Vertex to test CF triple combo therapy in Phase III trials
Vertex Pharmaceuticals will begin testing a combination of VX-445, tezacaftor and ivacaftor as a potential treatment for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) in two Phase III studies.
The first trial will evaluate the combination in around 360 people with CF who have one copy of the F508del mutation and one minimal function mutation, and is designed to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) in the US.
The second will include around 100 CF patients who have two copies of the F508del mutation, the most common genetic form of the disease, and is also designed to support submission of an application for this subset in the US, Vertex said.
