Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in Subjects 6 Through 11 Years of Age With Cystic Fibrosis and F/MF Genotypes (NCT NCT04353817)

NCT ID: NCT04353817

Last Updated: 2022-07-26

Results Overview

The LCI2.5 index is the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/40th of its starting values and is calculated by dividing the sum of exhaled tidal breaths (cumulative exhaled volume (CEV)) by simultaneously measured functional residual capacity (FRC). An LCI of 7.5 and below is normal; values greater than 7.5 are abnormal. LCI is able to detect abnormalities in lung function earlier than more traditional modalities such as spirometry.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline Through Week 24

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized participants who carry the intended CFTR allele mutation and receive at least 1 dose of study drug.

The LCI2.5 index is the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/40th of its starting values and is calculated by dividing the sum of exhaled tidal breaths (cumulative exhaled volume (CEV)) by simultaneously measured functional residual capacity (FRC). An LCI of 7.5 and below is normal; values greater than 7.5 are abnormal. LCI is able to detect abnormalities in lung function earlier than more traditional modalities such as spirometry.
