This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

Sponsored by: Altus Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by: Altus Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00449904
  Purpose

This is an open-label, single-arm clinical study investigating the long-term safety of ALTU-135 treatment in patients with CF-related exocrine PI. This is a multi-center trial with a one year duration. Approximately 200 patients with CF-related exocrine PI will be enrolled into the study.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • ≥ 7 years of age
  • Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use birth control (IUD; oral, transdermal or parenteral contraceptives; abstinence)
  • Diagnosis of CF based upon the following criteria:

two clinical features consistent with CF; and either

  • A genotype with two identifiable mutations consistent with CF, or
  • Sweat chloride > 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis.

    • Clinically stable with no evidence of acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection.
    • PI determined by fecal elastase < 100 µg/g measured at the Screening Visit unless previously documented.
    • Able to take pancreatic enzyme supplementation in the form of capsules.
    • Able to perform the testing and procedures required for this study, as judged by the Investigator.
    • Willing and able to provide informed consent or assent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • < 7 years of age
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding or of childbearing potential and not willing to use birth control (IUD; oral, transdermal or parenteral contraceptives; abstinence) during the study.
  • Participation in an investigational study of a drug, biologic, or device not currently approved for marketing within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit except for the Phase III Efficacy Study (Protocol 0000726).
  • History of fibrosing colonopathy.
  • History of liver transplant, lung transplant or significant surgical resection of the bowel.

Note: Significant resection of the bowel is defined as any resection of the terminal ileum, or ileo-cecal valve. Patients who have had qualitative, long-term changes in nutritional status after any other bowel resection (e.g., increased, or new, need for supplementation compared to pre-op in order to maintain the same nutritional status) should also be excluded.

  • Any chronic diarrheal illness unrelated to PI (e.g., sprue or inflammatory bowel disease).
  • ALT or AST level > 5 x ULN, or total bilirubin level > 1.5x ULN at the Screening Visit or at Baseline (except for patients with Gilbert Syndrome).
  • Signs and/or symptoms of liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension (e.g., splenomegaly, ascites, esophageal varices), or documented liver disease unrelated to CF. (Eligible patients with ALT or AST level > 3x to 5x ULN at the Screening Visit or at Baseline will be tested for viral hepatitis. Other diagnostic testing may be performed at the discretion of the Investigator.)
  • Unable to discontinue enteral tube feedings during the study
  • Any condition that the Investigator believes would interfere with the intent of this study or would make participation not in the best interest of the patient.
  • Baseline CFA ≥ 93% from the Phase III efficacy study (Protocol 0000726).
  • Patient is unlikely to complete the study, as determined by the Investigator.
