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.

Abstract
This application describes methods of treating cystic fibrosis comprising administering vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor.
Description
10275-0230-00304 METHODS OF TREATMENT FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/549,539, filed on February 4, 2024, the contents of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0002] 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-2λ6-thia- 3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.111,14.05,10]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- methylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide, and in combination with deutivacaftor, also known as N-(2-(tert-butyl)-5-hydroxy-4-(2-(methyl-d3)propan-2-yl- 1,1,1,3,3,3-d6)phenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide. [0003] Cystic fibrosis (CF) 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. [0004] In patients with CF, 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. In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, result in death. In addition, the majority of males with cystic fibrosis are infertile, and fertility is reduced among females with cystic fibrosis. [0005] Sequence analysis of the CFTR gene has revealed a variety of disease-causing mutations (Cutting, G. R. et al. (1990) Nature 346:366-369; Dean, M. et al. (1990) Cell 61:863:870; and Kerem, B-S. et al. (1989) Science 245:1073-1080; Kerem, B-S et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8447-8451). To date, greater than 2000 mutations in the CF gene have been identified; currently, 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. As a result, 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. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion and fluid transport across epithelia. (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J.4: 2709-2727). The channels that are defective because of the F508del mutation are still functional, albeit less functional than wild-type CFTR channels. (Dalemans et al. (1991), Nature Lond.354: 526-528; Pasyk and Foskett (1995), J. Cell. Biochem.270: 12347-50). In addition to F508del, other disease-causing mutations in CFTR that result in defective trafficking, synthesis, and/or channel gating could be up- or down-regulated to alter anion secretion and modify disease progression and/or severity. [0007] 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. [0008] 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. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via Cl- channels, resulting in a vectorial transport. Arrangement of Na+/2Cl-/K+ co-transporter, Na+-K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+
10275-0230-00304 channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side. Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride. [0009] A number of CFTR modulating compounds have recently been identified. Vanzacaftor ((14S)-8-[3-(2-{dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl}ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12- dimethyl-2λ6-thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo [17.3.1.111,14.05,10]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 mutant forms of human CFTR-mediated diseases, such as cystic fibrosis. Deutivacaftor (N-(2-(tert-butyl)-5-hydroxy-4-(2-(methyl- d3)propan-2-yl-1,1,1,3,3,3-d6)phenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide) is a potent and selective CFTR potentiator of wild-type and mutant forms of human CFTR and is useful in treating cystic fibrosis. [0010] TRIKAFTA, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019, is the current standard of care for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients aged at least 2 years who have at least one F508del mutation in the CFTR gene or a mutation in the CFTR gene that is responsive based on in vitro data. 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). [0011] However, methods of providing statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in CFTR function in cystic fibrosis patients are still needed. 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. Fibr., In Press; DOI:10.1016/j.jcf.2024.12.006. 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. Specifically, 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). Thus, one aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in a patient aged at least 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels in the patient to less than about 60 mmol/L. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in a patient aged at least 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels in the patient to about 30 mmol/L or less. [0012] One aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in patients aged at least 12 years for a duration sufficient reduce sweat chloride levels below a threshold of 60 mmol/L in a proportion of the patients. In some embodiments, the proportion of patients aged at least 12 years that reach a reduced sweat chloride level below a threshold of 60 mmol/L is about 86%. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in patients aged at least 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels to a threshold of 30 mmol/L or below in a proportion of the patients. In some embodiments, the proportion of patients aged at least 12 years that reach a reduced sweat chloride level to a threshold of 30 mmol/L or below is about 31%. [0013] In some embodiments, the cystic fibrosis patient aged at least 12 years has a CFTR genotype selected from F508del/F508del, F508del/residual function mutation, F508del/gating mutation, and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor-responsive mutation/non- F508del. In some embodiments, the cystic fibrosis patient aged at least 12 years has a CFTR genotype of F508del/minimal function mutation. [0014] Another aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in a patient aged 6 to less than 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels in the patient to less than about 60 mmol/L. In some embodiments, the invention provides
10275-0230-00304 methods of treating cystic fibrosis in a patient aged 6 to less than 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels in the patient to about 30 mmol/L or less. [0015] Yet another aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels below a threshold of 60 mmol/L in a proportion of the patients. In some embodiments, the proportion of patients aged 6 to less than 12 years that reach a reduced sweat chloride level below a threshold of 60 mmol/L is about 95%. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels to a threshold of 30 mmol/L or below in a proportion of the patients. In some embodiments, the proportion of patients aged 6 to less than 12 years that reach a reduced sweat chloride level to a threshold of 30 mmol/L or below is about 53%. [0016] In some embodiments, the cystic fibrosis patient aged 6 to less than 12 years has a CFTR genotype of F508del/minimal function mutation. In some embodiments, the cystic fibrosis patient aged 6 to less than 12 years has a cystic fibrosis genotype with at least one elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor-responsive mutation.

Baseline was determined after a 4-week run-in period during which both groups received daily administration of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. [0018] FIG.2 shows mean absolute change in subject sweat chloride levels over a 52- week period for patients aged at least 12 years with a CFTR genotype selected from F508del/F508del, F508del/residual function mutation, F508del/gating mutation, and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ ivacaftor-responsive mutation/no F508del genotype receiving either elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor or vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor. Baseline was determined after a 4-week run-in period during which both patient groups received daily administration of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.

[0026] One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that the mass of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form of a compound includes the mass of the compound alone (i.e., the mass of the free base form of the compound) plus the mass of the salt co- former(s). For example, 21.24 mg of vanzacaftor calcium salt hydrate Form D contains 20 mg of vanzacaftor. Similarly, 12.74 mg of vanzacaftor calcium salt hydrate Form D contains 12 mg of vanzacaftor; 10.6 mg of vanzacaftor calcium salt hydrate Form D contains 10 mg of vanzacaftor; and 4.24 mg of vanzacaftor calcium salt hydrate Form D contains 4 mg of vanzacaftor.

10275-0230-00304 [0030] “Ivacaftor” or “IVA” as used throughout this disclosure refers to N-(5-hydroxy- 2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenyl)-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxamide, which has the following structure: OH O O . Ivacaftor and methods of
disclosed in WO 2006/002421, WO 2007/079139, WO 2010/108162, and WO 2010/019239, each incorporated herein by reference. [0031] The terms “about” and “approximately” may refer to an acceptable error for a particular value as determined by one of skill in the art, which depends in part on how the values is measured or determined. In certain embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean within 1, 2, 3, or 4 standard deviations. In some embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean within 1 standard deviation. In some embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean within 10%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. In some embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean within 5% of a given value or range. In some embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean within 2% of a given value or range. As used herein, the symbol “~” appearing immediately before a numerical value has the same meaning as the
“about” and “approximately.” [0032] As used herein, “CFTR” or “CFTR protein” stands for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. [0033] As used herein, the term “modulator” refers to a compound that increases the activity of a biological compound such as a protein. For example, a CFTR modulator is a compound that increases the activity of CFTR. The increase in activity resulting from a CFTR modulator includes but is not limited to compounds that correct, potentiate, stabilize and/or amplify CFTR. [0034] As used herein, a “CFTR potentiator” refers to a compound that exhibits biological activity characterized by increasing gating functionality of the mutant CFTR protein present in the cell surface to approximately wild-type levels (i.e., a compound that augments or induces the channel activity of CFTR protein located at the cell surface,
10275-0230-00304 resulting in increased functional activity). Deutivacaftor and ivacaftor are CFTR potentiators. [0035] As used herein, the term “CFTR corrector” refers to a compound that augments or induces the amount of functional CFTR protein to the cell surface, resulting in increased functional activity. Vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and elexacaftor are CFTR correctors. [0036] The term “patient” refers to a human suffering from cystic fibrosis aged either 12 years or older or at least 6 years up to less than 12 years. [0037] As used herein, “mutations” can refer to mutations in the CFTR gene or the CFTR protein. A “CFTR gene mutation” refers to a mutation in the CFTR gene, and a “CFTR protein mutation” refers to a mutation in the CFTR protein. A genetic defect or mutation, or a change in the nucleotides in a gene, in general results in a mutation in the CFTR protein translated from that gene, or a frame shift(s). [0038] The term “F508del” refers to a mutant CFTR protein which is lacking the amino acid phenylalanine at position 508. [0039] As used herein, “residual function mutations” refers to CFTR gene mutations associated with some remaining CFTR function. Some CFTR mutations reduce CFTR protein quantity or function to such an extent that there is little to no total CFTR activity. Other mutations result only in reduced protein quantity or function at the cell surface which can produce partial CFTR activity. These mutations are called residual function mutations. For example, some CFTR mutations that cause defective mRNA splicing, such as 2789+5G^A and E831X, result in reduced protein synthesis, but deliver some functional CFTR to the surface of the cell to provide residual function. Other CFTR mutations that reduce conductance and/or gating, such as R117H, result in a normal quantity of CFTR channels at the surface of the cell, but the functional level is low, resulting in residual function. Some mutations, such as F508del, result in multiple CFTR protein defects. Both CFTR alleles play a role in determining phenotype of disease severity. Common residual function mutations include E56K, P67L, R74W, D110E, D110H, R117C, R117H, G178R, E193K, L206W, R347H, R352Q, A455E, S549N, S549R, G551D, G551S, D579G, 711+3A^G, E831X, S945L, S977F, F1052V, K1060T, A1067T, R1070W, F1074L, D1152H, G1244E, S1251N, S1255P, D1270N, G1349D, 2789+5G^A, 3272-26A^G, and 3849+10kbC^T. Patients with residual function mutations may experience the symptoms of CFTR-mediated diseases later in life and
10275-0230-00304 symptoms may be less severe than in patients with other mutations. Patients with CFTR residual function mutations tend to have higher rates of pancreatic sufficiency, less elevated sweat chloride levels, and less severe pulmonary disease than patients with other mutations. However, patients with a residual function mutation generally have progressive lung function decline and other complications of CF that may still lead to a severe disease stage and cause premature death. [0040] As used herein, “gating mutations,” also known as “defective channel gating mutations,” refers to mutations associated with with severe defects in ability of the CFTR channel to open and close. [0041] As used herein, “minimal function mutations” refers to CFTR gene mutations associated with minimal CFTR function (little-to-no functioning CFTR protein) and include gating mutations; mutations associated with severe defects in the cellular processing of CFTR and its delivery to the cell surface; mutations associated with no (or minimal) CFTR synthesis; and mutations associated with severe defects in channel conductance. [0042] The terms “elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor-responsive-mutation” or “ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive” are used interchangeably with “mutation responsive to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor” and refers to CFTR mutations that respond to treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor based on in vitro data. In one embodiment, the in vitro data is measured in Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells. [0043] As used herein, a patient who is “homozygous” for a particular gene mutation has the same mutation on each allele. [0044] As used herein, a patient who is “heterozygous” for a particular gene mutation has the particular mutation on one allele and a different mutation on the other allele. [0045] The term “F508del/F508del” refers to a CFTR genotype wherein the patient is homozygous for the F508del mutation. The term “F508del/residual function mutation” refers to a CFTR genotype wherein the patient is heterozygous, having an F508del mutation on one allele and a residual function mutation on the other allele. The term “F508del/gating mutation” refers to a CFTR genotype wherein the patient is heterozygous, having an F508del mutation on one allele and a gating mutation on the other allele. The term “F508del/residual function mutation” refers to a CFTR genotype wherein the patient is heterozygous, having an F508del mutation on one allele and a minimal function mutation on the other allele. The term “elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor-responsive
10275-0230-00304 mutation/no F508del” refers to a CFTR genotype wherein the patient has at least one mutation responsive to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor on one allele and no F508del mutation on the other allele. [0046] As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treating,” and the like generally mean the improvement of CF or its symptoms or lessening the severity of CF or one or more of the symptoms of CF in a subject. “Treatment,” as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, the following: reduced sweat chloride levels, increased growth of the subject, increased weight gain, reduction of mucus in the lungs, improved pancreatic and/or liver function, reduction of chest infections, and/or reductions in coughing or shortness of breath. Improvements in or lessening the severity of any of these symptoms can be readily assessed according to standard methods and techniques known in the art. [0047] As used herein, the term “in combination with,” when referring to two or more compounds, agents, or additional active pharmaceutical ingredients, means the administration of two or more compounds, agents, or active pharmaceutical ingredients to the patient prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to each other. [0048] As used herein, the terms “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. Pediatr.2007, 151(1):85-9; Farrell PM et al. J. Pediatr.2017, 181S:S4-S15.e1. [0049] As used herein, the term “baseline” refers to SwCl levels in a patient who has received treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor prior to treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor. In some embodiments “baseline” refers to SwCl levels in a patient who has received treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor. [0050] As used herein, the term “amorphous” refers to a solid material having no long- range order in the position of its molecules. Amorphous solids are generally supercooled liquids in which the molecules are arranged in a random manner so that there is no well- defined arrangement, e.g., molecular packing, and no long-range order. Amorphous solids
10275-0230-00304 are generally isotropic, i.e., exhibit similar properties in all directions and do not have definite melting points. [0051] In some embodiments, a solid material may comprise a mixture of crystalline solids and amorphous solids. 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. In embodiments wherein the solid material contains a mixture of crystalline solids and amorphous solids, the characterizing data, such as XRPD, may contain indicators of both crystalline and amorphous solids. [0052] As used herein, 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). In general, the dispersed phases can be solids, liquids, or gases. In the case of a solid dispersion, the dispersed and continuous phases are both solids. In this invention, a solid dispersion can include an amorphous drug in an amorphous polymer or an amorphous drug in crystalline polymer. In some embodiments, a solid dispersion includes the drug constituting the dispersed phase, and the polymer constitutes the continuous phase. [0053] As used herein, the term “solid dispersion” generally refers to a solid dispersion of two or more components. In some embodiments a solid dispersion comprises a single API, (e.g., tezacaftor or deutivacaftor). In some embodiments, the solid dispersion comprises two APIs (e.g., tezacaftor and deutivacaftor). In some embodiments, the solid dispersion contains a polymer, but possibly containing other components such as surfactants or other pharmaceutical excipients, where the drug(s) (e.g., tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor) is substantially amorphous (e.g., having about 15% or less (e.g., about 10% or less, or about 5% or less)) of crystalline drug or amorphous (i.e., having no crystalline drug), and the physical stability and/or dissolution and/or solubility of the substantially amorphous or amorphous drug is enhanced by the other components. Solid dispersions typically include a compound dispersed in an appropriate carrier medium, such as a solid- state carrier. For example, a carrier comprises a polymer (e.g., a water-soluble polymer or a partially water-soluble polymer) and can include optional excipients such as functional
10275-0230-00304 excipients (e.g., one or more surfactants) or nonfunctional excipients (e.g., one or more fillers). Another exemplary solid dispersion is a spray-dried dispersion, co-precipitate, or a co-melt of tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor, optionally comprising at least one polymer. [0054] As used herein, “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. In another example, a fully crystalline solid has zero (0%) amorphous material. In embodiments wherein the solid material contains a mixture of crystalline solids and amorphous solids, the characterizing data, such as XRPD, may contain indicators of both crystalline and amorphous solids. [0055] As used herein, the terms “X-ray powder diffractogram,” “X-ray powder diffraction pattern,” “XRPD pattern,” “XRPD spectrum” interchangeably refer to an experimentally obtained pattern plotting signal positions (on the abscissa) versus signal intensities (on the ordinate). For an amorphous material, an X-ray powder diffractogram may include one or more broad signals; and for a crystalline material, an X-ray powder diffractogram may include one or more signals, each identified by its angular value as measured in degrees 2^ (° 2^), depicted on the abscissa of an X-ray powder diffractogram, which may be expressed as “a signal at … degrees two-theta,” “a signal at [a] two-theta value(s)of …” and/or “a signal at at least … two-theta value(s) selected from ….” [0056] A “signal” or “peak” as used herein refers to a point in an XRPD pattern where the intensity as measured in counts is at a local maximum. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that one or more signals (or peaks) in an XRPD pattern may overlap and may, for example, not be apparent to the naked eye. Indeed, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that some art-recognized methods are capable of and suitable for determining whether a signal exists in a pattern, such as Rietveld refinement. The repeatability of the measured angular values is in the range of ±0.2° 2^, i.e., the angular value can be at the recited angular value +0.2 degrees two-theta, the angular value -0.2 degrees two-theta, or any value between those two end points (angular value +0.2 degrees two-theta and angular value -0.2 degrees two-theta). Detailed Description [0057] The present invention relates to methods of treating 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-2λ6-thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.111,14.05,10]

[0058] One aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels in the patient. [0059] One aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis for a duration sufficient to reduce sweat chloride levels below a threshold in a proportion of the patients. In some embodiments, the threshold is less than 60 mmol/L. In some embodiments, the threshold is less than 30 mmol/L. [0060] One aspect of the invention provides methods of treating cystic fibrosis comprising administering about 20 mg of vanzacaftor, about 100 mg of tezacaftor, and about 250 mg of deutivacaftor. In some embodiments, vanzacaftor is in a crystalline solid the form of calcium salt hydrate form D. In some embodiments, tezacaftor is in amorphous or substantially amorphous form and is administered in a solid dispersion. In some embodiments, deutivacaftor is in amorphous or substantially amorphous form and is administered in a solid dispersion. In some embodiments, vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor are administered in a single pharmaceutical composition. [0061] In some embodiments, the patient is heterozygous and has an F508del mutation on one allele and a mutation on the other allele selected from Table 1: Table 1.

10275-0230-00304 Example 2: Improvement of patient sweat chloride using vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/ deutivacaftor in patients at least 12 years [0098] Two studies were part of a Phase 3 program and were randomized, double- blind, active-controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of vanzacaftor (20 mg)/tezacaftor (100 mg)/deutivacaftor (250 mg) in patients with CF aged at least 12 years who have at least one F508del mutation or a mutation expected to be responsive to vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor, compared to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor for 52 weeks of treatment. A first study included subjects with F508del mutation/minimal function mutations (Study 1), while a second study included subjects with other responsive genotypes; namely, F508del/F508del, F508del/residual function mutation, F508del/gating mutation, and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor-responsive mutation/no F508del mutation (Study 2). Both studies included a four-week run-in period where patients received elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. [0099] In both Study 1 and Study 2, the primary endpoint of change from baseline in percent predicted forced expiratory volume (ppFEV1) through week 24 was met and treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor was shown to be non-inferior to treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. [00100] As shown in Table 6, in Study 1 (patients with F508del/minimal function mutation genotype), the absolute mean change from baseline in SwCl through week 24 was -7.5 mmol/L for those taking vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor, compared to an increase of 0.9 in those taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ ivacaftor, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in CFTR function. This difference was maintained at week 52, which showed an absolute mean change from baseline in SwCl of -7.5 mmol/L for those taking vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor, compared to an increase of 0.5 in those taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.

This difference was maintained through 52 weeks, where 78% of patients had a SwCl level below 60 mmol/L following treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor, compared to 58% of patients treated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. Following treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor through 24 weeks, 20% of patients across both trials had a SwCl of below 30 mmol/L, compared to 7% of patients treated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. This difference was maintained through 52 weeks, where 19% of patients had a SwCl level below 30 mmol/L following treatment with vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor, compared to 7% of patients treated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.

10275-0230-00304 Example 3: Improvement of patient sweat chloride using vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years (Study 3) [00105] A third study Study 3 was part of a Phase 3 program as a multicohort, open- label study in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years with at least one mutation responsive to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. The study evaluated safety, tolerability, and efficacy of vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor in a total of 78 patients aged 6 to less than 12 years during a 24-week treatment period. All patients were administered elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor for at least four weeks at the beginning of the study period. Patients aged 6 to less than 12 years weighing ≥ 40 kg at Day 1 received vanzacaftor 20 mg qd/tezacaftor 100 mg qd/deutivacaftor 250 mg qd. Patients weighing <40 kg at Day 1 received vanzacaftor 12 mg qd/tezacaftor 60 mg qd/deutivacaftor 150 mg qd. [00106] In Study 3, safety and tolerability were the primary endpoints. Efficacy endpoints included absolute change in ppFEV1, sweat chloride, Cystic Fibrosis Questionaire-Revised (CFQ-R) respiratory domain score, number of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) and CF-related hospitalizations, measure of growth parameters (weight, height, BMI, and associated z scores) and measured as change from elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor baseline. [00107] Vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor were generally safe and well-tolerated in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years. Patients in this study maintained their baseline level of lung function 99.7 % with absolute LS mean change from baseline of 0.0 and had an absolute mean change in sweat chloride of -8.6 mm/L from baseline levels of 40.4 mm/L on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (See Table 11).

Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing CFTR mutations that result in CFTR protein being delivered to the cell surface. [00110] 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.
10275-0230-00304 [00111] 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. [00113] 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. [00114] 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. [00115] 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.
