Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Treatment of CF Patients With W1282X Premature Termination Codon Mutations

April 11, 2025 updated by: Steven M Rowe, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Based on previous clinical findings, the investigator hypothesize that ivacaftor will have synergistic effects with drugs that facilitate truncated but partially active W1282X CFTR protein processing (tezacaftor) in patients with W1282X CFTR. In the current study, the investigators propose to directly test the efficacy of tezacaftor/ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) and Trikafta for W1282X CFTR therapy in the clinic in comparison to ivacaftor alone.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Approximately 11% of CF patients have premature termination codons (PTC), causing truncated CFTR with little to no function. No approved therapies exist for patients with PTC mutations including W1282X, a unique mutation exhibiting partial CFTR activity even in its truncated form. CFTR modulators alone enhanced CFTR function in patient cells from W1282X/G542X CFTR. Several published studies have shown CFTR modulators alone and/or in combination with readthrough (RT) agents benefit W1282X CFTR. Clinical studies further support an aspect of this notion, where two W1282X patients showed beneficial effect to Ivacaftor treatment.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of signed and dated informed consent/assent document(s) indicating that the subject (and/or his parent/legal guardian) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial

    • Age ≥ 18 yrs
    • Body weight ≥ 16 kg
    • Diagnosis of CF and documentation of the presence of a nonsense mutation of the CFTR gene, as determined by historical genotyping
    • Ability to perform a valid, reproducible spirometry with demonstration of FEV1 ≥ 30% and ≤ 90% of predicted for age, gender, and height
    • In subjects who are sexually active, willingness to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ a barrier or medical method of contraception during the study drug administration
    • Willingness and ability to comply with all study procedures and assessments

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any change (initiation, change in type of drug, dose modification, schedule modification, interruption, discontinuation, or re-initiation) in a chronic treatment/prophylaxis regimen for CF or for CF-related conditions within 2 weeks prior to screening
  • Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial
  • Evidence of pulmonary exacerbation or acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection (including viral illnesses) within 2 weeks prior to screening
  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation; positive hepatitis B surface antigen test; hepatitis C antibody test; or human immunodecifiency
  • Major complication of lung disease (including massive hemoptysis, pneumothorax, or pleural effusion) within 4 weeks prior to screening
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Current smoker or a smoking history of ≥ 10 pack-years (number of cigarette packs/day x number of years smoked)
  • Prior or ongoing medical condition (eg, renal failure, alcoholism, drug abuse, psychiatric condition), medical history, physical findings, ECG findings, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the subject, makes it unlikely that the course of treatment or follow-up would be completed, or could impair the assessment of study results
