What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Measured: Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 43 for Part 1 and Day 71 for Part 2)
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Measured: From Baseline at Day 15
Absolute Change in ppFEV1 Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Measured: From Baseline Through Day 29
Secondary outcomes (7)
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A
Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Measured: From Baseline at Day 15
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B
Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Measured: From Baseline Through Day 29
Relative Change in ppFEV1 at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Measured: From Baseline at Day 15
Relative Change in ppFEV1 Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Measured: From Baseline Through Day 29
Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A
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, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.
Measured: From Baseline at Day 15
Absolute Change From Baseline in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain Score at Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B
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, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.
Measured: From Baseline at Day 29
Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-152, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA, and M1-IVA
Measured: Pre-dose at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 29

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing VX-152, TEZ/IVA and IVA in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 16 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 9 inclusion and 16 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 28 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 16 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. 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 28 Jan 2021). 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?
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 43 for Part 1 and Day 71 for Part 2)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jan 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
