Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Absolute Change From Baseline in Lung Clearance Index 2.5 (LCI2.5) Through Week 24
Baseline, Through Week 24

Lung clearance index (LCI) is a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity that is derived from a multiple breath washout test using Nitrogen (N2). LCI2.5 represents the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/40th of its starting value.

Safety and Tolerability Based on Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 14 days after last dose (last dose = Day 28)

AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant during the study; the event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. This includes any newly occurring event or previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency after the informed consent form is signed. AE includes serious as well as Non-serious AEs. Serious adverse event (SAE) (subset of AE): medical event or condition, which falls into any of the following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. Number of participants with AEs and SAEs are reported. An AE that started at or after initial dosing of study drug, or increased in severity after initial dosing of study drug visit is considered treatment-emergent.

Frequently asked questions about VX-809

What is VX-809 used for?

VX-809 is an investigational small molecule being developed for cystic fibrosis. It is a corrector of the F508del-CFTR protein mutation, which is the most common cause of the disease. The drug is designed to improve the function of the defective CFTR protein in patients with this specific genetic mutation.

Who makes VX-809?

VX-809 is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol VRTX. The company has conducted multiple clinical trials of VX-809, both alone and in combination with other drugs, for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

What phase is VX-809 in?

VX-809 has completed Phase 3 clinical trials for cystic fibrosis. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. It has been studied in combination with ivacaftor (VX-770) in patients homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation, with trials completed in multiple countries.

What clinical trials is VX-809 in?

VX-809 has been studied in four completed clinical trials. NCT00865904 was a Phase 2 study in cystic fibrosis patients with the F508del-CFTR mutation. NCT00966602 and NCT01216046 were Phase 1 drug-drug interaction studies with VX-770. NCT02514473 was a Phase 3 study of lumacaftor (VX-809) combined with ivacaftor in homozygous F508del patients.

Is VX-809 the same as lumacaftor?

Yes, VX-809 is the same drug as lumacaftor. The compound was originally designated VX-809 during early development and later received the generic name lumacaftor. It is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals for cystic fibrosis, typically in combination with ivacaftor.
