Numerous clinical trials spanning Phase 1 through Phase 4 evaluate VX-809 (lumacaftor), focusing primarily on cystic fibrosis in F508del-CFTR populations—including pediatric patients and individuals with related glucose intolerance or diabetes—as well as non-respiratory indications such as Long QT syndrome and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Supported by both commercial entities and academic medical centers, these studies encompass completed, recruiting, terminated, and withdrawn recruitment statuses to comprehensively assess lumacaftor's therapeutic potential across metabolic, cardiac, and respiratory conditions.
