Frequently asked questions about VX-445

What is VX-445 used for?

VX-445 is an investigational small molecule developed for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is being studied in people with specific CFTR mutations, including those homozygous for F508del and those heterozygous for F508del with a minimal function mutation. It is not yet approved for any indication.

Who is developing VX-445?

VX-445 is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker VRTX. Vertex is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating VX-445 in cystic fibrosis.

What phase is VX-445 in?

VX-445 is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, and the drug remains investigational. It has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency for any indication.

What clinical trials is VX-445 in?

VX-445 has been evaluated in two completed Phase 3 trials: NCT03525548, which studied VX-445 combination therapy in CF subjects homozygous for F508del (F/F) with 113 participants, and NCT03525444, which studied VX-445 combination therapy in subjects heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function mutation (F/MF) with 405 participants.
