Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor, and Ivacaftor

7 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 Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Bilirubin is an OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 substrate. 7.3 Drugs with No Clinically Significant Interactions with TRIKAFTA 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 (6.1) ] . For patients with CF taking hormonal contraceptives who develop rash, consider interrupting TRIKAFTA and hormonal contraceptives. Following the resolution of rash, consider resuming TRIKAFTA without the hormonal contraceptives. If rash does not recur, resumption of hormonal contraceptives can be considered.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE TRIKAFTA is indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older who have a clinical diagnosis of CF and who have at least one variant in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ) gene that is either responsive based on clinical and/or in vitro data (see Table 6 ) or results in production of CFTR protein [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . If the patient's genotype is unknown, an FDA-cleared CF genetic test should be used to confirm 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. TRIKAFTA is a combination of ivacaftor, a CFTR potentiator, tezacaftor, and elexacaftor indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older who have a clinical diagnosis of CF and who have 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. ( 1 , 12.1 ) If the patient's genotype is unknown, an FDA-cleared CF genetic test should be used to confirm 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.
