Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial is examining the action and effects of several new drugs in the treatment of cystic fibrosis in children. In addition, several genetic factors are examined. The hope is that the ability to determine prior to treatment those individuals who will or will not respond to existing therapies will avoid needless risk of side effects and the high cost of a potentially ineffective treatment regimen. Understanding the way these drugs work in the body and the best way to study them is critical to expanding the use of these drugs to all patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Understanding variation in genetic response to pharmacological treatments and personalized CFTR modulator response is crucial to the optimization of the use of these novel compounds; expansion to all patients who might benefit from them; and development of predictive biomarkers. In addition, the ability to determine prior to treatment those individuals who will or will not respond to existing therapies will avoid needless risk of side effects and the high cost of a potentially ineffective treatment regimen. Understanding the way these drugs work in the body and the best way to study them and the downstream effects is critical to expanding the use of these drugs to all patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This is a pilot and feasibility study to assess the association of drug concentration with side effects, and to assess the feasibility of the use of therapeutic drug monitoring to adjust dosing in individuals with side effects.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single Arm

Participants may be enrolled in an observational one-visit study for association of concentration with side effects. Participants may proceed to a single arm study if they have side effects to assess the feasibility of adjusting dose to maintain concentrations within an estimated effective range. Once within the range, dosing is no longer adjusted. Side effects will be evaluated as described in the protocol.

Group Type OTHER

Elexacaftor / Ivacaftor / Tezacaftor

Intervention Type DRUG

This study will examine different dosing strategies and outcomes for triple combination CFTR modulator therapy using the drug(s) elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and/or ivacaftor in patients with cystic fibrosis.

therapeutic drug monitoring

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants who consent to the therapeutic drug monitoring study will have their dose adjusted to remain within estimated effective concentrations.
