Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and tezacaftor/ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA)-controlled, parallel-group, 3-part, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VX-659 in triple combination (TC) with TEZ and IVA 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).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up (up to Day 61 for Part 1, Day 85 for Part 2 and Day 57 for Part 3)
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)From Baseline Through Day 29

FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride ConcentrationsFrom Baseline Through Day 29

Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.

Relative Change in ppFEV1From Baseline Through Day 29

FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain ScoreFrom Baseline at Day 29

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.

Observed Pre-dose Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-659, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA, M1-IVA, and VX-561Pre-dose at Day 15 and Day 29
