Background summary
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive chronic disease with serious
morbidities and frequent premature mortality. CF
affects more than 70,000 individuals worldwide1 (approximately 31,000 in the
US2 and 48,000 in the EU). Based on its
prevalence, CF qualifies as an orphan disease. CF is caused by decreased
quantity and/or function of the CFTR protein due to
mutations in the CFTR gene. CFTR is an ion channel that regulates the flow of
chloride and other ions across epithelia in various
tissues, including the lungs, pancreas and other gastrointestinal organs, and
sweat glands. Decreased CFTR quantity or function
results in the failure to regulate chloride transport in these tissues leading
to the multisystem pathology associated with CF. In the
lungs, obstruction of airways with thick mucus, establishment of a chronic
bacterial infection in the airways, and damaging
inflammatory responses are all thought to play a role in causing irreversible
structural changes in the lungs, leading to respiratory
failure. Progressive loss of lung function is the leading cause of mortality.
The most common disease causing CFTR mutation is
F508del. Approximately 85% have at least 1 F508del allele. Based on the
understanding of the molecular defects caused by CFTR
mutations, 2 complementary approaches have been developed to address the
decreased quantity and/or function of CFTR in
order to enhance chloride transport in patients with CF. Correctors facilitate
the cellular processing and trafficking to increase the
quantity of CFTR at the cell surface. Potentiators increase the channel open
probability (channel gating activity) of the CFTR
protein delivered to the cell surface to enhance ion transport. With differing
mechanisms of action, a combination of correctors and
potentiators increases F508del CFTR-mediated chloride transport more than
either type of modulator alone.
Study objective
To evaluate the effect of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) on
glucose tolerance in CF subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or CF
related diabetes (CFRD)
Study design
This is A Phase 3b Open-label Study to Assess the Effect of
Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor on Glucose Tolerance in Cystic Fibrosis
Subjects with Abnormal Glucose Metabolism:
The study consists of 3 periods:
- Screening Period
- Treatment Period
- Follow-up Period
Screening Period: The screening period can last up to 5 weeks
Treatment Period: The treatment period can last up to 48 weeks.
Follow-up Period: The follow-up period can last up to 4 weeks. The visit will
take place around 28 (±7) days after the last dose of
study drug.
Intervention
Active substance: ELX (VX-445)/TEZ (VX-661)/IVA (VX-770)
Activity: CFTR correctors (ELX and TEZ) and potentiator (IVA)
Strength and route of administration: ELX 100-mg/TEZ 50-mg/IVA 75-mg fixed dose
combination (FDC) tablets, oral
Active substance: IVA (VX 770)
Activity: CFTR potentiator
Strength and route of administration: 150-mg tablets, oral
Study burden and risks
To date, ELX/TEZ/IVA has been administered to more than 600 clinical trial
participants with CF age 6 years and greater. In addition, ELX has been
administered alone or in combination with TEZ/IVA to approximately 200 healthy
volunteers.
The side effects associated with ELX/TEZ/IVA are listed or described in the
text below. For the listed side effects, the percentages of people with cystic
fibrosis in a large study who experienced these side effects are shown.
• Headache (17%)
• Diarrhea (13%)
• Upper respiratory tract infection (common cold) (12%)
• Increased liver enzymes in blood (may be a sign of a liver problem) (11%)
• Rash (11%)
• Stomach ache (10%)
• Nasal congestion (9%)
• Increased blood enzyme called creatine phosphokinase (may be a sign of a
muscle problem) (9%)
• Runny nose (8%)
Safety Monitoring in This Study:
In some study participants treated with ELX/TEZ/IVA triple combination therapy,
high liver enzymes in the blood have been observed. Elevated liver enzymes may
be a sign of liver injury. These abnormal liver enzymes may get better after
Study Drug is stopped.
Other than blood test changes, symptoms of liver injury are not specific and
may include loss of appetite, upset stomach, tiredness, pain in the right upper
belly, vomiting, dark urine, and/or yellowing of the eyes or skin.
In severe cases, significant liver injury can potentially become permanent and
even be life-threatening. In patients with advanced liver disease (for example,
cirrhosis and/or portal hypertension), there is a greater risk for worsening of
liver function. The worsening of liver function can lead to a need for liver
transplant.
In some children or adolescents treated with IVA-containing regimens,
abnormality of the eye lens (cataract) has been noted. A link between these
medicines and cataracts is uncertain but cannot be excluded.
In some study participants treated with ELX/TEZ/IVA triple combination therapy,
increases in blood pressure have been observed.
In some study participants treated with ELX/TEZ/IVA triple combination therapy,
rash has been observed. In study participants treated with ELX/TEZ/IVA, rash
was more commonly seen in women, especially those taking hormones to prevent
pregnancy. In some cases, the rashes were severe, required treatment, or led to
stopping of ELX/TEZ/IVA. The rashes got better after Study Drug was stopped.
The Study Drug may contain a very small amount of lactose, a sugar found in
dairy products. The amount of lactose in a single pill is roughly the same as
the amount in one teaspoon of milk. This amount of lactose is unlikely to cause
symptoms in people who have lactose intolerance.

form.
