An Open-Label Extension (OLE) study of Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) in patients (PTS) ≥ 12 years with cystic fibrosis (CF) Homozygous for F508DEL-CFTR (F/F) or Heterozygous for F508DEL-CFTR and a residual function mutation (F/RF)

Objectives: TEZ/IVA was efficacious and generally safe and well tolerated in pts ≥ 12 y with F/F or F/RF mutations in pivotal Phase 3 studies. EXTEND, a 96-wk OLE study, assessed the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TEZ/IVA in pts ≥ 12 y with F/F or F/RF genotypes who completed TEZ/IVA parent studies.
Methods: Pts received TEZ 100 mg qd/IVA 150 mg q12h. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Pts from studies 107 (F/minimal function) and 109 (F/gating or F/R117H) were discontinued (d/c) from EXTEND by the sponsor (N = 253 pts) because these studies did not meet their primary endpoints; these pts contributed to the safety set prior to d/c. Secondary endpoints were change from baseline in ppFEV1, number of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx), change from baseline in BMI (z score in pts < 20 y), CFQ-R respiratory domain score, weight (z score in pts < 20 y), height z score in pts < 20 y, time to first PEx, and PK. Safety set: all pts who received ≥ 1 dose of TEZ/IVA in EXTEND (N = 1042). Efficacy sets: pts who received ≥ 1 dose of TEZ/IVA and had F/F (N = 459) or F/RF (N = 226) mutations.
Results: Of 1042 pts in the safety set, 253 pts from studies 107 and 109 were d/c by sponsor, 24 of the remaining pts d/c due to adverse events (AEs), 83 of the remaining pts d/c for other reasons, and 682 completed treatment in EXTEND. There were 995 pts (95.5%) who had ≥ 1 treatment-emergent AE (TEAE); most TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity and consistent with manifestations of CF or the known safety profile of TEZ/IVA. Serious TEAEs occurred in 351 pts (33.7%; infective PEx [23.3%], all others in < 3% of pts). There were 22 pts (2.1%) who had TEAEs leading to TEZ/IVA d/c (those in > 2 pts included transaminase [ALT and/or AST] increased [5 pts, 0.5%] and creatine phosphokinase increased [4 pts, 0.4%]). Placebo pts who began TEZ/IVA in EXTEND had improvements in efficacy endpoints consistent with those seen in the parent studies, and improvements seen in TEZ/IVA pts in parent studies were generally maintained in EXTEND.
Conclusions: TEZ/IVA was generally safe and well tolerated for up to 96 wks; no new safety concerns were identified. Improvements across efficacy endpoints were consistent with Phase 3 outcomes and maintained in F/F and F/RF pts.

CFQ-R: Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised. a Mean nutritional and growth parameters (BMI; weight; and BMI, weight, and height z scores) were maintained over 96 wks. b PK exposures (AUC) of tezacaftor, ivacaftor, and their major metabolites were within the target ranges of those observed in the pivotal studies. c The efficacy sets included pts who rolled over from EVOLVE (F/F, N = 459) or EXPAND (F/RF, N = 226). d Relative change from baseline in ppFEV1 showed similar trends in F/F and F/RF pts. e Pulmonary exacerbation analysis period includes the time that a pt is on active treatment, and begins either in EVOLVE, EXPAND Period 2, or EXTEND, depending on parent study treatment assignment; PEx estimated event rate per year in pts receiving placebo in EVOLVE was 0.99 and in EXPAND was 0.63. |
