Study start date: January 1, 2013

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD), of ivacaftor in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are 2 through 5 years of age and have a CF Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gating mutation in at least 1 allele. Part A is designed to evaluate the safety and PK of multiple-dose administration of ivacaftor in participants 2 through 5 years of age and to confirm the doses for Part B. Part B is designed to evaluate the safety, PK, PD, and efficacy of ivacaftor in participants 2 through 5 years of age.
