ODEFSEY

EMTRICITABINE, RILPIVIRINE HYDROCHLORIDE, AND TENOFOVIR ALAFENAMIDE

Standard Dose
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Testing: Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, test for hepatitis B virus infection. Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, and during treatment on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: one tablet taken orally once daily with a meal. ( 2.2 ) For pregnant patients who are already on ODEFSEY prior to pregnancy and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely. ( 2.3 ) Renal impairment: ODEFSEY is not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance of 15 to below 30 mL per minute, or below 15 mL per minute who are not receiving chronic hemodialysis. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Testing Prior to Initiation and During Treatment with ODEFSEY Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, test patients for hepatitis B virus infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Prior to or when initiating ODEFSEY, and during treatment with ODEFSEY, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage in Adult and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 25 kg ODEFSEY is a three-drug fixed dose combination product containing 200 mg of emtricitabine (FTC), 25 mg of rilpivirine (RPV), and 25 mg of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). The recommended dosage of ODEFSEY is one tablet taken orally once daily with a meal in adults and pediatric patients with body weight at least 25 kg and creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30 mL per minute [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 2.3 Recommended Dosage During Pregnancy For pregnant patients who are already on ODEFSEY prior to pregnancy and are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet of ODEFSEY taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine, a component of ODEFSEY, were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.4 Not Recommended in Patients with Severe Renal Impairment ODEFSEY is not recommended in patients with: severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance of 15 to below 30 mL per minute); or end stage renal disease (ESRD; estimated creatinine clearance below 15 mL per minute) who are not receiving chronic hemodialysis [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Warnings and Precautions (5.5) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ].

Primary Use
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ODEFSEY is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg: as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL or to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of ODEFSEY [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ].
Summary

Indications and usage 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ODEFSEY is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg: as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL or to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of ODEFSEY [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ].

ODEFSEY is a three-drug combination of emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), both HIV nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and rilpivirine (RPV), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 25kg: as initial therapy in those with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL; or to replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of ODEFSEY. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use : More rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL. ( 14.2 , 14.3 ) Limitations of Use: More rilpivirine-treated participants with no antiretroviral treatment history with HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated participants with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL [see Clinical Studies (14.2 , 14.3) ].

Boxed Warning

WARNING: POST TREATMENT ACUTE EXACERBATION OF HEPATITIS B Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients with HIV-1 and HBV who have discontinued products containing emtricitabine (FTC) and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and may occur with discontinuation of ODEFSEY. Hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients with HIV-1 and HBV who discontinue ODEFSEY. If appropriate, anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . WARNING: POST TREATMENT ACUTE EXACERBATION OF HEPATITIS B See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients with HIV-1 and HBV who have discontinued products containing emtricitabine (FTC) and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and may occur with discontinuation of ODEFSEY. Hepatic function should be monitored closely in these patients. If appropriate, anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted. ( 5.1 )

Monitoring

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during postmarketing experience with RPV-containing regimens, including cases of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).
  • Immediately discontinue treatment if hypersensitivity or rash with systemic symptoms or elevations in hepatic serum biochemistries develops and closely monitor clinical status, including hepatic serum biochemistries.
  • ( 5.2 ) Hepatotoxicity: Hepatic adverse events have been reported in patients receiving an RPV-containing regimen.
  • Monitor liver-associated tests before and during treatment with ODEFSEY in patients with underlying hepatic disease or marked elevations in liver-associated tests.

Interaction Notes

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS ODEFSEY is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.
  • ( 7.1 ) Consult the Full Prescribing Information prior to and during treatment for important drug interactions.
  • ( 4 , 5.6 , 7 ) 7.1 Not Recommended with Other Antiretroviral Medications Because ODEFSEY is a complete regimen, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.
  • 7.2 Drugs Inducing or Inhibiting CYP3A Enzymes RPV is primarily metabolized by CYP3A, and drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A may affect the clearance of RPV [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
