AMPLITUDE

A Phase 2/3 Adaptive, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of VX-147 in Subjects Aged 12 Years and Older With APOL1-mediated Proteinuric Kidney Disease.

Brief Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VX-147 in participants aged 12 years and older with apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1)-mediated proteinuric kidney disease.

Brief Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VX-147 in participants aged 12 years and older with apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1)-mediated proteinuric kidney disease.

Trial is for people with

Key Inclusion Criteria:
• APOL1 genotype assessed during screening, participants must have of G1/G1, G2/G2, or G1/G2
• Proteinuric(protein in the urine) kidney disease
Key Exclusion Criteria:
• History of diabetes mellitus(type 1 or type 2)
• Uncontrolled hypertension
• Solid organ or bone marrow transplant
• Known underlying cause of kidney disease including but not limited to sickle cell disease
Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.

About the drug or intervention

The AMPLITUDE clinical research study is exploring an investigational study drug called VX-147 to learn more about how well it works as a treatment for people living with APOL1-mediated kidney disease. VX-147 has been tested in other studies with healthy volunteers and other people with a similar type of kidney disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nephrotic Syndrome is not a disease itself, but rather a group of signs and symptoms that result from damage in the part of the kidney that filters blood (glomeruli).

Common symptoms include:

  • Foamy urine (called proteinuria) caused by protein “spilling” into the urine
  • Severe swelling in parts of the body, most noticeably around the eyes, hands, feet, and abdomen (called edema)
  • Weight gain due to a buildup of extra fluid
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Low levels of protein in the blood (hypoalbuminemia)
  • Higher than normal fat and cholesterol levels in the blood (hyperlipidemia)

Nephrotic Syndrome can typically be diagnosed with a urine test.

Nephrotic Syndrome can be “primary” or “secondary” in nature.

Diseases that affect only the kidneys are called primary causes of Nephrotic Syndrome. Doctors often call these diseases “idiopathic,” which means that they arise from an unknown cause. Some of these diseases include:

  • Minimal Change Disease (MCD) – most common in children
  • Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
  • Membranous Nephropathy (MN) – most common in adults
  • IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)

Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome is caused by an underlying, systemic condition like diabetes, lupus, HIV, and others.

Clinical studies are any studies that involve people. There are two main types: observational and interventional. In an observational trial, researchers track health outcomes over time in groups of participants to look for patterns that help us better understand a disease. In an interventional trial, participants receive specific interventions, which can include new treatments or behavorial changes (e.g., diet changes).
