A Study to Confirm the Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of Kalydeco in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Who Have an R117H-CFTR Mutation, Including Pediatric Patients

A Study in US Cystic Fibrosis Patients With the R117H-CFTR Mutation to Confirm the Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of Kalydeco, Including Patients <18 Years of Age, Combining Data Captured in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Registry From an Interventional Cohort and a Non-Interventional Cohort

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of Kalydeco® (ivacaftor) in US CF patients with the R117H-CFTR mutation \<18 years of age and to describe the long-term safety and effectiveness of Kalydeco in CF patients with the R117H-CFTR mutation overall and in patients ≥18 years. The long-term safety and effectiveness of Kalydeco will be examined in totality through the evaluation of the primary outcome measures.

Detailed description

Patient follow-up (i.e., collection of outcomes data after treatment initiation) in the Non-Interventional Cohort will be at least 36 months. The study also includes retrieval of retrospective data entered into the registry for 36 months before the initiation of Kalydeco treatment, from patients matched for Non-Interventional Cohorts. This will permit a within-group comparison of outcomes before and after Kalydeco treatment for effectiveness and safety. The interventional cohort will not be utilized.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Lung function measurements (percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] and forced vital capacity [FVC])36 MonthsSpirometry will be performed according to the standard procedure at each site, and FEV1 values as recorded in the registry will be evaluated. All descriptive and summary data collected for FEV1 will be repeated for FVC
Pulmonary exacerbations, use of IV antibiotics36 MonthsPulmonary exacerbation data will be collected as recorded in the registry.
Nutritional parameters (body mass index [BMI], BMI-for-age z-score, weight, and weight-for-age z-score)36 MonthsHeight and weight measurements as recorded in the registry will be evaluated. BMI, BMI-for-age z-score, and weight-for-age z-score will be derived
Death or transplantation36 monthsDeath will be collected from the registry database.
Hospitalizations36 MonthsHospitalizations will be collected from the registry database.
Selected Complications (Symptomatic sinus disease, Pulmonary complications, CF-related diabetes (CFRD) and distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS), Hepatobiliary complications, Pancreatitis)36 MonthsInformation for the above shown CF-related complications as recorded in the registry will be evaluated
Select pulmonary microorganisms (e.g., P. aeruginosa, S. aureus)36 MonthsData on microorganisms as recorded in the registry will be evaluated
