RESUMO

Ivacaftor is the first clinically approved monotherapy potentiator to treat CFTR channel dysfunction in people with cystic fibrosis. Ivacaftor (Iva) is a critical component for all current modulator therapies, including highly effective modulator therapies. Clinical studies show that CF patients on ivacaftor-containing therapies present various clinical responses, off-target effects, and adverse reactions, which could be related to metabolites of the compound. In this study, we reported the concentrations of Iva and two of its major metabolites (M1-Iva and M6-Iva) in capillary plasma and estimated M1-Iva and M6-Iva metabolic activity via the metabolite parent ratio in capillary plasma over 12 h. We also used the ratio of capillary plasma versus human nasal epithelial cell concentrations to evaluate entry into epithelial cells in vivo. M6-Iva was rarely detected by LC-MS/MS in epithelial cells from participants taking ivacaftor, although it was detected in plasma. To further explore this discrepancy, we performed in vitro studies, which showed that M1-Iva, but not M6-Iva, readily crossed 16HBE cell membranes. Our studies also suggest that metabolism of these compounds is unlikely to occur in airway epithelia despite evidence of expression of metabolism enzymes. Overall, our data provide evidence that there are differences between capillary and cellular concentrations of these compounds that may inform future studies of clinical response and off-target effects.

RESUMO

Elexacaftor, tezacaftor, ivacaftor (ETI) is a CFTR modulator combination approved for use in ∼90 % of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) over 2 years old. While most pwCF tolerate this therapy well, some are intolerant to standard dosing, and others show little response. Clinical providers may adjust ETI dosing to combat these issues, but these adjustments are not well guided by pharmacokinetic evidence. Our post-approval study aimed to describe pharmacokinetic variability of ETI plasma concentrations in 15 participants who were administered a standard or reduced dose. ETI were quantified by LC-MS/MS in plasma samples taken prior to the morning dose. Results showed non-significant differences for each compound regardless of dosing regimen and after dose equivalence normalization. The majority of participants in both dosing groups had concentrations expected to elicit clinical response to ETI therapy. These findings indicate that dose reduction may be a viable strategy to maintain clinical benefit while managing intolerance.
