Participant flow

Recruitment details

This study was conducted in cystic fibrosis (CF) participants aged 12 years or older. It was pre-specified in the protocol to combine the data from this study with study VX20-121-103 (NCT05076149) for selected outcome measures.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 435 participants were enrolled in this study, of which 37 were included in the run-in period but were not dosed in treatment period. Therefore, results are presented for only 398 participants dosed in the treatment period.

Outcome results

Primary

Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)

FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Time frame: From Baseline Through Week 24

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all randomized participants who carried the intended CFTR mutation(s) and received at least 1 dose of study drug during Treatment Period. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.
