Important Safety Information
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in patients with previous hypersensitivity to fostemsavir or any of the components of RUKOBIA.
Do not use RUKOBIA in patients receiving strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inducers, including but not limited to enzalutamide, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, mitotane, and St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum).
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome, including the occurrence of autoimmune disorders with variable time to onset, has been reported with the use of RUKOBIA.
QTc Prolongation with Higher than Recommended Dosages: RUKOBIA at 2,400 mg twice daily has been shown to significantly prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram. Use RUKOBIA with caution in patients with a history of QTc interval prolongation or in patients with relevant pre-existing cardiac disease or who are taking drugs with a known risk of Torsade de Pointes. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to drug-induced QT interval prolongation.
Elevations in Hepatic Transaminases in Patients with Hepatitis B or C Virus Co-infection:
Monitoring of liver chemistries is recommended in patients with hepatitis B and/or C co-infection.
Diligence should be applied in initiating or maintaining effective hepatitis B therapy when starting RUKOBIA in patients co-infected with hepatitis B.
Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions with concomitant use of RUKOBIA and other drugs may occur (see Contraindications and Drug Interactions).
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reaction (all grades, randomized cohort) observed in ≥5% of subjects was nausea (10%).
81% of adverse reactions reported with RUKOBIA were mild or moderate in severity.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
See the full Prescribing Information for RUKOBIA for a complete list of significant drug interactions.
Temsavir may increase plasma concentrations of grazoprevir and voxilaprevir. Use an alternative hepatitis C virus regimen if possible.
Use the lowest possible starting dose for statins and monitor for statin-associated adverse events.
Patients receiving RUKOBIA should not take doses of estrogen-based therapies, including oral contraceptives, that contain more than 30 mcg/day of ethinyl estradiol. Caution is advised particularly in patients with additional risk factors for thromboembolic events.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: There are insufficient human data on the use of RUKOBIA during pregnancy to definitively assess a drug-associated risk for birth defects and miscarriage. An Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry has been established.
Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended due to the potential for HIV-1 transmission, developing viral resistance, and adverse reactions in a breastfed infant.
