informed consent form is signed. AE includes serious as well as non-serious AEs. SAE (subset of AE): medical event, which falls into any of the following categories, regardless of its relationship to study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. TEAEs: AEs that started/ worsened on/after the start of study drug through the Safety Follow up Visit (4 weeks after the last dose of study drug). Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Week 28

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Absolute Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Up to Week 24

    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration. Hankinson and Wang standards were used to calculate percent predicted FEV1 (for age, gender, and height). The Hankinson standard was used for male participants 18 years and older and female participants 16 years and older. The Wang standard was used for male participants aged 12 to 17 years and for female participants aged 12 to 15 years. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to Week 24

  2. Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Up to Week 24

    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration. Hankinson and Wang standards were used to calculate FEV1 (for age, gender, race, and height). The Hankinson standard was used for male participants 18 years and older and female participants 16 years and older. The Wang standard was used for male participants aged 12 to 17 years and for female participants aged 12 to 15 years. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to Week 24

  3. Duration For Which Participants Received Intravenous (IV) Antibiotics

    The duration for which participants received IV antibiotics for sinopulmonary signs and symptoms were reported. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 24

  4. Number of Hospitalizations

    Number of hospitalizations (all causes) through Week 24 was summarized. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 24

  5. Absolute Change From Baseline in Sweat Chloride at Average of Day 15 and Week 4

    Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device. Baseline was defined as the average of the measurements at screening and on Day 1 pre-dose. The average absolute change from baseline in sweat chloride was derived as: (Average of Day 15 and Week 4 value) minus Baseline value. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 15 and Week 4

  6. Absolute Change From Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score Through Week 24

    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 (for example, coughing, congestion, wheezing), the scaled score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life. Results were reported as planned, as a combined single LUM/IVA arm irrespective of permitted dose modification.

    Measured: Baseline, Through Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lumacaftor and Ivacaftor in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Advanced Lung Disease, run by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Nov 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Day 1 up to Week 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02390219, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Dec 2017.
