  • BOXED WARNING (What is this?)

    WARNING: DRUG-INDUCED LIVER INJURY AND LIVER FAILURE

    TRIKAFTA can cause serious and potentially fatal drug-induced liver injury. Cases of liver failure leading to transplantation and death have been reported in patients with and without a history of liver disease taking TRIKAFTA, in both clinical trials and the postmarketing setting [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Liver injury has been reported within the first month of therapy and up to 15 months following initiation of TRIKAFTA.

    Assess liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin) in all patients prior to initiating TRIKAFTA. Assess liver function tests every month during the first 6 months of treatment, then every 3 months for the next 12 months, then at least annually thereafter. Consider more frequent monitoring for patients with a history of liver disease or liver function test elevations at baseline [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Adverse Reactions (6), and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

    Interrupt TRIKAFTA for significant elevations in liver function tests or in the event of signs or symptoms of liver injury. Consider referral to a hepatologist. Follow patients closely with clinical and laboratory monitoring until abnormalities resolve. If abnormalities resolve, resume treatment only if the benefit is expected to outweigh the risk. Closer monitoring is advised after resuming TRIKAFTA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

    TRIKAFTA should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). TRIKAFTA is not recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). If used, use with caution at a reduced dosage and monitor patients closely [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Adverse Reactions (6), Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
