Drug: VX-770 placebo
Tablet, taken every 12 hours (q12h)

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 3-part study of VX 661 monotherapy, VX 770 monotherapy, and VX 661/VX 770 cotherapy in subjects with CF homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation.

This study will be separated into three parts: Part A, Part B, or Part C. Subjects may only participate in one part of the study. Part A will enroll 120 subjects. Part B will enroll 80 subjects. Part C will enroll 4-8 subjects.

Initiation of Parts B and C will depend on results from PK, PD, and safety data from Part A.
