Mutation Eligible for Study1 (mutation in bold was enrolled)
G551D
STUDY DESIGN1
- Trial 2 was a 48-week, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (N=52) in patients with CF age 6 to 11 years (mean age: 9 years) and a G551D mutation
- Patients had to have FEV1 40%-105% predicted at screening [mean FEV1 84% predicted at baseline (range: 44%-134%)]
- Patients received KALYDECO 150 mg or placebo every 12 hours with fat-containing food, in addition to their prescribed CF therapies. Use of hypertonic saline was not permitted
Primary endpoint1: Improvement in lung function as determined by the mean absolute change from baseline in ppFEV1 through Week 24
Other efficacy endpoints2: Absolute change in ppFEV1 through Week 48, improvement from baseline in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain score through Weeks 24 and 48, absolute change from baseline in body weight at Weeks 24 and 48, and absolute change from baseline in sweat chloride concentration through Weeks 24 and 48
SUMMARY OF RESULTS1,2
Improvements in ppFEV1 vs placebo were seen at the first post-baseline visit and persisted through 48 weeks1,2
Treatment difference through:
24 weeks (primary endpoint)1,2,a
+12.5 points
(95% CI: 6.6, 18.3; P<0.0001)
48 weeks (secondary endpoint)1,2,a
+10.0 points
(95% CI: 4.5, 15.5; P<0.001)
aTreatment difference = effect of KALYDECO – effect of placebo.1
Primary endpoint was assessed through 24 weeks for Trial 2 and was based on a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM).1,2

- There was no direct correlation between decrease in sweat chloride levels and improvement in lung function (FEV1)1
aTreatment difference = effect of KALYDECO – effect of placebo.1
The risk of pulmonary exacerbations was not analyzed in Trial 2 due to low incidence of events.1
TRIAL 4 (KONNECTION): Patients with CF age 6 years and older. KALYDECO® (ivacaftor): Significant improvements demonstrated for the overall population with eligible mutations1,2
ON THIS PAGE: Study Design | Summary of Results
Mutations Eligible for Study1 (mutations in bold were enrolled)
G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, G970R*, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R
*KALYDECO is not indicated for use in patients with a G970R mutation
*Based on the clinical and pharmacodynamic (sweat chloride) responses to ivacaftor, efficacy in patients with the G970R mutation could not be established.
STUDY DESIGN1
- Trial 4 was a Phase 3, two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover-design trial (two 8-week treatment periods separated by a 4- to 8-week washout period; N=39) in patients with CF age 6 years and older (mean age: 23 years)
- Patients had either a G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, G970R, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R mutation
- Patients had either a G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, G970R, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R mutation
- Patients had to have FEV1 ≥40% predicted at screening [mean FEV1 78% predicted at baseline (range: 43%-119%)]
- Patients received KALYDECO 150 mg or placebo every 12 hours with fat-containing food, in addition to their prescribed CF therapies
Primary endpoint1: Improvement in lung function as determined by the mean absolute change from baseline in ppFEV1 through 8 weeks
Other endpoints1: Absolute change from baseline in: BMI at 8 weeks, improvement in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain score through 8 weeks, and sweat chloride concentration through 8 weeks
SUMMARY OF RESULTS2
Significant improvements in ppFEV1 were maintained through 8 weeks of treatment2
There was a high degree of variability of efficacy responses among the 9 mutations studied1
Adapted with permission from De Boeck K et al. J Cyst Fibros. 2014;13:674-680.
- For individual mutations, mean increases in ppFEV1 ranged from +3% points to +20% points at Week 81
