Cobicistat

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE TYBOST is a CYP3A inhibitor indicated to increase systemic exposure of atazanavir or darunavir (once daily dosing regimen) in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and in pediatric patients weighing at least 14 kg. Limitations of Use : TYBOST is not interchangeable with ritonavir to increase systemic exposure of darunavir 600 mg twice daily, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir due to lack of exposure data. The use of TYBOST is not recommended with darunavir 600 mg twice daily, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir. ( 1.2 , 5.4 ) Complex or unknown mechanisms of drug interactions preclude extrapolation of ritonavir drug interactions to certain TYBOST interactions. TYBOST and ritonavir when administered with either atazanavir or darunavir may result in different drug interactions when used with concomitant medications. ( 1.2 , 5.3 , 7 , 12.3 )

1.1Indications Adult Patients:

TYBOST is a CYP3A inhibitor indicated to increase systemic exposure of atazanavir or darunavir (once daily dosing regimen) in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults . Pediatric Patients: TYBOST is a CYP3A inhibitor indicated to increase systemic exposure of atazanavir or darunavir (once daily dosing regimen) in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients weighing at least 14 kg .

1.2Limitations of Use

TYBOST is not interchangeable with ritonavir to increase systemic exposure of darunavir 600 mg twice daily, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir due to lack of exposure data. The use of TYBOST is not recommended with darunavir 600 mg twice daily, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir . Complex or unknown mechanisms of drug interactions preclude extrapolation of ritonavir drug interactions to certain TYBOST interactions. TYBOST and ritonavir when administered with either atazanavir or darunavir may result in different drug interactions when used with concomitant medications .

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION TYBOST must be coadministered with atazanavir or darunavir at the same time, with food, and in combination with other HIV-1 antiretroviral agents. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Recommended dosage in adults: Adult Patient Populations Coadministered Agent Dosage TYBOST Dosage Treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced atazanavir 300 mg orally once daily 150 mg orally once daily Treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions darunavir 800 mg orally once daily Recommended dosage in pediatric patients: TYBOST 150 mg or TYBOST 90 mg orally once daily based on body weight. For dosage recommendations for TYBOST and the coadministered protease inhibitor atazanavir or darunavir in pediatric patients, refer to Table 2 and Table 3 of the full prescribing information respectively. Prior to starting TYBOST, assess estimated creatinine clearance. Coadministration with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF): assess estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein at baseline. TYBOST coadministered with TDF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/min because dose adjustment of TDF is required below 50 mL/min and such dose adjustments have not been established for coadministration with TYBOST.

2.3Testing Prior to Initiation of

TYBOST Prior to or when initiating TYBOST and during treatment with TYBOST, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess estimated creatinine clearance because TYBOST decreases estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function . When coadministering TYBOST with TDF, assess estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein at baseline. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus .

2.4Renal Impairment

TYBOST coadministered with TDF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/min because dose adjustment of TDF is required below 50 mL/min and such dose adjustments have not been established for coadministration with TYBOST .

2.5Not Recommended During Pregnancy

TYBOST coadministered with darunavir is not recommended for use during pregnancy because of substantially lower exposures of darunavir and cobicistat during the second and third trimesters . TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir is not recommended for use during pregnancy because of substantially lower exposures of cobicistat during the second and third trimesters . TYBOST coadministered with darunavir or atazanavir should not be initiated in pregnant individuals. An alternative regimen is recommended for individuals who become pregnant during therapy with TYBOST coadministered with darunavir or atazanavir.

Assess creatinine clearance (CLcr) before initiating treatment. When TYBOST is used in combination with a TDF-containing regimen, cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome have been reported. Use with TDF: Assess urine glucose and urine protein at baseline and monitor CLcr, urine glucose, and urine protein. Monitor serum phosphorus in patients with or at risk for renal impairment. TYBOST in combination with more than one antiretroviral that requires pharmacokinetic enhancement (i.e., two protease inhibitors or elvitegravir in combination with a protease inhibitor) is not recommended. Use with HIV-1 protease inhibitors other than atazanavir or darunavir administered once daily is not recommended. Coadministration with drugs or regimens containing ritonavir is not recommended.

5.1Effects on Serum Creatinine

TYBOST decreases estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function. This effect should be considered when interpreting changes in estimated creatinine clearance in patients initiating TYBOST, particularly in patients with medical conditions or receiving drugs needing monitoring with estimated creatinine clearance. Prior to initiating therapy with TYBOST, assess estimated creatinine clearance . Dosage recommendations are not available for drugs that require dosage adjustments in TYBOST-treated patients with renal impairment . Consider alternative medications that do not require dosage adjustments in patients with renal impairment.

Although TYBOST may cause modest increases in serum creatinine and modest declines in estimated creatinine clearance without affecting renal glomerular function, patients who experience a confirmed increase in serum creatinine of greater than 0.4 mg/dL from baseline should be closely monitored for renal safety.

5.2New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment

When Used with Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome, has been reported when TYBOST was used in an antiretroviral regimen that contained TDF. Coadministration of TYBOST and TDF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/min because dose adjustment of TDF is required below 50 mL/min and such dose adjustments have not been established for coadministration with TYBOST . Document urine glucose and urine protein at baseline and perform routine monitoring of estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein during treatment when TYBOST is used with TDF. Measure serum phosphorus in patients with or at risk for renal impairment when used with TDF. Coadministration of TYBOST and TDF in combination with concomitant or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent is not recommended. In a clinical trial of TYBOST over 144 weeks (N=692), 10 (2.9%) participants treated with TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir and TRUVADA ® and 11 (3.2%) participants treated with ritonavir coadministered with atazanavir and TRUVADA discontinued study drug due to a renal adverse event. Seven of the 10 participants (2.0% overall) in the TYBOST group had laboratory findings consistent with proximal renal tubulopathy leading to study drug discontinuation compared to 7 of 11 participants (2.0% overall) in the ritonavir group.

One participant in the TYBOST group had renal impairment at baseline (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance less than 70 mL/min). The laboratory findings in these 7 participants with evidence of proximal tubulopathy improved but did not completely resolve in all participants upon discontinuation of TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir and TRUVADA. Renal replacement therapy was not required in any participant.

5.3Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions or Loss

of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions Initiation of TYBOST, a CYP3A inhibitor, in patients receiving medications metabolized by CYP3A, or initiation of medications metabolized by CYP3A in patients already receiving TYBOST, may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP3A and reduce plasma concentrations of active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A. Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may respectively increase or decrease concentrations of TYBOST with atazanavir or darunavir. These interactions may lead to: clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from higher exposures of concomitant medications. clinically significant adverse reactions from higher exposures of TYBOST and atazanavir or darunavir. These interactions may lead to: loss of therapeutic effect of TYBOST with atazanavir or darunavir and possible development of resistance. loss of therapeutic effect of the concomitant medications from lower exposures of active metabolite(s).

See Table 7 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations . Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during TYBOST with atazanavir or darunavir therapy; review concomitant medications during TYBOST with atazanavir or darunavir therapy; and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with concomitant medications . TYBOST or ritonavir when administered with either atazanavir or darunavir may result in different drug interactions when used with concomitant medications. Complex or unknown mechanisms of drug interactions preclude extrapolation of ritonavir drug interactions to certain TYBOST interactions .

5.4Antiretrovirals

that are Not Recommended in Combination with TYBOST The following antiretrovirals are not recommended in combination with TYBOST because dosing recommendations for such combinations have not been established and coadministration may result in decreased plasma concentrations of the antiretroviral agents, leading to loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance: More than one antiretroviral that requires pharmacokinetic enhancement (i.e., two protease inhibitors or a protease inhibitor in combination with elvitegravir) Darunavir in combination with efavirenz, nevirapine, or etravirine Atazanavir in combination with etravirine Atazanavir in combination with efavirenz in treatment-experienced patients Darunavir 600 mg twice daily Other HIV-1 protease inhibitors including fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir TYBOST in combination with fixed-dose combination tablets that contain cobicistat is not recommended. TYBOST in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir or regimens containing ritonavir is not recommended due to similar effects of TYBOST and ritonavir on CYP3A.

The concomitant use of TYBOST with atazanavir or darunavir and the following drugs is contraindicated due to the potential for serious and/or life-threatening events or loss of therapeutic effect . Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin Antianginal: ranolazine Antiarrhythmic: dronedarone Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin Anti-gout: colchicine Antimycobacterial: rifampin Antineoplastics: irinotecan These contraindications apply only to TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir Antipsychotics: lurasidone, pimozide Ergot Derivatives: dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine Herbal Products: St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) Hormonal Contraceptives: drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol Lipid-modifying Agents: lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor: nevirapine Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) Inhibitor: sildenafil when administered as Revatio ® for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension Protease Inhibitor: indinavir Sedative/hypnotics triazolam, orally administered midazolam Coadministration with certain drugs for which altered plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events or loss of therapeutic effect.

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There

is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors fetal outcomes in individuals exposed to TYBOST during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary TYBOST coadministered with darunavir or atazanavir is not recommended during pregnancy . In a clinical trial of individuals taking cobicistat coadministered with darunavir, exposures of cobicistat and darunavir were substantially lower during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy . TYBOST use during pregnancy has been evaluated in a limited number of individuals as reported by the APR, and available data show no significant difference in the rate of overall birth defects for cobicistat compared with the background rate for major defects of 2.7% in a U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) . The rate of miscarriage is not reported in the APR. The estimated background rate of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15−20%. In animal reproduction studies in rats and rabbits, no evidence of fetal harm was observed with oral administration of cobicistat during organogenesis at doses that produced exposures up to 1.4 and 3.3 times, respectively, the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 150 mg . Because TYBOST is coadministered with atazanavir or darunavir and other antiretroviral drugs, also refer to the prescribing information of each drug for information about pregnancy.

Data Human Data Cobicistat coadministered with darunavir as a fixed dose combination, in combination with a background regimen, was evaluated in a clinical trial of 7 pregnant individuals taking darunavir/cobicistat prior to enrollment and who were willing to remain on darunavir/cobicistat throughout the study. The study period included the second and third trimesters, and through 12 weeks postpartum. Six pregnant individuals completed the trial.

Exposure to darunavir and cobicistat as part of an antiretroviral regimen was substantially lower during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy compared with postpartum . One out of 6 individuals who completed the study experienced virologic failure with HIV-1 RNA >1,000 copies/mL from the third trimester visit through the postpartum period. Five individuals had sustained virologic response (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) throughout the study period. There are no clinical data on the virologic response when darunavir/cobicistat is initiated during pregnancy.

There were no new clinically relevant safety findings compared with the known safety profile of darunavir/cobicistat in adult participants with HIV-1. The APR has received prospective reports of live births following exposure to cobicistat-containing regimens during pregnancy, including over 600 exposures in the first trimester and over 90 exposures in the second/third trimester. The prevalence of birth defects in live births was 3.5% (95% CI: 2.2% to 5.3%) and 3.2% (95% CI: 0.7% to 9.1%) following first trimester and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to cobicistat-containing regimens.

Methodological limitations of the APR include the use of MACDP as the external comparator group. The MACDP population is not disease-specific, evaluates women and infants from a limited geographic area, and does not include outcomes for births that occurred at <20 weeks gestation. Animal Data Cobicistat was administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of 0, 25, 50, and 125 mg/kg/day on gestation day 6 to 17.

Maternal toxicity (adverse clinical signs, decreased body weight and food consumption) was noted at 125 mg/kg/day and was associated with increases in postimplantation loss and decreased fetal weights. No malformations were noted at doses up to 125 mg/kg/day. Systemic exposures (AUC) at 50 mg/kg/day in pregnant females were 1.4-fold higher than the exposures at the MRHD. In pregnant rabbits, cobicistat was administered orally at doses of 0, 20, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day during the gestation days 7 to 20.

No maternal or embryo/fetal effects were noted at the highest dose of 100 mg/kg/day. Systemic exposures (AUC) at 100 mg/kg/day were 3.3-fold higher than exposures at the MRHD. In a pre- and postnatal developmental study, cobicistat was administered orally at doses of 0, 10, 30, and 75 mg/kg from gestation day 6 to postnatal day 20, 21, or 22. At doses of 75 mg/kg/day of cobicistat, neither maternal nor developmental toxicity was noted.

Systemic exposures (AUC) at this dose were slightly lower than (0.9-fold) the MRHD.

The following adverse reaction is described in greater detail in another section of the labeling: New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment When Used with Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate . The most common adverse drug reactions observed with TYBOST in combination with atazanavir (incidence greater than 5%, Grades 2−4) are jaundice and rash.

6.1Clinical 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 practice. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials Experience in Adults The safety of TYBOST is based on Week 144 data from a Phase 3 trial, Trial 114, in which 692 antiretroviral treatment-naïve participants with HIV-1 received: TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir and TDF/emtricitabine (administered as TRUVADA) (N=344) or ritonavir coadministered with atazanavir and TDF/emtricitabine (administered as TRUVADA) (N=348). The most common adverse reactions (Grades 2−4) and reported in >5% of participants in the TYBOST group were jaundice (6%) and rash (5%).

The proportion of participants who discontinued study treatment due to adverse events, regardless of severity, was 11% in both the TYBOST and ritonavir groups. Table 4 displays the frequency of adverse reactions (Grades 2−4) occurring in at least 2% of participants in the TYBOST group in Trial 114. Table 4 Selected Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on Grades 2–4 adverse events attributed to study drugs. (Grades 2−4) Reported in ≥2% of Treatment-Naïve Adults with HIV-1 in the TYBOST Coadministered with Atazanavir Group in Trial 114 (Week 144 Analysis) TYBOST Coadministered with Atazanavir + TRUVADA N=344 Ritonavir Coadministered with Atazanavir + TRUVADA N=348 Jaundice 6% 3% Rash Rash events include dermatitis allergic, drug hypersensitivity, pruritus generalized, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, rash, rash generalized, rash macular, rash maculo-papular, rash morbilliform, rash papular, and urticaria. 5% 4% Ocular icterus 4% 2% Nausea 2% 2% Diarrhea 2% 1% Headache 2% 1% Less Common Adverse Reactions Selected adverse reactions of at least moderate severity (≥Grade 2) occurring in less than 2% of participants receiving TYBOST coadministered with atazanavir and TRUVADA are listed below.

These events have been included because of the investigator’s assessment of potential causal relationship and were considered serious or have been reported in more than one subject treated with TYBOST and with greater frequency compared with ritonavir. Gastrointestinal Disorders: vomiting, upper abdominal pain General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: fatigue Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: rhabdomyolysis Psychiatric Disorders: depression, abnormal dreams, insomnia Renal and Urinary Disorders: nephropathy, Fanconi syndrome acquired, nephrolithiasis Refer to the prescribing information for atazanavir or darunavir for information regarding adverse reactions with these drugs. Laboratory Abnormalities: The frequency of laboratory abnormalities (Grades 3−4) occurring in at least 2% of participants in the TYBOST group in Trial 114 is presented in Table 5 . Table 5 Laboratory Abnormalities (Grades 3−4) in ≥2% of Treatment-Naïve Adults with HIV-1 in the TYBOST Coadministered with Atazanavir Group in Trial 114 (Week 144 Analysis) TYBOST + Atazanavir + TRUVADA Ritonavir + Atazanavir + TRUVADA Laboratory Parameter Abnormality N=344 N=348 Total Bilirubin (>2.5 × ULN) 73% 66% Creatine Kinase (≥10.0 × ULN) 8% 9% Urine RBC (Hematuria) (>75 RBC/HPF) 6% 3% ALT (>5.0 × ULN) 6% 3% AST (>5.0 × ULN) 4% 3% GGT (>5.0 × ULN) 4% 2% Serum Amylase For participants with serum amylase >1.5 × upper limit of normal, lipase test was also performed.

The frequency of increased lipase (Grades 3−4) occurring in the TYBOST (N=46) and ritonavir (N=35) groups was 7% and 3%, respectively. (>2.0 × ULN) 4% 2% Urine Glucose (Glycosuria) (≥1000 mg/dL) 3% 3% Neutrophils (<750/mm 3 ) 3% 2% Serum Glucose (Hyperglycemia) (>250 mg/dL) 2% 2% Increase in Serum Creatinine : TYBOST causes increases in serum creatinine and decreases in estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function . In Trial 114, increases in serum creatinine and decreases in estimated creatinine clearance occurred early in treatment with TYBOST, after which they stabilized. The mean (± SD) change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by Cockcroft-Gault method after 144 weeks of treatment was –15.1 ± 16.5 mL/min in the TYBOST group and –8.0 ± 16.8 mL/min in the ritonavir group. Serum Lipids: Changes from baseline in total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides are presented in Table 6 . In both groups, mean values for serum lipids remained within the study reference range for each laboratory test.

The clinical significance of these changes is unknown.
