- Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 43 for Part 1 and Day 71 for Part 2) ]
- Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Day 15 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Absolute Change in ppFEV1 Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B [ 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.
- Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Day 15 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride Concentrations Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Day 29 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Relative Change in ppFEV1 at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Day 15 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Relative Change in ppFEV1 Through Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B [ 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.
- Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score at Day 15 for Part 1 and Part 2 Cohort 2A [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Day 15 ]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.
- Absolute Change From Baseline in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain Score at Day 29 for Part 2 Cohort 2B [ 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.
- Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-152, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA, and M1-IVA [ Time Frame: Pre-dose at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 29 ]
