New triple therapy for kids with cystic fibrosis shows promise in phase 3 trial
NCT ID NCT05422222
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a triple-combination drug (VX-121/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor) in children aged 1 to 11 with cystic fibrosis who have a specific genetic mutation. The goal is to check how the medicine works in the body, its safety, and how well children tolerate it. Around 210 children will take part, and the study also looks at changes in sweat chloride levels, a key marker of CF.
