Study of Cavosonstat (N91115) in CF Patients Who Are Heterozygous for F508del-CFTR and a Gating Mutation and Being Treated With Ivacaftor

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study of N91115 for Efficacy and Safety in Patients With CF Heterozygous for F508del-CFTR + Gating Mutation Being Treated With Ivacaftor

Cavosonstat (N91115) is being studied as a potential novel therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF), and this study assesses a target population of patients who are heterozygous for F508del-CFTR and a gating mutation that is approved for treatment with ivacaftor (G551D, G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R).

Assess the effect of Cavosonstat (N91115) on lung function when added to preexisting treatment with ivacaftor in adult patients with CF who are heterozygous for F508del-CFTR and a gating mutation that is approved for treatment with ivacaftor (G551D, G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Confirmed diagnosis of CF, heterozygous for F508del-CFTR and a gating mutation that is approved for treatment with ivacaftor (G551D, G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R)
• Have been treated with chronic ivacaftor twice daily for at least 6 months prior to Screening (date of consent) and are currently being treated with commercially available Ivacaftor
• Negative serum pregnancy test
• Weight ≥ 40 kg at screening
• Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry ≥ 90% breathing ambient air, at screening

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any acute infection, including acute upper or lower respiratory infections and pulmonary exacerbations that require treatment that has completed within 2 weeks of Study Day 1 or hospitalization discharge within 2 weeks of Study Day 1
• Recent infection (per investigator discretion) with organisms associated with more rapid decline in pulmonary status, for example: Burkholderia cenocepacia, Burkholderia dolosa, and Mycobacterium abscessus
• Any change in the regimen for chronic therapies for CF lung disease (e.g., Pulmozyme®, hypertonic saline, Azithromycin, TOBI®, Cayston®) within 4 weeks of Study Day 1
• Blood hemoglobin < 10 g/dL at screening
• Serum albumin < 2.5 g/dL at screening
• Abnormal liver or renal function
• History of ventricular tachycardia or other clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias
• History, including the screening assessment, of prolonged QT and/or QTcF (Fridericia's correction) interval (> 450 msec for men; > 470 msec for women)
• History of solid organ or hematological transplantation
• History of alcohol abuse or drug abuse (including cannabis, cocaine, and opioids) in the year prior to screening
• Use of continuous (24 hr/day) or nocturnal supplemental oxygen
