Experimental: Part A: ELX/TEZ/IVA

Experimental: Part B: ELX/TEZ/IVA
Participants weighing (>=)14 kg at screening received ELX 100 mg qd/TEZ 50 mg qd/IVA 75 mg q12h. Participants weighing (>=)10 kg to less than (<)14 kg received ELX 80 mg qd/TEZ 40 mg qd/IVA 60 mg once every morning (qAM) and 59.5 mg once every evening (qPM) in the treatment period for 24 weeks.

- Part A: Observed Pre-dose Concentration (Ctrough) of ELX,TEZ,IVA, and Relevant Metabolites [ Time Frame: From Day 1 through Day 15 ]
- Part A: Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment- Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 43 ]
- Part B: Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Week 28 ]
- Part B: Observed Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of ELX,TEZ,IVA and Relevant Metabolites [ Time Frame: From Day 1 through Week 16 ]
- Part B: Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride (SwCl) [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
- Part B: Absolute Change in Lung Clearance Index 2.5 (LCI 2.5) [ Time Frame: From Baseline through Week 24 ]The LCI2.5 index is the number of lung turnovers required to reduce the end tidal inert gas concentration to 1/40th of its starting values and is calculated by dividing the sum of exhaled tidal breaths (cumulative exhaled volume (CEV)) by simultaneously measured functional residual capacity (FRC). An LCI of 7.5 and below is normal; values greater than 7.5 are abnormal. LCI is able to detect abnormalities in lung function earlier than more traditional modalities such as spirometry.
