`
`
`----------------------------INDICATIONS AND USAGE---------------------------
`
`PREZISTA is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protease inhibitor
`
`
`
`indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult patients. PREZISTA is
`
`
`also indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in 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----------------------
`
`• 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. (2.1)
`
`
`
`
`• 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. (2.1)
`
`
`
`
`
`• 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. (2.2)
`
`
`
`
`• PREZISTA/ritonavir is not recommended for use in patients with severe
`
`
`hepatic impairment. (2.3)

`
`
`
`
`
`------------------------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, 6)
`
`
`• 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, 6)
`
`
`
`
`• Use with caution in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy. (5.4)
`
`
`
`
`
`• The concomitant use of PREZISTA/ritonavir and certain other drugs may
`
`
`
`result in known or potentially significant drug interactions. Consult the full
`
`
`
`
`
`prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug
`
`interactions. (5.5, 7.3)
`
`• 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 (5.7) or
`
`
`immune reconstitution syndrome. (5.8)
`
`
`
`
`• Patients with hemophilia may develop increased bleeding events. (5.9)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`• PREZISTA/ritonavir should not be used 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. (5.11)
`
`------------------------------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)

`
`1
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`
`
`1.1 Adult Patients
`PREZISTA® , co-administered with ritonavir (PREZISTA/ritonavir), and with other
`
`
`
`
`
`antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus
`
`(HIV-1) infection.
`
`
`
`This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts
`
`
`from 2 controlled Phase 3 trials of 48 weeks duration in antiretroviral treatment-naïve and
`treatment-experienced patients and 2 controlled Phase 2 trials of 96 weeks duration in
`
`
`clinically advanced, treatment-experienced adult patients.
`
`
`
`1.2 Pediatric Patients
`
`
`PREZISTA, co-administered with ritonavir (PREZISTA/ritonavir), and with other
`
`antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients
`3 years of age and older [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
`
`
`
`
`
`The indication for treatment-experienced pediatric patients 3 to less than 18 years of age
`is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from two open-
`
`
`label Phase 2 trials in antiretroviral treatment-experienced pediatric subjects (24-week
`
`
`
`analysis for one trial in patients 6 to less than 18 years of age; 48-week analysis for one
`
`
`trial in patients 3 to less than 6 years of age). The indication for treatment-naïve pediatric
`
`patients or antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients with no darunavir resistance
`
`associated substitutions is based on one open-label Phase 2 trial of 48 weeks duration in
`
`
`than 18 years of age and
`treatment-naïve subjects 12 to
`antiretroviral
`less
`
`pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation for patients 3 to less than 12 years of age.
`
`
`In treatment-experienced adult and pediatric patients, the following points should be
`
`considered when initiating therapy with PREZISTA/ritonavir:
`
`
`
`• Treatment history and, when available, genotypic or phenotypic testing should guide
`
`
`the use of PREZISTA/ritonavir [see Microbiology (12.4)].
`
`
`
`
`• The use of other active agents with PREZISTA/ritonavir is associated with a greater
`
`
`
`likelihood of treatment response [see Microbiology (12.4) and Clinical Studies
`
`
`(14.3)].
`
`
`
`2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`
`2.1 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.
`
`
`
`Reference ID: 3766215
`
`
`
` 3
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Patients who have difficulty swallowing PREZISTA tablets can use the 100 mg/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/capsule or 1.25 mL of a
`
` 80 mg/mL ritonavir oral solution) once daily and with food. An 8 mL darunavir dose
`
`
`
` should be taken as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe.

`
`
` † An 8 mL darunavir dose should be taken as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` For antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients genotypic testing is recommended.
`
` However, when genotypic testing is not feasible, PREZISTA/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice
`
` daily dosing is recommended.
`
`
`
` 2.2 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 the
`
` following:
`
`
`
`Reference ID: 3766215
`
`
`
` 4
`
`
`
`
`
` Twice daily dosing
`
` • Results from two trials in treatment-experienced pediatric subjects 3 to less 18 years
`
`
`
`
`
` of age demonstrating similar darunavir plasma exposures, virologic response rate and
` safety profile compared to treatment-experienced adults.
`
` Once daily dosing
`
`
`
`
`
`
` • Results from one trial in treatment-naïve pediatric subjects 12 to less than 18 years of
`
`
` age demonstrating similar darunavir plasma exposures, virologic response rate and
`
`
` safety profile compared to treatment-naïve adults.
`• Results from population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation in children 3 to
`
`
`
` less than 12 years of age predicting similar darunavir plasma exposures compared to
`treatment-naïve adults. Although no clinical trial was conducted to collect exposure-
`safety data, the predicted exposures from the once daily dosing is supported by
`
`
`exposures observed in a pediatric clinical trial where twice-daily dosing was
`
`
`administered.

`
`
`
` not use products containing St. John’s wort
`
` because co-administration may result in

`
` reduced plasma concentrations of
`
`
` darunavir. This may result in loss of
`

` Studies or Predicted Interaction.
`Rifampin is a potent inducer of CYP450
` metabolism. PREZISTA/ritonavir should
`
`
` not be used in combination with rifampin,
` as this may cause significant decreases in

` darunavir plasma concentrations. This may
`
`
` result in loss of therapeutic effect to

` PREZISTA.
`
` A safe and effective dose for the treatment
`
` of pulmonary arterial hypertension has not
`
` been established with PREZISTA/ritonavir.

`
`
`
`
`
` 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`
`
` 5.1 General
`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.
`
`
`
`Reference ID: 3766215
`
`
`
` 9
`
`
`
`
`
`
` 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.
`
` Appropriate laboratory testing should be conducted prior to initiating 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 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
`
`
` in subjects using
`rate due
`continued dosing. The discontinuation
`to
`rash
`
` 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:
`
`
`
`
`
`exposures
`
`
`
` of
`
`
`
` • Clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life threatening,
`
` or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications.
`
`
`significant
`greater
`• Clinically
`adverse
`reactions
`from
`
`
` PREZISTA/ritonavir.
` • Loss of therapeutic effect of PREZISTA/ritonavir and possible development of
`
`
` resistance.
