Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in 2-hour Blood Glucose Levels Following an OGTT to the Average of Week 36 and Week 48

Baseline 2-hour post-OGTT blood glucose level was defined as the average of valid pre-dose measurements at screening and Day 1. OGTT results were considered valid only when the participant was fasting for at least 8 hours.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 36 and 48

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) will include all enrolled participants who carry the intended CFTR allele mutation and have received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome.

Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Dysglycemia Categorization at Week 48

Baseline dysglycemia category was defined as the most recent non-missing measurement before the first dose of study drug in the treatment period. Improvement in dysglycemia is a change from cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) at baseline to impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)/normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at Week 48 OR change from IGT at baseline to NGT at Week 48. CFRD: 2-hour post-OGTT blood glucose level ≥200 mg/dL or fasting blood glucose level ≥126 mg/dL; IGT: 2-hour post-OGTT blood glucose level ≥140 to \<200 mg/dL and fasting blood glucose level \<126 mg/dL; NGT: 2 hour post-OGTT blood glucose level \<140 mg/dL and fasting blood glucose level \<126 mg/dL.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 48

Population: FAS. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies the number participants with non-missing dysglycemia categorization at Week 48 among participants with abnormal glucose tolerance at baseline.
