    3. Part A: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24h) of ELX, TEZ, and IVA [Part A: Day 15]

    4. Part B: Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Part B: Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up Visit (up to Week 28)]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Part A: Cmax of ELX Metabolite (M23-ELX), TEZ Metabolite (M1-TEZ), and IVA Metabolite (M1-IVA) [Part A: Day 15]

    2. Part A: Ctrough of ELX Metabolite (M23-ELX), TEZ Metabolite (M1-TEZ), and IVA Metabolite (M1-IVA) [Part A: Day 15]

    3. Part A: AUC0-24h of ELX Metabolite (M23-ELX) and TEZ Metabolite (M1-TEZ) [Part A: Day 15]

    4. Part A: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 6 Hours (AUC0-6h) of IVA Metabolite (M1-IVA) [Part A: Day 15]

      The AUC data was analyzed for up to 6 hours for IVA metabolite (M1-IVA). Therefore, AUC0-6h is reported for M1-IVA metabolite.

    5. Part A: Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With TEAEs and SAEs [Part A: Day 1 Through Safety Follow-up Visit (up to Day 43)]

    6. Part B: Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) [Part B: From Baseline Through Week 24]

      FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

    7. Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl) [Part B: From Baseline Through Week 24]

      Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.

    8. Part B: Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score [Part B: 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.

    9. Part B: Absolute Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

      BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by squared height in meters (m^2).

    10. Part B: Absolute Change in BMI For-Age Z-Score [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

      BMI was defined as weight in kg divided by squared height in meters (m^2). The z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a value was above or below the standard. A z-score of 0 is equal to the standard. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the standard and higher numbers indicate values higher than the standard.

    11. Part B: Absolute Change in Weight [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

    12. Part B: Absolute Change in Weight-for-age Z-Score [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

      The z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a value was above or below the standard. A z-score of 0 is equal to the standard. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the standard and higher numbers indicate values higher than the standard.

    13. Part B: Absolute Change in Height [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

    14. Part B: Absolute Change in Height-for-Age Z-Score [Part B: From Baseline at Week 24]

      The z-score is a statistical measure to describe whether a value was above or below the standard. A z-score of 0 is equal to the standard. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the standard and higher numbers indicate values higher than the standard.

    15. Part B: Drug Acceptability Assessment Using Modified Facial Hedonic Scale [Part B: At Week 24]

      The study drug acceptability (participant reaction) was assessed by a visual analog scale that incorporates a 5 point facial hedonic scale (Liked it Very Much, Liked it a Little, Not sure, Disliked it a Little, Disliked it Very Much). Number of participants with the indicated categorical response in the drug acceptability assessment were reported.

    16. Part B: Number of Pulmonary Exacerbations Events [Part B: From Baseline Through Week 24]

      Pulmonary exacerbation was defined as new or changed treatment with oral, inhaled, or intravenous antibiotics and fulfillment of pre-specified protocol defined criteria. The total number of pulmonary exacerbations events across all participants were reported.

    17. Part B: Number of CF Related Hospitalizations [Part B: From Baseline Through Week 24]

      The total number of CF related hospitalization events across all participants were reported.

    18. Part B: Ctrough of ELX, ELX Metabolite (M23-ELX), TEZ, TEZ Metabolite (M1-TEZ), IVA and IVA Metabolite (M1-IVA) [Part B: At Week 4]
