What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Absolute Change From Cycle Baseline In Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume In 1 Second (FEV1) After 2 Weeks of Treatment
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration. Hankinson and Wang standards were used to calculate percent predicted FEV1 (for age, gender, and height). The Hankinson standard was used for male participants 18 years and older and female participants 16 years and older. The Wang standard was used for male participants aged 12 to 17 years and for female participants aged 12 to 15 years. Data was to be reported for each cycle (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) and as per drug treatment, for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Cycle 1 baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (for Cycle 1 reporting arms); Cycle 2 baseline, Cycle 2 Day 15 (for Cycle 2 reporting arms)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Absolute Change From Cycle Baseline In Lung Clearance Index (LCI) After 2 Weeks of Treatment
LCI is a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity that is derived from a multiple-breath washout test. The LCI was calculated as the number of lung volume turnovers (cumulative expired volume divided by the functional residual capacity [FRC]) required to reduce end-tidal concentration of an inert gas to 1/40th of the starting value. Data was to be reported for each cycle (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) and as per drug treatment. Data was to be reported for each cycle (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) and as per drug treatment, for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Cycle 1 baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (for Cycle 1 reporting arms); Cycle 2 baseline, Cycle 2 Day 15 (for Cycle 2 reporting arms)
Open-label Period: Absolute Change From Open-label Baseline In Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume In 1 Second (FEV1) at Day 57
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration. Hankinson and Wang standards were used to calculate percent predicted FEV1 (for age, gender, and height). The Hankinson standard was used for male participants 18 years and older and female participants 16 years and older. The Wang standard was used for male participants aged 12 to 17 years and for female participants aged 12 to 15 years. Data was to be reported for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Open-label Baseline, Open-label Day 57
Open-label Period: Absolute Change From Open-label Baseline In Lung Clearance Index (LCI) at Day 57
LCI is a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity that is derived from a multiple-breath washout test. The LCI was calculated as the number of lung volume turnovers (cumulative expired volume divided by the functional residual capacity [FRC]) required to reduce end-tidal concentration of an inert gas to 1/40th of the starting value. Data was to be reported for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Open-label Baseline, Open-label Day 57
Open-label Period: Absolute Change From Study Baseline In Sweat Chloride at Day 57
Sweat samples were collected using an approved Macroduct (Wescor, Logan, Utah) collection device. A volume of greater than or equal to (>=) 15 microliter was required for determination of sweat chloride. Data was to be reported for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Study Baseline, Open-label Day 57
Open-label Period: Absolute Change From Open-label Baseline In Weight at Day 57
Data was to be reported for overall participants and as per genotype (residual function mutation and mRNA splice site mutation).
Measured: Open-label Baseline, Open-label Day 57
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Adverse events (AEs) that started (or increased in severity) from first dose of study drug through completion of Follow-up were considered TEAEs, with exception that if an AE started during a Washout Period and was beyond 14 days from last dose date of preceding cycle, AE was considered as a "Washout Period" AE, and hence not TEAE. A TEAE was attributed to treatment in which it started or to the treatment in second cycling period of previous Crossover Period if it started during a Washout Period. SAE: medical event or condition, which falls into any of following categories, regardless of its relationship to study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. Data was to be reported by drug treatment for double-blind crossover period (Cycle 1 up to Washout Period 2) and open-label period.
Measured: From first dose of study drug through completion of follow-up visit (up to 26 weeks)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Ivacaftor in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Absolute Change From Cycle Baseline In Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume In 1 Second (FEV1) After 2 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: Cycle 1 baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (for Cycle 1 reporting arms); Cycle 2 baseline, Cycle 2 Day 15 (for Cycle 2 reporting arms)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01685801, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2015.
