    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period]

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

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain Score at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period]

      The CFQ-R assessed respiratory symptoms on a scale with scores ranging from 0 to 100; where higher scores indicated fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.

    2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Day 1 up to Week 28]

    3. Relative Change From Study Baseline in ppFEV1 at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period]

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

    4. Absolute Change From Study Baseline in Sweat Chloride at Average of Week 4 and Week 8 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8 of each treatment period]

    5. Trough Plasma Concentrations (Ctrough) of VX-661, VX-661 Metabolites (M1 VX-661), IVA and IVA Metabolite (M1 IVA) After Administration of VX-661/IVA Combination Therapy [Pre-morning dose on Week 8 of each treatment period]

    6. Ctrough of IVA and IVA Metabolite (M1 IVA) After Administration of IVA Monotherapy [Pre-morning dose on Week 8 of each treatment period]
