- Incidence of Subjects Experiencing Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline Through End of Study [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]Number of subjects experiencing at least one treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
- Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline Through End of Study [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]
Assessment of severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
Severity is graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Modified for CF (CTCAE v4.03). For events not present in this listing the following grading was applied:
Mild: Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated; Moderate: Minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; discomfort sufficient to reduce or interfere with daily activities; Severe: Medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization may be indicated; disabling; limits self-care with significant interference with daily activities; incapacitating with inability to perform self care activities of daily living; Life-threatening: Urgent intervention indicated; immediate risk of death.
- Incidence of Subjects Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Each Dose Cohort From Baseline Through End of Study Visit. [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]DLT's were defined as an allergic reaction, acute bronchospasm or acute AEs of interest requiring (immediate) medical intervention.
- Number of Subjects With Abnormalities Reported Regarding Laboratory Parameters, Vital Signs, ECG, Spirometry, and Physical Findings. [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]Number of subjects experiencing at least one abnormality for the categories laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECG, spirometry and physical findings that were reported as treatment emergent adverse event with a relationship to study drug as either possibly, probably or definitely.
- Maximum Serum Concentration [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]Cmax: QR-010 maximum serum concentrations
- Time to Maximum Serum Concentration [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]Tmax: Time to Cmax of QR-010 serum concentrations.
- Terminal Half-life (T1/2) [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]The terminal elimination half-life will be estimated by non-linear regression analysis of the terminal elimination slope
- Area Under the Curve to Final Sample [AUC(0-last)] [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]Area under the curve to the final sample with a concentration greater than lower limit of quantification (LLQ) will be calculated using the linear trapezoidal method
- Area Under the Curve to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]AUC0-∞: Area under the curve to infinity will be calculated based on the last observed concentration Clast(obs) using formula: AUC0-∞=AUClast+Clast(obs)/λz
- Serum Clearance (CL) [ Time Frame: 8 Days for Single-dose cohorts; 8 weeks for Multiple-dose cohorts ]CL: Serum clearance will be estimated using the formula: CL = Dose/AUC0-∞.
- Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in CFQ-R RSS [ Time Frame: Day 15, Day 33, Day 54 ]Patient Reported Outcome measure Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Symptom Score (CFQ-R RSS). A higher score represents a better outcome. A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in the respiratory domain (CFQ-R RSS) has been established in stable populations as 4.0 points, and a maximum score is 100 points. Mean values reported refer to ''adjusted mean change from baseline'' values.

Patient Reported Outcome measure Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Symptom Score (CFQ-R RSS).
A higher score represents a better outcome. A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in the respiratory domain (CFQ-R RSS) has been established in stable populations as 4.0 points, and a maximum score is 100 points. Mean values reported refer to ''adjusted mean change from baseline'' values.
- Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in CFQ-R RSS (Subgroup ppFEV1 <90% at Baseline) [ Time Frame: Day 15, Day 33, Day 54 ]
Patient Reported Outcome measure Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Symptom Score (CFQ-R RSS).
A higher score represents a better outcome. A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in the respiratory domain (CFQ-R RSS) has been established in stable populations as 4.0 points, and a maximum score is 100 points. Mean values reported refer to ''adjusted mean change from baseline'' values.
