Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Subject will sign and date an informed consent form (ICF). 2. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures. 3. Subjects will be aged 18 years or older on the date of informed consent. 4. Body weight =35 kg. 5. Subjects must be able to produce a valid (quantity-sufficient) sweat sample at screening. If the initial screening collection results in insufficient sweat volume, then the sweat chloride collection may be repeated once, after approval by the medical monitor. -Parts 1 and 3: Subjects must have a sweat chloride value =60 mmol/L at screening or documented in the form of a laboratory report in the subject’s medical record. If the sweat chloride value cannot be determined from the screening test for a reason other than insufficient sweat volume (i.e., because of laboratory error, damaged specimen, or equipment malfunction), it is acceptable to use a sweat chloride value that was obtained before previous treatment with IVA, LUM/IVA, or an investigational CFTR modulator. -Part 2: For subjects with a sweat chloride value =60 mmol/L at screening or documented in the form of a laboratory report in the subject’s medical record, medical monitor approval is not required. For subjects with a sweat chloride value =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of any comorbidity 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. History of clinically significant cirrhosis with or without portal hypertension. 3. Risk factors for Torsade de Pointes, including but not limited to, history of any of the following: familial long QT syndrome, chronic hypokalemia, heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, chronic bradycardia, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, history of arrhythmia (ventricular or atrial fibrillation), obesity, acute neurologic events (subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebrovascular accident, or intracranial trauma), or autonomic neuropathy. 4. Current or past history of peptic ulcer disease. 5. History of hemolysis. 6. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, defined as G6PD activity less than the lower limit of normal (LLN) or 70% of the mean of the LLN and the upper limit of normal (ULN), whichever is greater. 7. Any of the following abnormal laboratory values at screening: -Hemoglobin 450 msec at screening. If QTc exceeds 450 msec for the screening ECG, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times during the Screening Period, and the subject will be excluded if the average of the 3 QTc values is >450 msec. Study sites should use QTcF unless they receive approval in advance from the medical monitor to use QTcB 12. History of solid organ or hematological transplantation. 13. History of alcohol or drug of abuse in the past year, including but not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, and opiates, as deemed by the investigator. 14. Ongoing or prior participation in a study of an investigational treatment other than a CFTR modulator within 28 days or 5 terminal half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening. The duration of the elapsed time may be longer if required by local regulations. 15. Use of prohibited medications as defined in Table 9-3, within the specified window before the first dose of study drug. 16. Pregnant or nursing females. Females of childbearing potential must have a negativ
