The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD), of ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are 2 through 5 years of age and have a CF Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gating mutation in at least 1 allele.
Part A is designed to evaluate the safety and PK of multiple-dose administration of ivacaftor in participants 2 through 5 years of age and to confirm the doses for Part B. Part B is designed to evaluate the safety, PK, PD, and efficacy of ivacaftor in participants 2 through 5 years of age.

Experimental: Ivacaftor
Part A: Ivacaftor 50 milligram (mg) (for participants weighing less than [<] 14 kilograms [kg]) or 75 mg (for participants weighing greater than or equal to [>=] 14 kg) every 12 hours (q12h) from Day 1 through Day 3 and 1 morning dose on Day 4 during Part A of the study.. Part B: Ivacaftor 50 mg (for participants weighing <14 kg) or 75 mg (for participants weighing >=14 kg) q12h for 24 weeks during Part B of the study. |
Drug: Ivacaftor

- Part A: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Related AEs [ Time Frame: Part A: Up to 93 Days ]
AE: any adverse change from participant's baseline (pre-treatment) condition, including any adverse experience, abnormal recording/clinical laboratory assessment which occurs during course of study, whether it is considered related to study drug or not. SAE: medical event or condition, which falls into any of following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization, persistent/significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event.
Related AEs includes all AEs for which the causality was either related to study drug or possibly related to study drug. Data was reported as per the dose received and for overall participants.
- Part B: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Related AEs [ Time Frame: Part B: Up to 28 Weeks ]
AE: any adverse change from participant's baseline (pre-treatment) condition, including any adverse experience, abnormal recording/clinical laboratory assessment which occurs during course of study, whether it is considered related to study drug or not. AE includes both serious and non-serious AE. SAE: medical event or condition, which falls into any of following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization, persistent/significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event.
Related AEs includes all AEs for which the causality was either related to study drug or possibly related to study drug. Data was reported as per the dose received.
- Part A: Plasma Concentration of Ivacaftor and Its Metabolites [ Time Frame: Part A: up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 4 ]Plasma concentration was reported for ivacaftor and its metabolites (hydroxymethyl ivacaftor [M1] and ivacaftor carboxylate [M6]) up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 4 (Hour 0 [pre-dose] on Day 1 and Day 4; 2, 3, 6, 24 hours post-dose on Day 4). Data was planned to be reported for overall participants in the period.
- Part B: Plasma Concentration of Ivacaftor and Its Metabolites [ Time Frame: Part B: up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 168 ]Plasma concentration was reported for ivacaftor and its metabolites (M1 and M6) up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 168 (Hour 0 [predose] on Day 1, 14, 56, 112, and 168; 2, 3, 6 hours post-dose on Day 14; 1 hour post-dose on Day 56; 4, 6 hours post-dose on Day 112; 24 hours post-dose on Day 168). Data was planned to be reported for overall participants in the period.
- Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Sweat Chloride at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Part B: Baseline, Week 24 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved Macroduct (Wescor, Logan, Utah) collection device. A volume of greater than or equal to (>=) 15 microliter was required for determination of sweat chloride. Data was reported as per the dose received and for overall participants.
- Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Weight at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Part B: Baseline, Week 24 ]Data was reported as per the dose received and for overall participants.
- Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Stature at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Part B: Baseline, Week 24 ]Stature was measured as height if children could stand unassisted and follow directions; otherwise, stature was measured as length. Data was reported as per the dose received and for overall participants.
- Part B: Absolute Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]BMI = (Weight [in kg]) divided by (Stature [in meters])^2. Data was reported as per the dose received and for overall participants.
