6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

The adverse reactions data below are from clinical trials of ALYFTREK in patients 6 years of age and older with CF with at least one responsive CFTR variant who were able to tolerate ELX/TEZ/IVA.

Adverse reactions data in patients who previously discontinued or interrupted ELX/TEZ/IVA due to adverse reactions are not available .

Adverse Reactions in Patients Aged 12 Years and Older with CF The safety of ALYFTREK is based on 480 patients with CF aged 12 years and older who have at least one F508del variant or another responsive variant in the CFTR gene in two, 52-week, active-controlled trials (Trials 1 and 2) [see Clinical Studies (14) ].

In both trials, patients received a fixed-dose combination drug containing elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) in a 4-week run-in period and then were subsequently randomized to continue ELX/TEZ/IVA (elexacaftor 200 mg/tezacaftor 100 mg/ivacaftor 150 mg in the morning and ivacaftor 150 mg in the evening) or receive ALYFTREK (vanzacaftor 20 mg/tezacaftor 100 mg/deutivacaftor 250 mg) once daily.

Patients with a history of prior intolerance to ELX/TEZ/IVA (i.e., patients who discontinued or interrupted treatment due to adverse reactions) were excluded.

Trials 1 and 2 were not designed to evaluate meaningful comparisons of the incidence of adverse reactions between the ALYFTREK and ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment groups.
