32 cystic fibrosis patients with the G551D mutation will be treated for 4 weeks, consisting of three consecutive treatment periods: two 1-week periods followed by one 2-week period, evaluating one dose of GLPG1837 each. After the treatment period, there is a 7-10 days follow-up period. During the course of the study, subjects will be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability). Changes in sweat chloride will be assessed as biomarker from baseline onwards, and changes in pulmonary function (efficacy) will be explored throughout the study. The amount of GLPG1837 present in the blood (pharmacokinetics) will also be determined.

Changes in sweat chloride concentration
To evaluate the effect of GLPG1837 in terms of change in sweat chloride concentration, a biomarker to measure cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel function at every visit
Time frame: Up to 9 weeks
Changes in pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FEV1) assessed by spirometry
To explore the effect of GLPG1837 in terms of change in pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FEV1) assessed by spirometry at every visit

Time frame: Up to 3 weeks
Plasma levels of GLPG1837: AUC, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GLPG1837 by measuring the amount in plasma between Day 8 and Day 29 at every visit; On Day 29, an 8-hour profile will determine the AUC, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve
Time frame: Up to 3 weeks
