VANZACAFTOR, TEZACAFTOR, AND DEUTIVACAFTOR- vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor_tablet, film coated
Function and Efficacy
Vanzacaftor 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- The combined effect of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor and deutivacaftor 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 vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor on chloride transport for mutant CFTR protein was determined in Ussing chamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cell lines stably expressing CFTR protein from individual mutations. Vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing select CFTR 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 mutations, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response.

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. The adverse reactions data below are from clinical trials of ALYFTREK in patients 6 years of age and older with CF with at least one responsive CFTR. Adverse Reactions in Patients Aged 12 Years and Older with CF The safety of ALYFTREK is based on 480 patients with CF aged 12 years and older who have at least one F508del CFTR [see Clinical Studies (14) In Trial 1 and Trial 2 combined, the proportion of patients who discontinued treatment prematurely due to adverse reactions were 3. 7% in ALYFTREK and ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment groups, respectively. Serious adverse reactions that occurred more frequently with ALYFTREK treatment than with ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment that occurred in 2 or more patients (>=0. 4%) were influenza (1. 5%), increased AST (0. 4%), increased GGT (0. 4%), depression (0. 4%), and syncope (0.

The rashes were generally mild to moderate in severity. The incidence of rash was 9. 4% in males and 13% in females with ALYFTREK treatment and 7. 6% in males and 7. 9% in females with ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment. A role of hormonal contraceptives in the occurrence of rash cannot be excluded [see Drug Interactions (7. 3) Increased Creatine Phosphokinase In Trials 1 and 2, the incidence of maximum creatine phosphokinase >5× the ULN was 7. 9% with ALYFTREK treatment and 6. 5% with ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment. Discontinuation due to increased creatinine phosphokinase was 0. 2% for ALYFTREK-treated patients and 0. 2% for ELX/TEZ/IVA-treated patients. Cases of rhabdomyolysis without renal involvement have been reported in patients who had recently exercised taking a fixed-dose combination drug containing ELX/TEZ/IVA (the same or similar active ingredients as ALYFTREK). Increased Blood Pressure Elevations in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure have been reported in patients taking a fixed-dose combination drug containing ELX/TEZ/IVA (the same or similar active ingredients as ALYFTREK). The proportion of patients who had systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and >10 mmHg increase from baseline on at least two occasions was 3. 5% in ALYFTREK-treated patients and 3. 3% in ELX/TEZ/IVA-treated patients. The proportion of patients who had diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg and >5 mmHg increase from baseline on at least two occasions was 1. 7% in ALYFTREK-treated patients and 1. 8% in ELX/TEZ/IVA-treated patients. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures remained in the normal range from both ALYFTREK and ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment arms. Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients Aged 6 to Less Than 12 Years with CF A 24-week, open-label trial of ALYFTREK was conducted in 78 patients with CF aged 6 to less than 12 years with at least one mutation responsive to ELX/TEZ/IVA (Trial 3). In Trial 3, patients who weighed less than 40 kg received ALYFTREK (vanzacaftor 12 mg/tezacaftor 60 mg/deutivacaftor 150 mg once daily) and patients who weighed 40 kg or more received ALYFTREK (vanzacaftor 20 mg/tezacaftor 100 mg/deutivacaftor 250 mg once daily). Adverse reactions for these patients were generally similar to those reported in Trial 1 and Trial 2. In Trial 3, the incidence of maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) >3×, >5×, and >8× ULN were 3. 3%, and 0%, respectively.
Special Population Medication
Risk Summary There are no available data on ALYFTREK use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Although there are no animal reproduction studies with the concomitant administration of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor, separate reproductive and developmental studies were conducted with vanzacaftor and tezacaftor in pregnant rats and rabbits. Deutivacaftor is a deuterated isotopologue of ivacaftor with a toxicity profile similar to ivacaftor. Reproductive and development studies were conducted with ivacaftor in pregnant rats and rabbits. In animal embryo fetal development (EFD) studies, oral administration of vanzacaftor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis demonstrated no adverse developmental effects at doses that produced maternal exposures up to approximately 30 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) in rats and 22 times the MRHD in rabbits. 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 the metabolite 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 8 and 9 times the exposure at the MRHD, respectively (based on AUC of ivacaftor for rats and rabbits). No adverse developmental effects were observed after oral administration of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, or ivacaftor to pregnant rats from the period of organogenesis through lactation at doses that produced maternal exposures approximately 18 times, 1 time, and 8 times the exposures at the MRHD, respectively (based on AUCs of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor and M1-TEZ, and ivacaftor) ( see Data The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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 Vanzacaftor Tezacaftor: Deutivacaftor In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-17. Ivacaftor did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 8 times the MRHD for deutivacaftor (based on AUC of ivacaftor in animal studies up to 200 mg/kg/day). In an EFD study, pregnant rabbits were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-19. Ivacaftor did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 9 times the MRHD for deutivacaftor (based on AUC of ivacaftor in animal studies). Maternal toxicity (i. , death, decreased food consumption, decreased mean body weight and body weight gain, decreased clinical condition, abortions) was observed at doses greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the MRHD). In a PPND study, pregnant rats were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 7 through lactation Day 20. Ivacaftor had no effects on delivery or growth and development of offspring at exposures up to 8 times the MRHD (based on AUC for ivacaftor at maternal oral doses up to 100 mg/kg/day). Decreased fetal body weights were observed at a maternally toxic dose (200 mg/kg/day, 13 times the exposure at MHRD). Placental transfer of ivacaftor was observed in pregnant rats and rabbits. Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, or deutivacaftor or their metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Vanzacaftor and tezacaftor are excreted into the milk of lactating female rats. Deutivacaftor has not been evaluated; however, ivacaftor is excreted into the milk of lactating female rats ( see Data Data The concentration of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, or deutivacaftor in animal milk does not necessarily predict the concentration of drug in human milk.

The overall safety profile of patients in Trial 3 was generally similar to the safety data in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older observed in Trials 1 and 2 [see Adverse Reactions (6. 1) There is a risk of cataracts in pediatric patients treated with ALYFTREK. Perform baseline and follow-up ophthalmological examination in pediatric patients prior to and during treatment with ALYFTREK [see Warnings and Precautions (5. 6) The safety and effectiveness of ALYFTREK in patients younger than 6 years of age have not been established. Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data Findings of cataracts were observed in juvenile rats dosed from postnatal Day 7 through 35 with ivacaftor dose levels of 10 mg/kg/day and higher (0. 21 time the MRHD based on systemic exposure of ivacaftor and its metabolites). This finding has not been observed in older animals [see Warnings and Precautions (5. 6) Studies were conducted with tezacaftor in juvenile rats starting at postnatal day (PND) 21 and ranging up to PNDs 35 to 49. Findings of convulsions and death were observed in juvenile rats that received a tezacaftor dose level of 100 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to 1. 9 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and its metabolite, M1-TEZ). A no effect dose level was identified at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to 0. 8 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and its metabolite, M1-TEZ). Findings were dose related and generally more severe when dosing with tezacaftor was initiated earlier in the postnatal period (PND 7, which would be approximately equivalent to a human neonate). Tezacaftor and its metabolite, M1-TEZ, are substrates for P-glycoprotein. Lower brain levels of P-glycoprotein activity in younger rats resulted in higher brain levels of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ. These findings are not relevant for the indicated pediatric population 6 to 11 years of age, for whom levels of P-glycoprotein activity are equivalent to levels observed in adults. Clinical studies of ALYFTREK did not include a sufficient number of patients with CF aged 65 years and older (n=2, 0. 4% of patients treated with ALYFTREK in Trials 1 and 2) to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients with CF. The recommended ALYFTREK dosage in patients with CF with mild to moderate renal impairment (RI) (eGFR 30 to < 90 mL/min/1. 73 m 2 2 No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, or deutivacaftor were observed in patients with mild to moderate RI (eGFR 30 to <90 mL/min/1. 73 m 2 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) 2 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Severe Hepatic Impairment ALYFTREK should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (HI) (Child-Pugh Class C). ALYFTREK has not been studied in patients with CF with severe HI [see Warnings and Precautions (5. 1) Adverse Reactions (6. 1) Moderate Hepatic Impairment The use of ALYFTREK is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child-Pugh Class B). Use of ALYFTREK should only be considered in patients with HI when there is a clear medical need, and the benefit outweighs the risk. If used, the recommended dosage in patients with moderate HI is the same as for patients with normal hepatic function. Liver function tests should be closely monitored [see Dosage and Administration (2. 2) Warnings and Precautions (5. 1) Mild Hepatic Impairment The recommended dosage of ALYFTREK in patients with mild HI (Child-Pugh Class A) is the same as in patients with normal hepatic function. Liver function tests should be closely monitored [see Warnings and Precautions (5.
Drug Interactions
Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers 5. 1 Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors 2. 1 Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of ALYFTREK with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers is not recommended. Vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor are substrates of CYP3A. Concomitant use of ALYFTREK with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) [see Warnings and Precautions (5. 4) Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce the ALYFTREK dosage when used concomitantly with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2. 3) Vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor are CYP3A substrates. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 5) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 5) Grapefruit Food or drink containing grapefruit should be avoided during treatment with ALYFTREK. Concomitant use of ALYFTREK with grapefruit juice which contains one or more components that moderately inhibit CYP3A may increase exposure of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor and deutivacaftor. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates Unless otherwise recommended in the P-gp substrate Prescribing Information, monitor more frequently for adverse reactions with concomitant use of ALYFTREK with P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions related to P-gp substrates. Tezacaftor and deutivacaftor (components of ALYFTREK) are P-gp inhibitors. Administration of tezacaftor/ivacaftor increases exposure of P-gp substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Substrates Unless otherwise recommended in BCRP substrate Prescribing Information, monitor more frequently for adverse reactions with concomitant use of ALYFTREK with BCRP substrate where minimal concentrations may lead to serious adverse reactions related to BCRP substrates. Vanzacaftor (VNZ) and deutivacaftor (D-IVA) (components of ALYFTREK) are inhibitors of BCRP in vitro. Concomitant use of ALYFTREK with BCRP substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) CYP2C9 Substrates Use caution when ALYFTREK is used concomitantly with CYP2C9 substrates. Monitor the international normalized ratio (INR) more frequently with concomitant use of ALYFTREK with warfarin. This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of deutivacaftor pharmacokinetics (it is an inhibitor of CYP2C9 in vitro) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Ciprofloxacin No clinically relevant effect on the exposure of tezacaftor was observed when tezacaftor/ivacaftor was used concomitantly with ciprofloxacin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Hormonal Contraceptives No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone containing hormonal contraceptives were observed when used concomitantly with tezacaftor in combination with ivacaftor and ivacaftor alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) A role for hormonal contraceptives contributing to rash cannot be excluded [see Adverse Reactions (6.

OVERDOSAGE
Treatment of overdosage consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the clinical status.
NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
No studies of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or impairment of fertility were conducted with the combination of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor; however, separate studies of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and ivacaftor are described below. Vanzacaftor A 6-month study in Tg. rasH2 mice showed no evidence of tumorigenicity at 30 mg/kg/day dose, the highest dose tested. Vanzacaftor was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: Ames test for bacterial gene mutation, in vitro micronucleus assay in TK6 cells, and in vivo rat micronucleus assay. Administration of oral vanzacaftor had no effects on fertility and early embryonic development in male and female rats at up to 12. 5 and 10 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 19 times for males and 30 times for females the exposure at the MRHD based on AUCs of vanzacaftor). Tezacaftor A two-year study in Sprague-Dawley rats and a 6-month study in Tg. rasH2 transgenic mice were conducted to assess the carcinogenic potential of tezacaftor. No evidence of tumorigenicity from tezacaftor was observed in male and female rats at oral doses up to 50 and 75 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 and 4 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ in males and females, respectively). No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in male and female Tg. rasH2 transgenic mice at tezacaftor doses up to 500 mg/kg/day. Tezacaftor was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: Ames test for bacterial gene mutation, in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells and in vivo mouse micronucleus test. There were no effects on male or female fertility and early embryonic development in rats at oral tezacaftor doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the MRHD based on summed AUC of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ). Deutivacaftor Deutivacaftor is a deuterated isotopologue of ivacaftor with an established toxicity profile similar to ivacaftor based on a 13-week single-agent repeat dose toxicity study; therefore, reproductive and developmental toxicity data and carcinogenicity data from ivacaftor are expected to be equivalent to deutivacaftor. Ivacaftor Two-year studies were conducted in CD-1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats to assess the carcinogenic potential of ivacaftor. No evidence of tumorigenicity from ivacaftor was observed in mice or rats at oral doses up to 200 mg/kg/day and 50 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately equivalent to 3 and 11 times MRHD, respectively, based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor). Ivacaftor was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: Ames test for bacterial gene mutation, in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells and in vivo mouse micronucleus test. Ivacaftor impaired fertility and reproductive performance indices in male and female rats at 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 15 and 13 times, respectively, the MRHD based on AUCs of ivacaftor). Increases in prolonged diestrus were observed in females at 200 mg/kg/day. Ivacaftor also increased the number of females with all nonviable embryos and decreased corpora lutea, implantations and viable embryos in rats at 200 mg/kg/day when dams were dosed prior to and during early pregnancy. Slight decreases of the seminal vesicle weights were observed in males at 200 mg/kg/day dose (approximately 15 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of IVA). These impairments of fertility and reproductive performance in male and female rats at 200 mg/kg/day were attributed to severe toxicity.
