Vanzacaftor–tezacaftor–deutivacaftor for children aged 6–11 years with cystic fibrosis (RIDGELINE Trial VX21-121-105): an analysis from a single-arm, phase 3 trial

In phase 2 trials in people with cystic fibrosis aged 18 years and older, vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor has been shown to be a safe and effective, once-daily cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator. Restoring normal CFTR function early in life has the potential to prevent manifestations of cystic fibrosis. We aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis aged 6-11 years.

% predicted of 60% or higher, and stable cystic fibrosis as determined by investigators. Before study treatment, participants were either on stable elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor for at least 28 days before screening or received the combination for a 4-week run-in period. Participants then received vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor (
