What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VX-670Drug
Solution for intravenous administration.
PlaceboDrug
Solution for intravenous administration.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Part A: Single Ascending Dose | Experimental | Participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of different dose levels of VX-670. Receives: Drug: VX-670 |
| Part A: Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participants will be randomized to receive single dose of placebo matched to VX-670. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
| Part B: Single and Multiple Ascending Dose | Experimental | Participants will be randomized to receive single and multiple doses of different dose levels of VX-670. The dose levels will be determined based on the data from Part A. Receives: Drug: VX-670 |
| Part B: Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participants will be randomized to receive single or multiple doses of placebo matched to VX-670. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Parts A and B: Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Measured: Part A: From Baseline up to Day 42; Part B: From Baseline and up to Day 168
Secondary outcomes (6)
Part A: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of VX-670 and its Active Component in Plasma
Measured: From Day 1 up to Day 42
Part A: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of VX-670 and its Active Component in Plasma
Measured: From Day 1 up to Day 42
Part B: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of VX-670 and its Active Component in Plasma After Each Dose
Measured: From Day 1 up to Day 168
Part B: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of VX-670 and its Active Component in Plasma After Each Dose
Measured: From Day 1 up to Day 168
Part B: Concentration of VX-670 and its Active Component in Muscle
Measured: Baseline, Day 15 and Day 120
Part B: Change in Splicing Index in Muscle Biopsy
Measured: Baseline, Day 15 and Day 120
