Experimental: Part B
Participants weighing <40 kg received TEZ 50 mg/IVA 75 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 75 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks. Participants weighing ≥40 kg received TEZ 100 mg/IVA 150 mg as fixed dose combination orally once daily in the morning and IVA 150 mg orally once daily in the evening for 24 weeks. |
Drug: TEZ/IVA

Drug: IVA Other Names:

- Part A: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of TEZ and IVA [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 14 ]
- Part A: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve During Dosing Interval (AUCtau) of TEZ and IVA [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 14 ]
- Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 28 ]
- Part A: Cmax of TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ) and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 14 ]
- Part A: AUCtau of TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ) and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 14 ]
- Part A: Number of Participants With AEs and SAEs [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Day 28 ]
- Part B: Cmax of TEZ, TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ), IVA, and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]
- Part B: AUCtau of TEZ, TEZ Metabolites (M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ), IVA, and IVA Metabolites (M1-IVA, M6-IVA ) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]
- Part B: Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Part B: Relative Change in ppFEV1 [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Weight [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]
- Part B: Absolute Change in Weight-for-age Z-Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Weight, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as weight-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher weight.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Height [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]
- Part B: Absolute Change in Height-for-age z-Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. Height, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as height-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher height.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in square meter (m^2).
- Part B: Absolute Change in BMI-for-age z-Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline at Week 24 ]BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by height in m^2. z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a mean was above or below the standard. BMI, adjusted for age and sex, was analyzed as BMI-for-age z-score. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values are indicative of higher BMI.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 4 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]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.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 6 Years to 11 Years (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who weigh ≥15 kg without shoes at the Screening Visit.
- All genotypes as specified by the study protocol are eligible in Part A.
-
The following genotypes are eligible in Part B:
- homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation
- heterozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation and with a second allele with a CFTR mutation predicted to have residual function.
- heterozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation and with a second CFTR allele with a gating defect that is clinically demonstrated to be ivacaftor responsive
- Subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of CF defined as a sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L or chronic sinopulmonary and/or gastrointestinal disease consistent with a diagnosis of CF. Subjects who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation must have a sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L.

- Subjects who are able to swallow tablets.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and a negative urine pregnancy test at the Day 1 Visit before receiving the first dose of study drug.
- Subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active must meet the contraception requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of any comorbidity reviewed at the Screening Visit 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.
- Any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at the Screening Visit that would interfere with the study assessments or pose an undue risk for the subject.
- An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy for pulmonary disease within 28 days before Day 1
- Colonization with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status.
- A standard 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at the Screening Visit.
- History of solid organ or hematological transplantation at the Screening Visit.
- Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study or use of commercially available CFTR modulator (except physician-prescribed Kalydeco for approved indications) within 30 days of screening.
- Use of restricted medication or food within a specified duration before the Screening Visit or first dose of study drug and/or unwillingness to maintain the restrictions.
- History or evidence of cataract, lens opacity, Y-suture, or lamellar rings determined to be clinically significant by the ophthalmologist during the ophthalmologic examination at the Screening Visit.
- Pregnant and nursing females.
