- Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period ]The CFQ-R assessed respiratory symptoms on a scale with scores ranging from 0 to 100; where higher scores indicated fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 28 ]
- Relative Change From Study Baseline in ppFEV1 at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Sweat Chloride at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period ]
- Trough Plasma Concentrations (Ctrough) of VX-661, VX-661 Metabolites (M1 VX-661), IVA and IVA Metabolite (M1 IVA) After Administration of VX-661/IVA Combination Therapy [ Time Frame: Pre-morning dose on Week 8 of each treatment period ]
- Ctrough of IVA and IVA Metabolite (M1 IVA) After Administration of IVA Monotherapy [ Time Frame: Pre-morning dose on Week 8 of each treatment period ]
