Cases of liver failure leading to transplantation and death have been reported in patients with and without a history of liver disease taking TRIKAFTA, in both clinical trials and the postmarketing setting [see Adverse Reactions (6) ]. Liver injury has been reported within the first month of therapy and up to 15 months following initiation of TRIKAFTA . Assess liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin) in all patients prior to initiating TRIKAFTA. Assess liver function tests every month during the first 6 months of treatment, then every 3 months for the next 12 months, then at least annually thereafter. Consider more frequent monitoring for patients with a history of liver disease or liver function test elevations at baseline [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Adverse Reactions (6) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Interrupt TRIKAFTA for significant elevations in liver function tests or in the event of signs or symptoms of liver injury. Consider referral to a hepatologist. Follow patients closely with clinical and laboratory monitoring until abnormalities resolve. If abnormalities resolve, resume treatment only if the benefit is expected to outweigh the risk. Closer monitoring is advised after resuming TRIKAFTA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . TRIKAFTA should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). TRIKAFTA is not recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). If used, use with caution at a reduced dosage and monitor patients closely [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Adverse Reactions (6) , Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Drug-induced liver injury and liver failure : TRIKAFTA can cause serious and potentially fatal drug-induced liver injury. Assess liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin) in all patients prior to initiating and throughout treatment with TRIKAFTA. Interrupt TRIKAFTA in the event of significant elevations in liver function tests or signs or symptoms of liver injury. TRIKAFTA should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). TRIKAFTA is not recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). ( 2.1 , 2.3 , 5.1 , 6 , 8.7 , 12.3 ) Hypersensitivity reactions : Angioedema and anaphylaxis have been reported with TRIKAFTA in the postmarketing setting. Initiate appropriate therapy in the event of a hypersensitivity reaction. ( 5.2 ) Intracranial hypertension : Intracranial hypertension (IH) has been reported in the postmarketing setting with the use of TRIKAFTA. If an unusual headache or visual disturbances occur during treatment, and IH is suspected, interrupt TRIKAFTA and refer for prompt medical evaluation. ( 5.3 ) Neuropsychiatric events, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors : Serious neuropsychiatric events, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and behavior, and sleep disturbances, have been reported in the postmarketing setting for TRIKAFTA or drugs containing the same or similar active ingredients. Monitor patients closely for new or worsening symptoms. Consider the risks and benefits for the individual patient to determine if therapy with TRIKAFTA should be interrupted at the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. ( 5.4 ) Use with CYP3A inducers : Concomitant use with strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., rifampin, St. John's wort) significantly decrease ivacaftor exposure and are expected to decrease elexacaftor and tezacaftor exposure, which may reduce TRIKAFTA efficacy. Therefore, concomitant use is not recommended. ( 5.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Cataracts : Non-congenital lens opacities/cataracts have been reported in pediatric patients treated with ivacaftor-containing regimens. Baseline and follow-up examinations are recommended in pediatric patients initiating TRIKAFTA treatment. ( 5.7 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Liver Failure TRIKAFTA can cause serious and potentially fatal drug-induced liver injury. Cases of liver failure leading to transplantation and death have been reported in patients with and without a history of liver disease taking TRIKAFTA, in both clinical trials and the postmarketing setting [see Adverse Reactions (6) ] . Liver injury has been reported within the first month of therapy and up to 15 months following initiation of TRIKAFTA. Assess liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin) in all patients prior to initiating TRIKAFTA. Assess liver function tests every month during the first 6 months of treatment, then every 3 months for the next 12 months, then at least annually thereafter. Consider more frequent monitoring for patients with a history of liver disease or liver function test elevations at baseline [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Adverse Reactions (6) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Interrupt TRIKAFTA in the event of signs or symptoms of liver injury. These may include: Significant elevations in liver function tests (e.g., ALT or AST >5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ALT or AST >3 × ULN with bilirubin >2 × ULN) Clinical symptoms suggestive of liver injury (e.g., jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, ascites). Consider referral to a hepatologist and follow patients closely with clinical and laboratory monitoring until abnormalities resolve. If abnormalities resolve and if the benefit is expected to outweigh the risk, resume TRIKAFTA treatment with close monitoring. TRIKAFTA should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). TRIKAFTA is not rec …
Adverse Reactions
openFDA Drug Labeling6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Liver Failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Intracranial Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Neuropsychiatric Events, Including Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Cataracts [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] The most common adverse drug reactions to TRIKAFTA (≥5% of patients and at a frequency higher than placebo by ≥1%) were headache, upper respiratory tract infection, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash, alanine aminotransferase increased, nasal congestion, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, rhinorrhea, rhinitis, influenza, sinusitis, blood bilirubin increased and constipation. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 1-877-634-8789 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Patients with Cystic Fibrosis with at Least One F508del Variant The safety profile of TRIKAFTA in patients with CF with at least one F508del variant is based on data from 510 patients aged 12 years and older in two double-blind, controlled trials of 24 weeks and 4 weeks treatment duration (Trials 1 and 2, respectively). Eligible patients were also able to participate in an open-label extension safety study (up to 96 weeks of TRIKAFTA). In the two controlled trials, a total of 257 patients aged 12 years and older received at least one dose of TRIKAFTA. In Trial 1, the proportion of patients who discontinued study drug prematurely due to adverse events was 1% for TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 0% for placebo-treated patients. In Trial 1, serious adverse reactions that occurred more frequently in TRIKAFTA-treated patients compared to placebo were rash (1% vs 8, >5, or >3 × ULN was 1%, 2%, and 8% in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 1%, 1%, and 5% in placebo-treated patients. The incidence of adverse reactions of transaminase elevations (AST and/or ALT) was 11% in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 4% in placebo-treated patients. In Trial 1, the incidence of maximum total bilirubin elevation >2 × ULN was 4% in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 1.5 × ULN occurred in 11% and 3% of TRIKAFTA-treated patients, respectively. No TRIKAFTA-treated patients developed maximum direct bilirubin elevation >2 × ULN. During Trial 3, in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years, the incidence of maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) >8, >5, and >3 × ULN were 0%, 1.5%, and 10.6%, respectively. No TRIKAFTA-treated patients had transaminase elevation >3 × ULN associated with elevated total bilirubin >2 × ULN or discontinued treatment due to transaminase elevations. During Trial 4 in patients aged 2 to less than 6 years, the incidence of maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) >8, >5, and >3 × ULN were 1.3%, 2.7%, and 8.0%, respectively. No TRIKAFTA-treated patients had transaminase elevation >3 × ULN associated with elevated total bilirubin >2 × ULN. One patient required treatment interruption during Trial 4 and later discontinued TRIKAFTA during the open label extension due to transaminase elevations. In Trial 5, the incidence of maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) >8, >5, and >3 × ULN were 2.0%, 2.0%, and 6.3%, respectively, and led to treatment discontinuation in 0.5% and treatment interruptions in 1.5% of TRIKAFTA-treated patients. There were no transaminase elevations >3 × ULN in placebo-treated patients. Rash In Trial 1, the overall incidence of rash was 10% in TRIKAFTA-treated and 5% in plac …
Drug Interactions
openFDA Drug Labeling7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 5.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Reduce TRIKAFTA dosage when used concomitantly. Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit. ( 2.4 , 5.6 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs and Grapefruit on TRIKAFTA Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of TRIKAFTA with strong CYP3A inducers is not recommended. Elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor are substrates of CYP3A (ivacaftor is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A). Concomitant use of CYP3A inducers may result in reduced exposures and thus reduced TRIKAFTA efficacy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . Concomitant use of ivacaftor with rifampin, a strong CYP3A inducer, significantly decreased ivacaftor area under the curve (AUC) by 89%. Elexacaftor and tezacaftor exposures are expected to decrease during concomitant use with strong CYP3A inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Examples of strong CYP3A inducers include: rifampin, rifabutin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors The dosage of TRIKAFTA should be reduced when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . Concomitant use with itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased elexacaftor AUC by 2.8-fold and tezacaftor AUC by 4.0- to 4.5-fold. When used concomitantly with itraconazole and ketoconazole, ivacaftor AUC increased by 15.6-fold and 8.5-fold, respectively [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Examples of strong CYP3A inhibitors include: ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole telithromycin and clarithromycin The dosage of TRIKAFTA should be reduced when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ]. Simulations indicated that concomitant use with moderate CYP3A inhibitors may increase elexacaftor and tezacaftor AUC by approximately 1.9- to 2.3-fold and 2.1-fold, respectively. Concomitant use of fluconazole increased ivacaftor AUC by 2.9-fold [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Examples of moderate CYP3A inhibitors include: fluconazole erythromycin Grapefruit Concomitant use of TRIKAFTA with grapefruit juice, which contains one or more components that moderately inhibit CYP3A, may increase exposure of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor; therefore, food or drink containing grapefruit should be avoided during treatment with TRIKAFTA [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 7.2 Effect of TRIKAFTA on Other Drugs CYP2C9 Substrates Ivacaftor may inhibit CYP2C9; therefore, monitoring of the international normalized ratio (INR) during concomitant use of TRIKAFTA with warfarin is recommended. Other medicinal products for which exposure may be increased by TRIKAFTA include glimepiride and glipizide; these medicinal products should be used with caution [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Transporters Concomitant use of ivacaftor or tezacaftor/ivacaftor with digoxin, a sensitive P-gp substrate, increased digoxin AUC by 1.3-fold, consistent with weak inhibition of P-gp by ivacaftor. Administration of TRIKAFTA may increase systemic exposure of medicinal products that are sensitive substrates of P-gp, which may increase or prolong their therapeutic effect and adverse reactions. When used concomitantly with digoxin or other substrates of P-gp with a narrow therapeutic index such as cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus and tacrolimus, caution and appropriate monitoring should be used [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Elexacaftor and M23-ELX inhibit uptake by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 in vitro. Concomitant use of TRIKAFTA may increase exposures of medicinal products that are substrates of these transporters, such as statins, glyburide, nateglinide and repaglinide. When used concomitantly with substrates of OATP1B1 or OATP1B3, caution and appropriate monitoring should be used [see C …
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are limited and incomplete human data from clinical trials on the use of TRIKAFTA or its individual components, elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor, in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Although there are no animal reproduction studies with the concomitant administration of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor, separate reproductive and developmental studies were conducted with each active component of TRIKAFTA in pregnant rats and rabbits. In animal embryo fetal development (EFD) studies oral administration of elexacaftor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis demonstrated no adverse developmental effects at doses that produced maternal exposures up to approximately 2 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) in rats and 4 times the MRHD in rabbits [based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite (for rat) and AUC of elexacaftor (for rabbit)]. Oral administration of tezacaftor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis demonstrated no adverse developmental effects at doses that produced maternal exposures up to approximately 3 times the exposure at the MRHD in rats and 0.2 times the MRHD in rabbits (based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ). Oral administration of ivacaftor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis demonstrated no adverse developmental effects at doses that produced maternal exposures up to approximately 5 and 14 times the exposure at the MRHD, respectively [based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites (for rat) and AUC of ivacaftor (for rabbit)]. No adverse developmental effects were observed after oral administration of elexacaftor, tezacaftor or ivacaftor to pregnant rats from the period of organogenesis through lactation at doses that produced maternal exposures approximately 1 time, approximately 1 time and 3 times the exposures at the MRHD, respectively [based on summed AUCs of parent and metabolite(s)] (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Elexacaftor In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered oral doses of elexacaftor at 15, 25, and 40 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6-17. Elexacaftor did not cause adverse developmental outcomes at exposures up to 9 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs for elexacaftor and its metabolite at maternal doses up to 40 mg/kg/day). Lower mean fetal body weights were observed at doses ≥25 mg/kg/day that produced maternal exposures ≥4 times the MRHD. Maternal toxicity was observed at 40 mg/kg/day (9 times the MRHD). In an EFD study, pregnant rabbits were administered oral doses of elexacaftor at 50, 100, or 125 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-20. Elexacaftor was not teratogenic at exposures up to 4 times the MRHD (based on AUC of elexacaftor at maternal doses up to 125 mg/kg/day). Maternal toxicity was observed at 125 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD). In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND), pregnant rats were administered elexacaftor at oral doses of 5, 7.5, and 10 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 6 through lactation Day 18. Elexacaftor did not cause adverse developmental outcomes in pups at maternal doses up to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1 time the MRHD based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite). Placental transfer of elexacaftor was observed in pregnant rats. Tezacaftor In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered tezacaftor at oral doses of 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6-17. Tezacaftor did not cause adverse developmental effects at exposures up to 3 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ). Maternal t …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Elexacaftor and tezacaftor bind to different sites on the CFTR protein and have an additive effect in facilitating the cellular processing and trafficking of select mutant forms of CFTR (including F508del-CFTR) to increase the amount of CFTR protein delivered to the cell surface compared to either molecule alone. Ivacaftor potentiates the channel open probability (or gating) of the CFTR protein at the cell surface. The combined effect of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor is increased quantity and function of CFTR at the cell surface, resulting in increased CFTR activity as measured both by CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro and by sweat chloride in patients with CF. CFTR Chloride Transport Assay in Fischer Rat Thyroid Cells Expressing Mutant CFTR Protein Effects of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor on chloride transport for mutant CFTR proteins was determined in Ussing chamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cell lines stably expressing individual mutant CFTR protein. Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing CFTR variants, as identified in Table 6. The threshold that the treatment-induced increase in chloride transport must exceed for the mutant CFTR protein to be considered responsive is ≥10% of normal over baseline. This threshold was used because it is expected to predict clinical benefit. For individual variants, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response. CFTR Chloride Transport Assay in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells Expressing Mutant CFTR Protein Homozygous and heterozygous N1303K -Human Bronchial Epithelial (HBE) cells showed greater chloride transport in the presence of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor than F508del/F508del -HBE cells treated with tezacaftor/ivacaftor (which has shown clinical benefit in people homozygous for F508del) . Patient Selection Select adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older for the treatment of CF with TRIKAFTA based on a clinical diagnosis of CF and the presence of at least one variant in the CFTR gene that is either responsive based on clinical and/or in vitro data or results in production of CFTR protein [see Indications and Usage (1) ] . TRIKAFTA should only be used in patients with a clinical diagnosis of CF. The presence of eligible CFTR variant(s) should not be the sole determinant for using TRIKAFTA. Table 6 lists CFTR variants responsive to TRIKAFTA based on clinical and/or in vitro data in FRT or HBE cells [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Table 6: List of CFTR Gene Variants Responsive to TRIKAFTA The list of responsive CFTR variants is non-exhaustive. There may be protein-producing CFTR variants not listed that respond to treatment with TRIKAFTA.
