- Results from a randomized, placebo-controlled study of TRIKAFTA® in people with cystic fibrosis with rare, non-F508del CFTR mutations showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the primary and all secondary endpoints -

- Interim results of largest real-world study of TRIKAFTA® showed sustained improvement in lung function at three years as well as lower rates of lung transplant and death in people with cystic fibrosis, compared to pre-TRIKAFTA® initiation -

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:VRTX) today announced that data on TRIKAFTA® (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor and ivacaftor), also known in the European Union and in the U.K. as KAFTRIO® (ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor) in combination with ivacaftor, were presented at this year's European Cystic Fibrosis Society's (ECFS) 47th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference held June 5-8, 2024, in Glasgow, Scotland.

Data from a randomized, double-blind, Phase 3 study (abstract WS06.04) demonstrated that people with CF who have rare, non-F508del mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene responsive to TRIKAFTA® in vitro demonstrated clinical benefit from receiving TRIKAFTA®. Compared to placebo, lung function improved by 9.2 percentage points as measured by ppFEV1, CFTR function improved (as measured by mean sweat chloride concentration reductions of 28.3 mmol/L), and pulmonary exacerbations were reduced by 72% per year. Safety and tolerability were generally consistent with the established safety profile of TRIKAFTA®.
