Subjects with stable CF disease as deemed by the investigator at the Screening Visit.
-
Subjects who are willing to remain on their stable CF medication regimen through Day 14 (Part A) or through Week 24 (Part B) or, if applicable, through the Safety Follow up Visit.
-
Subjects who are able to swallow tablets.
-
Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and a negative urine pregnancy test at the Day 1 Visit before receiving the first dose of study drug.
-
Subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active must meet the contraception requirements
- History of any comorbidity reviewed at the Screening Visit that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject.
- Any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at the Screening Visit that would interfere with the study assessments or pose an undue risk for the subject.
- An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy for pulmonary disease within 28 days before Day 1
- Colonization with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status.
- A standard 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at the Screening Visit.
- History of solid organ or hematological transplantation at the Screening Visit.
- Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study or use of commercially available CFTR modulator (except physician-prescribed Kalydeco for approved indications) within 30 days of screening.
- Use of restricted medication or food within a specified duration before the Screening Visit or first dose of study drug and/or unwillingness to maintain the restrictions.
- History or evidence of cataract, lens opacity, Y-suture, or lamellar rings determined to be clinically significant by the ophthalmologist during the ophthalmologic examination at the Screening Visit.
- Pregnant and nursing females.

Group Intervention Description Part A TEZ Participants weighing \<25 kg received TEZ 50 mg once daily/IVA 75 mg q12h orally for 14 days. Participants weighing ≥25 kg received TEZ 50 mg once daily/IVA 150 mg q12h orally for 14 days. Part B IVA Participants weighing \<40 kg received TEZ 50 mg/IVA 75 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 75 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks. Participants weighing ≥40 kg received TEZ 100 mg/IVA 150 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 150 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks. Part A IVA Participants weighing \<25 kg received TEZ 50 mg once daily/IVA 75 mg q12h orally for 14 days. Participants weighing ≥25 kg received TEZ 50 mg once daily/IVA 150 mg q12h orally for 14 days. Part B TEZ/IVA Participants weighing \<40 kg received TEZ 50 mg/IVA 75 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 75 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks. Participants weighing ≥40 kg received TEZ 100 mg/IVA 150 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 150 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part A: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve During Dosing Interval (AUCtau) of TEZ and IVA Day 1 and Day 14 Part A: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of TEZ and IVA Day 1 and Day 14 Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Day 1 up to Week 28
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part A: Cmax of TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ) and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) Day 1 and Day 14 Part A: AUCtau of TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ) and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) Day 1 and Day 14 Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride From Baseline through Week 24 Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Part B: Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score From Baseline through Week 24 The CFQ-R is a validated participant-reported outcome measuring health-related quality of life for participants with cystic fibrosis. Respiratory domain assessed respiratory symptoms, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.
Part B: Cmax of TEZ, TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ), IVA, and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) Week 16 Part A: Number of Participants With AEs and SAEs Day 1 up to Day 28 Part B: Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) From Baseline through Week 24 FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Part B: Relative Change in ppFEV1 From Baseline through Week 24 FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Part B: Absolute Change in Weight-for-age Z-Score From Baseline at Week 24 z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Weight, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as weight-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher weight.
Part B: Absolute Change in Height From Baseline at Week 24 Part B: Absolute Change in Height-for-age z-Score From Baseline at Week 24 z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Height, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as height-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher height.
Part B: AUCtau of TEZ, TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ), IVA, and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA ) Week 16 Part B: Absolute Change in Weight From Baseline at Week 24 Part B: Absolute Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) From Baseline at Week 24 BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in square meter (m\^2).
Part B: Absolute Change in BMI-for-age z-Score From Baseline at Week 24 BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in m\^2. z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. BMI, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as BMI-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher BMI.
