According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02730208) enrolled 41 people with cystic fibrosis — 20 received a combination medicine called TEZ/IVA (tezacaftor/ivacaftor) and 21 received a placebo (a dummy treatment with no active ingredient). All 20 people in the TEZ/IVA group completed the study, while 20 out of 21 in the placebo group completed it. The main thing the trial was measuring was change in a lung CT scan score called the Brody/CF-CT score, which rates the visible structural damage to the lungs on a scale from 0 to 219 — a higher number means more damage is visible on the scan. The reported data shows that, on average, the Brody/CF-CT score changed by 0.90 points in the TEZ/IVA group and by 2.38 points in the placebo group over the course of the study. Both figures represent small increases from baseline (meaning slightly higher scores, suggesting slightly more visible lung changes on the scan), though the numbers reported are the average changes and no further breakdown was provided in the submitted data. As a secondary measure, the trial also recorded how many participants experienced adverse events (unexpected health problems during the study) and serious adverse events. The reported data shows that all 20 participants in the TEZ/IVA group and all 21 in the placebo group had at least one adverse event reported, while serious adverse events were reported in 8 participants in the TEZ/IVA group and 13 in the placebo group. It is important to note that these numbers alone do not tell us whether any differences between the groups are meaningful, and no conclusions about whether the treatment works or is safe can be drawn from these figures alone.
