Ophthalmic: Cataract
There are no contraindications listed in the US labeling.
Canadian labeling: Hypersensitivity to lumacaftor, ivacaftor or any component of the formulation
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Cataracts: Noncongenital lens opacities and cataracts have been reported in pediatric patients treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor and ivacaftor; other risk factors were present in some cases (eg, corticosteroid use, exposure to radiation), but a possible risk related to ivacaftor cannot be excluded. Baseline and follow-up ophthalmological examinations are recommended in pediatric patients.
• Hepatic effects: May increase hepatic transaminases with or without concomitant elevations in total serum bilirubin. Monitor ALT, AST, and bilirubin at baseline, every 3 months for the first year of therapy, and annually thereafter. Increased monitoring may be necessary in patients with a history of elevated hepatic transaminases or bilirubin. Temporarily discontinue treatment if ALT or AST >5 times ULN without concomitant elevated bilirubin or if ALT or AST >3 times ULN with concomitant bilirubin >2 times ULN.
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with lumacaftor/ivacaftor use. If signs and symptoms of severe hypersensitivity occur, discontinue use and treat appropriately; consider risk vs benefit prior to resuming therapy.
• Hypertension: Increased blood pressure has been observed; monitor blood pressure periodically during therapy.
• Respiratory effects: Use was associated with an increased incidence of respiratory events (eg, chest discomfort, dyspnea, and abnormal respirations); may result in drug discontinuation and may be serious (especially in patients with advanced lung disease [percent predicted FEV1 <40]). Careful monitoring during initiation of therapy is recommended in patients with a percent predicted FEV1 <40.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution; worsening of liver function (including hepatic encephalopathy) has been reported in patients with advanced liver disease. Liver function decompensation (including liver failure leading to death) has been reported in CF patients with preexisting cirrhosis with portal hypertension. Dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with moderate to severe (Child-Pugh class B or C) impairment.
• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe impairment (CrCl ≤30 mL/minute) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Special populations:
• Organ transplant recipients: Use is not recommended in cystic fibrosis patients who have undergone organ transplantation (has not been studied).

A double dose should not be taken to make up for the forgotten dose.
Cystic fibrosis: Treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients age 1 year and older who are homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene. If the patient's genotype is unknown, an FDA-cleared CF mutation test should be used to detect the presence of the F508del mutation on both alleles of the CFTR gene.
Limitations of use: Efficacy and safety have not been established in patients with CF other than those homozygous for the F508del mutation.

Lumacaftor: Not extensively metabolized; undergoes oxidation and glucuronidation
Half-life elimination:
Ivacaftor: 9.34 ± 3.81 hours (when administered with lumacaftor in healthy subjects)
Lumacaftor: 25.2 ± 9.94 hours (in patients with CF)
