Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ivacaftor in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who were aged 18 years or older and have a G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective CFTR potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.

Primary Outcome

Adverse event data were collected up to the follow-up visit (5 to 9 days after last dose of study drug). Serious adverse events that were ongoing at the follow-up visit were followed until the event resolved, returned to baseline, or was determined to be a stable or chronic condition.

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo
  • DRUG Ivacaftor 25 mg/75 mg
  • DRUG Ivacaftor 75 mg/150 mg
  • DRUG Ivacaftor 150 mg or 250 mg
