maraviroc · by viiv hlthcare
Maraviroc is a selective, slowly reversible, small molecule antagonist of the interaction between human CCR5 and HIV-1 gp120. Blocking this interaction prevents CCR5-tropic HIV-1 entry into cells. Maraviroc is available as film-coated tablets for oral administration containing either 150 or 300 mg of maraviroc and the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate. The tablets are coated with, Opadry II White contains lecithin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc and titanium dioxide. Maraviroc is chemically described as 4,4-Difluoro-N-[(1S)-3-[(3-exo)-3-[3-methyl-5- (1-methylethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]-1-phenylpropyl]-cyclohexane carboxamide. The molecular formula is C 29 H 41 F 2 N 5 O and the structural formula is: Maraviroc is a white to pale colored powder with a molecular weight of 513.67. It is freely soluble in methanol and hygroscopic. maraviroctabletstructure
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. ( 2.1 ) • Maraviroc tablets are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. Maraviroc tablets must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. ( 2.2 ) Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients: ( 2.3 ) Concomitant Medications Dosage of Maraviroc tablets When given with potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors (with or without potent CYP3A inducers) including PIs (except tipranavir/ritonavir) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 150 mg twice daily With NRTIs, tipranavir/ritonavir, nevirapine, raltegravir, and other drugs that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 300 mg twice daily With potent and moderate CYP3A inducers including efavirenz (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 600 mg twice daily A more complete list of coadministered drugs is listed in Dosage and Administration. ( 2 ) Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients 2 years and older and weighing at Least 10 kg: Administer twice daily. Dosage should be based on body weight (kg) and concomitant medications and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. ( 2.4 ) Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment may be necessary in adult patients with renal impairment. (…
The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: • Hepatotoxicity [ see Boxed Warning, Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] • Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ] • Cardiovascular Events [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ] • The most common adverse events in treatment-experienced adult subjects (greater than 8% incidence) which occurred at a higher frequency compared with placebo are upper respiratory tract infections, cough, pyrexia, rash, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) • The most common adverse events in treatment-naive adult subjects (greater than 8% incidence) which occurred at a higher frequency than the comparator arm are upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, flatulence, bloating and distention, upper respiratory tract signs and symptoms, and gastrointestinal atonic and hypomotility disorders. ( 6.1 ) • The most common adverse reactions in treatment-experienced pediatric subjects (greater than or equal to 3% incidence) are vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and dizziness.

Important safety information
BOXED WARNING WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY Hepatotoxicity has been reported with use of maraviroc tablets. Severe rash or evidence of a systemic allergic reaction (e.g., fever, eosinophilia, or elevated IgE) prior to the development of hepatotoxicity may occur. Patients with signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction following use of maraviroc tablets should be evaluated immediately [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. • Hepatotoxicity has been reported which may be preceded by severe rash or other features of a systemic allergic reaction (e.g., fever, eosinophilia, or elevated IgE). ( 5.1 ) • Immediately evaluate patients with signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction. ( 5.1 )
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Coadministration with CYP3A inhibitors, including protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), will increase the concentration of maraviroc. ( 7.1 ) • Coadministration with CYP3A inducers, including efavirenz, may decrease the concentration of maraviroc. ( 7.1 ) • Coadministration with St. John’s wort is not recommended. ( 7.1 ). 7.1 Effect of Concomitant Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Maraviroc Maraviroc is metabolized by CYP3A and is also a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)2. The pharmacokinetics of maraviroc are likely to be modulated by inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A and P-gp and may be modulated by inhibitors of OATP1B1 and MRP2. Therefore, a dosage adjustment may be required when maraviroc is coadministered with those drugs [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 , 2.4 ) ]. Concomitant use of maraviroc and St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) or products containing St. John's wort is not recommended. Coadministration of maraviroc with St. John's wort is expected to substantially decrease maraviroc concentrations and may result in suboptimal levels of maraviroc and lead to loss of virologic response and possible resistance to maraviroc. Additional drug interaction information is available [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ].
