What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)
Time Frame: From Baseline Through Day 29
FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
From Baseline Through Day 29
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)
From Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up (up to Day 75 for Part 1 and up to Day 85 for Part 2)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score
Time Frame: From 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.
From Baseline at Day 29
Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl) Concentrations
Time Frame: From Baseline Through Day 29
Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
From Baseline Through 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
Pre-dose at Day 15 and Day 29
