- Ability to perform a valid, reproducible spirometry with demonstration of FEV1 ≥ 30% and ≤ 90% of predicted for age, gender, and height
- In subjects who are sexually active, willingness to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ a barrier or medical method of contraception during the study drug administration
- Willingness and ability to comply with all study procedures and assessments
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any change (initiation, change in type of drug, dose modification, schedule modification, interruption, discontinuation, or re-initiation) in a chronic treatment/prophylaxis regimen for CF or for CF-related conditions within 2 weeks prior to screening
- Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial
- Evidence of pulmonary exacerbation or acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection (including viral illnesses) within 2 weeks prior to screening
- History of solid organ or hematological transplantation; positive hepatitis B surface antigen test; hepatitis C antibody test; or human immunodecifiency
- Major complication of lung disease (including massive hemoptysis, pneumothorax, or pleural effusion) within 4 weeks prior to screening
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding
- Current smoker or a smoking history of ≥ 10 pack-years (number of cigarette packs/day x number of years smoked)
- Prior or ongoing medical condition (eg, renal failure, alcoholism, drug abuse, psychiatric condition), medical history, physical findings, ECG findings, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the subject, makes it unlikely that the course of treatment or follow-up would be completed, or could impair the assessment of study results
