  • Ages 6 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Evidence of signed and dated informed consent/assent document(s) indicating that the subject (and/or his parent/legal guardian) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.
  • Age ≥6 years
  • Body weight ≥16 kg
  • Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and documentation of the presence of a nonsense mutations of the CFTR gene, as determined by historical genotyping
  • Ability to perform a valid, reproducible spirometry with demonstration of a forced expiratory volume in 1second (FEV1) ≥30% and ≤90% of predicted for age, gender, and height.
  • If the subject is sexually active, willingness to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ a barrier or medical method of contraception during the study drug administration
  • Willingness and ability to comply with all study procedures and assessments.
  • Currently being administered ivacaftor, either alone (Kalydeco) or in combination with lumacaftor (Orkambi)

Who cannot join

  • Any change (initiation, change in type of drug, dose modification, schedule modification, interruption, discontinuation, or re-initiation) in a chronic treatment/prophylaxis regimen for CF or for CF-related conditions within 2 weeks prior to screening.
  • Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial.
  • Evidence of pulmonary exacerbation or acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection (including viral illnesses) within 2 weeks prior to screening.
  • Ongoing inhaled tobramycin therapy.
  • Ongoing immunosuppressive therapy (other than corticosteroids up to 10mg/d equivalent of prednisone)
  • Ongoing warfarin, phenytoin, or tolbutamide therapy.

  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation.
  • A history of positive hepatitis B surface antigen test, hepatitis C antibody test, or human immunodeficiency
  • Major complications of lung disease (including massive hemoptysis, pneumothorax, or pleural effusion) within 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
  • Current smoker or a smoking history of ≥10 pack-years (number of cigarette packs/day × number of years smoked).
  • Prior or ongoing medical condition (eg, renal failure, alcoholism, drug abuse, psychiatric condition), medical history, physical findings, ECG findings, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the subject, makes it unlikely that the course of treatment or follow-up would be completed, or could impair the assessment of study results.

About this study

Official title: An Open Label N of 1 Study to Evaluate the Study and Efficacy of Long-Term Treatment With Ivacaftor in Combination With Ataluren (PTC124) in Subjects With Nonsense Mutation Cystic Fibrosis

The purpose of this study is to explore the combination of ataluren and ivacaftor as a treatment for patients with nonsense mutation cystic fibrosis

Read the detailed description

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life threatening genetic disorder resulting from mutations found in the CF gene known as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or CFTR. This defect prevents correct chloride absorption in and out of the cells The purpose of this study is to explore the combination of ataluren and ivacaftor as a treatment for patients with a specific cystic fibrosis mutation

What is being measured

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

  1. FEV1 as a Measure of Lung Function

    effect of ataluren on lung function as assessed by spirometry and measured by percentage of Liters (minimum value would be .0% Liters and maximum value of liters is dependent from person to person). The higher the value the better the outcome. The measure will include the change from baseline to one year to report a change between the two measurement points

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ataluren in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 13 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 26 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 26 Mar 2020). 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?

FEV1 as a Measure of Lung Function (time frame: 1 year). 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 26 Mar 2020.
