This first-in-human Phase 1/2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of BI 3720931, a third-generation lentiviral vector, in people with CF (pwCF) who are genetically ineligible for CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy (CFTRmt).
pwCF: ≥18 years; percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1) 50–100% at screening; no recent exacerbations; ineligible for CFTRmt; naïve to prior GT, or prior exposure to non-viral/viral GT with drug-free intervals of 6/24 months. Phase 1: open-label dose-escalation trial (n=9) of single low/medium/high-dose nebulised BI 3720931 (3/group) plus standard of care (SoC) with 24 weeks’ follow-up (FU). Primary endpoint: drug-related adverse events (AEs) within 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints: change from baseline ppFEV₁ ≥5% within 8 weeks; absolute change from baseline in ppFEV₁ at Week 24; dose-limiting toxicity up to Week 24. Bronchoscopy will be performed to quantify CFTR expression. Interim data from ≥8 weeks post-dose will inform Phase 2 dose selection. Phase 2 (n=27): randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-expansion trial of single-dose nebulised BI 3720931 (2 dose levels), or placebo plus SoC (1:1:1) with 24 weeks’ FU. Primary endpoint: absolute change from baseline in ppFEV₁ at Week 8; secondary endpoints: absolute change from baseline in ppFEV₁ at Week 24, and occurrence of serious and drug-related AEs up to Week 24.
The trial is estimated to begin in Q2 2024.
The trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of BI 3720931 over 24 weeks in pwCF who are ineligible for CFTRmt.
