Title: A Phase 3 Efficacy and Safety Study of PTC124 as an Oral Treatment for Nonsense-Mutation-Mediated Cystic Fibrosis
Brief Summary: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that makes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. A specific type of mutation called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of CF in approximately 10% of patients with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 3 trial that will evaluate the clinical benefit of ataluren in adult and pediatric participants with CF due to a nonsense mutation. The main goals of the study are to understand whether ataluren can improve pulmonary function and whether the drug can safely be given for a long period of time. The study will also assess the effects of ataluren on CF pulmonary exacerbation frequency, cough frequency, health-related quality of life, antibiotic use for CF-related infections, CF-related disruptions to daily living, body weight, and CF pathophysiology.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* History of clinically significant cirrhosis with or without portal hypertension.
* Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy male and female subjects as defined in the protocol

* Abnormal renal function as defined in the protocol at Screening
* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \<80% predicted at the Screening Visit
* Blood donation (of approximately 1 pint \[500 mL\] or more) within 56 days before the first dose of study drug
* Treatment with an investigational drug or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study drug
