Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in COPD as Measured by the Sweat Analysis in Each Group

    sweat analysis is measured by performing a sweat test in each participant. The primary analysis will compare the within group change in sweat chloride before (day 1) and after (day 14) ivacaftor or placebo administration and will be used to test the null hypothesis of no change in sweat chloride using a paired t-test unless the distributions are notably skewed, in which case the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be implemented due to small sample size.

    baseline to 2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in COPD as Measured by Nasal Potential Difference

    baseline to 2 weeks

  • Number of Adverse Events Experienced by the Ivacaftor Subjects and Placebo Subjects.

    baseline to 2 weeks

  • Change in COPD as Measured by Change in Percentage of FEV1 as Measured in Each Group

    baseline to 2 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Pharmacokinetics as Described by AUC12 of Subjects Receiving Ivacaftor

    baseline to 2 weeks
