- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: First administration (Day 1) through Follow-up (Day 43) ]Number of participants with any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious or treatment-related TEAEs, as well as number of patients with TEAEs by worst intensity reported (mild, moderate, or severe).
- Mean Change From Baseline in Sweat Chloride Concentration at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Prior to dosing on Days 1 and 29, or at early discontinuation ]Two sweat collections, one from each arm, were obtained. Mean sweat chloride concentration was determined from both arms and measured as millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Baseline was defined as the predose value on Day 1 (or the last non-missing predose measurement).
- Mean Change From Baseline in Percent (%) Predicted FEV1 (%FEV1) at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Predose and between 1 and 2 hours postdose on Days 1 and 29, or at early discontinuation ]Percent predicted FEV1 for age, gender, and height was determined from standardized spirometry assessments and estimated using the 2012 Global Lungs Initiative equation. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing predose assessment on Day 1.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Respiratory Domain of the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Prior to dosing on Days 1 and 29, or at early discontinuation ]The CFQ-R is a validated participant-reported outcome measuring health-related quality of life for participants with cystic fibrosis. The respiratory domain assessed respiratory symptoms (for example, coughing, congestion, wheezing), derived from Questions 40, 41, 42, 45, and 46 if at least 50% of the questions had non-missing data. The scale score ranged from 0-100; higher scores indicated fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life with a negative change indicating a worsening of symptoms. A change of 4 is considered clinically relevant.
- Mean Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax; Nanograms Per Milliliter [mg/mL]) of GLPG2222 [ Time Frame: Day 15 (predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose) and prior to dosing on Day 29 ]Maximum concentration of GLPG2222 after multiple dosing (ng/ML), obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data. All pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined from Day 15; Day 29 data were determined if the participant was not available for full PK profiling on Day 15.
- Mean GLPG2222 Plasma Concentration Observed at Predose (Ctrough; ng/mL) [ Time Frame: Days 15 and 29 (predose) ]Plasma concentration of GLPG2222 observed at pre-dose (ng/mL), obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data. Ctrough was calculated using both Day 15 and Day 29 PK data.
- Median Time to Occurrence of GLPG2222 Cmax (Tmax; Hours [h]) [ Time Frame: Day 15 (predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose) and prior to dosing on Day 29 ]Time of occurrence of maximum concentration of GLPG2222 after multiple dosing (h), obtained directly from the observed concentration versus time data. All PK parameters were determined from Day 15; Day 29 data were determined if the participant was not available for full PK profiling on Day 15.
- Mean Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 up to 24 Hours Following Multiple Dosing (AUC[0-t]; ng.h/mL) of GLPG2222 [ Time Frame: Day 15 (predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose) and prior to dosing on Day 29 ]Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 up to 24 hours following multiple dosing (ng.h/mL), calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation. All PK parameters were determined from Day 15; Day 29 data were determined if the participant was not available for full PK profiling on Day 15.
