Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time frame: From Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up (up to Day 75 for Part 1 and up to Day 85 for Part 2)
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
Time frame: From Baseline Through Day 29
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl) Concentrations
Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
Time frame: From Baseline Through Day 29
Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score
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.
Time frame: From Baseline at Day 29
Observed Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-121, TEZ and Its Metabolite (M1-TEZ) and, VX-561 and Its Metabolites (M1-VX-561 and M6-VX-561)
Time frame: Pre-dose at Day 15 and Day 29
Three parts were planned for this study, only Parts 1 (participants heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function mutation \[F/MF genotypes\]) and 2 (participants homozygous for F508del \[F/F genotypes\]) were conducted. Part 3 was optional and not conducted at sponsor's discretion.
