Frequently asked questions about VX-561

What is VX-561 used for?

VX-561 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in adults aged 18 years and older. It is a Phase 2 candidate developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It has not been approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does VX-561 target?

VX-561 targets CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. CFTR dysfunction underlies cystic fibrosis, and VX-561 is designed as a small molecule that acts on this protein target. The Phase 2 program enrolled biomarker-selected participants with cystic fibrosis.

Who makes VX-561?

VX-561 is developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker VRTX. Vertex is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating VX-561 in cystic fibrosis.

What phase is VX-561 in?

VX-561 is in Phase 2 development for cystic fibrosis. The completed Phase 2 study evaluated efficacy and safety in adults aged 18 years and older. VX-561 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is VX-561 in?

VX-561 has been studied in NCT03911713, a Phase 2 trial titled "A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of VX-561 in Subjects Aged 18 Years and Older With Cystic Fibrosis." The trial is completed, enrolled 77 participants, and was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled across the United States, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
