Drug: TEZ/IVA
Drug: TEZ
Registration Number
NCT03227471

Brief Summary

This is a first-in-human and proof-of-concept study of VX-445. The study includes 6 parts. Parts A, B, and C were conducted in healthy subjects. Parts D, E, and F were conducted in subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F/F genotype), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ, IVA, or TEZ/IVA (F/MF genotypes).
