Can healthy volunteers participate?

Key exclusion criteria
- History of any comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound

subject.

- History of cirrhosis with portal hypertension.

- Risk factors for Torsade de Pointes

- History of hemolysis.

- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency assessed at Screening.

- Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at screening

- An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in
therapy for pulmonary disease within 28 days before the first dose of study drug.

- Lung infection with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status

- An acute illness not related to CF within 14 days before the first dose of study drug

- A standard digital ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening.

significant by the ophthalmologist or optometrist based on the ophthalmologic
examination during the Screening Period.

cannabis, cocaine, and opiates, as deemed by the investigator.

- Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study, with certain
exceptions. (e.g., ongoing participation in NCT02565914)

Summary
Brief summary
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group,
multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and
triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with
cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del
mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA
therapy (F508del/MF).
