Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area under the curve (AUC) of the log10 Nasal Viral Load on Day 8
Day 8

Area under the curve (AUC) of the log10 nasal viral load is measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Assess the drug-drug interaction between VX-787 600 mg bid coadministered with oseltamivir 75 mg bid at steady-state in healthy participants
Day 5

Based on the individual plasma concentration-time data, using the actual sampling times the following PK parameters will be derived: Ctrough, Cmin, Cmax, tmax, AUC12h, Cavg, FI Ratio Cmax,test/refrence (ref), Ratio Cmin,test/ref and ratio AUC12h, test/ref

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of a VX-787 600 mg bid regimen during 10 days in healthy participants
Days 1-10

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study from signing of the ICF onwards until the last study-related activity. The study will include the following evaluations of safety and tolerability: Adverse Events, Clinical Laboratory Test, Electrocardiograms, Vital Signs, Physical Exams.

Assessment of Pharmacokinetics of VX-787
Days 1-10

Pharmacokinetic parameters will include assessment of Ctrough, Cmin, Cmax, tmax, AUC12h, Cavg, FI Ratio Cmax,test/ref, ratio Cmin,test/ref and ratio AUC12h,test/ref.

Frequently asked questions about VX-787

What is VX-787 used for?

VX-787 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of acute uncomplicated seasonal influenza A in adults. It has been studied in healthy volunteers as well. The drug is currently in clinical development and is not approved by the FDA.

Who makes VX-787?

VX-787 is being developed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The company has sponsored clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating influenza A and in healthy subjects.

What phase is VX-787 in?

VX-787 has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. The Phase 1 trial assessed drug-drug interactions with oseltamivir in healthy volunteers, while the Phase 2 trial studied the drug in adults with acute uncomplicated seasonal influenza A. It remains investigational.

What clinical trials is VX-787 in?

VX-787 has been studied in two completed trials: NCT02262715, a Phase 1 drug-drug interaction study with oseltamivir in healthy volunteers in Belgium, and NCT02342249, a Phase 2 study of acute uncomplicated seasonal influenza A in adults across multiple countries.

Is VX-787 the same as oseltamivir?

No, VX-787 is not the same as oseltamivir. VX-787 is an investigational drug being developed by Johnson & Johnson, while oseltamivir is an approved antiviral medication. The Phase 1 trial NCT02262715 specifically studied the drug-drug interaction between VX-787 and oseltamivir.
