Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of VX-659 in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for the F508del and a minimal function mutation (F/MF subjects).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council on Harmonization (ICH) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: In the above disposition summary, data are presented for 382 subjects who were randomized and dosed in the TC treatment period. Three subjects were enrolled into the study and randomized but were not dosed in the TC treatment period. Therefore, the total number of enrolled subjects is 385 but the number of subjects reported in subject disposition and baseline is 382.

    Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as the treatment with new or changed antibiotic therapy (intravenous, inhaled, or oral) for greater than or equal to 4 sinopulmonary signs/symptoms. FAS. Here 99999 represents that Median and 95% confidence interval could not be estimated because less than 50% of subjects had events.

    		 Absolute Change in BMI Z-score for Subjects <=20 Years of Age at Baseline
    End point description
    BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in m^2. z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. BMI, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as BMI-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher BMI. FAS. Here "Overall Number of Subjects Analyzed" signifies those subjects who were <=20 years of age at Baseline.
