Frequently asked questions about VX-828

What is VX-828?

VX-828 is an investigational small molecule developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals for cystic fibrosis, a respiratory disease. It is a Phase 1 clinical-stage candidate and has not been approved. Two Phase 1 trials of VX-828 have been completed, enrolling a total of 233 participants.

What does VX-828 target?

VX-828 targets CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. CFTR dysfunction underlies cystic fibrosis, and VX-828 is designed as a small molecule directed at this protein target. The trials of VX-828 were biomarker selected, meaning participants were enrolled based on a specified biomarker.

Who makes VX-828?

VX-828 is developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, which trades under the ticker VRTX. Vertex is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating VX-828 in cystic fibrosis.

What phase is VX-828 in?

VX-828 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Both Phase 1 trials of VX-828 have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for the program.

What clinical trials is VX-828 in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials have evaluated VX-828. NCT06154447 studied VX-828 in healthy participants and in participants with cystic fibrosis, enrolling 165 people. NCT06861413 evaluated the relative bioavailability of a VX-828 tablet formulation, enrolling 68 people. Both were conducted in the United States.

How were the VX-828 trials designed?

Both VX-828 Phase 1 trials were randomized, double blind, and active controlled, and both enrolled adults aged 18 years and older, including healthy volunteers. NCT06154447 enrolled 165 participants with and without cystic fibrosis, while NCT06861413 enrolled 68 participants to assess the relative bioavailability of a VX-828 tablet formulation.
