14.4 Clinical Trial Results in HIV-1 Infected Subjects with Renal Impairment

Study 112: Virologically-suppressed adults with renal impairment

In Study 112, the efficacy and safety of GENVOYA once daily were evaluated in an open-label clinical trial of 248 HIV-1 infected subjects with renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance between 30 and 69 mL per minute by Cockcroft-Gault method). Of the 248 enrolled, 6 were treatment-naïve and 242 were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL) for at least 6 months before switching to GENVOYA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

The mean age was 58 years (range 24–82), with 63 subjects (26%) who were 65 years of age or older. Seventy-nine percent were male, 63% were White, 18% were Black, and 14% were Asian. Thirteen percent of subjects identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 664 cells per mm3 (range 126–1813). At Week 144, 81% (197/242 virologically suppressed subjects) maintained HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL after switching to GENVOYA. All six treatment-naïve subjects were virologically suppressed at Week 144. Five subjects among the entire study population had virologic failure at Week 144.

Study 1825: Virologically-suppressed adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving chronic hemodialysis

In Study 1825, the efficacy and safety of GENVOYA once daily were evaluated in an open-label clinical trial of 55 virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL for at least 6 months before switching to GENVOYA) HIV-1 infected subjects with ESRD (estimated creatinine clearance of less than 15 mL per minute by Cockcroft-Gault method) receiving chronic hemodialysis for at least 6 months [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Subjects had a mean age of 48 years (range 23–64), 76% were male, 82% were Black, 18% were White, and 15% identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 545 cell per mm3 (range 205–1473). At Week 48, 82% (45/55) maintained HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL after switching to GENVOYA. Two subjects had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies per mL by Week 48. Seven subjects discontinued the study drug due to AE or other reasons while suppressed. One subject did not have an HIV-1 RNA measurement at Week 48.

14.5 Clinical Trial Results in HIV-1 Infected Pediatric Subjects Between the Ages of 6 to Less than 18 Years

In Study 106, an open-label, single arm trial the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of GENVOYA in HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects were evaluated in treatment-naïve adolescents between the ages of 12 to less than 18 years weighing at least 35 kg (N=50) and in virologically-suppressed children between the ages of 6 to less than 12 years weighing at least 25 kg (N=52).

Cohort 1: Treatment-naïve adolescents (12 to less than 18 years; at least 35 kg)

Subjects in cohort 1 treated with GENVOYA once daily had a mean age of 15 years (range 12-17); 44% were male, 12% were Asian, and 88% were Black. At baseline, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.6 log10 copies per mL (22% had baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA greater than 100,000 copies per mL), mean (SD) CD4+ cell count was 471 (212.2) cells per mm3 , and mean (SD) CD4+ percentage was 23.6% (8.8%).

In subjects in cohort 1 treated with GENVOYA, 92% (46/50) achieved HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL at Week 48. The mean increase from baseline in CD4+ cell count at Week 48 was 224 cells per mm3. Three of 50 subjects had virologic failure at Week 48; no emergent resistance to GENVOYA was detected through Week 48.

Cohort 2: Virologically-suppressed children (6 to less than 12 years; at least 25 kg)

Subjects in cohort 2 treated with GENVOYA once daily had a mean age of 10 years (range: 7–11), a mean baseline weight of 31.7 kg, 42% were male, 25% were Asian, and 71% were Black. At baseline, the mean (SD) CD4+ cell count was 961 (275.5) cells per mm3 and the mean (SD) CD4 percentage was 38.2% (6.4%). After switching to GENVOYA, 98% (51/52) of subjects in cohort 2 remained suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) at Week 48. No subject qualified for resistance analysis through Week 48. The mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count was -66 (203.6) cells per mm3 and the mean (SD) change in CD4 percentage was -0.6% (4.4%) at Week 48. All subjects maintained CD4+ cell counts above 400 cells/mm3 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Pediatric Use (8.4)].

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information).

Drug Interactions

GENVOYA may interact with many drugs; therefore, advise patients to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other prescription or non-prescription medication or herbal products including St. John’s wort [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7)].

Post-treatment Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients with HBV Co-Infection

Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued products containing emtricitabine and/or TDF, and may likewise occur with discontinuation of GENVOYA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Advise the patient to not discontinue GENVOYA without first informing their healthcare provider.

Immune Reconstitution Syndrome

Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection, as in some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

Renal Impairment

Advise patients to avoid taking GENVOYA with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic agents. Postmarketing cases of renal impairment, including acute renal failure, have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

Lactic Acidosis and Severe Hepatomegaly

Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with use of drugs similar to GENVOYA. Advise patients that they should stop GENVOYA if they develop clinical symptoms suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

Missed Dosage

Inform patients that it is important to take GENVOYA on a regular dosing schedule with food and to avoid missing doses as it can result in development of resistance [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

Pregnancy

Advise patients that GENVOYA is not recommended during pregnancy and to alert their healthcare provider if they become pregnant while taking GENVOYA [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Inform patients that there is an antiretroviral pregnancy registry to monitor fetal outcomes of pregnant individuals exposed to GENVOYA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Lactation

Instruct patients with HIV-1 infection not to breastfeed because HIV-1 can be passed to the baby in breast milk [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

Important: Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about medicines that should not be taken with GENVOYA. For more information, see the section “What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking GENVOYA?

What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA?

GENVOYA can cause serious side effects, including:

  • Worsening of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Your healthcare provider will test you for HBV infection before or when you start treatment with GENVOYA. If you have HBV infection and take GENVOYA, your HBV may get worse (flare-up) if you stop taking GENVOYA. A “flare-up” is when your HBV infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before.
    • Do not run out of GENVOYA. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your GENVOYA is all gone.
    • Do not stop taking GENVOYA without first talking to your healthcare provider.
    • If you stop taking GENVOYA, your healthcare provider will need to check your health often and do blood tests regularly for several months to check your liver, and may give you a medicine to treat hepatitis B. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or unusual symptoms you may have after you stop taking GENVOYA.

For more information about side effects, see “What are the possible side effects of GENVOYA?

What is GENVOYA?

GENVOYA is a prescription medicine that is used without other human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) medicines to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and children who weigh at least 55 pounds (25 kg):

  • who have not received HIV-1 medicines in the past, or
  • to replace their current HIV-1 medicines for people whose healthcare provider determines that they meet certain requirements.

HIV-1 is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

GENVOYA contains the prescription medicines elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide.

It is not known if GENVOYA is safe and effective in children who weigh less than 55 pounds (25 kg).

Do not take GENVOYA if you also take a medicine that contains:
  • alfuzosin hydrochloride
  • carbamazepine
  • ergot-containing medicines, including:
    • dihydroergotamine mesylate
    • ergotamine tartrate
    • methylergonovine maleate
  • lomitapide
  • lovastatin
  • lurasidone
  • midazolam, when taken by mouth
  • phenobarbital
  • phenytoin
  • pimozide

  • sildenafil, when used for treating the lung problem, pulmonary arterial hypertension
  • simvastatin
  • triazolam
  • St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) or a product that contains St. John’s wort.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking GENVOYA?

Before taking GENVOYA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have liver problems, including HBV infection
  • have kidney problems
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
    • It is not known if GENVOYA can harm your unborn baby.
    • GENVOYA should not be used during pregnancy because you may not have enough GENVOYA in your body during pregnancy.
    • Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during treatment with GENVOYA. Your healthcare provider may prescribe different medicines if you become pregnant while taking GENVOYA.

    Pregnancy Registry: There is a pregnancy registry for women who take antiretroviral medicines during pregnancy. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider about how you can take part in this registry.

  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you take GENVOYA.
    • You should not breastfeed if you have HIV-1 because of the risk of passing HIV-1 to your baby.
    • At least one of the medicines in GENVOYA can pass to your baby in your breast milk. It is not known if the other medicines in GENVOYA can pass into your breast milk.

    Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with GENVOYA.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take , including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Some medicines may interact with GENVOYA. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

  • You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with GENVOYA.
  • Do not start a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take GENVOYA with other medicines.

How should I take GENVOYA?

  • Take GENVOYA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it. GENVOYA is taken by itself (not with other HIV-1 medicines) to treat HIV-1 infection.
  • Take GENVOYA 1 time each day with food.
  • If you are on dialysis, take your daily dose of GENVOYA following dialysis.
  • Do not change your dose or stop taking GENVOYA without first talking with your healthcare provider. Stay under a healthcare provider’s care during treatment with GENVOYA.
  • If you need to take a medicine for indigestion (antacid) that contains aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium carbonate during treatment with GENVOYA, take it at least 2 hours before or after you take GENVOYA.
  • Do not miss a dose of GENVOYA.
  • When your GENVOYA supply starts to run low, get more from your healthcare provider or pharmacy. This is very important because the amount of virus in your blood may increase if the medicine is stopped for even a short time. The virus may develop resistance to GENVOYA and become harder to treat.
  • If you take too much GENVOYA, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.

What are the possible side effects of GENVOYA?

GENVOYA may cause serious side effects, including:

  • See “What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA?
  • Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having any new symptoms after starting your HIV-1 medicine.
  • New or worse kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your healthcare provider should do blood and urine tests to check your kidneys when starting and during treatment with GENVOYA. Your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking GENVOYA if you develop new or worse kidney problems.
  • Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis). Too much lactic acid is a serious but rare medical emergency that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get these symptoms: weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, stomach pain with nausea and vomiting, cold or blue hands and feet, feel dizzy or lightheaded, or a fast or abnormal heartbeat.
  • Severe liver problems. In rare cases, severe liver problems can happen that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get these symptoms: skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, or stomach-area pain.

The most common side effect of GENVOYA is nausea.

These are not all the possible side effects of GENVOYA.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
