Brief summary

This study evaluated the long-term safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of elexacaftor (ELX, VX-445) in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a gating or residual function mutation (F/G and F/RF genotypes).

Part A: Absolute Change From Parent Study Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain ScoreFrom Baseline at Week 96The 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.
Part A: Absolute Change From Parent Study Baseline in BMI Z-scoreFrom Baseline at Week 96BMI was defined as weight in kilogram (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.
