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.
  • Phase 3

Expanded Access

Expanded Access

A way for patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial to gain access to a medical product that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also called compassionate use. There are different expanded access types.
Approved

Approved

  • Available: Expanded access is currently available for this investigational treatment, and patients who are not participants in the clinical study may be able to gain access to the drug, biologic, or medical device being studied.
  • No longer available: Expanded access was available for this intervention previously but is not currently available and will not be available in the future.
  • Temporarily not available: Expanded access is not currently available for this intervention but is expected to be available in the future.
  • Approved for marketing: The intervention has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by the public.

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

8 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change in CF Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score
Time Frame: From Baseline 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.
From Baseline Through Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl)
Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 24
Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
From Baseline Through Week 24
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)
Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 24
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
From Baseline Through Week 24
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: From Day 1 in the Treatment Period up to 28 Days After Last Dose of Study Drug or to the Completion of Study Participation Date, Whichever Occurs First (up to Week 28)
From Day 1 in the Treatment Period up to 28 Days After Last Dose of Study Drug or to the Completion of Study Participation Date, Whichever Occurs First (up to Week 28)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
