A study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ivacaftor in children less than 24 months of age with cystic fibrosis (a rare hereditary disease that affects the lungs, digestive system and other organs).

A Phase 3, 2-Part, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Ivacaftor in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Who Are Less Than 24 Months of Age at Treatment Initiation and Have an Ivacaftor-responsive CFTR Mutation

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female with confirmed diagnosis of CF, defined as a sweat chloride value =60 mmol/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis OR 2 CF causing mutations. • A sweat chloride test must be performed if the sweat chloride value is not available in the subject’s medical records and the value is needed to establish eligibility. For subjects with sweat chloride values documented in their medical records and for whom it is not needed to establish eligibility, the sweat chloride test at screening is optional. 2. Have 1 of the following 9 CFTR mutations on at least 1 allele: G551D, G178R, S549N, S549R, G551S, G1244E, S1251N, S1255P, or G1349D. Subjects who have an R117H-CFTR mutation will be eligible in regions where ivacaftor is approved for use in subjects with an R117H-CFTR mutation. Subjects eligible for Part A/B Cohort 8 may also have other ivacaftor-responsive mutations. • If a genotype test has been performed previously and is documented in the subject’s medical record, the subject's eligibility must be approved by the Vertex medical monitor. If a historic genotype result is not available at screening or if the historic genotype result is not approved by the Vertex medical monitor, the subject will be tested for CFTR genotype at screening and the results must be reviewed before the first dose of ivacaftor. Subjects who have been enrolled and whose screening genotype does not confirm study eligibility will not receive study drug. • Subjects who have an ivacaftor-responsive mutation on at least 1 allele will be eligible to enroll in Part A/B Cohort 8 in regions where ivacaftor is approved (consistent with the approved mutations in the region). o Subjects must be =1 to =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of any illness or condition 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. 2. An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, or pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy (including antibiotics) for pulmonary disease within 4 weeks before Day 1 3. This exclusion criterion is waived for subjects enrolling in Part A/B Cohort 8. Colonization with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status (e.g., Burkholderia cenocepacia, Burkholderia dolosa, and Mycobacterium abscessus) at screening. The investigator could be guided by the following suggested criteria for a subject to be considered free of colonization: • The subject should have had 2 respiratory tract cultures negative for these organisms within the past 12 months, with no subsequent positive cultures. • These 2 respiratory tract cultures should have been separated by at least 3 months. • One of these 2 respiratory tract cultures should have been obtained within the past 6 months. 4. Abnormal liver function at screening or any prior history of clinically relevant elevated (>2 × upper limit of normal [ULN]) serum aspartate transaminase (AST), serum alanine transaminase (ALT), or bilirubin (excluding newborn hyperbilirubinemia) 5. History of solid organ or hematological transplantation 6. Any clinically significant "non-CF-related" illness within 2 weeks before Day 1. "Illness" is defined as an acute (serious or nonserious) condition (e.g., gastroenteritis) 7. Use of any moderate or strong inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A within 2 weeks before Day 1 8. Participation in a clinical study involving administration of either an investigational or a marketed drug within 30 days or 5 terminal half-lives (whichever is longer or as determined by the local requirements) before screening 9. Hemoglobin <9.5 g/dL at screening 10. Chronic kidney disease of Stage 3 or above 11. An adequate slit-lamp examination could not be conducted at the screening OE 12. Presence of a lens opacity or cataract identified at the screening OE (excluding those considered congenital and nonprogressive, such as a suture cataract)
