Drug interaction overview
- Ivacaftor and its M1 metabolite may inhibit CYP3A and P-gp; caution when coadministration with CYP3A and/or P-gp substrates
-
CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Strong CYP3A inhibitors, significantly increased ivacaftor exposure by 8.5-fold; reduce dose for patients ≥6 months taking concomitant strong CYP3A inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, telithromycin, and clarithromycin
- Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A, increased ivacaftor exposure by 3-fold; reduce dose for patients ≥6 months taking concomitant moderate CYP3A inhibitors, such as fluconazole and erythromycin
- Avoid eating grapefruit juice, grapefruit, or Seville oranges during treatment with ivacaftor; these fruits contain 1 or more components that moderately inhibit CYP3A
-
Strong CYP3A4 inducers
- Not recommended
- Strong CYP3A4 inducers may substantially decreased (~9-fold) systemic exposure of ivacaftor, which may reduce therapeutic effect
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
There are limited and incomplete human data from clinical trials and postmarketing reports on use in pregnant females
Animal data
- Oral administration of ivacaftor to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis demonstrated no teratogenicity or adverse effects on fetal development at doses that produced maternal exposures up to ~5x (rats) and 11x (rabbits) the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD)
- No adverse developmental effects were observed after oral administration of ivacaftor to pregnant rats from organogenesis through lactation at doses that produced maternal exposures ~3x the exposures at the MRHD
Lactation
No information available regarding presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production
Excreted into milk of lactating rats; however, due to species-specific differences in lactation physiology, animal lactation data may not reliably predict levels in human milk
Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child or from the underlying maternal condition
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Potentiates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
The CFTR protein is a chloride channel present at the surface of epithelial cells in multiple organs; ivacaftor facilitates increased chloride transport by potentiating the channel-open probability (or gating) of the G551D-CFTR protein
CFTR gene mutations that produce CFTR protein and are responsive to ivacaftor

- In 2 studies of patients with the G551D mutation, treatment with ivacaftor resulted in a significant improvement in FEV1
- The treatment difference between ivacaftor and placebo for the mean absolute change in percent predicted FEV1 from baseline through Week 24 was 10.6 percentage points (P < 0.0001) in Trial 1 and 12.5 percentage points (P < 0.0001) in Trial 2
- These changes persisted through 48 weeks
G1244E, G1349D, G178R, G551S, G970R, S1251N, S1255P, S549N, or S549R Mutation in the CFTR gene

- Ivacaftor compared to placebo resulted in significant improvement in ppFEV1 [4.7 percent points from study baseline to average of Week 4 and Week 8 and CFQ-R respiratory domain score (9.7 points from study baseline to average of Week 4 and Week 8)
- Statistically significant improvements compared to placebo were also observed in the subgroup of patients with splice mutations and missense mutation
Homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene
- Should not be used in patients homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene
- Efficacy results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with CF who are homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene showed no statistically significant difference in forced expiratory volume exhaled in one second (FEV1) over 16 weeks of ivacaftor treatment compared to placebo
