- Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) for ELX/TEZ/IVA Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl) for ELX/TEZ/IVA Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Absolute Change in ppFEV1 for the ELX/TEZ/IVA Group Compared to the Control Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.
- Absolute Change in SwCl for ELX/TEZ/IVA Group Compared to the Control Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score for ELX/TEZ/IVA Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]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 in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain Score for ELX/TEZ/IVA Group Compared to the Control Group [ Time Frame: From Baseline Through Week 8 ]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.
- Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 12 ]
