BACKGROUND: Ataluren was developed to restore functional protein production in
genetic disorders caused by nonsense mutations, which are the cause of cystic
fibrosis in 10% of patients. This trial was designed to assess the efficacy and
safety of ataluren in patients with nonsense-mutation cystic fibrosis. METHODS:
This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study enrolled
patients from 36 sites in 11 countries in North America and Europe. Eligible
patients with nonsense-mutation cystic fibrosis (aged ? 6 years; abnormal nasal
potential difference; sweat chloride >40 mmol/L; forced expiratory volume in 1 s
[FEV1] ? 40% and ? 90%) were randomly assigned by interactive response technology
to receive oral ataluren (10 mg/kg in morning, 10 mg/kg midday, and 20 mg/kg in
evening) or matching placebo for 48 weeks. Randomisation used a block size of
four, stratified by age, chronic inhaled antibiotic use, and percent-predicted
FEV1. The primary endpoint was relative change in percent-predicted FEV1 from
baseline to week 48, analysed in all patients with a post-baseline spirometry
measurement. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number
NCT00803205. FINDINGS: Between Sept 8, 2009, and Nov 30, 2010, 238 patients were
randomly assigned, of whom 116 in each treatment group had a valid post-baseline
spirometry measurement. Relative change from baseline in percent-predicted FEV1
did not differ significantly between ataluren and placebo at week 48 (-2.5% vs
-5.5%; difference 3.0% [95% CI -0.8 to 6.3]; p=0.12). The number of pulmonary
exacerbations did not differ significantly between treatment groups (rate ratio
0.77 [95% CI 0.57-1.05]; p=0.0992). However, post-hoc analysis of the subgroup of
patients not using chronic inhaled tobramycin showed a 5.7% difference (95% CI
1.5-10.1) in relative change from baseline in percent-predicted FEV1 between the
ataluren and placebo groups at week 48 (-0.7% [-4.0 to 2.1] vs -6.4% [-9.8 to
-3.7]; nominal p=0.0082), and fewer pulmonary exacerbations in the ataluern group
(1.42 events [0.9-1.9] vs 2.18 events [1.6-2.7]; rate ratio 0.60 [0.42-0.86];
nominal p=0.0061). Safety profiles were generally similar for ataluren and
placebo, except for the occurrence of increased creatinine concentrations (ie,
acute kidney injury), which occurred in 18 (15%) of 118 patients in the ataluren
group compared with one (<1%) of 120 patients in the placebo group. No
life-threatening adverse events or deaths were reported in either group.
INTERPRETATION: Although ataluren did not improve lung function in the overall
population of nonsense-mutation cystic fibrosis patients who received this
treatment, it might be beneficial for patients not taking chronic inhaled
tobramycin. FUNDING: PTC Therapeutics, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, US Food and
