Measure
Part 1 Sequence 1: Ivacaftor First, Then Placebo
Ivacaftor administered every 12 hours for 8 weeks in treatment period 1 followed by placebo matched to Ivacaftor administered every 12 hours for 8 weeks in treatment period 2. Washout period of 8 weeks occurred between treatment period 1 and treatment period 2. For ivacaftor, the dose was either 50 milligram (mg) or 75 mg, as determined by the participant's body weight on Day 1.
Part 1 Sequence 2: Placebo First, Then Ivacaftor
Placebo matched to Ivacaftor administered every 12 hours for 8 weeks in treatment period 1 followed by Ivacaftor administered every 12 hours for 8 weeks in treatment period 2. Washout period of 8 weeks occurred between treatment period 1 and treatment period 2. For ivacaftor, the dose was either 50 mg or 75 mg, as determined by the participant's body weight on Day 1.
Part 2: Ivacaftor
Ivacaftor 50 mg, 75 mg or 150 mg, as determined by the participant's body weight at the beginning of Part 2, administered every 12 hours for up to 32 weeks in open label period.
