TRIKAFTA- elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor
Function and Efficacy
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 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.

Drug Interaction Studies Drug interaction studies were performed with elexacaftor, tezacaftor and/or ivacaftor and other drugs likely to be co-administered or drugs commonly used as probes for pharmacokinetic interaction studies [see Drug Interactions (7) Potential for Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor and/or Ivacaftor to Affect Other Drugs Based on in vitro results, elexacaftor and tezacaftor have a low potential to inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, whereas ivacaftor has the potential to inhibit CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP3A. However, clinical studies showed that the combination regimen of tezacaftor/ivacaftor is not an inhibitor of CYP3A and ivacaftor is not an inhibitor of CYP2C8 or CYP2D6. Based on in vitro results, elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor are not likely to induce CYP3A, CYP1A2 and CYP2B6. Based on in vitro results, elexacaftor and tezacaftor have a low potential to inhibit the transporter P-gp, while ivacaftor has the potential to inhibit P-gp. Co-administration of tezacaftor/ivacaftor with digoxin, a sensitive P-gp substrate, increased digoxin exposure by 1. 3-fold in a clinical study. Based on in vitro results, elexacaftor and M23-ELX may inhibit OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 uptake. Tezacaftor has a low potential to inhibit BCRP, OCT2, OAT1, or OAT3. Ivacaftor is not an inhibitor of the transporters OCT1, OCT2, OAT1, or OAT3. The effects of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and/or ivacaftor on the exposure of co-administered drugs are shown in Table 9 [see Drug Interactions (7) Table 9: Impact of Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor and/or Ivacaftor on Other Drugs Dose and Schedule Effect on Other Drug PK Geometric Mean Ratio (90% CI) of Other Drug AUC C max up arrow = increase, down arrow = decrease, left-right arrow = no change.

Exposure to elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor may be reduced by concomitant CYP3A inducers and increased by concomitant CYP3A inhibitors. In vitro studies showed that elexacaftor and tezacaftor are substrates for the efflux transporter P-gp, but ivacaftor is not. Elexacaftor and ivacaftor are not substrates for OATP1B1 or OATP1B3; tezacaftor is a substrate for OATP1B1, but not OATP1B3. Tezacaftor is a substrate for BCRP.

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. 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. 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. 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 placebo-treated patients (see Table 4 In Trial 5, the overall incidence of rash was 23% in TRIKAFTA-treated and 2% in placebo-treated patients (see Table 5 A role of hormonal contraceptives in the occurrence of rash cannot be excluded [see Drug Interactions (7. 3) Increased Creatine Phosphokinase In Trial 1, the incidence of maximum creatine phosphokinase elevation >5 × ULN was 10% in TRIKAFTA-treated and 5% in placebo-treated patients. Among the TRIKAFTA-treated patients with creatine phosphokinase elevation >5 × ULN, 14% (3/21) required treatment interruption and none discontinued treatment. In Trial 5, the incidence of maximum creatine phosphokinase elevation >5 × ULN was 5. 4% (11/205) in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 1% (1/102) in placebo-treated patients. The incidence of maximum creatine phosphokinase elevation >10 × ULN was 2. 4% (5/205) in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 1% (1/102) in placebo-treated patients. There were no interruptions or discontinuations among the TRIKAFTA-treated patients with creatine phosphokinase elevation >5 × ULN. Among the TRIKAFTA-treated patients with creatine phosphokinase elevation > 10 × ULN, two patients, who had exercised within the preceding 72 hours, developed rhabdomyolysis without evidence of renal involvement resulting in treatment interruption in 1 patient. Increased Blood Pressure In Trial 1, the maximum increase from baseline in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 3. 5 mmHg and 1. 9 mmHg, respectively for TRIKAFTA-treated patients (baseline: 113 mmHg systolic and 69 mmHg diastolic) and 0. 9 mmHg and 0. 5 mmHg, respectively for placebo-treated patients (baseline: 114 mmHg systolic and 70 mmHg diastolic). The proportion of patients who had systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and 10 mmHg increase from baseline on at least two occasions was 4% in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 1% in placebo-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% in TRIKAFTA-treated patients and 2% in placebo-treated patients. With the exception of sex differences in rash, the safety profile of TRIKAFTA was generally similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, sex, baseline percent predicted FEV 1 1 The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of TRIKAFTA.

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. 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 toxicity in rats was observed at greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg/day (approximately greater than or equal to 1 time the MRHD). In an EFD study, pregnant rabbits were administered tezacaftor at oral doses of 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-20. Tezacaftor did not affect fetal developmental outcomes at exposures up to 0. 2 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ). Lower fetal body weights were observed in rabbits at a maternally toxic dose that produced exposures approximately 1 time the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ at a maternal dose of 50 mg/kg/day). In a PPND study, pregnant rats were administered tezacaftor at oral doses of 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 6 through lactation Day 18. Tezacaftor had no adverse developmental effects on pups at an exposure of approximately 1 time the MRHD (based on summed AUCs for tezacaftor and M1-TEZ at a maternal dose of 25 mg/kg/day). Decreased fetal body weights and early developmental delays in pinna detachment, eye opening, and righting reflex occurred at a maternally toxic dose (based on maternal weight loss) that produced exposures approximately 2 times the exposure at the MRHD (based on summed AUCs for tezacaftor and M1-TEZ). Placental transfer of tezacaftor was observed in pregnant rats. Ivacaftor In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-17. Ivacaftor did not affect fetal survival at exposures up to 5 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites at maternal oral doses up to 200 mg/kg/day). Maternal toxicity was observed at 100 and 200 mg/kg/day (3 and 5 times the exposure at the MRHD) and was associated with a decrease in fetal body weights at a maternal dose of 200 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD). In an EFD study, pregnant rabbits were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-19. Ivacaftor did not affect fetal development or survival at exposures up to 14 times the MRHD (on an ivacaftor AUC basis at maternal oral doses up to 100 mg/kg/day). 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 5 times the MRHD). In a PPND study, pregnant rats were administered ivacaftor at oral doses of 50, 100, or 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 3 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs for ivacaftor and its metabolites at maternal oral doses up to 100 mg/kg/day). Decreased fetal body weights were observed at a maternally toxic dose that produced exposures 5 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites). Placental transfer of ivacaftor was observed in pregnant rats and rabbits. Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of elexacaftor, tezacaftor, or ivacaftor in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor are excreted into the milk of lactating rats (see Data Data Elexacaftor: 14 14 0-72h Tezacaftor: 14 14 0-72h Ivacaftor: 14 14 0-24h The safety and effectiveness of TRIKAFTA for the treatment of CF have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 to less than 18 years who have at least one F508del CFTR CFTR [see Adverse Reactions (6. 1) Clinical Studies (14) Use of TRIKAFTA for this indication in pediatric patients 2 to less than 12 years of age is based on the following: Trial 1, 56 pediatric patients aged 12 to less than 18 years who had an F508del [see Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Studies (14) Trial 2, 16 pediatric patients aged 12 to less than 18 years who were homozygous for the F508del [see Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Studies (14) Trial 3, 66 pediatric patients aged 6 to less than 12 years who were homozygous for the F508del F508del [see Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Trial 4, 75 pediatric patients aged 2 to less than 6 years who had at least one F508del [see Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Trial 5, 64 pediatric patients aged 6 years to less than 18 years who had a least one qualifying non- F508del [see Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Studies (14. 2) The effectiveness of TRIKAFTA in patients aged 2 to less than 12 years was extrapolated from patients aged 12 years and older with support from population pharmacokinetic analyses showing elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor exposure levels in patients aged 2 to less than 12 years within the range of exposures observed in patients aged 12 years and older [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) [see Adverse Reactions (6) The safety and effectiveness of TRIKAFTA in patients with CF younger than 2 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 times 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. 5) 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, 2 years of age and older, for whom levels of P-glycoprotein activity are equivalent to levels observed in adults. Clinical studies of TRIKAFTA did not include any patients aged 65 years and older. TRIKAFTA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min/1. 73 m 2 2 2 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Severe Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Class C): [see Dosage and Administration (2. 3) Warnings and Precautions (5. 1) Adverse Reactions (6) Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Moderate Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Class B): [see Dosage and Administration (2. 1) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Mild Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Class A): [see Dosage and Administration (2. 1) Warnings and Precautions (5. 1) Trial 1 included a total of 18 patients receiving TRIKAFTA with ppFEV 1.
Drug Interactions
Strong CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use. 3 Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Reduce TRIKAFTA dosage when used concomitantly. Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit. 3 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. 3) [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) Warnings and Precautions (5. 4) [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. 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) 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 Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Ciprofloxacin Ciprofloxacin had no clinically relevant effect on the exposure of tezacaftor or ivacaftor and is not expected to affect the exposure of elexacaftor. Therefore, no dose adjustment is necessary during concomitant administration of TRIKAFTA with ciprofloxacin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. 3) Hormonal Contraceptives TRIKAFTA has been studied with ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel and was found to have no clinically relevant effect on the exposures of the oral contraceptive. TRIKAFTA is not expected to have an impact on the efficacy of oral contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives may play a role in the occurrence of rash and 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 of the patient.
NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
No studies of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or impairment of fertility were conducted with the combination of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor; however, separate studies of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor are described below. Elexacaftor A 6-month study in Tg. rasH2 transgenic mice showed no evidence of tumorigenicity at 50 mg/kg/day dose, the highest dose tested. A two-year study was conducted in rats to assess the carcinogenic potential of elexacaftor. No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in rats at elexacaftor oral doses up to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 and 5 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite in male and female rats, respectively). Elexacaftor was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: Ames test for bacterial gene mutation, in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus assay in TK6 cells, and in vivo mouse micronucleus test. Elexacaftor did not cause reproductive system toxicity in male rats at 55 mg/kg/day and female rats at 25 mg/kg/day, equivalent to approximately 6 times and 4 times the MRHD, respectively (based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite). Elexacaftor did not cause embryonic toxicity at 35 mg/kg/day which was the highest dose tested, equivalent to approximately 7 times the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite). Lower male and female fertility, male copulation and female conception indices were observed in males at 75 mg/kg/day and females at 35 mg/kg/day, equivalent to approximately 6 times and 7 times, respectively, the MRHD (based on summed AUCs of elexacaftor and its metabolite). 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 1 and 2 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of tezacaftor and its metabolites 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). 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 2 and 7 times the MRHD, respectively, based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites). 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 7 and 5 times, respectively, the MRHD based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites). 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 (approximately 5 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of ivacaftor and its metabolites) when dams were dosed prior to and during early pregnancy. These impairments of fertility and reproductive performance in male and female rats at 200 mg/kg/day were attributed to severe toxicity.
