Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA therapy (F508del/MF).

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of Study Drug in the Treatment Period through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 57 for Part 1 and Day 85 for Part 2) ]
  2. 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.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Day 29 ]
    Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.

  2. Relative Change in 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-440, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA and M1-IVA [ Time Frame: Predose at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 29 ]

  • Subjects must have an FEV1 ≥40% and ≤90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height at the Screening Visit
  • Stable CF disease as judged by the investigator.
  • Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through the planned end of treatment or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of any comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject.
  • History of cirrhosis with portal hypertension.

  • Lung infection with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status
  • An acute illness not related to CF within 14 days before the first dose of study drug
  • A standard digital ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening.
  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation.
  • History or evidence of cataract or lens opacity determined to be clinically significant by the ophthalmologist or optometrist based on the ophthalmologic examination during the Screening Period.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse in the past year, including but not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, and opiates, as deemed by the investigator.
  • Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study, with certain exceptions. (e.g., ongoing participation in NCT02565914)
  • Use of commercially available CFTR modulator (e.g., Kalydeco, Orkambi) within 14 days before screening (applies only to the Heterozygous F508del/MF cohorts; does not apply to the Homozygous F508del/F508del Cohort).
  • Pregnant or nursing females: Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and Day 1.
