A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Use of Smart Adherence Technology to Measure Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor Adherence in CF Subjects Homozygous for the F508del CFTR Mutation

August 31, 2018 updated by: Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated

A Phase 4, Open-label Treatment, Randomized, Multicenter, 2-arm, Parallel-group, Pilot Study of Adherence to Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor in CF Subjects Homozygous for the F508del CFTR Mutation

The study will evaluate the impact of smart adherence technology for monitoring on lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) adherence rates among subjects 16 years of age and older with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) mutation.
