What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute Change in Total Brody/CF-CT Score

    The exploratory Brody/CF-CT score semi-quantitatively scores the degree of structural lung disease as shown on CT in participants with CF. The score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 219 with higher scores indicating more severe structural lung disease.

    Measured: From Baseline at Week 72

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Measured: Day 1 up to Week 76

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor and Ivacaftor in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 9 sites in Australia.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 23 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 21 Aug 2019). 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?

Absolute Change in Total Brody/CF-CT Score (time frame: From Baseline at Week 72). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Oct 2019.
