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) will include all randomized participants who carry the intended mutation and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluated for this outcome measure.
