About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of VX-445 in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis

This is a first-in-human and proof-of-concept study of VX-445. The study includes 6 parts. Parts A, B, and C were conducted in healthy subjects. Parts D, E, and F were conducted in subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F/F genotype), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ, IVA, or TEZ/IVA (F/MF genotypes).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing IVA, TEZ/IVA and VX-445 in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 38 sites in 4 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 18 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 18 Jan 2022). 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?

Parts A, B and C: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: From first dose of study drug in treatment period up to safety follow-up (up to 28 days)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03227471, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Jan 2022.
