About

This will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Cavosonstat (N91115) in adult patients with CF who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and being treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor (Orkambi™).

Full description

Primary Objective:

• Assess the efficacy of N91115 at 12 weeks when added to preexisting treatment with lumacaftor/ivacaftor in adult patients with CF who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation

Secondary Objectives:

• Assess the effect of N91115 added to lumacaftor/ivacaftor on safety
• Assess the effect of lumacaftor/ivacaftor added to N91115 on the pharmacokinetics of N91115, lumacaftor, and ivacaftor

Enrollment: 138 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
