Canadian labeling: Hypersensitivity to ivacaftor, tezacaftor, or any component of the formulation.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Cataracts: Noncongenital lens opacities and cataracts have been reported in pediatric patients treated with tezacaftor/ivacaftor and ivacaftor; other risk factors were present in some cases (eg, corticosteroid use, exposure to radiation), but a possible risk related to tezacaftor/ivacaftor cannot be excluded. Baseline and follow-up ophthalmological examinations are recommended in pediatric patients.

• CNS effects: May cause dizziness, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).

• Hepatic effects: May increase hepatic transaminases. 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. Temporarily discontinue treatment if ALT or AST >5 times ULN or if ALT or AST >3 times ULN with concomitant bilirubin >2 times ULN. Following resolution of transaminase elevations, consider the benefits and risks of resuming therapy.

• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with tezacaftor/ivacaftor use. If signs and symptoms of severe hypersensitivity occur, discontinue use and treat appropriately; consider risk vs benefit prior to resuming therapy.

Disease-related concerns:

• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment; dosage adjustment 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 ESRD.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Appropriate use: If the patient's genotype is unknown, an FDA-cleared CF mutation test should be used to detect the presence of a CFTR mutation followed by verification with bidirectional sequencing when recommended by the mutation test instructions for use.

Food Interactions

Food increases exposure to tezacaftor/ivacaftor. Tezacaftor/ivacaftor serum concentrations may be increased when taken with grapefruit or Seville oranges. Management: Administer with fat-containing food; avoid grapefruit and Seville oranges during therapy.

Pregnancy Considerations

Ivacaftor crosses the placenta (Trimble 2018).

Refer to the ivacaftor monograph for additional information.

Breastfeeding Considerations

Ivacaftor is present in breast milk (Trimble 2018); excretion of tezacaftor is not known.

According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother. Refer to the ivacaftor monograph for additional information.

Dietary Considerations

Take with fat-containing food (eg, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts, peanut butter, cheese pizza, meats, whole-milk dairy products [eg, whole milk, cheese, yogurt]). Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit or Seville oranges during treatment.

Monitoring Parameters

CF mutation test (prior to therapy if genotype is unknown); ophthalmological examinations (baseline and follow-up in pediatric patients); ALT and AST (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).

Mechanism of Action

Tezacaftor: Facilitates the cellular processing and trafficking of normal and select mutant forms of CFTR (including F508del-CFTR) to increase the amount of mature CFTR protein delivered to the cell surface.

Ivacaftor: CFTR potentiator that facilitates increased chloride transport by potentiating the channel-open probability (or gating) of the CFTR protein at the cell surface.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Ivacaftor and tezacaftor: Variable; increased (by ~3-fold) when administered with fatty foods compared with fasting.

Distribution: Vd:

Ivacaftor: 206 L ± 82.9 L

Tezacaftor: 271 L ± 157 L

Protein binding:

Ivacaftor: ~99%; primarily to alpha1-acid glycoprotein and albumin

Tezacaftor: ~99%; primarily to albumin

Metabolism:

Ivacaftor: Hepatic; extensive via CYP3A and CYP3A5; forms 2 major metabolites (M1 [active; 1/6 potency] and M6 [inactive])

Tezacaftor: Hepatic; extensive via CYP3A and CYP3A5; forms 3 major metabolites (M1 and M2 active; M5 inactive)

Half-life elimination:

Ivacaftor: 13.7 ± 6.06 hours

Tezacaftor: 15 ± 3.44 hours

Time to peak:

Ivacaftor: Median: ~6 hours (range: 3 to 10 hours)

Tezacaftor: Median: ~4 hours (range: 2 to 6 hours)

Excretion:

Ivacaftor: Feces (87.8%); urine (6.6%)

Tezacaftor: Feces (72% as unchanged drug or M2 metabolite); urine (14% [mostly as M2 metabolite], <1% of administered dose as unchanged drug)

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Hepatic function impairment: AUC was ~36% higher and Cmax was ~10% higher for tezacaftor, and a 1.5- to 2-fold increase in ivacaftor AUC in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.

Pediatric: Exposure (AUC) in pediatric patients (6 to <18 years of age) is similar to adult patients.
