Frequently asked questions about Vanzacaftor

What is Vanzacaftor used for?

Vanzacaftor is an investigational small molecule being developed for cystic fibrosis, a respiratory disease. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and has not been approved for any indication. The only completed trial to date studied its cardiac safety in healthy volunteers rather than testing it as a cystic fibrosis treatment.

What does Vanzacaftor target?

Vanzacaftor targets CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein, and is classified as a CFTR positive modulator. By acting on CFTR, it aims to improve the function of the defective ion channel that causes cystic fibrosis. This mechanism is the basis for its development as a potential therapy for the disease.

Who is developing Vanzacaftor?

Vanzacaftor 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 the drug. The company is known for its work in cystic fibrosis therapeutics.

What phase is Vanzacaftor in?

Vanzacaftor is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not received FDA approval. The program has completed one Phase 1 trial, and no active trials are currently listed for the drug.

What clinical trials is Vanzacaftor in?

Vanzacaftor has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT05867147, titled an electrocardiogram study to evaluate the effect of vanzacaftor on the QT/QTc interval in healthy participants. The trial enrolled 56 healthy volunteers in the United States and was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.
