( 1 )

Dosage & Administration

Adult patients: 200 mg (one 200 mg tablet or two 100 mg tablets) taken twice daily following a meal. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.4 ) Pregnant patients: 200 mg (one 200 mg tablet or two 100 mg tablets) taken twice daily following a meal. ( 2.2 ) Pediatric patients (2 years to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg): dosage of INTELENCE is based on body weight and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. INTELENCE tablets should be taken following a meal. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients The recommended oral dosage of INTELENCE for adult patients is 200 mg (one 200 mg tablet or two 100 mg tablets) taken twice daily following a meal. The type of food does not affect the exposure to INTELENCE [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage During Pregnancy The recommended oral dosage of INTELENCE for pregnant individuals is 200 mg (one 200 mg tablet or two 100 mg tablets) taken twice daily following a meal [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . 2.3 Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients (2 Years to Less Than 18 Years of Age) The recommended dosage of INTELENCE for pediatric patients 2 years to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg is based on body weight (see Table 1 ) not exceeding the recommended adult dosage. INTELENCE should be taken orally, following a meal. The type of food does not affect the exposure to INTELENCE [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Table 1: Recommended Dosage of INTELENCE for Pediatric Patients 2 Years to Less Than 18 Years of Age Body Weight kilograms (kg) Dose greater than or equal to 10 kg to less than 20 kg 100 mg twice daily greater than or equal to 20 kg to less than 25 kg 125 mg twice daily greater than or equal to 25 kg to less than 30 kg 150 mg twice daily greater than or equal to 30 kg 200 mg twice daily 2.4 Method of Administration Instruct patients to swallow the INTELENCE tablet(s) whole with liquid such as water. Patients who are unable to swallow the INTELENCE tablet(s) whole may disperse the tablet(s) in water. Instruct the patient to do the following: place the tablet(s) in 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of water, or at least enough liquid to cover the medication, stir well until the water looks milky, add approximately 15 mL (1 tablespoon) of liquid. Water may be used but other liquids, such as orange juice or milk, may improve taste. Patients should not place the tablets in orange juice or milk without first adding water. The use of warm (temperature greater than 104°F [greater than 40°C]) or carbonated beverages should be avoided. drink the mixture immediately, rinse the glass several times with orange juice, milk or water and completely swallow the rinse each time to make sure the patient takes the entire dose.

Warnings & Precautions
Severe, potentially life threatening and fatal skin reactions have been reported. This includes cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hypersensitivity reaction, toxic epidermal necrolysis and erythema multiforme. Immediately discontinue treatment if severe hypersensitivity, severe rash or rash with systemic symptoms or liver transaminase elevations develops and monitor clinical status, including liver transaminases closely. ( 5.1 ) Monitor for immune reconstitution syndrome and fat redistribution. ( 5.3 , 5.4 ) 5.1 Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe, potentially life-threatening and fatal skin reactions have been reported. In clinical trials, these include cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis and erythema multiforme. Hypersensitivity reactions including Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) have also been reported and were characterized by rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including hepatic failure. In Phase 3 clinical trials, Grade 3 and 4 rashes were reported in 1.3% of subjects receiving INTELENCE compared to 0.2% of placebo subjects. A total of 2.2% of HIV-1-infected subjects receiving INTELENCE discontinued from Phase 3 trials due to rash [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Rash occurred most commonly during the first 6 weeks of therapy. The incidence of rash was higher in females [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Stevens-Johnson syndrome was reported in 1.1% (2/177) of pediatric patients less than 18 years of age receiving INTELENCE in combination with other HIV-1 antiretroviral agents in an observational study. Discontinue INTELENCE immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions or hypersensitivity reactions develop (including, but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, facial edema, hepatitis, eosinophilia, angioedema). Clinical status including liver transaminases should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. Delay in stopping INTELENCE treatment after the onset of severe rash may result in a life-threatening reaction. 5.2 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of INTELENCE and other drugs may result in potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to [see Drug Interactions (7.3)] : Loss of therapeutic effect of concomitant drug or INTELENCE and possible development of resistance. Possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of INTELENCE or other concomitant drugs. See Table 4 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 INTELENCE therapy and review concomitant medications during INTELENCE therapy. 5.3 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including INTELENCE. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune system responds may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) or tuberculosis), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment. 5.4 Fat Redistribution Redistribution/accumulation of body fat, including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and "cushingoid appearance" have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. A causal relationship has not been established.

Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions are described in greater detail in other sections: Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Immune reconstitution syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . The most common adverse drug reactions of moderate to severe intensity (at least 2%) which occurred at a higher rate than placebo in adults are rash and peripheral neuropathy. ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse drug reactions in at least 2% of pediatric patients are rash and diarrhea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen Products, LP at 1-800-JANSSEN (1-800-526-7736) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 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 to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials Experience in Adults The safety assessment is based on all data from 1203 subjects in the Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials, TMC125-C206 and TMC125-C216, conducted in antiretroviral treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected adult subjects, 599 of whom received INTELENCE (200 mg twice daily). In these pooled trials, the median exposure for subjects in the INTELENCE arm and placebo arm was 52.3 and 51.0 weeks, respectively. Discontinuations due to adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were 5.2% in the INTELENCE arm and 2.6% in the placebo arm. The most frequently reported ADR at least Grade 2 in severity was rash (10.0%). Stevens-Johnson syndrome, drug hypersensitivity reaction and erythema multiforme were reported in less than 0.1% of subjects during clinical development with INTELENCE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . A total of 2.2% of HIV-1-infected subjects in Phase 3 trials receiving INTELENCE discontinued due to rash. In general, in clinical trials, rash was mild to moderate, occurred primarily in the second week of therapy, and was infrequent after Week 4. Rash generally resolved within 1 to 2 weeks on continued therapy. The incidence of rash was higher in women compared to men in the INTELENCE arm in the Phase 3 trials (rash ≥ Grade 2 was reported in 9/60 [15.0%] women versus 51/539 [9.5%] men; discontinuations due to rash were reported in 3/60 [5.0%] women versus 10/539 [1.9%] men) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with a history of NNRTI-related rash did not appear to be at increased risk for the development of INTELENCE-related rash compared to patients without a history of NNRTI-related rash. Common Adverse Reactions Clinical ADRs of moderate intensity or greater (greater than or equal to Grade 2) and reported in at least 2% of subjects treated with INTELENCE and occurring at a higher rate compared to placebo (excess of 1%) are presented in Table 2. Laboratory abnormalities considered ADRs are included in Table 3.

AST and ALT abnormalities occurred more frequently in hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus co-infected subjects for both treatment groups. Grade 2 or higher laboratory abnormalities that represent a worsening from baseline of AST, ALT or total bilirubin occurred in 27.8%, 25.0% and 7.1% respectively, of INTELENCE-treated co-infected subjects as compared to 6.7%, 7.5% and 1.8% of non-co-infected INTELENCE-treated subjects. In general, adverse events reported by INTELENCE-treated subjects with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus co-infection were similar to INTELENCE-treated subjects without hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus co-infection. Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Subjects (2 Years to Less Than 18 years of age) The safety assessment in pediatric subjects is based on two single-arm trials. TMC125-C213 is a Phase 2 trial in which 101 antiretroviral treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects 6 years to less than 18 years of age received INTELENCE in combination with other antiretroviral agents (Week 24 analysis). TMC125-C234/IMPAACT P1090 is a Phase 1/2 trial in which 20 antiretroviral treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects 2 years to less than 6 years of age received INTELENCE in combination with other antiretroviral agents (Week 24 analysis) [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . In TMC125-C213, the frequency, type and severity of adverse drug reactions in pediatric subjects 6 years to less than 18 years of age were comparable to those observed in adult subjects, except for rash which was observed more frequently in pediatric subjects. The most common adverse drug reactions in at least 2% of pediatric subjects were rash and diarrhea. Rash was reported more frequently in female subjects than in male subjects (rash ≥ Grade 2 was reported in 13/64 [20.3%] females versus 2/37 [5.4%] males; discontinuations due to rash were reported in 4/64 [6.3%] females versus 0/37 [0%] males). Rash (greater than or equal to Grade 2) occurred in 15% of pediatric subjects from 6 years to less than 18 years of age. In the majority of cases, rash was mild to moderate, of macular/papular type, and occurred in the second week of therapy. Rash was self-limiting and generally resolved within 1 week on continued therapy. The safety profile for subjects who completed 48 weeks of treatment was similar to the safety profile for subjects who completed 24 weeks of treatment. In TMC125-C234/IMPAACT P1090, the frequency, type and severity of adverse drug reactions in pediatric subjects 2 years to less than 6 years of age through Week 24 were comparable to those observed in adults. The most common adverse drug reactions (any grade) of pediatric subjects were rash (50% [10/20]) and diarrhea (25% [5/20]). In this age group, no subjects had Grade 3 or Grade 4 rash and no subjects discontinued prematurely due to rash. One subject discontinued etravirine due to asymptomatic lipase elevation. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following events have been identified during postmarketing use of INTELENCE. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune System Disorders : Severe hypersensitivity reactions including DRESS and cases of hepatic failure have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders : rhabdomyolysis Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders : Fatal cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

Drug Interactions

Co-administration of INTELENCE with other drugs can alter the concentrations of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations of etravirine. The potential drug-drug interactions must be considered prior to and during therapy. ( 7 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect INTELENCE Etravirine is a substrate of CYP3A, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Therefore, co-administration of INTELENCE with drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 may alter the therapeutic effect or adverse reaction profile of INTELENCE (see Table 4 ) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 7.2 Potential for INTELENCE to Affect Other Drugs Etravirine is an inducer of CYP3A and inhibitor of CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Therefore, co-administration of drugs that are substrates of CYP3A, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 or are transported by P-gp with INTELENCE may alter the therapeutic effect or adverse reaction profile of the co-administered drug(s) (see Table 4 ) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 7.3 Significant Drug Interactions Table 4 shows significant drug interactions based on which, alterations in dose or regimen of INTELENCE and/or co-administered drug may be recommended. Drugs that are not recommended for co-administration with INTELENCE are also included in Table 4 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Table 4: Significant Drug Interactions Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Effect on Concentration of Etravirine or Concomitant Drug Clinical Comment ↑ = increase; ↓ = decrease; ↔ = no change HIV-antiviral agents: integrase strand inhibitors dolutegravir The interaction between INTELENCE and the drug was evaluated in a clinical study. All other drug interactions shown are predicted. ↓ dolutegravir ↔ etravirine Etravirine significantly reduced plasma concentrations of dolutegravir. Using cross - study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for etravirine, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of etravirine. dolutegravir/darunavir/ritonavir ↓ dolutegravir ↔ etravirine The effect of etravirine on dolutegravir plasma concentrations was mitigated by co-administration of darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir, and is expected to be mitigated by atazanavir/ritonavir. Dolutegravir should only be used with INTELENCE when co-administered with atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or lopinavir/ritonavir. dolutegravir/lopinavir/ritonavir ↔ dolutegravir ↔ etravirine HIV-antiviral agents: non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) efavirenz nevirapine ↓ etravirine Combining two NNRTIs has not been shown to be beneficial. Concomitant use of INTELENCE with efavirenz or nevirapine may cause a significant decrease in the plasma concentrations of etravirine and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Co-administration of INTELENCE and other NNRTIs is not recommended. delavirdine ↑ etravirine Combining two NNRTIs has not been shown to be beneficial. INTELENCE and delavirdine should not be co-administered. rilpivirine ↓ rilpivirine ↔ etravirine Combining two NNRTIs has not been shown to be beneficial. Co-administration of INTELENCE and rilpivirine is not recommended. HIV-antiviral agents: protease inhibitors (PIs) atazanavir (without ritonavir) ↓ atazanavir Co-administration of INTELENCE and atazanavir without low-dose ritonavir is not recommended. atazanavir/ritonavir ↓ atazanavir ↔ etravirine Concomitant use of INTELENCE with atazanavir/ritonavir decreased atazanavir C min but it is not considered clinically relevant. The mean systemic exposure (AUC) of etravirine after co-administration of INTELENCE with atazanavir/ritonavir in HIV-infected subjects was similar to the mean systemic exposure of etravirine observed in the Phase 3 trials after co-administration of INTELENCE and darunavir/ritonavir (as part of the background regimen). INTELENCE and atazanavir/ritonavir can be co-administered without dose adjustments. atazanavir/cobicistat ↓ atazanavir ↓ cobicistat Co-administration of INTELENCE with atazanavir/cobicistat is not recommended because it may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to atazanavir. darunavir/ritonavir ↓ etravirine The mean systemic exposure (AUC) of etravirine was reduced when INTELENCE was co-administered with darunavir/ritonavir. Because all subjects in the Phase 3 trials received darunavir/ritonavir as part of the background regimen and etravirine exposures from these trials were determined to be safe and effective, INTELENCE and darunavir/ritonavir can be co-administered without dose adjustments. darunavir/cobicistat ↓ cobicistat darunavir: effect unknown Co-administration of INTELENCE with darunavir/cobicistat is not recommended because it may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to darunavir. fosamprenavir (without ritonavir) ↑ amprenavir Concomitant use of INTELENCE with fosamprenavir without low-dose ritonavir may cause a significant alteration in the plasma concentration of amprenavir. Co-administration of INTELENCE and fosamprenavir without low-dose ritonavir is not recommended. fosamprenavir/ritonavir ↑ amprenavir Due to a significant increase in the systemic exposure of amprenavir, the appropriate doses of the combination of INTELENCE and fosamprenavir/ritonavir have not been established. Co-administration of INTELENCE and fosamprenavir/ritonavir is not recommended. indinavir (without ritonavir) ↓ indinavir Concomitant use of INTELENCE with indinavir without low-dose ritonavir may cause a significant alteration in the plasma concentration of indinavir. Co-administration of INTELENCE and indinavir without low-dose ritonavir is not recommended. lopinavir/ritonavir ↓ etravirine The mean systemic exposure (AUC) of etravirine was reduced after co-administration of INTELENCE with lopinavir/ritonavir (tablet). Because the reduction in the mean systemic exposures of etravirine in the presence of lopinavir/ritonavir is similar to the reduction in mean systemic exposures of etravirine in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir, INTELENCE and lopinavir/ritonavir can be co-administered without dose adjustments. nelfinavir (without ritonavir) ↑ nelfinavir Concomitant use of INTELENCE with nelfinavir without low-dose ritonavir may cause a significant alteration in the plasma concentration of nelfinavir. Co-administration of INTELENCE and nelfinavir without low-dose ritonavir is not recommended. ritonavir ↓ etravirine Concomitant use of INTELENCE with ritonavir 600 mg twice daily may cause a significant decrease in the plasma concentration of etravirine and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Co-administration of INTELENCE and ritonavir 600 mg twice daily is not recommended. saquinavir/ritonavir ↓ etravirine The mean systemic exposure (AUC) of etravirine was reduced when INTELENCE was co-administered with saquinavir/ritonavir. Because the reduction in the mean systemic exposures of etravirine in the presence of saquinavir/ritonavir is similar to the reduction in mean systemic exposures of etravirine in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir, INTELENCE and saquinavir/ritonavir can be co-administered without dose adjustments. tipranavir/ritonavir ↓ etravirine Concomitant use of INTELENCE with tipranavir/ritonavir may cause a significant decrease in the plasma concentrations of etravirine and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Co-administration of INTELENCE and tipranavir/ritonavir is not recommended. CCR5 antagonists maraviroc ↔ etravirine ↓ maraviroc When INTELENCE is co-administered with maraviroc in the absence of a potent CYP3A inhibitor (e.g., ritonavir boosted protease inhibitor), the recommended dose of maraviroc is 600 mg twice daily. No dose adjustment of INTELENCE is needed. maraviroc/darunavir/ritonavir The reference for etravirine exposure is the pharmacokinetic parameters of etravirine in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir. ↔ etravirine ↑ maraviroc When INTELENCE is co-administered with maraviroc in the presence of a potent CYP3A inhibitor (e.g., ritonavir boosted protease inhibitor), the recommended dose of maraviroc is 150 mg twice daily. No dose adjustment of INTELENCE is needed. Other agents Antiarrhythmics : digoxin ↔ etravirine ↑ digoxin For patients who are initiating a combination of INTELENCE and digoxin, the lowest dose of digoxin should initially be prescribed. For patients on a stable digoxin regimen and initiating INTELENCE, no dose adjustment of either INTELENCE or digoxin is needed. The serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored and used for titration of the digoxin dose to obtain the desired clinical effect. amiodarone bepridil disopyramide flecainide lidocaine (systemic) mexiletine propafenone quinidine ↓ antiarrhythmics Concentrations of these antiarrhythmics may be decreased when co-administered with INTELENCE. INTELENCE and antiarrhythmics should be co-administered with caution. Drug concentration monitoring is recommended, if available. Anticoagulant : warfarin ↑ anticoagulants Warfarin concentrations may be increased when co-administered with INTELENCE. The international normalized ratio (INR) should be monitored when warfarin is combined with INTELENCE. Anticonvulsants : carbamazepine phenobarbital phenytoin ↓ etravirine Carbamazepine, phenobarbital and phenytoin are inducers of CYP450 enzymes. INTELENCE should not be used in combination with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin as co-administration may cause significant decreases in etravirine plasma concentrations and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Antifungals : fluconazole ↑ etravirine ↔ fluconazole Co-administration of etravirine and fluconazole significantly increased etravirine exposures. The amount of safety data at these increased etravirine exposures is limited, therefore, etravirine and fluconazole should be co-administered with caution. No dose adjustment of INTELENCE or fluconazole is needed. voriconazole ↑ voriconazole Co-administration of etravirine and voriconazole significantly increased etravirine exposures. The amount of safety data at these increased etravirine exposures is limited, therefore, etravirine and voriconazole should be co-administered with caution. No dose adjustment of INTELENCE or voriconazole is needed. Antifungals : itraconazole ketoconazole posaconazole ↑ etravirine ↓ itraconazole ↓ ketoconazole ↔ posaconazole Posaconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, may increase plasma concentrations of etravirine. Itraconazole and ketoconazole are potent inhibitors as well as substrates of CYP3A4. Concomitant systemic use of itraconazole or ketoconazole and INTELENCE may increase plasma concentrations of etravirine. Simultaneously, plasma concentrations of itraconazole or ketoconazole may be decreased by INTELENCE. Dose adjustments for itraconazole, ketoconazole or posaconazole may be necessary depending on the other co-administered drugs. Antiinfective : clarithromycin ↑ etravirine ↓ clarithromycin ↑ 14-OH-clarithromycin Clarithromycin exposure was decreased by INTELENCE; however, concentrations of the active metabolite, 14-hydroxy-clarithromycin, were increased. Because 14-hydroxy-clarithromycin has reduced activity against Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), overall activity against this pathogen may be altered. Alternatives to clarithromycin, such as azithromycin, should be considered for the treatment of MAC. Antimalarial : artemether/lumefantrine ↔ etravirine ↓ artemether ↓ dihydroartemisinin ↓ lumefantrine Caution is warranted when co-administering INTELENCE and artemether/lumefantrine as it is unknown whether the decrease in exposure of artemether or its active metabolite, dihydroartemisinin, could result in decreased antimalarial efficacy. No dose adjustment is needed for INTELENCE. Antimycobacterials: rifampin rifapentine ↓ etravirine Rifampin and rifapentine are potent inducers of CYP450 enzymes. INTELENCE should not be used with rifampin or rifapentine as co-administration may cause significant decreases in etravirine plasma concentrations and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Antimycobacterial: rifabutin ↓ etravirine ↓ rifabutin ↓ 25- O -desacetylrifabutin If INTELENCE is NOT co-administered with a protease inhibitor/ritonavir, then rifabutin at a dose of 300 mg once daily is recommended. If INTELENCE is co-administered with darunavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir or saquinavir/ritonavir, then rifabutin should not be co-administered due to the potential for significant reductions in etravirine exposure. Benzodiazepine: diazepam ↑ diazepam Concomitant use of INTELENCE with diazepam may increase plasma concentrations of diazepam. A decrease in diazepam dose may be needed. Corticosteroid : dexamethasone (systemic) ↓ etravirine Systemic dexamethasone induces CYP3A and can decrease etravirine plasma concentrations. This may result in loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. Systemic dexamethasone should be used with caution or alternatives should be considered, particularly for long-term use. Herbal products : St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) ↓ etravirine Concomitant use of INTELENCE with products containing St. John's wort may cause significant decreases in etravirine plasma concentrations and loss of therapeutic effect of INTELENCE. INTELENCE and products containing St. John's wort should not be co-administered. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) direct-acting antivirals : daclatasvir ↓ daclatasvir Co-administration of INTELENCE with daclatasvir may decrease daclatasvir concentrations. Increase the daclatasvir dose to 90 mg once daily. elbasvir/grazoprevir ↓ elbasvir ↓ grazoprevir Co-administration of INTELENCE with elbasvir/grazoprevir may decrease elbasvir and grazoprevir concentrations, leading to reduced therapeutic effect of elbasvir/grazoprevir. Co-administration is not recommended. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors : atorvastatin ↔ etravirine ↓ atorvastatin ↑ 2-OH-atorvastatin The combination of INTELENCE and atorvastatin can be given without dose adjustments, however, the dose of atorvastatin may need to be altered based on clinical response. pravastatin rosuvastatin ↔ etravirine ↔ pravastatin ↔ rosuvastatin No interaction between pravastatin, rosuvastatin and INTELENCE is expected. lovastatin simvastatin ↓ lovastatin ↓ simvastatin Lovastatin and simvastatin are CYP3A substrates and co-administration with INTELENCE may result in lower plasma concentrations of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. fluvastatin pitavastatin ↑ fluvastatin ↑ pitavastatin Fluvastatin and pitavastatin are metabolized by CYP2C9 and co-administration with INTELENCE may result in higher plasma concentrations of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. Dose adjustments for these HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors may be necessary. Immunosuppressants : cyclosporine sirolimus tacrolimus ↓ immunosuppressant INTELENCE and systemic immunosuppressants should be co-administered with caution because plasma concentrations of cyclosporine, sirolimus, or tacrolimus may be affected. Narcotic analgesics/treatment of opioid dependence: buprenorphine buprenorphine/naloxone methadone ↔ etravirine ↓ buprenorphine ↔ norbuprenorphine ↔ methadone INTELENCE and buprenorphine (or buprenorphine/naloxone) can be co-administered without dose adjustments, however, clinical monitoring for withdrawal symptoms is recommended as buprenorphine (or buprenorphine/naloxone) maintenance therapy may need to be adjusted in some patients. INTELENCE and methadone can be co-administered without dose adjustments, however, clinical monitoring for withdrawal symptoms is recommended as methadone maintenance therapy may need to be adjusted in some patients. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors : sildenafil tadalafil vardenafil ↓ sildenafil ↓ N-desmethyl-sildenafil INTELENCE and sildenafil can be co-administered without dose adjustments, however, the dose of sildenafil may need to be altered based on clinical effect. Platelet aggregation inhibitors: clopidogrel ↓ clopidogrel (active) metabolite Activation of clopidogrel to its active metabolite may be decreased when clopidogrel is co-administered with INTELENCE. Alternatives to clopidogrel should be considered. 7.4 Drugs Without Clinically Significant Interactions with INTELENCE In addition to the drugs included in Table 4, the interaction between INTELENCE and the following drugs were evaluated in clinical studies and no dose adjustment is needed for either drug [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] : didanosine, enfuvirtide (ENF), ethinylestradiol/norethindrone, omeprazole, paroxetine, raltegravir, ranitidine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
