Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other respiratory system drugs, ATC code: R07AX33. Mechanism of action
VNZ and TEZ are CFTR correctors that bind to different sites on the CFTR protein and have an additive effect in facilitating the cellular processing and trafficking of selected mutant forms (including F508del-CFTR), thereby increasing the amount of CFTR protein at the cell surface compared with either molecule alone. D-IVA increases the channel-open probability (gating) of CFTR protein at the cell surface.
The combined action of VNZ, TEZ, and D-IVA increases the quantity and function of CFTR at the cell surface, leading to increased CFTR activity as measured by both CFTR-mediated chloride ion transport in vitro and sweat chloride (SwCl) measurements in people with CF.
CFTR chloride transport assay in Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) follicular cells expressing mutant CFTR
The response of mutant CFTR protein to D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in chloride ion transport was evaluated in electrophysiological studies in the Ussing chamber using a panel of FRT cell lines transfected with individual CFTR mutations. D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ increased chloride ion transport in FRT cells expressing select CFTR mutations.
In vitro, the threshold of CFTR response in chloride transport was defined as a net increase of at least 10% over baseline above normal value, as this is predictive of, or can reasonably be expected to predict, a clinical response. For individual mutations, the magnitude of net change from baseline in CFTR-mediated chloride transport in vitro does not correlate with the magnitude of clinical response.
Based on in vitro data using FRT cells, it is likely that the presence of one CFTR mutation responsive to D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ will lead to a clinical response in patients with CF.
Table 4 lists the CFTR mutations included in the indication for treatment with Alyftrek. Detection of the CFTR mutations listed in this table is not intended to replace a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or to be the sole determinant for prescribing therapy.

There are patients with CF who carry two rare non-F508del CFTR mutations not listed in Table 4. If they do not carry two class I mutations (null mutations known not to produce CFTR protein) (see section 4.1), they may respond to treatment. In such cases, if the physician judges that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks, use of Alyftrek may be considered under close medical supervision.
Each individual CF diagnosis should be made on the basis of recommended diagnostic procedures and clinical assessment, as there is considerable phenotypic variability among patients with the same genotype. ⁎ Mutations supported by clinical data. † Non-canonical splice mutations whose efficacy is extrapolated from clinical data of other CFTR modulators, as these mutations cannot be tested in FRT cells. ‡ Complex/compound mutations, where one CFTR allele carries multiple mutations; these may exist independently of mutations on the other allele. ¶ Data for N1303K are extrapolated from clinical data on IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA and supported by data from a Human Bronchial Epithelial (HBE) assay. # Mutations extrapolated from FRT cell testing with TEZ/IVA or IVA monotherapy, in which a positive response is indicative of a clinical response. Mutations without annotation are included on the basis of FRT cell testing with D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ, in which a positive response is indicative of a clinical response.
Pharmacodynamic effects
Effects on sweat chloride
In Study 121-102 (people with CF heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a CFTR mutation predicted to result in either no CFTR protein production or a CFTR protein that does not transport chloride and is not responsive to other CFTR modulators (IVA and TEZ/IVA) in vitro), the treatment difference for D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ versus IVA/TEZ/ELX in mean absolute change in SwCl from baseline through Week 24 was −8.4 mmol/L (95% CI: −10.5, −6.3; p < 0.0001).
In Study 121-103 (people with CF homozygous for the F508del mutation, heterozygous for the F508del mutation and either a gating mutation or a residual function mutation, or with at least one IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive mutation without F508del), the treatment difference for D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ versus IVA/TEZ/ELX in mean absolute change in SwCl from baseline through Week 24 was −2.8 mmol/L (95% CI: −4.7, −0.9; p = 0.0034).
In Cohort B1 of Study 121-105 (people with CF aged 6 to less than 12 years with at least one IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive mutation), the mean absolute change in SwCl from baseline through Week 24 was −8.6 mmol/L (95% CI: −11.0, −6.3).
Effects on the cardiovascular system
Effect on the QT interval
At exposures up to 6-fold those observed at the maximum recommended dose of VNZ and at doses up to 3-fold the maximum recommended doses of TEZ and D-IVA, no clinically relevant prolongation of the QT/QTc interval was observed in healthy subjects.
Clinical efficacy and safety
The efficacy of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in people with CF aged 12 years and older was evaluated in two randomised, double-blind, IVA/TEZ/ELX-controlled Phase 3 studies (Studies 121-102 and 121-103). The pharmacokinetic profile, safety, and efficacy of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in people with CF aged 6 to less than 12 years are supported by evidence from D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ studies in people with CF aged 12 years and older (Studies 121-102 and 121-103) and additional data from an open-label Phase 3 study (Cohort B1 of Study 121-105).
Studies 121-102 and 121-103
Study 121-102 was a 52-week, randomised, double-blind, IVA/TEZ/ELX-controlled study in people with CF heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a CFTR mutation predicted to result in either no CFTR protein production or a CFTR protein that does not transport chloride and is unresponsive to other CFTR modulators [IVA and TEZ/IVA] in vitro. A total of 398 people with CF aged 12 years and older received IVA/TEZ/ELX during a 4-week run-in period and were then randomised to receive D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ or IVA/TEZ/ELX during a 52-week treatment period. The mean age was 30.8 years (range 12.2 to 71.6 years; 14.3% under 18 years), 41% were female and 59% male. After the 4-week run-in period, the mean baseline ppFEV1 was 67.1 percentage points (range: 28.0 to 108.6), the mean baseline CFQ-R RD score was 84.4 (range 22.2 to 100), and the mean baseline SwCl was 53.9 mmol/L (range: 10.0 mmol/L to 113.5 mmol/L).
Study 121-103 was a 52-week, randomised, double-blind, IVA/TEZ/ELX-controlled study in people with CF who had one of the following genotypes: homozygous for the F508del mutation, heterozygous for the F508del mutation and either a gating mutation or a residual function mutation, or at least one IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive mutation without F508del. A total of 573 people with CF aged 12 years and older received IVA/TEZ/ELX during a 4-week run-in period and were then randomised to receive D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ or IVA/TEZ/ELX during a 52-week treatment period. The mean age was 33.7 years (range 12.2 to 71.2 years; 13.8% under 18 years), 48.9% were female and 51.1% male. After the 4-week run-in period, the mean baseline ppFEV1 was 66.8 percentage points (range: 36.4 to 112.5), the mean baseline CFQ-R RD score was 85.7 (range 27.8 to 100), and the mean baseline SwCl was 42.8 mmol/L (range: 10.0 mmol/L to 113.3 mmol/L).
In both studies, the primary endpoint assessed non-inferiority of the absolute change in ppFEV1 from baseline through Week 24. The key secondary endpoint assessed superiority in the mean absolute change in SwCl from baseline through Week 24.
A summary of the key efficacy results for Studies 121-102 and 121-103 is provided in Table 5.

Study 121-105
Study 121-105 was an open-label study in people with CF with at least one IVA/TEZ/ELX-responsive mutation. Cohort B1 evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in a total of 78 people with CF aged 6 to less than 12 years (mean age 9.1 years (range 6.2 to 12.0 years), 43.6% female, 56.4% male) over a 24-week treatment period. In Cohort B1, all participants were taking IVA/TEZ/ELX at the start of treatment. The mean baseline ppFEV1 on IVA/TEZ/ELX was 99.7 percentage points (range: 29.3 to 146.0), the mean baseline CFQ-R RD score on IVA/TEZ/ELX was 84.8 (range 16.7 to 100), and the mean baseline SwCl on IVA/TEZ/ELX was 40.4 mmol/L (range: 11.5 mmol/L, 109.5 mmol/L).
In Cohort B1 of Study 121-105, the primary endpoints were safety and tolerability. Efficacy endpoints included absolute change in ppFEV1, absolute change in SwCl, absolute change in CFQ-R Respiratory Domain score, and number of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) through Week 24.

Paediatric population
The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of studies with D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in one or more subsets of the paediatric population in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
⚠️ Warnings
Elevated aminotransferase levels and liver injury
Cases of liver failure leading to transplantation have been reported within the first 6 months of treatment in patients with and without pre-existing advanced liver disease who were taking a medicinal product containing the combination of elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, which contains one of the same (tezacaftor) and one similar (ivacaftor) active substance as Alyftrek. Elevated aminotransferase levels are common in people with CF and have been observed in some people with CF treated with the combination of deutivacaftor, tezacaftor, and vanzacaftor (D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ) (see section 4.8). In patients receiving IVA/TEZ/ELX in combination with IVA, elevated aminotransferase levels were sometimes associated with concurrent elevations in total bilirubin. It is recommended that aminotransferase (ALT and AST) and total bilirubin levels be assessed in all people with CF prior to initiating treatment, every 3 months during the first year of treatment, and annually thereafter. More frequent monitoring should be considered for people with CF with a history of liver disease or elevated aminotransferase levels.
If a patient develops clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of liver injury (e.g., jaundice and/or dark urine, unexplained nausea or vomiting, right upper quadrant pain, or anorexia), treatment should be interrupted and serum aminotransferase and total bilirubin levels should be measured promptly. In the event of ALT or AST values > 5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), or ALT or AST > 3 × ULN with bilirubin > 2 × ULN, dosing should be interrupted. Laboratory test results should be closely monitored until abnormalities resolve. Following resolution of abnormalities, the benefits and risks of resuming treatment should be considered (see sections 4.2, 4.8, and 5.2). Patients in whom treatment is resumed after interruption should be carefully monitored.
In people with CF with pre-existing advanced liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, portal hypertension), D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ should be used with caution and only when the expected benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. If used in such patients, they should be closely monitored after initiation of treatment (see sections 4.2, 4.8, and 5.2).
Patients who discontinued or interrupted a medicinal product containing tezacaftor or ivacaftor due to adverse reactions
There are no safety data on D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in patients who have discontinued or interrupted a medicinal product containing tezacaftor or ivacaftor due to adverse reactions. The benefits and risks should be weighed before using D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in such patients. If D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ is used in these patients, they should be closely monitored according to their clinical status.
Hepatic impairment
Treatment of patients with moderate hepatic impairment is not recommended. In people with CF with moderate hepatic impairment, the use of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ may be considered only when there is a clear medical need and the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks. If used, no dose adjustment is recommended.
Patients with severe hepatic impairment should not be treated with D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ (see sections 4.2, 4.8, and 5.2).
Depression and other psychiatric disorders
Depression and anxiety have been reported in patients treated with D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ.
In some cases, symptoms have been reported to improve after treatment interruption. Patients (and caregivers) should be advised to monitor for the emergence of depressed mood, suicidal ideation, insomnia, anxiety, or unusual changes in behaviour, and instructed to notify their treating physician should such symptoms occur (see section 4.8).
Renal impairment
There is no experience with the use of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ in people with CF with severe renal impairment or in patients with end-stage renal disease, and caution is therefore advised in this population (see sections 4.2 and 5.2).
Mutations unlikely to be responsive to modulator therapy
Patients with a genotype consisting of two CFTR mutations known not to produce CFTR protein (i.e., two class I mutations) are not expected to respond to treatment.
Clinical studies comparing D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ with TEZ/IVA or IVA
No clinical studies have been conducted that directly compare D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ with TEZ/IVA or IVA in patients who do not carry F508del variants.
Patients after organ transplantation
The combination D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ has not been studied in people with CF who have undergone organ transplantation. Therefore, use in transplant patients is not recommended. If used, interactions with commonly used immunosuppressants are described in section 4.5.
Rash events
The incidence of rash events was higher in females than in males, particularly in females taking hormonal contraceptives. A role of hormonal contraception in the occurrence of rash cannot be excluded. In people with CF taking hormonal contraceptives who develop a rash, interruption of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ and hormonal contraception should be considered. Following resolution of the rash, the appropriateness of resuming D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ without hormonal contraception should be considered. If the rash does not recur, resumption of hormonal contraception may be considered (see sections 4.5 and 4.8).
Elderly patients
Clinical studies of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ did not include sufficient numbers of people with CF aged 65 years and older to determine whether their response differs from that of younger adults.
The recommended dosing is based on the pharmacokinetic profile and knowledge from studies of tezacaftor/ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) in combination with ivacaftor (IVA) and of ivacaftor (IVA) monotherapy (see sections 4.2 and 5.2).
Drug interactions
CYP3A inducers
Exposure to vanzacaftor (VNZ), tezacaftor (TEZ), and deutivacaftor (D-IVA) is expected to decrease with concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inducers, which may potentially lead to reduced efficacy of D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ; therefore, concomitant administration with moderate or strong CYP3A inducers is not recommended (see section 4.5).
CYP3A inhibitors
Exposure to VNZ, TEZ, and D-IVA is increased with concomitant administration of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors. Therefore, the dose should be reduced when used concomitantly with moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors (see sections 4.2 and 4.5).
Cataract
Cases of acquired lens opacity without visual impact have been reported in people with CF under 18 years of age treated with ivacaftor (IVA)-containing products. Although other risk factors were present in some cases (e.g., corticosteroid use, radiation exposure), a possible risk of association with IVA treatment cannot be excluded. Because D-IVA is a deuterated isotopologue of IVA, baseline and follow-up ophthalmological examinations are recommended in people with CF under 18 years of age initiating D-IVA/TEZ/VNZ treatment (see section 5.3).
