- Registration Number
- NCT02797132
- Lead Sponsor
- Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated
- Brief Summary
This is a Phase 3, 2-part (Part A and Part B), open-label, multicenter study evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) in subjects 2 through 5 years of age (inclusive) with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for F508del. Subjects who participate in Part A may participate in Part B, if they meet the eligibility criteria.

Group Intervention Description Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) LUM/IVA Part A (\<14 kg): Participants weighing less than (\<) 14 kilograms (kg) at screening received LUM 100 milligram (mg)/IVA 125 mg fixed-dose combination every 12 hours for 15 days in Part A. Part A (\>=14 kg): Participants weighing greater than or equal to (\>=) 14 kg at screening received LUM 150 mg/IVA 188 mg fixed-dose combination every 12 hours for 15 days in Part A. Part B (\<14 kg): Participants weighing \<14 kg at screening received LUM 100 mg/IVA 125 mg fixed-dose combination every 12 hours for 24 weeks in Part B. Part B (\>=14 kg): Participants weighing \>=14 kg at screening received LUM 150 mg/IVA 188 mg fixed-dose combination every 12 hours for 24 weeks in Part B.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Day 1 up to Week 26 Part A: Pre-dose Concentration (Ctrough) of LUM and IVA Day 15
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Stature (Height) at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 Part B: Number of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)-Related Hospitalizations Through Week 24 Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Fecal Elastase-1 (FE-1) Levels at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 Part A: Pre-dose Concentration (Ctrough) of LUM and IVA Metabolites Day 15 Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) For-Age Z-Score at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in m\^2. z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. BMI, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as BMI-for-age z-score (BMI z-score).
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Serum Levels of Immunoreactive Trypsinogen (IRT) Through Week 24 Baseline, Through Week 24 Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Weight-for-age Z-Score at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Weight, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as weight-for-age z-score (Weight z-score).
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Stature-for-Age Z-Score Baseline, Week 24 z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Stature (height), adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as Stature-for-age z-score (Stature z-score).
Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Day 1 up to Day 25 Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Weight at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Sweat Chloride at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 BMI was defined as weight in kilograms (kg) divided by height in square meter (m\^2).
Part B: Number of Pulmonary Exacerbations Through Week 24 Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as new or changed treatment with oral, inhaled, or intravenous antibiotics and fulfillment of pre-specified protocol defined criteria.
Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride From Week 24 at Week 26 Week 24, Week 26 Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Lung Clearance Index (LCI) 5.0 at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 LCI is a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity that is derived from a multiple breath washout test using Nitrogen (N2). LCI 5.0 represents the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/20th of its starting value.
Part B: Pre-dose Concentration (Ctrough) of LUM and IVA and Its Metabolites Week 24 Part B: Number of Participants With at Least One Pulmonary Exacerbation Pulmonary Exacerbation Through Week 24 Through Week 24 Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as new or changed treatment with oral, inhaled, or intravenous antibiotics and fulfillment of pre-specified protocol defined criteria. Time to event data was not collected and instead, number of participants with first event were collected and are reported. Time-to-first pulmonary exacerbation was planned to be estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates. However, due to less than 50% of events, time-to-first event data was not estimated. Instead, number of participants with at least one pulmonary exacerbation event were collected and are reported.
Part B: Number of Participants With Microbiology Culture Status (Positive or Negative) at Week 24 Baseline and Week 24 Following microbial tests were performed: Burkholderia, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA), Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Mucoid (P. Aeruginosa Mucoid), P. Aeruginosa Non-Mucoid, P. Aeruginosa Small Colony Variant and Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia.
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Lung Clearance Index (LCI) 2.5 at Week 24 Baseline, Week 24 Lung clearance index (LCI) is a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity that is derived from a multiple breath washout test using Nitrogen (N2). LCI 2.5 represents the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/40th of its starting value.
Part B: Acceptability/Palatability of LUM/IVA Granules Measured Using Hedonic Scale Day 1 The acceptability and palatability of LUM/IVA granules was assessed by a visual analog scale that incorporates a 5 point facial hedonic scale (Liked it Very Much, Liked it a Little, Not sure, Disliked it a Little, Disliked it Very Much). The assessment was conducted in 2 steps: assessment of approved food/liquid (Evaluation 1), and assessment of approved food/liquid with LUM/IVA granules (Evaluation 2).
