Phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in Subjects Without Cystic Fibrosis With Moderate Hepatic Impairment.

Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor is a combination product (made up of the three drugs elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor) that can effectively treat cystic fibrosis (CF). About 10%­20% of people with CF have liver disease, and the liver plays an important role in breaking down these drugs. Thus, it is important to understand how liver disease or reduced liver function affects the amounts of these drugs in the body over time. This can help determine how much of the drug (i.e., what dose) people should take.We gave people with reduced liver function and healthy people (with normal liver function) elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor for 10 days. We looked at the safety of the combination and measured the amounts of elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor in the body over time.We found that when people with moderately reduced liver function take elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, they have higher amounts of the drugs elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor in their bodies compared with healthy people with normal liver function. These findings mean that people with moderately reduced liver function should take a lower dose of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor.
