3) Supplemental Methodology
For Cohort 2, patients who were heterozygous for F508del-CFTR had to have a second CFTR
allele mutation that was either predicted to result in the lack of CFTR protein production or is
known not to respond to ivacaftor based on in-vitro testing1. The list of eligible mutations is
included in Appendix B of the protocol and selection of mutations predicted to result in lack of
3 VX09-­‐809-­‐102 clinical trial Web Appendix CFTR protein production was based on data available at www.CFTR2.org under “mutation
characteristics” for each specific mutation.
Safety was evaluated by assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, standard digital
electrocardiograms (ECG), vital signs, and physical examinations. Twenty-four or 48 hour
ambulatory ECG monitoring was included in Cohort 1 only.
Sweat testing was performed by pilocarpine iontophoresis. Samples were collected using an
approved Macroduct® (Wescor, Logan UT) collection device as described previously.2 Sweat
samples were sent to a central laboratory for testing and interpretation of results. The sweat test
was to be conducted before patients received the morning dose of study drug, except for the first
study day when the test could be performed on the previous day. Two sweat samples, one from
each arm, were to be collected at each study visit.
Spirometry was performed according to American Thoracic Society guidelines.3 Assessments
were to be performed prior to the use of bronchodilators (at least 4 hours since last short-acting
β-agonist or anticholinergic, 12 hours since last long-acting treatment, and 24 hours since the last
once-daily treatment) and prior to study drug administration on the day of the visit. FEV1, forced
vital capacity (FVC), and forced midexpiratory flow rate (FEF25-75%) were determined. Values
were recorded as volumes (L) for FEV1 and FVC or rate (L/s) for FEF25-75% and as percent
predicted for age, gender, height and ethnicity.3,4
All sweat samples for sweat chloride analyses had to have a minimum volume of 15 µL to be
considered valid. For patients with valid sweat samples from both arms at a time point, the
4 VX09-­‐809-­‐102 clinical trial Web Appendix average of the results for the left and right arms were used for analysis. For patients with only 1
valid sample, the value of that sample alone was used. Sweat chloride values outside of the
physiologic range, defined as <10 mmol/L or >160 mmol/L, were not included in the analyses.
Study Blinding and Randomisation
Due to concerns that sweat chloride data might lead to unblinding of study personnel, the
sponsor study team members did not have access to sweat chloride results during the conduct of
the trial. Patients and their caregivers were also not to be informed of their study-related
spirometry results during the trial.
Safety interim analyses by the non-sponsor, independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)
occurred after approximately 50% and 100% of subjects completed 21 days of treatment in
Cohort 1, and approximately 33%, 50% and 100% of subjects completed 56 days of treatment in
Cohort 2.
4) Results
Study Participants
The genotypes of the 27 F508del-CFTR compound heterozygous patients randomized and dosed
in Cohort 2 are provided in Supplemental Table 5.
Study Drug Compliance
For Cohort 1, the mean rate of adherence to the study drugs was 100% in both active treatment
and placebo arms. For Cohort 2, mean rates of adherence to study drug ranged between 90% and
99%. For Cohort 3, mean rates of adherence during monotherapy and combination periods were
5 VX09-­‐809-­‐102 clinical trial Web Appendix 99% and 97%, respectively, for the 400 mg q12h lumacaftor treatment arm, and 100% and 93%,
respectively, for the placebo arm.
Sweat Chloride Concentration
Sensitivity analyses revealed that in Cohort 1, the observed reduction in sweat chloride
concentration in the placebo arm was driven by a single patient who had a -35·5 mmol/L change
from baseline value. At the follow-up visit after withdrawal of study drug, mean sweat chloride
levels increased in both the active treatment arms, but did not change in the placebo arm (Figure
3).
Clinical Endpoints
In Cohort 2, among the twenty F508del homozygotes receiving combination therapy with
lumacaftor 600mg and ivacaftor 250mg, five (25%) experienced at least a 10 percentage point
improvement in absolute FEV1 during combination therapy, compared to 0/21 in the placebo
arm (Figure 5C).
