Therapeutic indication of the resolution

Kaftrio is indicated in a combination regimen with ivacaftor for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients aged 6 years and older who have at least one F508del mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene

Subpopulation Indication Comparator
C) Children aged 6 to 11 years with cystic fibrosis who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene and carry a gating mutation (including R117H) on the second allele. Ivacaftor

Data not accepted (Dossier: Evidence transfer)

  • Clinical trials
    • The key study, VX18-445-104, which the pharmaceutical manufacturer cites in its argument for extending the additional benefit to patients aged 12 and over, was already deemed unsuitable in the context of the benefit assessments for this age group due to the study duration being insufficient.

Children aged 6 to 11 years with cystic fibrosis who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene and carry a gating mutation (including R117H) on the second allele

  • For the assessment of the additional benefit of ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in children aged 6 to 11 years with cystic fibrosis, who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene and carry a gating mutation (including R117H) on the second allele, the pharmaceutical manufacturer has not submitted any direct comparative studies against the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • It is not possible to extrapolate the additional benefit to the population in the present therapeutic indication, based on the information provided by the pharmaceutical manufacturer, either to patients with a different mutation type or to older patients.
  • Overall, for children aged 6 to 11 years with cystic fibrosis who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene and carry a gating mutation (including R117H) on the second allele, additional benefit is therefore not proven.
