Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Reduction From Baseline in Cough Frequency (Cough Events Per Day) to the Average of Week 8 Through Week 12Baseline, Week 8 through Week 12Percent reduction in cough frequency was analyzed with a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM), with change from baseline at each post-baseline visit on the natural log scale as the dependent variable. The percent reduction was estimated as 100% × (1-exponential form of LS mean change estimate from the MMRM).

Primary

Percent Reduction From Baseline in Cough Frequency (Cough Events Per Day) to the Average of Week 8 Through Week 12

Percent reduction in cough frequency was analyzed with a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM), with change from baseline at each post-baseline visit on the natural log scale as the dependent variable. The percent reduction was estimated as 100% × (1-exponential form of LS mean change estimate from the MMRM).

Time frame: Baseline, Week 8 through Week 12

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.
