Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Inclusion criteria at screening visit (Visit 1):

- Aged 18 years and older

- Male or female

- Women of childbearing potential must:

- have a negative serum pregnancy test at Visit 1

- agree to use from Visit 1 until 3 months after the last study drug intake a
reliable method of contraception

- Male patients accepting for the duration of the study and for 3 months thereafter to
use a condom

- Homozygous for the F508del mutation as confirmed by genetic testing

- Sweat chloride ≥ 60 mmol/L

- Basal nasal potential difference (NPD) ≤ -30.0 mV (equal to or more electrically
negative than -30.0 mV) and total chloride secretion (TCS) ≥ - 5.0 mV for at least one
nostril. However, if it is possible to analyze both nostrils, the total chloride
secretion (TCS) is to be ≥ - 5.0 mV (equal to or more electrically positive than - 5.0
mV) in both nostrils.

- FEV1 ≥ 25% of predicted

- Able to comply with all protocol requirements

- Signed informed consent prior to any study-mandated procedure

Inclusion criteria at randomization visit (Visit 2):

- Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test

- Basal nasal potential difference (NPD) ≤ - 30.0 mV (equal to or more electrically
negative than - 30.0 mV) and total chloride secretion (TCS) ≥ - 5.0 mV for at least
one nostril. However, if it is possible to analyze both nostrils, the total chloride
secretion (TCS) is to be ≥ - 5.0 mV (equal to or more electrically positive than - 5.0
mV) in both nostrils.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any condition prohibiting the correct measurement of the NPD such as upper respiratory
tract infection

- Acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotic intervention
within 2 weeks of screening

- Lung transplant recipient or patient on a lung transplant waiting list

- Any modification in regular treatments (new treatment initiated or discontinued
treatment) or modification in dosing within 2 weeks prior to start of Period 1

- Moderate/Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 70 mL/min as per Cockroft and
Gault)

- Systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 14 days prior
to screening and up to start of study

- Women who are breast-feeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant during the
course of the study

- History of significant lactose intolerance

- Presence of clinically significant diarrhoea (> 3 liquid stools per day for > 7 days)
without definable cause within one month prior to screening

- Any known factor or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, study
conduct or interpretation of the results such as drug or alcohol dependence or
psychiatric disease

- Active or passive smoking

- Hypersensitivity to Miglustat or any excipients

- Planned treatment or treatment with another investigational drug or therapy (e.g.,
gene therapy) within one month prior to randomization

- Known concomitant life-threatening disease with a life expectancy < 12 months

- Indication against Isuprel® (Isoproterenol) including heart diseases.
