Granules in sachet (granules)

White to off-white granules approximately 2 mm in diameter.

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Kaftrio granules are indicated in a combination regimen with ivacaftor for the treatment of cystic fibrosis(CF) in paediatric patients aged 2 to less than 6 years who have at least one non-Class I mutation in thecystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (see sections 4.2 and 5.1).

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Kaftrio should only be prescribed by healthcare professionals with experience in the treatment of CF. Ifthe patient’s genotype is unknown, an accurate and validated genotyping method should be performed toconfirm the presence of at least one CFTR mutation that is responsive based on clinical and/or in vitro data(using a genotype assay) (see section 5.1). Kaftrio should only be used in patients diagnosed with CF. Adiagnosis of CF should be made based on diagnostic guidelines and clinical judgement.

There are a limited number of patients who harbour mutations not listed in Table 5 that may be responsiveto Kaftrio. In these cases, Kaftrio can be considered when the physician deems the potential benefitsoutweigh the potential risks and under close medical supervision. This excludes patients with two Class I(null) mutations (mutations that are known not to produce CFTR protein) as they are not expected torespond to modulator therapy (see sections 4.1, pct. 4.4, and 5.1).

Monitoring of transaminases (ALT and AST) and total bilirubin is recommended for all patients prior toinitiating treatment, every 3 months during the first year of treatment and annually thereafter. For patientswith a history of liver disease or transaminase elevations, more frequent monitoring should be considered(see section 4.4).

Posology

Paediatric patients aged 2 to less than 6 years should be dosed according to Table 1.

Table 1: Dosing recommendations for patients aged 2 to less than 6 years

The morning and evening dose should be taken approximately 12 hours apart, with fat-containing food(see Method of administration).

Missed dose

If 6 hours or less have passed since the missed morning or evening dose, the patient should take themissed dose as soon as possible and continue on the original schedule.

If more than 6 hours have passed since:

* the missed morning dose, the patient should take the missed dose as soon as possible and should nottake the evening dose. The next scheduled morning dose should be taken at the usual time.

OR

* the missed evening dose, the patient should not take the missed dose. The next scheduled morningdose should be taken at the usual time.

Morning and evening doses should not be taken at the same time.

Concomitant use of CYP3A inhibitors

When co-administered with moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole, erythromycin, verapamil) orstrong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, telithromycin, andclarithromycin), the dose should be reduced as in Table 2 (see sections 4.4 and 4.5).

Special populations
Hepatic impairment

Treatment of patients aged 2 to less than 6 years with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B)is not recommended. For patients aged 2 to less than 6 years with moderate hepatic impairment, the use of

Kaftrio should only be considered when there is a clear medical need, and the benefits are expected tooutweigh the risks. If used, it should be used with caution at a reduced dose (see Table 3).

Studies have not been conducted in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C), but theexposure is expected to be higher than in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Patients with severehepatic impairment should not be treated with Kaftrio.

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) hepatic impairment (see

Table 3) (see sections 4.4, pct. 4.8, and 5.2).

Renal impairment

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild and moderate renal impairment. There is noexperience in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).

Paediatric population

The safety and efficacy of Kaftrio in combination with ivacaftor (IVA) in children aged less than 2 yearshave not yet been established. No data are available.

Method of administration

For oral use. The entire contents of each sachet of granules should be mixed with one teaspoon (5 mL) ofage-appropriate soft food or liquid and the mixture completely consumed. Food or liquid should be atroom temperature or below. Each sachet is for single use only. Once mixed, the product has been shown tobe stable for one hour, and therefore should be ingested during this period. Some examples of soft food orliquids include pureed fruits or vegetables, yogurt, water, milk, or juice. A fat-containing meal or snackshould be consumed just before or after dosing.

Kaftrio should be taken with fat-containing food. Examples of meals or snacks that contain fat are thoseprepared with butter or oils or those containing eggs, cheeses, nuts, whole milk, or meats (see section 5.2).

Food or drink containing grapefruit should be avoided during treatment with Kaftrio (see section 4.5).

4.3 Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Elevated transaminases and hepatic injury

Cases of liver failure leading to transplantation have been reported within the first 6 months of treatmentin patients with and without pre-existing advanced liver disease.

Elevated transaminases are common in patients with CF. In clinical studies, elevated transaminases weremore frequently observed in patients treated with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA compared toplacebo. In patients taking IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA, these elevations have sometimesbeen associated with concomitant elevations in total bilirubin. Assessments of transaminases (ALT and

AST) and total bilirubin are recommended for all patients prior to initiating treatment, every 3 monthsduring the first year of treatment and annually thereafter (see section 4.2).

For patients with a history of liver disease or transaminase elevations, more frequent monitoring should beconsidered.

Interrupt treatment and promptly measure serum transaminases and total bilirubin if a patient developsclinical signs or symptoms of liver injury. Interrupt dosing in the event of ALT or AST >5 × the upperlimit of normal (ULN), or ALT or AST >3 × ULN with total bilirubin >2 × ULN. Closely monitor thelaboratory tests until the abnormalities resolve. Following resolution, consider the benefits and risks ofresuming treatment. Patients who resume treatment after interruption should be monitored closely.

In patients with pre-existing advanced liver disease, IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA should beused with caution and only if the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks (see sections 4.2, pct. 4.8, and5.2).

Hepatic impairment

Treatment of patients with moderate hepatic impairment is not recommended. For patients with moderatehepatic impairment, the use of IVA/TEZ/ELX should only be considered when there is a clear medicalneed, and the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks. If used, it should be used with caution at areduced dose (see Table 3).

Patients with severe hepatic impairment should not be treated with IVA/TEZ/ELX (see sections 4.2,4.8, and 5.2).

Depression

Depression (including suicidal ideation and suicide attempt) has been reported in patients treated with

IVA/TEZ/ELX, usually occurring within three months of treatment initiation and in patients with ahistory of psychiatric disorders (see section 4.8). In some cases, symptom improvement was reported afterdose reduction or treatment discontinuation. Patients (and caregivers) should be alerted about the need tomonitor for depressed mood, suicidal thoughts, unusual changes in behaviour, anxiety, or insomnia and toseek medical advice immediately if these symptoms present.

Paediatric population

In young children (aged 2-5 years) treated with IVA/TEZ/ELX behavioural changes have been reported,which occurred usually within the first two months of treatment initiation. In some cases, symptomimprovement was reported after treatment discontinuation.

Renal impairment

There is no experience in patients with severe renal impairment/end-stage renal disease therefore cautionis recommended in this population (see sections 4.2 and 5.2).

Mutations unlikely to respond to modulator therapy

Patients with a genotype consisting of two CFTR mutations that are known not to produce CFTR protein(i.e., two Class I mutations) are not expected to respond to Kaftrio treatment.

Clinical studies comparing IVA/TEZ/ELX to TEZ/IVA or IVA

No clinical study has been conducted to directly compare IVA/TEZ/ELX to TEZ/IVA or IVA in patientsnot harbouring F508del variants.

Patients after organ transplantation

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA has not been studied in patients with CF who have undergoneorgan transplantation. Therefore, use in transplanted patients is not recommended. See section 4.5 forinteractions with commonly used immunosuppressants.

Rash events

Rash events typically occur during the first month of therapy. Most events were mild to moderate inseverity and in rare cases, rash was associated with additional symptoms such as fever or facial swelling.

In the majority of cases, administration of IVA/TEZ/ELX was continued and the rash resolved withouttreatment. Children have a higher incidence rate compared to adults. The incidence of rash events was alsohigher in females compared to males, particularly in females taking hormonal contraceptives (see section4.8). A role for hormonal contraceptives in the occurrence of rash cannot be excluded. For patients takinghormonal contraceptives who develop rash, interrupting treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combinationwith IVA and hormonal contraceptives should be considered. Following the resolution of rash, it should beconsidered if resuming IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA without hormonal contraceptives isappropriate. If rash does not recur, resumption of hormonal contraceptives can be considered (see section4.8).

Elderly

Clinical studies of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA did not include sufficient number of patientsaged 65 years and older to determine whether response in these patients is different from younger adults.

Dose recommendations are based on the pharmacokinetic profile and knowledge from studies withtezacaftor/ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) in combination with IVA, and IVA monotherapy (see section 5.2).

Interactions with medicinal products
CYP3A inducers

Exposure to IVA is significantly decreased and exposures to ELX and TEZ are expected to decrease bythe concomitant use of CYP3A inducers, potentially resulting in the reduced efficacy of IVA/TEZ/ELXand IVA; therefore, co-administration with strong CYP3A inducers is not recommended (see section 4.5).

CYP3A inhibitors

Exposures of ELX, TEZ and IVA are increased when co-administered with strong or moderate CYP3Ainhibitors. The dose of IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA should be adjusted when used concomitantly with strongor moderate CYP3A inhibitors (see section 4.5 and Table 2 in section 4.2).

Cataracts

Cases of non-congenital lens opacities without impact on vision have been reported in paediatric patientstreated with IVA-containing regimens. Although other risk factors were present in some cases (such ascorticosteroid use, exposure to radiation) a possible risk attributable to treatment with IVA cannot beexcluded. Baseline and follow-up ophthalmological examinations are recommended in paediatric patientsinitiating treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA (see section 5.3).

Excipients with known effect
Lactose

This medicinal product contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance,total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal product.

Sodium

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per sachet, that is to say essentially‘sodium-free’.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Medicinal products affecting the pharmacokinetics of ELX, TEZ and/or IVA
CYP3A inducers

ELX, TEZ and IVA are substrates of CYP3A (IVA is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A). Concomitant useof strong CYP3A inducers may result in reduced exposures and thus reduced IVA/TEZ/ELX efficacy.

Co-administration of IVA with rifampicin, a strong CYP3A inducer, significantly decreased IVA areaunder the curve (AUC) by 89%. ELX and TEZ exposures are also expected to decrease duringco-administration with strong CYP3A inducers; therefore, co-administration with strong CYP3A inducersis not recommended (see section 4.4).

Examples of strong CYP3A inducers include:

* rifampicin, rifabutin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St. John’s wort (Hypericumperforatum)

CYP3A inhibitors

Co-administration with itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased ELX AUC by 2.8-fold and TEZ

AUC by 4.0- to 4.5-fold. When co-administered with itraconazole and ketoconazole, IVA AUC increasedby 15.6-fold and 8.5-fold, respectively. The dose of IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA should be reduced when co-administered with strong CYP3A inhibitors (see Table 2 in section 4.2 and section 4.4).

Examples of strong CYP3A inhibitors include:

* ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole

* telithromycin and clarithromycin

Simulations indicated that co-administration with moderate CYP3A inhibitors fluconazole, erythromycinand verapamil, may increase ELX and TEZ AUC by approximately 1.9- to 2.3-fold. Co-administration offluconazole increased IVA AUC by 2.9-fold. The dose of IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA should be reducedwhen co-administered with moderate CYP3A inhibitors (see Table 2 in section 4.2 and section 4.4).

Examples of moderate CYP3A inhibitors include:

* fluconazole

* erythromycin

Co-administration with grapefruit juice, which contains one or more components that moderately inhibit

CYP3A, may increase exposure of ELX, TEZ and IVA. Food or drink containing grapefruit should beavoided during treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA (see section 4.2).

Ciprofloxacin

ELX/TEZ/IVA was not evaluated for concomitant use with ciprofloxacin. However, ciprofloxacin had noclinically relevant effect on the exposure of TEZ or IVA and is not expected to have a clinically relevanteffect on the exposure of ELX. Therefore, no dose adjustment is necessary during concomitantadministration of IVA/TEZ/ELX with ciprofloxacin.

Potential for interaction with transporters

In vitro studies showed that ELX is a substrate for the efflux transporters P-gp and Breast Cancer

Resistance Protein (BCRP) but is not a substrate for OATP1B1 or OATP1B3. Exposure to ELX is notexpected to be affected significantly by concomitant use of P-gp and BCRP inhibitors due to its highintrinsic permeability and low likelihood of being excreted intact.

In vitro studies showed that TEZ is a substrate for the uptake transporter OATP1B1 and efflux transporters

P-gp and BCRP. TEZ is not a substrate for OATP1B3. Exposure to TEZ is not expected to be affectedsignificantly by concomitant inhibitors of OATP1B1, P-gp, or BCRP due to its high intrinsic permeabilityand low likelihood of being excreted intact. However, exposure to M2-TEZ (TEZ metabolite) may beincreased by inhibitors of P-gp. Therefore, caution should be used when P-gp inhibitors (e.g., ciclosporin)are used with IVA/TEZ/ELX.

In vitro studies showed that IVA is not a substrate for OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or P-gp. IVA and itsmetabolites are substrates of BCRP in vitro. Due to its high intrinsic permeability and low likelihood ofbeing excreted intact, co-administration of BCRP inhibitors is not expected to alter exposure of IVA and

M1-IVA, while any potential changes in M6-IVA exposures are not expected to be clinically relevant.

Medicinal products affected by ELX, TEZ and/or IVA
CYP2C9 substrates

IVA may inhibit CYP2C9; therefore, monitoring of the international normalised ratio (INR) duringco-administration of warfarin with IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA is recommended. Other medicinal products forwhich exposure may be increased include glimepiride and glipizide; these medicinal products should beused with caution.

Potential for interaction with transporters

Co-administration of IVA or TEZ/IVA with digoxin, a sensitive P-gp substrate, increased digoxin AUC by1.3-fold, consistent with weak inhibition of P-gp by IVA. Administration of IVA/TEZ/ELX and IVA mayincrease systemic exposure of medicinal products that are sensitive substrates of P-gp, which may increaseor prolong their therapeutic effect and adverse reactions. When used concomitantly with digoxin or othersubstrates of P-gp with a narrow therapeutic index such as ciclosporin, everolimus, sirolimus andtacrolimus, caution and appropriate monitoring should be used.

ELX and M23-ELX inhibit uptake by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 in vitro. TEZ/IVA increased the AUC ofpitavastatin, an OATP1B1 substrate, by 1.2-fold. Co-administration with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combinationwith IVA may increase exposures of medicinal products that are substrates of these transporters, such asstatins, glyburide, nateglinide and repaglinide. When used concomitantly with substrates of OATP1B1 or

OATP1B3, caution and appropriate monitoring should be used. Bilirubin is an OATP1B1 and OATP1B3substrate. In study 445-102, mild increases in mean total bilirubin were observed (up to 4.0 µmol/Lchange from baseline). This finding is consistent with the in vitro inhibition of bilirubin transporters

OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 by ELX and M23-ELX.

ELX and IVA are inhibitors of BCRP. Co-administration of IVA/TEZ/ELX, and IVA may increaseexposures of medicinal products that are substrates of BCRP, such as rosuvastatin. When usedconcomitantly with substrates of BCRP, appropriate monitoring should be used.

Hormonal contraceptives

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA has been studied with ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel and wasfound to have no clinically relevant effect on the exposures of the oral contraceptive. IVA/TEZ/ELX and

IVA is not expected to have an impact on the efficacy of oral contraceptives.

Paediatric population

Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

A moderate amount of data on pregnant women (between 300-1000 pregnancy outcomes) indicate nomalformative or feto/neonatal toxicity of ELX, TEZ, or IVA in pregnant women. Animal studies do notindicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). As aprecautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of IVA/TEZ/ELX during pregnancy.

Breast-feeding

Limited data show that ELX, TEZ, and IVA are excreted in human milk and have been quantified inplasma of breastfed newborns/infants of treated women. There is insufficient information on the effects of

IVA/TEZ/ELX in newborns/infants. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or todiscontinue/abstain from IVA/TEZ/ELX therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for thechild and the benefit of therapy for the woman.

Fertility

There are no data available on the effect of ELX, TEZ and IVA on fertility in humans. TEZ had no effectson fertility and reproductive performance indices in male and female rats at clinically relevant exposures.

ELX and IVA had an effect on fertility in rats (see section 5.3).

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA has a minor influence on the ability to drive or use machines.

Dizziness has been reported in patients receiving IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA, TEZ/IVA incombination with IVA as well as IVA (see section 4.8). Patients experiencing dizziness should be advisednot to drive or use machines until symptoms abate.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

The most common adverse reactions experienced by patients aged 12 years and older who received

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA were headache (17.3%), diarrhoea (12.9%), upper respiratorytract infection (11.9%) and aminotransferase increased (10.9%).

Serious adverse reactions of rash experienced by patients aged 12 years and older were reported in 1.5%patients treated with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA (see section 4.4).

Description of selected adverse reactions
Transaminase elevations

In study 445-102, the incidence of maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) >8, >5, or >3 × the ULN was1.5%, 2.5% and 7.9% in IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients and 1.0%, 1.5% and 5.5% in placebo-treatedpatients. The incidence of adverse reactions of transaminase elevations was 10.9% in

IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients and 4.0% in placebo-treated patients.

During the open-label studies, some patients discontinued treatment due to elevated transaminases. Post-marketing cases of treatment discontinuation due to elevated transaminases have been reported (seesection 4.4).

Rash events

Studies in IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients above 12 years of age showed an incidence of rash events (e.g.,rash, rash pruritic) of 10.9% (study 445-102) compared to 6.5% in placebo-treated patients. The paediatricpopulation showed a higher incidence rate (see section Paediatric population for further details). Theincidence of rash events by patient sex was 5.8% in males and 16.3% in females in IVA/TEZ/ELX-treatedpatients and 4.8% in males and 8.3% in females in placebo-treated patients. In patients treated with

IVA/TEZ/ELX, the incidence of rash events was 20.5% in females taking hormonal contraceptive and13.6% in females not taking hormonal contraceptive (see section 4.4).

Overall, rash events typically occur during the first month of therapy. Most events were mild to moderatein severity, and in rare cases, rash was associated with additional symptoms such as fever or facialswelling. In the majority of cases, administration of IVA/TEZ/ELX was continued and the rash resolvedwithout treatment.

Increased creatine phosphokinase

In study 445-102, the incidence of maximum creatine phosphokinase >5 × the ULN was 10.4% in

IVA/TEZ/ELX- and 5.0% in placebo-treated patients. The observed creatine phosphokinase elevationswere generally transient and asymptomatic and many were preceded by exercise.

Increased blood pressure

In study 445-102, the maximum increase from baseline in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was3.5 mmHg and 1.9 mmHg, respectively for IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients (baseline: 113 mmHg systolicand 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 or diastolic blood pressure>90 mmHg on at least two occasions was 5.0% and 3.0%, respectively in IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patientscompared with 3.5% and 3.5%, respectively in placebo-treated patients.

Paediatric population

The safety data of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA in studies 445-102, 445-103, 445-104, 445-106, 445-111, and 445-124 and was evaluated in 272 patients between 2 to less than 18 years of age. Thesafety profile is generally consistent among paediatric and adult patients.

During study 445-106 in patients aged 6 to less than 12 years, the incidence of maximum transaminase(ALT or AST) >8, >5, and >3 × ULN were 0.0%, 1.5%, and 10.6%, respectively. No

IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients had transaminase elevation >3 × ULN associated with elevated totalbilirubin >2 × ULN or discontinued treatment due to transaminase elevations (see section 4.4).

During study 445-111 in patients aged 2 to less than 6 years, the incidence of maximum transaminase(ALT or AST) >8, >5, and >3 × ULN were 1.3%, 2.7%, and 8.0% respectively. No IVA/TEZ/ELX-treatedpatients had transaminase elevation >3 × ULN associated with elevated total bilirubin >2 × ULN ordiscontinued treatment due to transaminase elevations (see section 4.4).

Rash

While studies in patients above 12 years of age showed an incidence rate of 10.9% (study 445-102),patients between 6 and 11 years of age had an incidence rate of 24.2% (study 445-106). During study445-111 in patients aged 2 to less than 6 years, 15 (20.0%) subjects had at least 1 rash event, 4 (9.8%)females and 11 (32.4%) males.

Lenticular opacity

One patient had an adverse event of lenticular opacity.

Behavioural changes

Most cases of behavioural changes have been reported in younger children aged 2-5 years.

Other special populations

With the exception of sex differences in rash, the safety profile of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with

IVA was generally similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, baseline percentpredicted forced expiratory volume in one second (ppFEV1) and geographic regions.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allowscontinued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals areasked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

No specific antidote is available for overdose with IVA/TEZ/ELX. Treatment of overdose consists ofgeneral supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the clinical status ofthe patient.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other respiratory system products, ATC code: R07AX32

Mechanism of action

ELX and TEZ are CFTR correctors that bind to different sites on the CFTR protein and have an additiveeffect in facilitating the cellular processing and trafficking of CFTR to increase the amount of CFTRprotein delivered to the cell surface compared to either molecule alone. IVA potentiates the channel openprobability (or gating) of the CFTR protein at the cell surface.

The combined effect of ELX, TEZ and IVA is increased quantity and function of CFTR at the cell surface,resulting in increased CFTR activity as measured by CFTR mediated chloride transport.

CFTR Chloride Transport Assay in Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cells expressing mutant CFTR

The chloride transport response of mutant CFTR protein to IVA/TEZ/ELX was determined in Ussingchamber electrophysiology studies using a panel of FRT cell lines transfected with individual CFTRmutations. IVA/TEZ/ELX increased chloride transport in FRT cells expressing select CFTR mutations.

The in vitro CFTR chloride transport response threshold was designated as a net increase of at least 10%of normal over baseline because it is predictive or reasonably expected to predict clinical response. Forindividual mutations, the magnitude of the net change over baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transportin vitro is not correlated with the magnitude of clinical response.

In CF, the presence of one CFTR mutation responsive to IVA/TEZ/ELX based on in vitro data in FRTcells, will likely result in a clinical response.

Table 5 lists CFTR mutations included in the indication for treatment with Kaftrio. The occurrence of

CFTR mutations listed in this table should not be used in lieu of a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, nor as a soledeterminant for prescribing purposes.

There are people with CF harbouring two rare, non-F508del CFTR mutations not listed in Table 5. Provided that they donot harbour two Class I (null) mutations (mutations that are known not to produce CFTR protein) (see section 4.1), theymay respond to treatment. In these cases, Kaftrio can be considered when the physician deems the potential benefitsoutweigh the potential risks and under close medical supervision.

The individual diagnosis of CF should be based on diagnostic guidelines and clinical judgement as considerable variabilityexists in phenotype for patients harbouring the same genotype.

⁎ Mutations supported by clinical data.† Mutations supported by Real-World data in ≥ 5 patients.‡ Complex/compound mutations where a single allele of the CFTR gene has multiple mutations; these exist independent ofthe presence of mutations on the other allele.

Non-annotated mutations are included based on the FRT assay in which a positive response is indicative of a clinicalresponse.

Pharmacodynamic effects
Effects on sweat chloride

In study 445-102 (patients with an F508del mutation on one allele and a mutation on the second allele thatpredicts either no production of a CFTR protein or a CFTR protein that does not transport chloride and isnot responsive to other CFTR modulators [IVA and TEZ/IVA] in vitro), a reduction in sweat chloride wasobserved from baseline at week 4 and sustained through the 24-week treatment period. The treatmentdifference of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA compared to placebo for mean absolute change insweat chloride from baseline through week 24 was -41.8 mmol/L (95% CI: -44.4, -39.3; P < 0.0001).

In study 445-103 (patients homozygous for the F508del mutation), the treatment difference of

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA compared to TEZ/IVA in combination with IVA for meanabsolute change in sweat chloride from baseline at week 4 was -45.1 mmol/L (95% CI: -50.1, -40.1;

P < 0.0001).

In study 445-104 (patients heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a mutation on the second allele witha gating defect or residual CFTR activity), the mean absolute change in sweat chloride from baselinethrough week 8 for the IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA group was -22.3 mmol/L (95% CI: -24.5,

- 20.2; P < 0.0001). The treatment difference of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA compared to thecontrol group (IVA group or TEZ/IVA in combination with IVA group) was -23.1 mmol/L(95% CI: -26.1, -20.1; P < 0.0001).

In study 445-106 (patients aged 6 to less than 12 years who are homozygous for the F508del mutation orheterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation), the mean absolute change insweat chloride from baseline (n=62) through week 24 (n=60) was -60.9 mmol/L (95% CI: -63.7, -58.2)*.

The mean absolute change in sweat chloride from baseline through week 12 (n=59) was -58.6 mmol/L(95% CI: -61.1, -56.1).

* Not all participants included in the analyses had data available for all follow-up visits, especially fromweek 16 onwards. The ability to collect data at week 24 was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Week12 data were less impacted by the pandemic.

In study 445-116 (patients aged 6 to less than 12 years who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation anda minimal function mutation), treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA resulted inreduction in sweat chloride through week 24, as compared to placebo. The LS mean treatment differencefor the IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA group versus placebo for absolute change in sweatchloride from baseline through week 24 was -51.2 mmol/L (95% CI: -55.3, -47.1; nominal P < 0.0001).

In study 445-111 (patients aged 2 to less than 6 years who are homozygous for the F508del mutation orheterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation), the mean absolute change insweat chloride from baseline through week 24 was -57.9 mmol/L (95% CI: -61.3, -54.6).

In study 445-124 (patients aged 6 years and older with a qualifying non-F508del, IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive CFTR mutation [see Table 6]), the mean absolute change in sweat chloride from baselinethrough week 24 compared to placebo was -28.3 mmol/L (95% CI: -32.1, -24.5 mmol/L; P < 0.0001).

Cardiovascular effects
Effect on QT interval

At doses up to 2 times the maximum recommended dose of ELX and 3 times the maximum recommendeddose of TEZ and IVA, the QT/QTc interval in healthy subjects was not prolonged to any clinicallyrelevant extent.

Heart rate

In study 445-102, mean decreases in heart rate of 3.7 to 5.8 beats per minute (bpm) from baseline(76 bpm) were observed in IVA/TEZ/ELX-treated patients.

Clinical efficacy and safety

The efficacy of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA in patients with CF was demonstrated in sevenphase 3 studies. Patients enrolled in these studies were homozygous for the F508del mutation orheterozygous for the F508del mutation and a mutation with minimal function (MF), a gating defect, orresidual CFTR activity on the second allele. Study 445-124 enrolled patients who had at least onequalifying non-F508del, IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive CFTR mutation (see Table 6).

Study 445-102 was a 24-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients who had an

F508del mutation on one allele and an MF mutation on the second allele. CF patients eligible for thisstudy were required to either have Class I mutations that predicted no CFTR protein being produced(including nonsense mutations, canonical splice mutations and insertion/deletion frameshift mutationsboth small (≤3 nucleotide) and non-small (>3 nucleotide)), or missense mutations which results in CFTRprotein that does not transport chloride and is not responsive to IVA and TEZ/IVA in vitro. The mostfrequent alleles with minimal function assessed in the study were G542X, W1282X, R553X, and R1162X;621+1G→T, 1717-1G→A, and 1898+1G→A; 3659delC, and 394delTT; CFTRdele2,3; and N1303K,

I507del, G85E, R347P, and R560T. A total of 403 patients aged 12 years and older (mean age 26.2 years)were randomised and dosed to receive placebo or IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA. Patients had appFEV1 at screening between 40-90%. The mean ppFEV1 at baseline was 61.4% (range: 32.3%, 97.1%).

Study 445-103 was a 4-week, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled study in patients who werehomozygous for the F508del mutation. A total of 107 patients aged 12 years and older (mean age28.4 years) received TEZ/IVA in combination with IVA during a 4-week open-label run-in period andwere then randomised and dosed to receive either IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA or TEZ/IVA incombination with IVA during a 4-week double-blind treatment period. Patients had a ppFEV1 at screeningbetween 40-90%. The mean ppFEV1 at baseline, following the run-in period was 60.9% (range: 35.0%,89.0%).

Study 445-104 was an 8-week, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled study in patients who wereheterozygous for the F508del mutation and a mutation on the second allele with a gating defect (Gating)or residual CFTR activity (RF). A total of 258 patients aged 12 years and older (mean age 37.7 years)received either IVA (F/Gating) or TEZ/IVA in combination with IVA (F/RF) during a 4-week open-labelrun-in period and patients with the F/R117H genotype received IVA during the run-in period. Patientswere then randomised and dosed to receive either IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA or remained onthe CFTR modulator therapy received during the run-in period. Patients had a ppFEV1 at screeningbetween 40-90%. The mean ppFEV1 at baseline, following the run-in period, was 67.6% (range: 29.7%,113.5%).

Study 445-106 was a 24-week open-label study in patients who were homozygous for the F508delmutation or heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation. A total of 66 patientsaged 6 to less than 12 years (mean age at baseline 9.3 years) were dosed according to weight.

Patients who received IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVAweighing <30 kg at baseline were administered two IVA 37.5 mg/TEZ 25 mg/ELX 50 mg tablets in themorning and one IVA 75 mg tablet in the evening. Patients weighing ≥30 kg at baseline were administeredtwo IVA 75 mg/TEZ 50 mg/ELX 100 mg tablets in the morning and one IVA 150 mg tablet in theevening. At screening, patients had a ppFEV1 ≥70% [mean ppFEV1 at baseline of 89.3% (range: 44.6%,121.8%)], LCI2.5 result ≥7.5 [mean LCI2.5 at baseline of 10.01 (range: 6.91, 18.36)], and weighed ≥15 kg.

Study 445-111 was a 24-week open-label study in patients aged 2 to less than 6 years (mean age atbaseline 4.1 years). A total of 75 patients who are homozygous for the F508del mutation or heterozygousfor the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation were enrolled and dosed according to weight.

Patients weighing 10 kg to <14 kg at baseline were administered IVA 60 mg/TEZ 40 mg/ELX 80 mg onceevery morning and IVA 59.5 mg once every evening. Patients weighing ≥14 kg at baseline wereadministered IVA 75 mg every 12 hours/TEZ 50 mg qd/ELX 100 mg qd.

The mean ppFEV1 at baseline was 67.7% (range: 34.0%, 108.7%).

Patients in these studies continued on their CF therapies (e.g., bronchodilators, inhaled antibiotics, dornasealfa and hypertonic saline), but discontinued any previous CFTR modulator therapies, except for studymedicinal products. Patients had a confirmed diagnosis of CF.

Study CFD-016 was an observational, retrospective study evaluating Real-World clinical outcomes inpatients aged 6 years and older. Patients had at least one IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive mutation and did nothave an F508del mutation. A total of 422 patients were evaluated with a total of 82 IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive non-F508del mutations represented. The mean ppFEV1 at baseline was 74.15%.

In studies 445-102, 445-103, 445-104, 445-106, 445-111, and 445-124 patients continued their CFtherapies, but discontinued any previous CFTR modulator therapies, except for study medicinal products.

Patients who had lung infection with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status,including but not limited to Burkholderia cenocepacia, Burkholderia dolosa, or Mycobacteriumabscessus, or who had an abnormal liver function test at screening (ALT, AST, ALP, or GGT ≥3 × ULN,or total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN), were excluded. In study 445-111, patients who had ALT or AST ≥2 × ULNwere also excluded.

Patients in studies 445-102 and 445-103 were eligible to roll over into a 192-week open-label extensionstudy (study 445-105). Patients in studies 445-104, 445-106, 445-116, 445-111, and 445-124 were eligibleto roll over into separate open-label extension studies.

Study 445-102

In study 445-102 the primary endpoint was mean absolute change in ppFEV1 from baseline throughweek 24. Treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA compared to placebo resulted instatistically significant improvement in ppFEV1 of 14.3 percentage points (95% CI: 12.7, 15.8;

P < 0.0001) (see Table 7). Mean improvement in ppFEV1 was observed at the first assessment on day 15and sustained through the 24-week treatment period. Improvements in ppFEV1 were observed regardlessof age, baseline ppFEV1, sex, and geographic region.

A total of 18 patients receiving IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA had ppFEV1 <40 percentagepoints at baseline. The safety and efficacy in this subgroup were consistent to those observed in the overallpopulation. The mean treatment difference of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA- compared toplacebo-treated patients for absolute change in ppFEV1 through week 24 in this subgroup was18.4 percentage points (95% CI: 11.5, 25.3).

Study 445-104

In study 445-104 the primary endpoint was within-group mean absolute change in ppFEV1 from baselinethrough week 8 for the IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA group. Treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX incombination with IVA resulted in statistically significant improvement in ppFEV1 from baseline of3.7 percentage points (95% CI: 2.8, pct. 4.6; P < 0.0001) (see Table 9). Overall improvements in ppFEV1 wereobserved regardless of age, sex, baseline ppFEV1, geographic region, and genotype groups (F/Gating or

F/RF).

See Table 9 for a summary of primary and secondary outcomes in the overall trial population.

In a subgroup analysis of patients with an F/Gating genotype, the treatment difference of IVA/TEZ/ELXin combination with IVA (N=50) compared with IVA (N=45) for mean absolute change in ppFEV1 was5.8 percentage points (95% CI: 3.5, 8.0). In a subgroup analysis of patients with an F/RF genotype, thetreatment difference of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA (N=82) compared with TEZ/IVA incombination with IVA (N=81) for mean absolute change in ppFEV1 was 2.0 percentage points (95% CI:0.5, 3.4). The results of the F/Gating and the F/RF genotype subgroups for improvement in sweat chlorideand CFQ-R respiratory domain score were consistent with the overall results.

Study 445-107

Study 445-107 is a 192-week, two-part (part A and part B), open-label extension study to evaluate thesafety and efficacy of long-term treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in patients who completed study 445-106.

Efficacy endpoints were included as secondary endpoints. The final analysis of this study was conductedin 64 paediatric patients aged 6 years and older. With 192 additional weeks of treatment, sustainedimprovements in ppFEV1, SwCl, CFQ-R RD score, and LCI2.5 were shown, consistent with the resultsobserved in the study 445-106.

Study 445-116

In study 445-116 treatment with IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA in patients aged 6 to less than12 years resulted in statistically significant improvement through 24 weeks in the primary endpoint(LCI2.5). The LS mean treatment difference for the IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA group versusplacebo for the absolute change in LCI2.5 from baseline through week 24 was -2.26 (95% CI: -2.71, -1.81;

Study 445-124

In study 445-124, the safety and efficacy of IVA/TEZ/ELX in patients with CF aged 6 years and olderwithout an F508del mutation were evaluated. A post-hoc efficacy analysis was conducted in 31 patientsaged 6-12 years, of whom 23 patients received IVA/TEZ/ELX. The mean change (SD) from baseline was10.2% (16.2) for ppFEV1 and -37.7 (18.8) mmol/L for sweat chloride.

The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of studies with

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA in one or more subset of the paediatric population in cysticfibrosis (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

The pharmacokinetics of ELX, TEZ and IVA are similar between healthy adult subjects and patients with

CF. Following initiation of once-daily dosing of ELX and TEZ and twice-daily dosing of IVA, plasmaconcentrations of ELX, TEZ and IVA reach steady state within approximately 7 days for ELX, within8 days for TEZ, and within 3-5 days for IVA. Upon dosing IVA/TEZ/ELX to steady state, theaccumulation ratio is approximately 3.6 for ELX, 2.8 for TEZ and 4.7 for IVA. Key pharmacokineticparameters for ELX, TEZ and IVA at steady state in patients with CF aged 12 years and older are shownin Table 14.

* AUC0-24h for ELX and TEZ and AUC0-12h for IVA.

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability of ELX when administered orally in the fed state is approximately 80%. ELXis absorbed with a median (range) time to maximum concentration (tmax) of approximately 6 hours (4 to12 hours) while the median (range) tmax of TEZ and IVA is approximately 3 hours (2 to 4 hours) and 4hours (3 to 6 hours), respectively. ELX exposure (AUC) increases approximately 1.9- to 2.5-fold whenadministered with a moderate-fat meal relative to fasted conditions. IVA exposure increasesapproximately 2.5- to 4.0-fold when administered with fat-containing meals relative to fasted conditions,while food has no effect on the exposure of TEZ (see section 4.2).

As exposures of ELX were approximately 20% lower after administration of the IVA/TEZ/ELX granulesrelative to the reference IVA/TEZ/ELX tablet, the formulations are not considered interchangeable.

Distribution

ELX is >99% bound to plasma proteins and TEZ is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins, in bothcases primarily to albumin. IVA is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily to albumin,and also to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and human gamma-globulin. After oral administration of

IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA, the mean (±SD) apparent volume of distribution of ELX, TEZand IVA was 53.7 L (17.7), 82.0 L (22.3) and 293 L (89.8), respectively. ELX, TEZ and IVA do notpartition preferentially into human red blood cells.

Biotransformation

ELX is metabolised extensively in humans, mainly by CYP3A4/5. Following oral administration of asingle dose of 200 mg 14C-ELX to healthy male subjects, M23-ELX was the only major circulatingmetabolite. M23-ELX has similar potency to ELX and is considered pharmacologically active.

TEZ is metabolised extensively in humans, mainly by CYP3A4/5. Following oral administration of asingle dose of 100 mg 14C-TEZ to healthy male subjects, M1-TEZ, M2-TEZ and M5-TEZ were the threemajor circulating metabolites of TEZ in humans. M1-TEZ has similar potency to that of TEZ and isconsidered pharmacologically active. M2-TEZ is much less pharmacologically active than TEZ or

M1-TEZ and M5-TEZ is not considered pharmacologically active. Another minor circulating metabolite,

M3-TEZ, is formed by direct glucuronidation of TEZ.

IVA is also metabolised extensively in humans. In vitro and in vivo data indicate that IVA is metabolisedprimarily by CYP3A4/5. M1-IVA and M6-IVA are the two major metabolites of IVA in humans. M1-IVAhas approximately one-sixth the potency of IVA and is considered pharmacologically active. M6-IVA isnot considered pharmacologically active.

The effect of the CYP3A4*22 heterozygous genotype on TEZ, IVA and ELX exposure is consistent withthe effect of co-administration of a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor, which is not clinically relevant. No dose-adjustment of TEZ, IVA or ELX is considered necessary. The effect in CYP3A4*22 homozygousgenotype patients is expected to be stronger. However, no data are available for such patients.

Elimination

Following multiple dosing in the fed state, the mean (±SD) apparent clearance values of ELX, TEZ and

IVA at steady state were 1.18 (0.29) L/h, 0.79 (0.10) L/h and 10.2 (3.13) L/h, respectively. The mean (SD)terminal half-lives of ELX, TEZ and IVA following administration of the IVA/TEZ/ELX fixed-dosecombination tablets are approximately 24.7 (4.87) hours, 60.3 (15.7) hours and 13.1 (2.98) hours,respectively. The mean (SD) effective half-life of TEZ following administration of the IVA/TEZ/ELXfixed-dose combination tablets is 11.9 (3.79) hours.

Following oral administration of 14C-ELX alone, the majority of ELX (87.3%) was eliminated in thefaeces, primarily as metabolites.

Following oral administration of 14C-TEZ alone, the majority of the dose (72%) was excreted in the faeces(unchanged or as the M2-TEZ) and about 14% was recovered in urine (mostly as M2-TEZ), resulting in amean overall recovery of 86% up to 26 days after the dose.

Following oral administration of 14C-IVA alone, the majority of IVA (87.8%) was eliminated in the faecesafter metabolic conversion.

For ELX, TEZ and IVA there was negligible urinary excretion of unchanged medicine.

Hepatic impairment

ELX alone or in combination with TEZ and IVA has not been studied in subjects with severe hepaticimpairment (Child-Pugh Class C, score 10-15). Following multiple doses of ELX, TEZ and IVA for10 days, subjects with moderately impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh Class B, score 7-9) had anapproximately 25% higher AUC and a 12% higher Cmax for ELX, 73% higher AUC and a 70% higher Cmaxfor M23-ELX, 20% higher AUC but similar Cmax for TEZ, 22% lower AUC and a 20% lower Cmax for

M1-TEZ, and a 1.5-fold higher AUC and a 10% higher Cmax for IVA compared with healthy subjectsmatched for demographics. The effect of moderately impaired hepatic function on total exposure (basedon summed values of ELX and its M23-ELX metabolite) was 36% higher AUC and a 24% higher Cmaxcompared with healthy subjects matched for demographics (see sections 4.2, pct. 4.4, and 4.8).

Tezacaftor and ivacaftor

Following multiple doses of TEZ and IVA for 10 days, subjects with moderately impaired hepaticfunction had an approximately 36% higher AUC and a 10% higher Cmax for TEZ, and a 1.5-fold higher

AUC but similar Cmax for IVA compared with healthy subjects matched for demographics.

Ivacaftor

In a study with IVA alone, subjects with moderately impaired hepatic function had similar IVA Cmax, butan approximately 2.0-fold higher IVA AUC0-∞ compared with healthy subjects matched for demographics.

Renal impairment

ELX alone or in combination with TEZ and IVA has not been studied in patients with severe renalimpairment [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min] or in patients with end-stage renal disease.

In human pharmacokinetic studies of ELX, TEZ and IVA, there was minimal elimination of ELX, TEZand IVA in urine (only 0.23%, 13.7% [0.79% as unchanged medicine] and 6.6% of total radioactivity,respectively).

Based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, exposure of ELX was similar in patients with mildrenal impairment (N=75; eGFR 60 to less than 90 mL/min) relative to those with normal renal function(N=341; eGFR 90 mL/min or greater).

In population PK analysis conducted in 817 patients administered TEZ alone or in combination with IVAin phase 2 or phase 3 studies indicated that mild renal impairment (N=172; eGFR 60 to less than90 mL/min) and moderate renal impairment (N=8; eGFR 30 to less than 60 mL/min) did not affect theclearance of TEZ significantly (see sections 4.2 and 4.4).

Gender

The pharmacokinetic parameters of ELX (244 males compared to 174 females), TEZ and IVA are similarin males and females.

Race

Race had no clinically meaningful effect on ELX exposure based on population PK analysis in whites(N=373) and non-whites (N=45). The non-white races consisted of 30 Blacks or African Americans, 1with multiple racial background and 14 with other ethnic background (no Asians).

Very limited PK data indicate comparable exposure of TEZ in whites (N=652) and non-whites (N=8). Thenon-white races consisted of 5 Blacks or African Americans and 3 Native Hawaiians or other Pacific

Islanders.

Race had no clinically meaningful effect on the PK of IVA in whites (N=379) and non-whites (N=29)based on a population PK analysis. The non-white races consisted of 27 African Americans and 2 Asians.

Elderly

Clinical trials of IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA did not include sufficient number of patientsaged 65 years and older to determine whether response in these patients is different from younger adults(see section 4.4).

Paediatric population

ELX, TEZ and IVA exposures observed in phase 3 studies as determined using population PK analysis arepresented by age group in Table 15. Exposures of ELX, TEZ and IVA in patients aged 2 to less than18 years are within the range observed in patients aged 18 years and older.

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Elexacaftor

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safetypharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenic potential.

Fertility and pregnancy

The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for fertility findings was 55 mg/kg/day (2 times themaximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on summed AUCs of ELX and its metabolite) inmale rats and 25 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of ELX and its metabolite) infemale rats. In rat, at doses exceeding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), degeneration and atrophy ofseminiferous tubules are correlated to oligo-/aspermia and cellular debris in epididymides. In dog testes,minimal or mild, bilateral degeneration/atrophy of the seminiferous tubules was present in malesadministered 14 mg/kg/day ELX (15 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of ELX and itsmetabolite) that did not resolve during the recovery period, however without further sequelae. The humanrelevance of these findings is unknown.

ELX was not teratogenic in rats at 40 mg/kg/day and at 125 mg/kg/day in rabbits (approximately 9 and4 times, respectively, the MRHD based on summed AUCs of ELX and its metabolite [for rat] and AUC of

ELX [for rabbit]) with developmental findings being limited to lower mean foetal body weight at≥25 mg/kg/day.

Placental transfer of ELX was observed in pregnant rats.

Tezacaftor

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safetypharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, and toxicity to reproductionand development. Placental transfer of TEZ was observed in pregnant rats.

Juvenile toxicity studies in rats exposed during postnatal day 7 to 35 (PND 7-35) showed mortality andmoribundity, even at low doses. Findings were dose related and generally more severe when dosing withtezacaftor was initiated earlier in the postnatal period. Exposure in rats from PND 21-49 did not showtoxicity at the highest dose which was approximately two times the intended human exposure. Tezacaftorand its metabolite, M1-TEZ, are substrates for P-glycoprotein. Lower brain levels of P-glycoproteinactivity in younger rats resulted in higher brain levels of tezacaftor and M1-TEZ. These findings are likelynot relevant for the indicated paediatric population of 2 years of age and older, for whom P-glycoproteinexpression levels are equivalent to levels observed in adults.

Ivacaftor

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safetypharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenic potential.

Fertility and pregnancy

The NOAEL for fertility findings was 100 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of

IVA and its metabolites) in male rats and 100 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on summed AUCs of

IVA and its metabolites) in female rats.

In the pre- and post-natal study IVA decreased survival and lactation indices and caused a reduction in pupbody weights. The NOAEL for viability and growth in the offspring provides an exposure level ofapproximately 3 times the systemic exposure of IVA and its metabolites in adult humans at the MRHD.

Placental transfer of IVA was observed in pregnant rats and rabbits.

Juvenile animal studies

Findings of cataracts were observed in juvenile rats dosed from postnatal day 7 through day 35 at IVAexposure levels of 0.21 time the MRHD based on systemic exposure of IVA and its metabolites. Thisfinding has not been observed in foetuses derived from rat dams treated with IVA on gestation days 7 today 17, in rat pups exposed to IVA through milk ingestion up to postnatal day 20, in 7-week-old rats, norin 3.5- to 5-month-old dogs treated with IVA. The potential relevance of these findings in humans isunknown (see section 4.4).

Ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor

Combination repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats and dogs involving the co-administration of ELX, TEZand IVA to assess the potential for additive and/or synergistic toxicity did not produce any unexpectedtoxicities or interactions. The potential for synergistic toxicity on male reproduction has not been assessed.
