Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA therapy (F508del/MF).
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures.
- •To prevent pregnancy, female participants of childbearing potential and their male partners will be required to use pre-specified, highly effective methods of non-hormonal contraception. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential will be required to use a condom.

- •Homozygous for F508del
- •Subjects must have an FEV1 ≥40% and ≤90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height at the Screening Visit
- •Stable CF disease as judged by the investigator.
- •Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through the planned end of treatment or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit.
Exclusion Criteria
