• 3. Have a 12-lead ECG recording at screening (Visit 1) and Visit 2 pre-dose showing the following:
• • Heart rate between 45 and 90 beats per minute
• • QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) interval ≤450 msec
• • QRS interval ≤120 msec
• • PR interval ≤220 msec

• • 8. Capable of withdrawing from long acting bronchodilators1 until the end of the treatment period, and short acting bronchodilators for 8 hours prior to administration of study treatment.
• • 9. Clinically stable CF in the 2 weeks prior to randomisation (Visit 2).
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. History of cirrhotic liver disease or portal hypertension.
• • 2. CF exacerbation requiring hospitalisation in the month prior to screening (Visit 1) or prior to randomisation (Visit 2).
• • 3. Use of oral or intravenous antibiotics (in additional to usual maintenance therapy) in the 2 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1) or randomisation (Visit 2).
• • 4. Other non-CF related respiratory disorders: Patients with a current diagnosis of active tuberculosis, lung cancer, sarcoidosis, sleep apnoea, known alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency or other active pulmonary diseases.

• • 12. Use of immune-suppression; long term use of prednisolone ≥10 mg/day.
• • 13. History of malignancy of any organ system within 5 years with the exception of localised skin cancers (basal or squamous cell).
• • 14. Clinically significant abnormal values for safety laboratory tests (haematology, biochemistry or urinalysis) at screening (Visit 1), as determined by the Investigator.
• • 15. A disclosed history or one known to the Investigator, of significant non-compliance in previous investigational studies or with prescribed medications.
