Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of treating cystic fibrosis in a patient in need thereof (i.e., suffering from cystic fibrosis) using vanzacaftor, also known as (14S)-8- [3-(2- ⁇ dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl ⁇ ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12-dimethyl-2 ⁇ 6 -thia- 3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.1 11,14 .0 5,10 ]tetracosa-1(22),5,7,9,19(23),20- hexaene-2,2,4-trione, in combination with tezacaftor, also known as (R)-1-(2,2- difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-6-fluoro-2-(1-hydroxy-2-
- Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disease that affects approximately 92,000 children and adults worldwide. Despite progress in the treatment of CF, there is no cure.
- CFTR mutations in CFTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia lead to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport. The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to enhanced mucus accumulation in the lung and accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients.
- CF patients In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, result in death.
- the CFTR2 database contains information on only 804 of these identified mutations, with sufficient evidence to define 719 mutations as disease-causing.
- the most prevalent disease-causing mutation is a deletion of 10275-0230-00304 phenylalanine at position 508 of the CFTR amino acid sequence and is commonly referred to as the F508del mutation. This mutation occurs in many of the cases of cystic fibrosis and is associated with severe disease. [0006]
- the deletion of residue 508 in CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly. This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and traffic to the plasma membrane.
- ER endoplasmic reticulum
- the number of CFTR channels for anion transport present in the membrane is far less than observed in cells expressing wild-type CFTR, i.e., CFTR having no mutations.
- the mutation results in defective channel gating.
- the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion and fluid transport across epithelia.
- the channels that are defective because of the F508del mutation are still functional, albeit less functional than wild-type CFTR channels.
- CFTR is a cAMP/ATP-mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cell types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelial cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue.
- CFTR is composed of approximately 1480 amino acids that encode a protein which is made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.
- R regulatory
- Chloride transport takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na + -K + -ATPase pump and Cl- channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell.
- Vanzacaftor ((14S)-8-[3-(2- ⁇ dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl ⁇ ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12- dimethyl-2 ⁇ 6 -thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo [17.3.1.1 11,14 .0 5,10 ]tetracosa- 1(22),5,7,9,19(23),20-hexaene-2,2,4-trione or vanzacaftor) and tezacaftor ((R)-1-(2,2- difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-6-fluoro-2-(1-hydroxy-2- methylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide) are both potent and selective CFTR correctors for treating

- TRIKAFTA approved by the U.S.
- TRIKAFTA is administered as a morning dose of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor and an evening dose of ivacaftor.
- KAFTRIO approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2020, is administered in the morning as elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, followed by evening administration of KALYDECO (ivacaftor).
- Phase 3 data for TRIKAFTA supports a potential “ceiling effect” for improvement in ppFEV1, as demonstrated by the fact that CF participants with two responsive CFTR variants did not have greater improvements in ppFEV1 than CF participants with only one responsive CFTR variant, despite having greater improvements in CFTR function, as reflected in a larger drop in sweat chloride concentration. See: Edith T. Zemanick et al., Sweat chloride reflects CFTR function and correlates with clinical outcomes following CFTR modulator treatment, J. Cyst.
- PpFEV1 is the percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (a measure of 10275-0230-00304 lung function), and is the commonly used metric for patient CFTR function and level of clinical improvement. This lack of greater improvement in ppFEV1 highlights the need for more sensitive clinical measures that better reflect improvement in the underlying causal disease biology in CF to differentiate levels of efficacy as new CFTR modulators are developed. Patient sweat chloride levels provide such a metric, and lower sweat chloride levels may be associated with improved clinical outcomes.
- CFTR modulators provide clinical benefit by restoring CFTR function towards normal, e.g., to patient sweat chloride levels of ⁇ 60 mmol/L (below the diagnostic threshold for CF) and ⁇ 30 mmol/L (normal levels).

- sweat chloride and “SwCl” are used interchangeably and refer to the amount of chloride anion present in the sweat of a patient.
- Sweat chloride is a marker of underlying CFTR dysfunction that causes CF, and greater improvement in sweat chloride is associated with greater restoration of CFTR function.
- a sweat chloride level of 60 mmol/L is a diagnostic threshold for CF. Patients with a sweat chloride level below 30 mmol/L are unlikely to have CF, and this level is seen in CF carriers who do not have the disease. Methods for testing sweat chloride are well known in the art and have been reported in, e.g., LeGrys VA et al., J.

- the term “substantially amorphous” refers to a solid material having less than about 15% crystallinity (e.g., less than about 10% crystallinity or less than about 5% crystallinity). It is also noted that the term “substantially amorphous” includes the descriptor “amorphous,” which refers to materials having no (0%) crystallinity.
- the characterizing data may contain indicators of both crystalline and amorphous solids.
- the term “dispersion” refers to a disperse system in which one substance, the dispersed phase, is distributed, in discrete units, throughout a second substance (the continuous phase or vehicle).
- the size of the dispersed phase can vary considerably (e.g., single molecules, colloidal particles of nanometer dimension, to multiple microns in size).
- the dispersed phases can be solids, liquids, or gases. In the case of a solid dispersion, the dispersed and continuous phases are both solids.
- a solid dispersion can include an amorphous drug in an amorphous polymer or an amorphous drug in crystalline polymer.
- a solid dispersion includes the drug constituting the dispersed phase, and the polymer constitutes the continuous phase.
- the term “solid dispersion” generally refers to a solid dispersion of two or more components.
- a solid dispersion comprises a single API, (e.g., tezacaftor or deutivacaftor).
- the solid dispersion comprises two APIs (e.g., tezacaftor and deutivacaftor).

- a solid dispersion is a spray-dried dispersion, co-precipitate, or a co-melt of tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor, optionally comprising at least one polymer.
- crystalline solid refers to a solid material with a high degree of structural order (i.e., long-range order in the position of its molecules).
- a “substantially crystalline” material has less than about 15% amorphous solid, i.e., its solid-state structure is at least about 85% crystalline.
- a fully crystalline solid has zero (0%) amorphous material.
- the characterizing data such as XRPD, may contain indicators of both crystalline and amorphous solids.

- Example 4 CFTR Chloride Transport Assay of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) Cells Expressing Mutant CFTR [00109] The chloride transport response of mutant CFTR protein to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor was determined in Ussing chamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cell lines transfected with individual CFTR mutations.
- FRT Fischer Rat Thyroid
- Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing CFTR mutations that result in CFTR protein being delivered to the cell surface.
- the in vitro CFTR chloride transport response threshold was designated as a net increase of at least 10% of normal over baseline because it is predictive or reasonably expected to predict clinical benefit. For individual mutations, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response.
- Table 3 lists responsive CFTR mutations based on in vitro data in FRT cells indicating that elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor increases chloride transport to at least 10% of normal over baseline.
- Example 5 CFTR Chloride Transport Assay of Vanzacaftor/Tezacaftor/ Deutivacaftor in Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) Cells Expressing Mutant CFTR [00112] The chloride transport response of mutant CFTR protein to vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor was determined using chamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of FRT cell lines transfected with individual CFTR mutations.
- vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing select CFTR mutations.
- the in vitro CFTR chloride transport response threshold was designated as a net increase of at least 10% of normal over baseline because it is predictive of clinical benefit. For individual mutations, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR mediated chloride transport in vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response.
- Clinical outcomes were consistent with in vitro results and indicate that a single responsive allele (including the F508del mutation) is sufficient to result in a significant clinical response.
- Table 4 lists responsive CFTR mutations based on in vitro data in FRT cells and/or clinical data indicating that vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor increases chloride transport.
