Participant flow

Recruitment details

This study was planned in 2 parts: Part A (Treatment Period), which consisted of 2 cohorts (i.e., cohort 1 and 2) and Part B (Optional Exploratory Off-treatment Follow-up Period). The primary and secondary efficacy analyses and safety analyses were planned for only Part A.

Pre-assignment details

This study was conducted on adult participants who had APOL1-mediated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Participants by arm

ArmCount
VX-147
All participants received VX-147 at a dosage of 15 mg qd for 2 weeks and VX-147 at a dosage of 45 mg qd for 11 weeks. Part A was enrolled in 2 cohorts: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. Cohort 1 included participants with urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) approximately ≥3 g/g (± 10%) and \<10 g/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) approximately ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (± 10%). Cohort 2 included participants with UPCR approximately ≥0.8 g/g (± 10%) and \<2.7 g/g and eGFR approximately ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Percent Change From Baseline in UPCR

Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 13

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug in the treatment period. Here Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome and the Number Analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for the specified Cohorts.

Population: The PK set included all those who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Though participants in this study were divided into two cohorts based on their UPCR range, PK data was collected and presented based on dose levels as all participants received 15 mg qd for 2 weeks and 45 mg qd for 11 weeks. Therefore, presenting data based on cohorts as per UPCR range was not relevant for purpose of PK endpoints. Here Number Analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable at specified timepoint.
