TRIKAFTA (elexacaftor / tezacaftor / ivacaftor) Active Ingredients

Present: Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) openFDA Boxed Warning Status

US Boxed Warning present for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and acute hepatic failure. Serious cases of acute hepatic failure leading to liver transplantation have been reported.

Assess ALT, AST, and total bilirubin prior to initiation. Baseline Laboratory Testing
Every 3 months during the first year of therapy. First Year Monitoring Interval
Annually thereafter, or more frequently if transaminases are elevated. Long-Term Monitoring Interval
Interrupt dosing if ALT or AST > 5x ULN, or ALT/AST > 3x ULN with total bilirubin > 2x ULN. Resume only after thorough investigation and return to baseline. Clinical Interruption Threshold
Strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin) require dose reduction to twice weekly. Moderate inhibitors require alternating-day dosing. Strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, St. John's wort) substantially reduce exposure and are not recommended. CYP3A4 Drug-Drug Interaction Guidance

Research, not medical advice. Independent research from Sensei Ewok CF Lab; not clinical guidance.

Transaminase monitoring schedules and CYP3A interaction rules are educational summaries; always consult your licensed CF physician and care team before initiating, adjusting, or stopping any medication.

How this list works

We list pages so they are easier to find. Being listed is not a recommendation, and the order is not a ranking.

We are not part of any organization here and are not paid by any of them. Each organization decides who it can help, so its own page has the last word.

Information changes, so check with the organization and your care team. This is research, not medical advice, and not advice about money or medicines for your situation.

A page is listed when it is a public page of a named organization and is free to view. Each listed page was checked against its description on the date shown beside it. For some, a person opened the page in a browser; for others, the lab's tools loaded it for a screenshot and a person confirmed the row from that. Each row says which.

How places are chosen: cystic fibrosis affects families everywhere, and this list is humanitarian and non-political. Places are added in alphabetical order as we find and verify a public, free-to-view HTTPS page from a local cystic fibrosis organization, rare-disease group, or children's hospital whose site rules allow linking. Place names and codes follow standard technical tables (ISO 3166-1 and Natural Earth) for navigation only, not as a statement on borders, governments, or sovereignty.

Each link opens the organization's own site, which has its own privacy terms and may be in another language.
