Restore CFTR Function Enrolling

Phase 3 study of ivacaftor in babies who have a CFTR gating mutation (Vertex VX15-770-124)

This two-part, open-label study is taking place at multiple care centers across the U.S. It will look at the safety and effectiveness of ivacaftor, as well as how the body processes the drug, in babies who have a CFTR gating mutation.

 

This is a two-part study. Both parts will look at the safety of ivacaftor (Kalydeco) in babies with CF. Part A will last for 10 weeks and look at how the body processes the drug. Part B will last 6 months and will look at the effectiveness of the drug. This study is open-label, meaning that all study participants will receive the study drug. Researchers will study how the body processes ivacaftor (Kalydeco) by measuring the amount of the drug in the bloodstream. They will study the drug’s safety by tracking adverse events and other measures. They will also study the drug's effectiveness by measuring sweat chloride concentration.

This study is currently enrolling babies less than 12 months old who have a CFTR gating mutation. It may require blood draws, sweat tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), eye exams and/or other measurements.

Clinical Studies 101

  • Questions to Ask When Considering a Specific Trial

    Clinical trials that test potential drugs and therapies in people with cystic fibrosis are a major part of CF research. They take place at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care centers all over the United States and enroll people with CF of all ages.

  • Patient Safety Is a Priority

    Nothing is more important than patient safety in developing new treatments for cystic fibrosis. The U.S. government requires that all clinical trials are supervised for safety, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation adds additional measures to protect study volunteers.

  • How Do Clinical Trials Work

    Each clinical trial has a study sponsor and a protocol. Potential drugs must move through four well-defined phases of testing in patients.
