Study summary

32 cystic fibrosis patients with the G551D mutation will be treated for 4 weeks, consisting of three consecutive treatment periods: two 1-week periods followed by one 2-week period, evaluating one dose of GLPG1837 each. After the treatment period, there is a 7-10 days follow-up period.

During the course of the study, subjects will be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability).

Changes in sweat chloride will be assessed as biomarker from baseline onwards, and changes in pulmonary function (efficacy) will be explored throughout the study. The amount of GLPG1837 present in the blood (pharmacokinetics) will also be determined.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in adverse events

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG1837 in terms of adverse events at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 9 weeks

  2. Changes in laboratory parameters

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG1837 in terms of abnormal laboratory parameters at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 7 weeks

  3. Changes in vital signs - composite outcome measure

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG1837 in terms of abnormal vital signs as measured by temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate, at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 9 weeks

  4. Changes in physical examination - composite outcome measure

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG1837 in terms of abnormalities during physical examination at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 9 weeks

  5. Changes in electrocardiogram

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG1837 in terms of abnormal electrocardiogram at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 7 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in sweat chloride concentration

    To evaluate the effect of GLPG1837 in terms of change in sweat chloride concentration, a biomarker to measure cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel function at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 9 weeks

  2. Changes in pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FEV1) assessed by spirometry

    To explore the effect of GLPG1837 in terms of change in pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FEV1) assessed by spirometry at every visit

    Time frame: Up to 9 weeks

  3. Plasma levels of GLPG1837: Cmax, the maximum observed plasma concentration

    To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GLPG1837 by measuring the amount in plasma between Day 8 and Day 29 at every visit; On Day 29, an 8-hour profile will determine the Cmax, the maximum observed plasma concentration

    Time frame: Up to 3 weeks

  4. Plasma levels of GLPG1837: tmax, the time of occurrence of Cmax

    To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GLPG1837 by measuring the amount in plasma between Day 8 and Day 29 at every visit; On Day 29, an 8-hour profile will determine the tmax, the time of occurrence of Cmax

    Time frame: Up to 3 weeks

  5. Plasma levels of GLPG1837: AUC, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve

    To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GLPG1837 by measuring the amount in plasma between Day 8 and Day 29 at every visit; On Day 29, an 8-hour profile will determine the AUC, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve

    Time frame: Up to 3 weeks
