Maraviroc Drug Information

• Maraviroc tablets are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of only CCR5-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older weighing at least 10 kg. Limitations of Use:
• Maraviroc tablets are not recommended in patients with dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1. Maraviroc tablet is a CCR5 co-receptor antagonist indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older weighing at least 10 kg. Limitations of Use:
• Not recommended in patients with dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1.

Testing prior to Initiation of Maraviroc Tablets Prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. Maraviroc tablets are recommended for patients with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. Outgrowth of pre-existing low-level CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 not detected by tropism testing at screening has been associated with virologic failure on maraviroc tablets.

Monitor patients for ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated.

General Dosing Recommendations •

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. • The recommended dosage of maraviroc tablets differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions.

Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients with Normal Renal Function Table 1 displays oral dosage of maraviroc tablets based on different concomitant medications. Table 1. Recommended Dosage in Adults a Potent CYP3A inhibitors (with or without a potent CYP3A inducer) including: clarithromycin, cobicistat, elvitegravir/ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), telithromycin. b Noninteracting concomitant medications include all medications that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers such as: dolutegravir, enfuvirtide, nevirapine, all nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), raltegravir, and tipranavir/ritonavir. c Potent and moderate CYP3A inducers (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) including: carbamazepine, efavirenz, etravirine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and rifampin.

Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients with Normal Renal Function The recommended dosage of maraviroc tablets should be based on body weight (kg) and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. The recommended dosage also differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions (Table 2 and Table 3). Before prescribing maraviroc tablets, assess children for the ability to swallow tablets.

If a child is unable to reliably swallow maraviroc tablets, the oral solution formulation should be prescribed. The recommended oral dosage of maraviroc tablets in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older weighing at least 10 kg is presented in Table 2. Table 2.

The recommended oral dosage of maraviroc oral solution in pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg is presented in Table 3. Table 3.

Administer the oral solution using the included press-in bottle adapter and the appropriate oral dosing syringe: for doses of 2.5 mL, use the 3-mL syringe; for doses greater than 2.5 mL, use the 10-mL syringe.

Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment Adult Patients Table 4 provides dosing recommendations for patients based on renal function and concomitant medications. Table 4. Pediatric Patients There are no data to recommend specific doses of maraviroc tablets in pediatric patients with mild or moderate renal impairment.

Additionally, maraviroc tablets are contraindicated for pediatric patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on regular hemodialysis who are receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers.

Clinical 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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Subjects Treatment-Experienced Subjects: The safety profile of maraviroc is primarily based on 840 HIV-1-infected subjects who received at least 1 dose of maraviroc during two Phase 3 trials. A total of 426 of these subjects received the indicated twice-daily dosing regimen.

Assessment of treatment-emergent adverse events is based on the pooled data from 2 trials in subjects with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 (A4001027 and A4001028). The median duration of therapy with maraviroc for subjects in these trials was 48 weeks, with the total exposure on maraviroc twice daily at 309 patient-years versus 111 patient-years on placebo each administered with optimized background therapy (OBT). Subjects received dose equivalents of 300 mg maraviroc once or twice daily.

The most common adverse events reported with twice-daily therapy with maraviroc with frequency rates higher than placebo, regardless of causality, were upper respiratory tract infections, cough, pyrexia, rash, and dizziness. In these 2 trials, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events was 5% for subjects who received maraviroc twice daily + OBT as well as those who received placebo + OBT. Most of the adverse events reported were judged to be mild to moderate in severity.

The data described below occurred with twice-daily dosing of maraviroc. The total numbers of subjects reporting infections were in the group receiving maraviroc twice daily and the placebo group, respectively. Correcting for the longer duration of exposure on maraviroc compared with placebo, the exposure-adjusted frequency (rate per 100 subject-years) of these events was 133 for both maraviroc twice daily and placebo.

Treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of causality, from Trials A4001027 and A4001028 are summarized in Table 5. Selected events occurring at greater than or equal to 2% of subjects and at a numerically higher rate in subjects treated with maraviroc are included; events that occurred at the same or higher rate on placebo are not displayed. Table 5.

Less Common Adverse Events in Clinical Trials: The following adverse events occurred in less than 2% of subjects treated with maraviroc or at a rate similar to the comparator. These events have been included because of their seriousness and either increased frequency on maraviroc or are potential risks due to the mechanism of action. Events attributed to the subject’s underlying HIV-1 infection are not listed.

Cardiac Disorders: Unstable angina, acute cardiac failure, coronary artery disease, coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia. Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hepatic cirrhosis, hepatic failure, cholestatic jaundice, portal vein thrombosis, jaundice.

Infections and Infestations: Endocarditis, infective myositis, viral meningitis, pneumonia, treponema infections, septic shock, Clostridium difficile colitis, meningitis. Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: Myositis, osteonecrosis, rhabdomyolysis, blood CK increased. Neoplasms Benign, Malignant, and Unspecified (Including Cysts and Polyps): Abdominal neoplasm, anal cancer, basal cell carcinoma, Bowen’s disease, cholangiocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, lymphoma, metastases to liver, esophageal carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, tongue neoplasm (malignant stage unspecified), anaplastic large cell lymphomas T- and null-cell types, bile duct neoplasms malignant, endocrine neoplasms malignant and unspecified.

Nervous System Disorders: Cerebrovascular accident, convulsions and epilepsy, tremor (excluding congenital), facial palsy, hemianopia, loss of consciousness, visual field defect. Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Subjects HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Subjects: Trial A4001031 is an open-label trial in which 103 treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg received maraviroc twice daily in combination with OBT. The dose of maraviroc was based on body surface area (BSA) and on whether the subject was receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and/or inducers.

In these 103 children and adolescents, the safety profile through 96 weeks was similar to that for adults. Most of the adverse reactions reported were mild to moderate; severe (Grade 3 and 4) adverse reactions occurred in 2% of subjects. Three subjects (3%) discontinued due to adverse events.

Maraviroc-related gastrointestinal adverse events through 48 weeks (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain/cramps) were observed more commonly in subjects who received the maraviroc oral solution (21%) compared with those who received maraviroc tablets (16%). Subjects were permitted to change formulations after Week 48.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse events have been identified during post-approval use of maraviroc. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

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.

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.

Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to maraviroc during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Limited data on the use of maraviroc during pregnancy from the APR and case reports are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of birth defects and miscarriage.

In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed with maraviroc. During organogenesis in the rat and rabbit, systemic exposures (AUC) to maraviroc were approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maternal systemic exposure (AUC) to maraviroc was approximately 14 times the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose ( see Data ).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is respectively.

Data Animal Data: Maraviroc was administered orally to pregnant rats (up to 1,000 mg per kg per day) and rabbits (up to 75 mg per kg per day) on gestation Days respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed at these dose levels, resulting in exposures (AUC) approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maraviroc was administered orally at up to 1,000 mg per kg per day on gestation Day 6 to lactation/post-partum Day 20, with development of the offspring (including fertility and reproductive performance) unaffected by maternal administration of maraviroc at an exposure (AUC) approximately 14 times higher than human exposure at the recommended daily dose.

Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of maraviroc have been established in pediatric patients aged from aged 2 to less than 18 years. The use of maraviroc in pediatric patients was supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data described below and by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients, Dosage and Administration ]. HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years: The safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and antiviral activity of maraviroc were evaluated in treatment-experienced, CCR5- tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg in an open-label, multicenter clinical trial, A4001031.

Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in a total of 98 pediatric subjects: 85 subjects received maraviroc and concomitant medications that included potent CYP3A inhibitors with or without potent CYP3A inducers, 10 subjects received maraviroc and noninteracting medications (not containing potent CYP3A inhibitors or potent CYP3A inducers), and three subjects received maraviroc and medications that included potent CYP3A inducers without potent CYP3A inhibitors. There are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations for use of maraviroc in pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and weighing less than 10 kg, or in any pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inducers without a potent CYP3A inhibitor. Maraviroc is not recommended in pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg.

• Maraviroc tablets are contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD (CrCl less than 30 mL per minute) who are concomitantly taking potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers.

The highest single dose administered in clinical trials was 1,200 mg. The dose-limiting adverse event was postural hypotension, which was observed at 600 mg. While the recommended dose for maraviroc in patients receiving a CYP3A inducer without a CYP3A inhibitor is 600 mg twice daily, this dose is appropriate due to enhanced metabolism.

Prolongation of the QT interval was seen in dogs and monkeys at plasma concentrations 6 and 12 times, respectively, those expected in humans at the intended exposure of 300-mg equivalents twice daily. However, no significant QT prolongation was seen in the trials in treatment-experienced subjects with HIV using the recommended doses of maraviroc, or in a specific pharmacokinetic trial to evaluate the potential of maraviroc to prolong the QT interval. There is no specific antidote for overdose with maraviroc.

Treatment of overdose should consist of general supportive measures including keeping the patient in a supine position, careful assessment of patient vital signs, blood pressure, and ECG. Administration of activated charcoal may also be used to aid in removal of unabsorbed drug. Hemodialysis had a minimal effect on maraviroc clearance and exposure in a trial in subjects with ESRD.
