Overview
Emtricitabine, Rilpivirine Hydrochloride, And Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is an anti- HIV agent that is FDA approved for the treatment of HIV infection. Common adverse reactions include depressive disorders, insomnia, and headache, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, abnormal dreams, and rash..
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
COMPLERA, a combination of two nucleoside analog HIV 1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (rilpivirine), is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult patients with no antiretroviral treatment history and with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL at the start of therapy, and in certain virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) adult patients on a stable antiretroviral regimen at start of therapy in order to replace their current antiretroviral treatment regimen (see below).
The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with COMPLERA in adult patients with no antiretroviral treatment history:
More rilpivirine-treated subjects 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 subjects with HIV-1 RNA less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL.
Regardless of HIV-1 RNA level at the start of therapy, more rilpivirine-treated subjects with CD4+ cell count less than 200 cells/mm3 experienced virologic failure compared to rilpivirine-treated subjects with CD4+ cell count greater than or equal to 200 cells/mm3.
The observed virologic failure rate in rilpivirine-treated subjects conferred a higher rate of overall treatment resistance and cross-resistance to the NNRTI class compared to efavirenz.
More subjects treated with rilpivirine developed tenofovir and lamivudine/emtricitabine associated resistance compared to efavirenz.
The efficacy of COMPLERA was established in patients who were virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) on stable ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor-containing regimen. The following points should be met when considering replacing the current regimen with COMPLERA in virologically-suppressed adults:
Patients should have no history of virologic failure.
Patients should have been stably suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months prior to switching therapy.
Patients should currently be on their first or second antiretroviral regimen prior to switching therapy.
Patients should have no current or past history of resistance to any of the three components of COMPLERA.
Additional monitoring of HIV-1 RNA and regimen tolerability is recommended after replacing therapy to assess for potential virologic failure or rebound.
COMPLERA is not recommended for patients less than 18 years of age.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Adults: The recommended dose of COMPLERA is one tablet taken orally once daily with food.
Renal Impairment: Because COMPLERA is a fixed-dose combination, it should not be prescribed for patients requiring dose reduction such as those with moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance below 50 mL per minute).
Rifabutin Coadministration: If COMPLERA is coadministered with rifabutin, an additional 25 mg tablet of rilpivirine (Edurant®) once per day is recommended to be taken concomitantly with COMPLERA and with a meal for the duration of the rifabutin coadministration.
