ALYFTREK

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ALYFTREK is indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in adult and pediatric patients 6 years of age 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 5 ) 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. ALYFTREK is a combination of deutivacaftor, a CFTR potentiator, tezacaftor, and vanzacaftor indicated for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in adult and pediatric patients aged 6 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.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Liver Failure : Elevated transaminases have been observed in patients treated with ALYFTREK. Cases of serious and potentially fatal drug-induced liver injury and liver failure have been reported with a drug that contains the same or similar active ingredients as ALYFTREK. Assess liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin) in all patients prior to initiating and throughout treatment with ALYFTREK. Interrupt ALYFTREK in the event of significant elevations in liver function tests or signs or symptoms of liver injury. ALYFTREK should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). ALYFTREK is not recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). ( 2.4 , 5.1 , 8.7 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions : Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in the postmarketing setting for drugs containing elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and/or ivacaftor. If signs or symptoms of serious hypersensitivity reactions develop during ALYFTREK treatment, discontinue ALYFTREK and initiate appropriate therapy. ( 5.2 ) Patients Who Discontinued or Interrupted Elexacaftor-, Tezacaftor-, or Ivacaftor-Containing Drugs Due to Adverse Reactions : Consider benefits and risks before using ALYFTREK in patients who discontinued or interrupted elexacaftor-, tezacaftor-, or ivacaftor-containing drugs due to adverse reactions. If ALYFTREK is used, closely monitor for adverse reactions as clinically appropriate. ( 5.3 ) Intracranial Hypertension : Intracranial hypertension (IH) has been reported in the postmarketing setting with use of drugs containing the same or similar active ingredients as ALYFTREK. If an unusual headache or visual disturbances occur during treatment, and IH is suspected, interrupt ALYFTREK and refer for prompt medical evaluation. ( 5.4 ) Neuropsychiatric Events, Including Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors: Serious neuropsychiatric events, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and behavior, and sleep disturbances, have been reported in the postmarketing setting for ALYFTREK or drugs containing the same or similar active ingredients. Monitor patients closely for new or worsening symptoms. Consider the risks and benefits for the individual patient to determine if therapy with ALYFTREK should be interrupted at the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. ( 5.5 ) Reduced Effectiveness in Patients with Concomitant Use with CYP3A Inducers : Concomitant use with strong and moderate CYP3A inducers decreased vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor exposure, which may reduce ALYFTREK efficacy. Therefore, concomitant use is not recommended. ( 5.6 , 7.1 ) Adverse Reactions with Concomitant Use with CYP3A Inhibitors : Concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increased vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor exposure, which may increase the risk of ALYFTREK associated adverse reactions. Reduce the ALYFTREK dosage with concomitant use. ( 2.3 , 5.7 , 7.1 ) Cataracts : Non-congenital lens opacities/cataracts have been reported in patients with CF aged 18 years or less treated with drugs containing ivacaftor. Baseline and follow up ophthalmological examinations are recommended in pediatric patients treated with ALYFTREK. ( 5.8 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Liver Failure Elevated transaminases have been observed in patients treated with ALYFTREK [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Cases of serious and potentially fatal drug-induced liver injury and liver failure have been reported in patients with and without a history of liver disease who were taking a fixed-dose combination drug containing elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA), which contains the same or similar active ingredients as ALYFTREK. Liver injury has been reported within the first month of therapy and up to 15 months following initiation of ELX/TEZ/IVA. Assess liver function tests (ALT, A…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers : Concomitant use with ALYFTREK is not recommended. ( 5.6 , 7.1 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors : Reduce ALYFTREK dosage with concomitant use. Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit. ( 2.3 , 5.7 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs and Grapefruit on ALYFTREK 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) ] which may reduce ALYFTREK effectiveness [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . 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 (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of ALYFTREK adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ]. Concomitant use with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor is predicted to increase vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of ALYFTREK adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ]. 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. 7.2 Effect of ALYFTREK on Other Drugs 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) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Substrates Unless otherwise recommended in the BCRP substrate Prescribing Information, monitor more frequently for adverse reactions with concomitant use of ALYFTREK with BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes 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) ] . Concomitant use of ALYFTREK with CYP2C9 substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically. 7.3 Drugs with No Clinically Significant Interactions with ALYFTREK 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 combinatio…

8.1 Pregnancy 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. In the U.S. 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 : In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered vanzacaftor at oral doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6-17. Vanzacaftor did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 30 times the MRHD (based on AUC for vanzacaftor at maternal doses up to 10 mg/kg/day). In an EFD study, pregnant rabbits were administered vanzacaftor at oral doses of 10, 40, and 70 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 7-20. Vanzacaftor did not cause adverse effects to the fetus at exposures up to 22 times the MRHD (based on AUC of vanzacaftor at maternal doses up to 40 mg/kg/day). The high dose of 70 mg/kg/day (71 times the exposure at the MRHD) produced maternal toxicity (i.e., mortality, abortion, decreased mean body weight or body weight gains) and was associated with findings of increased post-implantation loss, decreased live fetuses, decreased fetal body weight, and increased kidney malformations. In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND) study in pregnant rats administered vanzacaftor at oral doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day from gestation Day 6 through lactation Day 18, vanzacaftor did not cause adverse developmental effects in pups at maternal doses up to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 18 times the exposure at the MRHD). Placental transfer of vanzacaftor was observed in pregnant rats. Tezacaftor: In an EFD study, pregnant rats were administered tezacaftor at oral doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation Days 6-17. T…

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Liver Failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Patients Who Discontinued or Interrupted Elexacaftor-, Tezacaftor-, or Ivacaftor-Containing Drugs Due to Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Intracranial Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Neuropsychiatric Events, Including Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Cataracts [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Most common adverse reactions to ALYFTREK (≥5% of patients and at a frequency higher than ELX/TEZ/IVA by ≥1%) were cough, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, oropharyngeal pain, influenza, fatigue, increased ALT, rash, increased AST, and sinus congestion. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated at 1-877-634-8789 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience 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 variant who were able to tolerate ELX/TEZ/IVA. Adverse reactions data in patients who previously discontinued or interrupted ELX/TEZ/IVA due to adverse reactions are not available . 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 variant or another responsive variant in the CFTR gene in two, 52-week, active-controlled trials (Trials 1 and 2) [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. In both trials, patients received a fixed-dose combination drug containing elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) in a 4-week run-in period and then were subsequently randomized to continue ELX/TEZ/IVA (elexacaftor 200 mg/tezacaftor 100 mg/ivacaftor 150 mg in the morning and ivacaftor 150 mg in the evening) or receive ALYFTREK (vanzacaftor 20 mg/tezacaftor 100 mg/deutivacaftor 250 mg) once daily. Patients with a history of prior intolerance to ELX/TEZ/IVA (i.e., patients who discontinued or interrupted treatment due to adverse reactions) were excluded. Trials 1 and 2 were not designed to evaluate meaningful comparisons of the incidence of adverse reactions between the ALYFTREK and ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment groups. For additional information regarding ELX/TEZ/IVA adverse reactions, refer to ELX/TEZ/IVA Prescribing Information. In Trial 1 and Trial 2 combined, the proportion of patients who discontinued treatment prematurely due to adverse reactions were 3.8% and 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 (0.4%). Table 3: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥5% of ALYFTREK-Treated Patients and ≥1% Higher than ELX/TEZ/IVA-Treated Patients Aged 12 Years and Older with CF Who Had at Least One F508del Variant or Responsive Variant in the CFTR Gene (Trials 1 and 2) Adverse Reactions ALYFTREK N=480 ELX/TEZ/IVA N=491 Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ELX, elexacaftor; IVA, ivacaftor; TEZ, tezacaftor Cough Cough is composed of several similar terms including productive cough. 120 (25%) 116 (24%) Nasopharyngitis 102 (21%) 95 (19%) Upper respiratory tract infection Upper respir…
