SaO2 ≥ 90% at Screening while breathing room air.
Ability to comply with study medication use, study visits, and study procedures as judged by the investigator.
Ability to produce 0.5 grams sputum or be willing to undergo an induction to produce sputum for clinical evaluation.
Clinically stable with no evidence of acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection or history of pulmonary exacerbation within the 4 weeks prior to Screening.

History of mycobacterial and/or Aspergillus infection requiring treatment within 2 years prior to Screening, and/or history of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA).
History of biliary cirrhosis with portal hypertension, or splenomegaly (refer to study manual).
GGT, AST, or ALT ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal at Screening visit.
ANC ≤ 1000 performed at Screening visit.
Serum creatinine > 1.5 times normal performed at Screening visit.
History of daily, continuous oxygen supplementation or requirement for more than 2 L/min at night.
Change in chest x-ray at Screening (or within the 3 months prior to Screening) with new onset infiltrates or that which compromise the safety of the study patient or the quality of the study data.

Main criteria for exclusion of patients participating in the 18 months extension period:

Patient meets any criteria for exclusion as listed above in the main protocol.
Patient who met any criteria for study drug discontinuation in the main protocol (TR02-105).
