`
`
` ----------------------------INDICATIONS AND USAGE---------------------------
` PREZISTA is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protease inhibitor
`
`
`
`
`
` indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients
` 3 years of age and older. PREZISTA must be co-administered with ritonavir
`
`
`
` (PREZISTA/ritonavir) and with other antiretroviral agents. (1)
`
`
` -----------------------DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION----------------------
`
` • Testing:
`
`
`
`
`
`
` o In treatment-experienced patients, treatment history genotypic and/or
`
` phenotypic testing is recommended prior to initiation of therapy with
`
`
`
`
` PREZISTA/ritonavir to assess drug susceptibility of the HIV-1 virus
`
`
`
`
` (2.1, 12.4)
` o Monitor serum liver chemistry tests before and during therapy with
`
`
`
` PREZISTA/ritonavir. (2.1, 2.2, 5.2)
` • Treatment-naïve adult patients and treatment-experienced adult patients
`
`
`
`
` with no darunavir resistance associated substitutions: 800 mg (one
`
` 800 mg tablet) taken with ritonavir 100 mg once daily and with food.
`
`
`
` (2.3)
`
` • Treatment-experienced adult patients with at least one darunavir
`
`
`
`
` resistance associated substitution: 600 mg (one 600 mg tablet) taken with
` ritonavir 100 mg twice daily and with food. (2.3)
`
`
`
`
`
` • Pregnant patients: 600 mg (one 600 mg tablet) taken with ritonavir
` 100 mg twice daily and with food. (2.4)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` • Pediatric patients (3 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least
` 10 kg): dosage of PREZISTA and ritonavir is based on body weight and
`
`
`
`
`
`
` should not exceed the adult dose. PREZISTA should be taken with
` ritonavir and with food. (2.5)
`
`
` • PREZISTA/ritonavir is not recommended for use in patients with severe
`
`
` hepatic impairment. (2.6)
`
`
` ----------------------DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS--------------------
` • Oral suspension: 100 mg per mL (3)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` • Tablets: 75 mg, 150 mg, 600 mg, and 800 mg (3)
`
`
`
`
`-------------------------------CONTRAINDICATIONS------------------------------
` • Co-administration of PREZISTA/ritonavir is contraindicated with drugs
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated
` plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening
`
`
`
`
` events (narrow therapeutic index). (4)

`
`
`------------------------WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS----------------------
`
`
`• Drug-induced hepatitis (e.g., acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) has been
`
`
`
`
`
`reported with PREZISTA/ritonavir. Monitor liver function before and
`
`
`
`during therapy, especially in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis,
`
`
`
`
`cirrhosis, or in patients who have pre-treatment elevations of
`
`
`transaminases. Post-marketing cases of liver injury, including some
`
`fatalities, have been reported. (5.2)
`
`
`• Skin reactions ranging from mild to severe, including Stevens-Johnson
`
`
`
`
`Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash with eosinophilia and
`
`
`systemic symptoms and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, have
`
`been reported. Discontinue treatment if severe reaction develops. (5.3)
`
`
`
`• Use with caution in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy. (5.4)
`
`
`
`
`
`• Patients may develop new onset diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.
`
`
`Initiation or dose adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may
`
`
`be required. (5.6)
`
`• Patients may develop redistribution/accumulation of body fat or immune
`
`
`reconstitution syndrome. (5.7, 5.8)
`
`• Patients with hemophilia may develop increased bleeding events. (5.9)
`
`
`
`
`
`• PREZISTA/ritonavir is not recommended in pediatric patients below
`
`
`
`
`
`3 years of age in view of toxicity and mortality observed in juvenile rats
`
`
`
`
`dosed with darunavir up to days 23 to 26 of age. (5.10)
`
`
`
`
`------------------------------ADVERSE REACTIONS------------------------------
`
`• The most common clinical adverse drug reactions to PREZISTA/ritonavir
`
`
`
`
`(incidence greater than or equal to 5%) of at least moderate intensity
`
`
`(greater than or equal to Grade 2) were diarrhea, nausea, rash, headache,
`
`
`
`
`abdominal pain and vomiting. (6)
`
`
`
`To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen
`
`Products, LP at 1-800-JANSSEN (1-800-526-7736) or FDA at 1-800-FDA
`
`
`1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
`
`
`-------------------------------DRUG INTERACTIONS------------------------------
`• Co-administration of PREZISTA/ritonavir with other drugs can alter the
`
`
`
`concentrations of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations
`
`
`of darunavir. The potential drug-drug interactions must be considered
`
`
`
`
`prior to and during therapy. (4, 5.5, 7, 12.3)
`
`
`
`
`-----------------------USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS----------------------
`
`
`• Pregnancy: Total darunavir exposures were generally lower during
`
`
`pregnancy compared to postpartum period. The reduction in darunavir
`
`
`
`
`
`exposures during pregnancy were greater for once daily dosing compared
`
`
`to the twice daily dosing regimen. (8.1, 12.3)
`
`
`• Lactation: Women infected with HIV should be instructed not to
`
`
`
`
`
`breastfeed due to the potential for HIV transmission. (8.2)
`
`• Pediatrics: Not recommended for patients less than 3 years of age. (8.4)

` FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
` INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`
`
` 1
`PREZISTA®, co-administered with ritonavir (PREZISTA/ritonavir), in combination with other
`
`
`
`antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1)
`
`
`
`infection in adult and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older [see Use in Specific Populations
`
`
`(8.4) and Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`
`
`2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`
`2.1 Testing Prior to Initiation of PREZISTA/ritonavir
`
`
`
`In treatment-experienced patients, treatment history, genotypic and/or phenotypic testing is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`recommended to assess drug susceptibility of the HIV-1 virus [see Microbiology (12.4)]. Refer to
`
`
`Dosage and Administration (2.3), (2.4) and (2.5) for dosing recommendations.
`
`
`Appropriate laboratory testing such as serum liver biochemistries should be conducted prior to
`
`
`initiating therapy with PREZISTA/ritonavir [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
`
`
`
`
`
`2.2 Monitoring During Treatment with PREZISTA/ritonavir
`
`Patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in patients who have pre-treatment
`
`
`elevations of transaminases should be monitored for elevation in serum liver biochemistries,
`especially during the first several months of PREZISTA/ritonavir treatment [see Warnings and
`
`
`Precautions (5.2)].
`
`
`
`2.3 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients
`
`
`
`PREZISTA must be co-administered with ritonavir to exert its therapeutic effect. Failure to
`
`
`correctly co-administer PREZISTA with ritonavir will result in plasma levels of darunavir that will
`
`be insufficient to achieve the desired antiviral effect and will alter some drug interactions.
`
`
`
`
`Patients who have difficulty swallowing PREZISTA tablets can use the 100 mg per mL
`
`PREZISTA oral suspension.
`
`
`Treatment-Naïve Adult Patients
`
`
`
`
`
`The recommended oral dose of PREZISTA is 800 mg (one 800 mg tablet or 8 mL of the oral
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`suspension) taken with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet or capsule or 1.25 mL of a 80 mg per
`
`
`
`mL ritonavir oral solution) once daily and with food. An 8 mL PREZISTA dose should be taken
`
`
`
`as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe.
`
`
`Treatment-Experienced Adult Patients
`
`
`
`The recommended oral dosage for treatment-experienced adult patients is summarized in Table 1.
`
`
`
`Baseline genotypic testing is recommended for dose selection. However, when genotypic testing
`
`
`
`
`
`is not feasible, PREZISTA 600 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily is recommended.

`
` † An 8 mL darunavir dose should be taken as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2.4 Recommended Dosage During Pregnancy
`
`
`The recommended dosage in pregnant patients is PREZISTA 600 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg
`
`
`
`
`
`
`twice daily with food.
`
`
`
`
`PREZISTA 800 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg once daily should only be considered in certain
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`pregnant patients who are already on a stable PREZISTA 800 mg with ritonavir 100 mg once daily
`
`
`
`
`
`regimen prior to pregnancy, are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL),
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and in whom a change to twice daily PREZISTA 600 mg with ritonavir 100 mg may compromise
`
`
`
`
`
`tolerability or compliance.
`
`
`
`2.5 Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients (age 3 to less than 18 years)
`
`
`
`
`Healthcare professionals should pay special attention to accurate dose selection of PREZISTA,
`
`transcription of the medication order, dispensing information and dosing instruction to minimize
`
`risk for medication errors, overdose, and underdose.
`
`
`Prescribers should select the appropriate dose of PREZISTA/ritonavir for each individual child
`
`
`based on body weight (kg) and should not exceed the recommended dose for adults.
`
`
`
`Before prescribing PREZISTA, children weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg should be
`
`
`
`
`assessed for the ability to swallow tablets. If a child is unable to reliably swallow a tablet, the use
`
`
`
`of PREZISTA oral suspension should be considered.
`
`
`The recommended dose of PREZISTA/ritonavir for pediatric patients (3 to less than 18 years of
`
`
`
`age and weighing at least 10 kg is based on body weight (see Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5) and should not
`
`
`
`
`exceed the recommended adult dose. PREZISTA should be taken with ritonavir and with food.
`
`
`The recommendations for the PREZISTA/ritonavir dosage regimens were based on pediatric
`
`clinical trial data and population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation [see Use in Specific
`
`
`
`Populations (8.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

`
`
`
` 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`
`
` 5.1
`
` Importance of Co-administration with Ritonavir
`
`
`PREZISTA must be co-administered with ritonavir and food to achieve the desired antiviral effect.
`
`
`Failure to administer PREZISTA with ritonavir and food may result in a loss of efficacy of
`
`darunavir.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Please refer to ritonavir prescribing information for additional information on precautionary
`
`measures.
`
`
`
`5.2 Hepatotoxicity
`Drug-induced hepatitis (e.g., acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) has been reported with
`
`
`PREZISTA/ritonavir. During the clinical development program (N=3063), hepatitis was reported
`
`
`in 0.5% of patients receiving combination therapy with PREZISTA/ritonavir. Patients with
`
`pre-existing liver dysfunction, including chronic active hepatitis B or C, have an increased risk for
`
`liver function abnormalities including severe hepatic adverse events.
`
`
`Post-marketing cases of liver injury, including some fatalities, have been reported. These have
`
`generally occurred in patients with advanced HIV-1 disease taking multiple concomitant
`medications, having co-morbidities including hepatitis B or C co-infection, and/or developing
`
`immune reconstitution syndrome. A causal relationship with PREZISTA/ritonavir therapy has not
`
`been established.
`
`initiating
`to
`testing should be conducted prior
`laboratory
`Appropriate
`therapy with
`
`PREZISTA/ritonavir and patients should be monitored during treatment. Increased AST/ALT
`
`monitoring should be considered in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in
`
`patients who have pre-treatment elevations of transaminases, especially during the first several
`
`months of PREZISTA/ritonavir treatment.
`
`
`Evidence of new or worsening liver dysfunction (including clinically significant elevation of liver
`
`
`enzymes and/or symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, liver tenderness,
`
`hepatomegaly) in patients on PREZISTA/ritonavir should prompt consideration of interruption or
`
`discontinuation of treatment.
`
`
`
`5.3 Severe Skin Reactions
`
`
`During the clinical development program (n=3063), severe skin reactions, accompanied by fever
`
`
`and/or elevations of transaminases in some cases, have been reported in 0.4% of subjects. Stevens-
`
`
`Johnson Syndrome was rarely (less than 0.1%) reported during the clinical development program.
`
`During post-marketing experience toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug rash with eosinophilia and
`
`systemic symptoms, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis have been reported.
`
`
`
`Discontinue PREZISTA/ritonavir immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions
`
`
`
` 8
`
`Reference ID: 4317510
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`develop. These can include but are not limited to severe rash or rash accompanied with fever,
`
`general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and/or
`
`eosinophilia.
`
`
`Rash (all grades, regardless of causality) occurred in 10.3% of subjects treated with
`
`
`
`PREZISTA/ritonavir [also see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Rash was mostly mild-to-moderate, often
`
`
`
`occurring within the first four weeks of treatment and resolving with continued dosing. The
`
`
`discontinuation rate due to rash in subjects using PREZISTA/ritonavir was 0.5%.
`
`
`
`Rash occurred more commonly in treatment-experienced subjects receiving regimens containing
`
`PREZISTA/ritonavir + raltegravir compared to subjects receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir without
`
`
`raltegravir or raltegravir without PREZISTA/ritonavir. However, rash that was considered drug
`
`related occurred at similar rates for all three groups. These rashes were mild to moderate in severity
`
`and did not limit therapy; there were no discontinuations due to rash.
`
`
`
`5.4 Sulfa Allergy
`
`
`Darunavir contains a sulfonamide moiety. PREZISTA should be used with caution in patients with
`
`a known sulfonamide allergy. In clinical studies with PREZISTA/ritonavir, the incidence and
`
`severity of rash were similar in subjects with or without a history of sulfonamide allergy.
`
`
`
`
`5.5 Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions due to Drug Interactions
`
`
`Initiation of PREZISTA/ritonavir, a CYP3A inhibitor, in patients receiving medications
`
`metabolized by CYP3A or initiation of medications metabolized by CYP3A in patients already
`receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir, may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized
`
`by CYP3A. Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease
`
`
`
`concentrations of PREZISTA/ritonavir, respectively. These interactions may lead to:
`
`
`
`
`
`• Clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life threatening, or fatal
`
`
`
`events from greater exposures of concomitant medications.
`
`
`• Clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of PREZISTA/ritonavir.
`
`
`
`
`
`• Loss of therapeutic effect of PREZISTA/ritonavir and possible development of resistance.
`
`
`
`
`See Table 10 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions,
`
`
`
`including dosing recommendations [see Drug Interactions (7)]. Consider the potential for drug
`
`interactions prior to and during PREZISTA/ritonavir therapy; review concomitant medications
`
`
`during PREZISTA/ritonavir therapy; and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the
`
`
`
`concomitant drugs [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`5.6 Diabetes Mellitus/Hyperglycemia
`
`New onset diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of pre-existing diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia
`have been reported during postmarketing surveillance in HIV-infected patients receiving protease
`
`
`inhibitor (PI) therapy. Some patients required either initiation or dose adjustments of insulin or
`
`
`oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of these events. In some cases, diabetic ketoacidosis has
`
`
`
` 9
`
`Reference ID: 4317510
`
`
`
`occurred. In those patients who discontinued PI therapy, hyperglycemia persisted in some cases.
`
`
`
`
`Because these events have been reported voluntarily during clinical practice, estimates of
`
`
`frequency cannot be made and causal relationships between PI therapy and these events have not
`
`been established.
`
`
`
`5.7 Fat Redistribution
`
`
`
`
`Redistribution/accumulation of body fat, including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement
`
`(buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and “cushingoid
`
`appearance” have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and
`
`
`
`
`long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. A causal relationship has not been
`
`established.
`
`
`
`Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
`5.8
`
`Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination
`
`antiretroviral therapy, including PREZISTA. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral
`treatment, patients whose immune systems respond may develop an inflammatory response to
`
`
`indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium infection,
`
`
`cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP], or tuberculosis), which may
`
`
`necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
`
`Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome) have
`
`also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, the time to onset is
`
`
`more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of antiretroviral treatment.
`
`
`
`5.9 Hemophilia
`
`
`There have been reports of increased bleeding, including spontaneous skin hematomas and
`
`
`
`hemarthrosis in patients with hemophilia type A and B treated with PIs. In some patients,
`
`
`additional factor VIII was given. In more than half of the reported cases, treatment with PIs was
`
`continued or reintroduced if treatment had been discontinued. A causal relationship between PI
`
`therapy and these episodes has not been established.
`
`
`
`
`5.10 Not Recommended in Pediatric Patients Below 3 Years of Age
`
`
`
`
`
`PREZISTA/ritonavir in pediatric patients below 3 years of age is not recommended in view of
`
`
`
`
`toxicity and mortality observed in juvenile rats dosed with darunavir (from 20 mg/kg to
`
`
`
`
`
`1000 mg/kg) up to days 23 to 26 of age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 and 8.4) and Clinical
`
`
`
`Pharmacology (12.3)].
`
`
