Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group, multicenter study in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cystic Fibrosis Drug: VX-661 Plus Ivacaftor Combination Drug: Ivacaftor Drug: VX-661 Plus Ivacaftor Combination Placebo Drug: Ivacaftor placebo Phase 3

Expanded Access : Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated has indicated that access to an investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial.  

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in people with CF who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VX-661 in combination with Ivacaftor (IVA, VX-770). The active treatment regimen comprised of a morning dose of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of 100 milligram (mg) VX-661/150 mg IVA once daily (qd) and an evening dose of IVA 150 mg to be taken approximately 12 hours after the morning dose. The placebo regimen was visually matched tablets to be taken with the same schedule as the active treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) Through Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Through Week 24 ]
    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Relative Change From Baseline (Day 1) in ppFEV1 Through Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Through Week 24 ]
    FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

  2. Number of Pulmonary Exacerbations Per Year [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Week 24 ]
    Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as a new event or change in antibiotic therapy for greater than or equal to 4 sinopulmonary signs/symptoms. Pulmonary exacerbation events per year (48 weeks) were reported.

  3. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Week 24 ]
    BMI was defined as weight in kilograms (kg) divided by height in square meter (m^2).

  4. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score Through Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Through Week 24 ]
    The CFQ-R is a validated participant-reported outcome measuring health-related quality of life for participants with cystic fibrosis. Respiratory domain assessed respiratory symptoms, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 28 ]
    AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant during the study; the event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. This includes any newly occurring event or previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency after the informed consent form is signed. AE includes serious as well as non-serious AEs. SAE (subset of AE): medical event or condition, which falls into any of the following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, inpatient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. Any AE that increased in severity or newly developed at or after initial dosing of study drug to Week 28 was considered treatment-emergent.

  6. Number of Participants With at Least One Pulmonary Exacerbation Pulmonary Exacerbation Through Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Week 24 ]
    Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as a new event or change in antibiotic therapy for greater than or equal to 4 sinopulmonary signs/symptoms. Time to event data was not collected and instead, Number of Subjects with first event were collected and are reported. Time-to-first pulmonary exacerbation was planned to be estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates. However, due to less than 50% of events, time-to-first event data was not estimated. Instead, number of participants with at least one pulmonary exacerbation event were collected and are reported.

  7. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Sweat Chloride Through Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Through Week 24 ]
    Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.

  8. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) in BMI Z-score at Week 24 in Participants Less Than (<) 20 Years Old at the Time of Screening) [ Time Frame: Day 1, Week 24 ]
    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 (BMI z-score).

  9. Absolute Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Body Weight at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Week 24 ]
  10. Trough Plasma Concentrations (Ctrough) of VX-661, VX-661 Metabolites (M1 VX-661 and M2-VX-661), Ivacaftor (IVA) and IVA Metabolite (M1-IVA) [ Time Frame: Pre-morning dose on Week 16 ]
    This outcome was not planned to be assessed in Placebo arm.
