Indications & Usage

TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and in pediatric patients aged at least 3 months and weighing at least 6 kg. Limitations of Use: TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD alone are not recommended in patients with resistance‑associated integrase substitutions or clinically suspected integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) resistance because the dose of dolutegravir in TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD is insufficient in these subpopulations. See full prescribing information for TIVICAY (dolutegravir). TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are a combination of dolutegravir (integrase strand transfer inhibitor [INSTI]), abacavir, and lamivudine (both nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors) indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and in pediatric patients aged at least 3 months and weighing at least 6 kg. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD alone are not recommended in patients with resistance-associated integrase substitutions or clinically suspected INSTI resistance because the dose of dolutegravir in TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD is insufficient in these subpopulations. See the dolutegravir prescribing information. ( 1 )

Dosage & Administration

• Before initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, screen for the HLA‑B*5701 allele because TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD contain abacavir. ( 2.1 ). • Prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, test patients for HBV infection. ( 2.2 ) • TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD may be taken with or without food. ( 2.4 , 2.5 ) • Adults: One tablet of TRIUMEQ daily. ( 2.4 ) ABC = abacavir, DTG = dolutegravir, 3TC = lamivudine.

Instruct patients (or instruct caregivers) to fully disperse the tablets for oral suspension in 20 mL of drinking water (if using 4, 5, or 6 tablets for oral suspension) or 15 mL (if using 3 tablets for oral suspension) in the supplied cup; swirl the suspension so that no lumps remain. After full dispersion, administer the oral suspension within 30 minutes of mixing [see Instructions for Use] . Do not swallow the tablets for oral suspension whole, and do not chew, cut, or crush the tablets. For children unable to use the supplied cup, an appropriate-sized syringe may be used to administer the oral suspension. Administer TRIUMEQ tablet with or without food. Do not chew, cut, or crush the tablet. 2.6 Dosage Recommendation with Certain Concomitant Medications The dolutegravir dose in TRIUMEQ (50 mg) and TRIUMEQ PD (5 mg) is insufficient when coadministered with medications listed in Table 2 that may decrease dolutegravir concentrations; the following dolutegravir dosage regimen is recommended. Table 2. Dosing Recommendations for TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD with Coadministered Medications Coadministered Drug Dosing Recommendation Efavirenz, fosamprenavir/ritonavir, tipranavir/ritonavir, carbamazepine, or rifampin In adults and in pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg , the recommended dolutegravir dosage regimen is 50 mg twice daily. Thus, an additional TIVICAY 50-mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ, should be taken. In pediatric patients weighing 6 kg to <25 kg , an additional weight-based dose of dolutegravir should be given separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ PD. • 6 to <10 kg: administer an additional 15-mg dose of dolutegravir (3 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 10 to <14 kg: administer an additional 20-mg dose of dolutegravir (4 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 14 to <20 kg: administer an additional 25-mg dose of dolutegravir (5 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 20 to <25 kg: administer an additional 30-mg dose of dolutegravir (6 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. 2.7 Not Recommended Due to Lack of Dosage Adjustment Because TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are fixed-dose tablets and cannot be dose adjusted, TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are not recommended in: • patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL/min and pediatric patients with a similar degree of renal impairment based on age-appropriate renal function assessment. There are no data available on the use of lamivudine, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD, in pediatric patients with renal impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 , 8.6 )] . • patients with mild hepatic impairment. TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] .

Warnings & Precautions
• Hepatotoxicity has been reported in patients receiving a dolutegravir-containing regimen. Monitoring for hepatotoxicity is recommended. ( 5.3 ) • Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogues. ( 5.4 ) • Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy. ( 5.6 ) • TRIUMEQ tablets and TRIUMEQ PD tablets for oral suspension are not substitutable. ( 2.3 , 5.7 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with the use of abacavir or dolutegravir, components of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD. Abacavir Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions have occurred with abacavir-containing regimens. See full prescribing information for ZIAGEN (abacavir). Abacavir hypersensitivity reactions have included multi-organ failure and anaphylaxis and typically occurred within the first 6 weeks of treatment with abacavir (median time to onset was 9 days); although abacavir hypersensitivity reactions have occurred any time during treatment [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Patients who carry the HLA‑B*5701 allele are at a higher risk of abacavir hypersensitivity reactions; although, patients who do not carry the HLA‑B*5701 allele have developed hypersensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity to abacavir was reported in approximately 206 (8%) of 2,670 patients in 9 clinical trials with abacavir-containing products where HLA‑B*5701 screening was not performed. The incidence of suspected abacavir hypersensitivity reactions in clinical trials was 1% when subjects carrying the HLA-B*5701 allele were excluded. In any patient treated with abacavir, the clinical diagnosis of hypersensitivity reaction must remain the basis of clinical decision making. Due to the potential for severe, serious, and possibly fatal hypersensitivity reactions with abacavir: • All patients should be screened for the HLA‑B*5701 allele prior to initiating therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or reinitiation of therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, unless patients have a previously documented HLA‑B*5701 allele assessment. • TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are contraindicated in patients with a prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and in HLA‑B*5701‑positive patients. • Before starting TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, review medical history for prior exposure to any abacavir-containing product. NEVER restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or any other abacavir-containing product following a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, regardless of HLA‑B*5701 status. • To reduce the risk of a life‑threatening hypersensitivity reaction, regardless of HLA‑B*5701 status, discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD immediately if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, even when other diagnoses are possible (e.g., acute onset respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, bronchitis, pharyngitis, or influenza; gastroenteritis; or reactions to other medications). Clinical status, including liver chemistries, should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. • If a hypersensitivity reaction cannot be ruled out, do not restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or any other abacavir-containing products because more severe symptoms, which may include life-threatening hypotension and death, can occur within hours. • Clinically, it is not possible to determine whether a hypersensitivity reaction with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD would be caused by abacavir or dolutegravir. Therefore, never restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or any other abacavir- or dolutegravir-containing product in patients who have stopped therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD due to a hypersensitivity reaction. • If a hypersensitivity reaction is ruled out, patients may restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. Rarely, patients who have stopped abacavir for reasons other than symptoms of hypersensitivity have also experienced life-threatening reactions within hours of reinitiating abacavir therapy. Therefore, reintroduction of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, or any other abacavir-containing product, is recommended only if medical care can be readily accessed. • A Medication Guide and Warning Card that provide information about recognition of abacavir hypersensitivity reactions should be dispensed with each new prescription and refill. Dolutegravir Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported and were characterized by rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including liver injury. The events were reported in <1% of subjects receiving TIVICAY in Phase 3 clinical trials. Discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD and other suspect agents immediately if signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions develop (including, but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters or peeling of the skin, oral blisters or lesions, conjunctivitis, facial edema, hepatitis, eosinophilia, angioedema, difficulty breathing). Clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. Delay in stopping treatment with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or other suspect agents after the onset of hypersensitivity may result in a life-threatening reaction. Clinically, it is not possible to determine whether a hypersensitivity reaction with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD would be caused by abacavir or dolutegravir. Therefore, never restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or any other abacavir- or dolutegravir-containing product in patients who have stopped therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD due to a hypersensitivity reaction. 5.2 Patients Co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV: Emergence of Lamivudine-Resistant HBV and the Risk of Posttreatment Exacerbations of HBV All patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of HBV prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. Emergence of Lamivudine Resistant HBV Safety and efficacy of lamivudine have not been established for treatment of chronic HBV in subjects dually infected with HIV-1 and HBV. Emergence of HBV variants associated with resistance to lamivudine has been reported in HIV‑1−infected subjects who have received lamivudine‑containing antiretroviral regimens in the presence of concurrent infection with HBV. If a decision is made to administer TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD to patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, additional treatment should be considered for appropriate treatment of chronic HBV; otherwise, consider an alternative regimen. Severe Acute Exacerbations of HBV in Patients Co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV Severe acute exacerbations of HBV have been reported in patients who are co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV and have discontinued products containing lamivudine, and may occur with discontinuation of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. Patients who are co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV who discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. If appropriate, initiation of anti-HBV therapy may be warranted, especially in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis since posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure. 5.3 Hepatotoxicity Hepatic adverse events have been reported in patients receiving a dolutegravir-containing regimen [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.2 )] . Patients with underlying hepatitis B or C may be at increased risk for worsening or development of transaminase elevations with use of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . In some cases, the elevations in transaminases were consistent with immune reconstitution syndrome or hepatitis B reactivation particularly in the setting where anti-hepatitis therapy was withdrawn. Cases of hepatic toxicity, including elevated serum liver biochemistries, hepatitis, and acute liver failure, have also been reported in patients, including pediatric patients receiving a dolutegravir-containing regimen who had no pre-existing hepatic disease or other identifiable risk factors. Drug-induced liver injury leading to liver transplant has been reported with TRIUMEQ. Monitoring for hepatotoxicity is recommended. 5.4 Lactic Acidosis and Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogues, including abacavir and lamivudine (components of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD). A majority of these cases have been in women. Female sex and obesity may be risk factors for the development of lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis in patients treated with antiretroviral nucleoside analogues. See full prescribing information for ZIAGEN (abacavir) and EPIVIR (lamivudine). Treatment with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD should be suspended in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity, which may include hepatomegaly and steatosis even in the absence of marked transaminase elevations. 5.5 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD and other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.3 )] : • Loss of therapeutic effect of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD and possible development of resistance. • Possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of concomitant drugs. See Table 6 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 therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, review concomitant medications during therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the concomitant drugs. 5.6 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune systems respond may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP], or tuberculosis), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, 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. 5.7 Different Formulations Are Not Substitutable TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are not bioequivalent and are not substitutable on a milligram-per-milligram basis [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . If a pediatric patient switches from the tablets for oral suspension to the tablets, the dosage must be adjusted [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 , 2.5 )] . Incorrect dosing of a given formulation may result in underdosing and loss of therapeutic effect and possible development of resistance or possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposure to the individual components. 5.8 Myocardial Infarction Several prospective, observational, epidemiological studies have reported an association with the use of abacavir and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Meta-analyses of randomized, controlled clinical trials have observed no excess risk of MI in abacavir‑treated subjects as compared with control subjects. To date, there is no established biological mechanism to explain a potential increase in risk. In totality, the available data from the observational studies and from controlled clinical trials show inconsistency; therefore, evidence for a causal relationship between abacavir and the risk of MI is inconclusive. As a precaution, the underlying risk of coronary heart disease should be considered when prescribing antiretroviral therapies, including abacavir, and action taken to minimize all modifiable risk factors (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking).
Boxed Warning
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, AND EXACERBATIONS OF HEPATITIS B Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions, with multiple organ involvement, have occurred with abacavir, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD (abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine). Patients who carry the HLA ‑ B*5701 allele are at a higher risk of a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, although hypersensitivity reactions have occurred in patients who do not carry the HLA ‑ B*5701 allele [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are contraindicated in patients with a prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and in HLA ‑ B*5701-positive patients [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . All patients should be screened for the HLA ‑ B*5701 allele prior to initiating therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or reinitiation of therapy with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, unless patients have a previously documented HLA ‑ B*5701 allele assessment. Discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD immediately if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, regardless of HLA ‑ B*5701 status and even when other diagnoses are possible [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Following a hypersensitivity reaction to TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, NEVER restart TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD or any other abacavir ‑ containing product because more severe symptoms, including death can occur within hours. Similar severe reactions have also occurred rarely following the reintroduction of abacavir-containing products in patients who have no history of abacavir hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Exacerbations of Hepatitis B All patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. Emergence of lamivudine-resistant HBV variants associated with lamivudine-containing antiretroviral regimens has been reported. If TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD is used in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, additional treatment should be considered for appropriate treatment of chronic HBV; otherwise, consider an alternative regimen. Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are co ‑ infected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued lamivudine, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD. Closely monitor hepatic function in these patients and, if appropriate, initiate anti-HBV treatment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, AND EXACERBATIONS OF HEPATITIS B See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Hypersensitivity Reactions • Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions have occurred with abacavir-containing products. ( 5.1 ) • Hypersensitivity to abacavir is a multi-organ clinical syndrome. ( 5.1 ) • Patients who carry the HLA ‑ B*5701 allele are at a higher risk of experiencing a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir. ( 5.1 ) • TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are contraindicated in patients with a prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and in HLA-B*5701-positive patients. ( 4 ) • Discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD as soon as a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected. Regardless of HLA-B*5701 status, permanently discontinue TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD if hypersensitivity cannot be ruled out, even when other diagnoses are possible. ( 5.1 ) • Following a hypersensitivity reaction to TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD, NEVER restart TRIUMEQ, TRIUMEQ PD, or any other abacavir ‑ containing product. ( 5.1 ) Exacerbations of Hepatitis B • All patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) prior to or when initiating TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. Emergence of lamivudine-resistant HBV variants associated with lamivudine-containing antiretroviral regimens has been reported. If TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD is used in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, additional treatment should be considered for appropriate treatment of chronic HBV; otherwise, consider an alternative regimen. • Severe acute exacerbations of HBV have been reported in patients who are co-infected with HBV and HIV ‑ 1 and have discontinued lamivudine, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD. Closely monitor hepatic function in these patients and, if appropriate, initiate anti-HBV treatment. ( 5.2 )
Contraindications

TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are contraindicated in patients: • who have the HLA-B*5701 allele [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . • with prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, dolutegravir [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] , or lamivudine. • receiving dofetilide due to the potential for increased dofetilide plasma concentrations and the risk for serious and/or life-threatening events with concomitant use of dolutegravir [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] . • with moderate or severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] . • Presence of HLA-B*5701 allele. ( 4 ) • Prior hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir, dolutegravir, or lamivudine. ( 4 ) • Coadministration with dofetilide. ( 4 ) • Moderate or severe hepatic impairment. ( 4 , 8.7 )

Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: • Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reaction [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . • Exacerbations of hepatitis B [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . • Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . • Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . • Immune reconstitution syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . • Myocardial infarction [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] .

( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact ViiV Healthcare at 1-877-844-8872 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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Clinical Trials in Adults Serious and Fatal Abacavir-Associated Hypersensitivity Reactions: In clinical trials, serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions have occurred with abacavir, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. These reactions have been characterized by 2 or more of the following signs or symptoms: (1) fever; (2) rash; (3) gastrointestinal symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain); (4) constitutional symptoms (including generalized malaise, fatigue, or achiness); (5) respiratory symptoms (including dyspnea, cough, or pharyngitis). Almost all abacavir hypersensitivity reactions include fever and/or rash as part of the syndrome. Other signs and symptoms have included lethargy, headache, myalgia, edema, arthralgia, and paresthesia. Anaphylaxis, liver failure, renal failure, hypotension, adult respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, myolysis, and death have occurred in association with these hypersensitivity reactions. Physical findings have included lymphadenopathy, mucous membrane lesions (conjunctivitis and mouth ulcerations), and maculopapular or urticarial rash (although some patients had other types of rashes and others did not have a rash). There were reports of erythema multiforme. Laboratory abnormalities included elevated liver chemistries, elevated creatine phosphokinase, elevated creatinine, and lymphopenia and abnormal chest x‑ray findings (predominantly infiltrates, which were localized). Serious Dolutegravir Hypersensitivity Reactions: In clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions have occurred with dolutegravir, a component of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. These hypersensitivity reactions have been characterized by rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including liver injury. Additional Treatment-Emergent Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) with Use of TRIUMEQ: The safety assessment of TRIUMEQ is primarily based on the analyses of data from a randomized, international, multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled trial, SINGLE (ING114467) and supported by data in treatment-experienced, INSTI-naive subjects from SAILING (ING111762) and by data from other treatment-naive trials. See full prescribing information for TIVICAY. Treatment-Naive Subjects: In SINGLE, 833 adult subjects were randomized and received at least one dose of either dolutegravir (TIVICAY) 50 mg with fixed-dose abacavir and lamivudine (EPZICOM) once daily (n = 414) or fixed-dose efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir (ATRIPLA) once daily (n = 419) (study treatment was blinded through Week 96 and open-label from Week 96 through Week 144). Through 144 weeks, the rate of adverse events leading to discontinuation was 4% in subjects receiving TIVICAY + EPZICOM and 14% in subjects receiving ATRIPLA once daily. Treatment‑emergent ADRs of moderate to severe intensity observed in at least 2% of subjects in either treatment arm of SINGLE are provided in Table 3 . Table 3. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Drug Reactions of at Least Moderate Intensity (Grades 2 to 4) and at Least 2% Frequency in Treatment-Naive Subjects in SINGLE (Week 144 Analysis) a Includes pooled terms: rash, rash generalized, rash macular, rash maculo-papular, rash pruritic, and drug eruption.

Subjects were randomized and received either TIVICAY 50 mg once daily or raltegravir 400 mg twice daily with investigator-selected background regimen consisting of up to 2 agents, including at least one fully active agent. At 48 weeks, the rate of adverse events leading to discontinuation was consistent with that seen in the overall treatment-naive patient population. See full prescribing information for TIVICAY. The ADRs observed in the subset of subjects who received TIVICAY + EPZICOM were generally consistent with those seen in the overall treatment-naive patient population. Less Common Adverse Reactions Observed in Clinical Trials: The following adverse reactions occurred in <2% of treatment-naive or treatment-experienced subjects in any one trial. These events have been included because of their seriousness and/or assessment of potential causal relationship. Gastrointestinal Disorders: Abdominal pain, abdominal distention, abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia, flatulence, gastroesophageal reflux disease, upper abdominal pain, vomiting. General Disorders: Fever, lethargy. Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hepatitis. Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: Anorexia, hypertriglyceridemia. Musculoskeletal Disorders: Arthralgia, myositis. Nervous System Disorders: Somnolence. Psychiatric Disorders: Suicidal ideation, attempt, behavior, or completion. These events were observed primarily in subjects with a pre-existing history of depression or other psychiatric illness. Nightmare and sleep disorder. Renal and Urinary Disorders: Renal impairment. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Pruritus. Laboratory Abnormalities: Treatment-Naive Subjects: Selected laboratory abnormalities (Grades 2 to 4) with a worsening grade from baseline and representing the worst-grade toxicity in at least 2% of subjects in SINGLE are presented in Table 4 . The mean change from baseline observed for selected lipid values is presented in Table 5 . Table 4. Selected Laboratory Abnormalities (Grades 2 to 4) in Treatment-Naive Subjects in SINGLE (Week 144 Analysis) ALT = Alanine aminotransferase, AST = Aspartate aminotransferase, ULN = upper limit of normal.

Mean Change from Baseline in Fasted Lipid Values in Treatment-Naive Subjects in SINGLE (Week 144 Analysis a ) HDL = High-density lipoprotein, LDL = Low-density lipoprotein. a Subjects on lipid-lowering agents at baseline were excluded from these analyses (TIVICAY + EPZICOM: n = 30 and ATRIPLA: n = 27). Seventy-two subjects initiated a lipid-lowering agent post-baseline; their last fasted on-treatment values (prior to starting the agent) were used regardless of whether they discontinued the agent (TIVICAY + EPZICOM: n = 36 and ATRIPLA: n = 36). Lipid TIVICAY + EPZICOM Once Daily (n = 414) ATRIPLA Once Daily (n = 419) Cholesterol (mg/dL) 24.0 26.7 HDL cholesterol (mg/dL) 5.4 7.2 LDL cholesterol (mg/dL) 16.0 14.6 Triglycerides (mg/dL) 13.6 31.9 Treatment-Experienced Subjects: Laboratory abnormalities observed in SAILING were generally similar compared with observations seen in the treatment-naive trials. Hepatitis C Virus Co-infection: In SINGLE, the pivotal Phase 3 trial, subjects with hepatitis C virus co-infection were permitted to enroll provided that baseline liver chemistry tests did not exceed 5 times the upper limit of normal; subjects with hepatitis B co-infection were excluded. Overall, the safety profile in subjects with hepatitis C virus co-infection was similar to that observed in subjects without hepatitis C co-infection, although the rates of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) abnormalities were higher in the subgroup with hepatitis C virus co-infection for both treatment groups. Grades 2 to 4 ALT abnormalities in hepatitis C co-infected compared with HIV mono-infected subjects receiving TRIUMEQ were observed in 15% and 2% (vs. 24% and 4% of subjects treated with ATRIPLA) (Week 96 analysis), respectively [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . See also full prescribing information for TIVICAY. Changes in Serum Creatinine: Dolutegravir has been shown to increase serum creatinine due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting renal glomerular function [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Increases in serum creatinine occurred within the first 4 weeks of treatment and remained stable through 144 weeks. In SINGLE, a mean change from baseline of 0.14 mg/dL (range: -0.25 mg/dL to 0.81 mg/dL) was observed after 144 weeks of treatment. Creatinine increases were similar in treatment-experienced subjects. Abacavir and Lamivudine: Laboratory abnormalities observed in clinical trials of ZIAGEN (in combination with other antiretroviral treatment) were anemia, neutropenia, liver function test abnormalities, and elevations of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), blood glucose, and triglycerides. Additional laboratory abnormalities observed in clinical trials of EPIVIR (in combination with other antiretroviral treatment) were thrombocytopenia and elevated levels of bilirubin, amylase, and lipase. Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Subjects Abacavir, Dolutegravir and Lamivudine: The safety of TRIUMEQ PD and TRIUMEQ in pediatric subjects with HIV-1 infection weighing at least 6 kg was evaluated in the IMPAACT 2019 trial. This was a multicenter, open-label, non-comparative trial of pediatric subjects with HIV-1 infection, younger than 12 years of age. Fifty-seven subjects weighing at least 6 kg to less than 40 kg were enrolled in this trial [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Overall, the safety data in this pediatric study was similar to that seen in adults. The safety analysis through Week 48 included 57 subjects weighing at least 6 kg at enrollment who received the recommended dose (determined by weight) and formulation. This analysis showed that 26% of subjects experienced clinical adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions were classified as laboratory abnormalities and included decreased glomerular filtration rate (n = 13, 23%), increased blood creatinine (n = 10, 18%), and increased ALT (n = 3, 5%). All other adverse reactions occurred at a rate of <2% of participants. Two subjects reported Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions. One subject, an 8-year-old female who weighed 22 kg at baseline, experienced Grade 3 increased blood creatinine and Grade 3 decreased glomerular filtration rate. By Week 48, the glomerular filtration rate was improving, and the events did not lead to drug discontinuation. Another subject, a 7-year-old male who weighed 20 kg at baseline, experienced drug-induced liver injury with Grade 4 increased ALT and AST following 36 weeks of treatment with TRIUMEQ PD. Clinical signs or symptoms of hepatitis were not reported, and ALT and AST values normalized after TRIUMEQ PD was discontinued. Abacavir and Lamivudine: The safety of once-daily compared with twice-daily dosing of abacavir and lamivudine, administered as either single products or as EPZICOM, was assessed in the ARROW trial (n = 336). Primary safety assessment in the ARROW (COL105677) trial was based on Grade 3 and Grade 4 adverse events. One event of Grade 4 hepatitis in the once-daily cohort was considered as uncertain causality by the investigator and all other Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were considered not related by the investigator. No additional safety issues were identified in pediatric subjects compared with historical data in adults. Dolutegravir: The safety of dolutegravir in pediatric subjects with HIV-1 infection weighing at least 6 kg was evaluated in the IMPAACT P1093 trial [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Overall, the safety data in this pediatric study was similar to that seen in adults. IMPAACT P1093 is an ongoing multicenter, open-label, non-comparative trial of pediatric subjects with HIV-1 infection, aged <18 years. One hundred and forty-two subjects weighing at least 6 kg were enrolled in this trial [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . The safety analysis through Week 24 included 60 subjects weighing at least 6 kg at enrollment who received the recommended dose (determined by weight and age) and formulation. This analysis showed that 13% of subjects experienced adverse reactions. Grade 1 to 2 adverse reactions reported by more than one subject was immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (n = 2). There were no Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions reported. No adverse reactions led to discontinuation. The Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities reported in more than one subject weighing at least 6 kg at enrollment were decreased neutrophil count (n = 5), decreased blood bicarbonate (n = 3), increased lipase (n = 2), and increased blood potassium (n = 2). These laboratory events were not considered to be drug related. Changes in median serum creatinine were similar to those observed in adults. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing use with one or more of the components of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD. 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. Blood and Lymphatic Systems Aplastic anemia, anemia (including pure red cell aplasia, sideroblastic anemia and severe anemias progressing on therapy), lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly. Digestive Stomatitis. Gastrointestinal Pancreatitis. General Weakness. Hepatobiliary Disorders Acute liver failure, liver transplant [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Hypersensitivity Sensitization reactions (including anaphylaxis), urticaria [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Investigations Weight increased. Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders Hyperlactemia. Musculoskeletal CPK elevation, muscle weakness, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis. Nervous Paresthesia, peripheral neuropathy, seizures. Psychiatric Anxiety. Respiratory Abnormal breath sounds/wheezing. Skin Alopecia, erythema multiforme. Suspected Stevens‑Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have been reported in patients receiving abacavir primarily in combination with medications known to be associated with SJS and TEN, respectively. Because of the overlap of clinical signs and symptoms between hypersensitivity to abacavir and SJS and TEN, and the possibility of multiple drug sensitivities in some patients, abacavir should be discontinued and not restarted in such cases [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

Drug Interactions

Coadministration of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD with other drugs can alter the concentration of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD. The potential drug-drug interactions must be considered prior to and during therapy. ( 4 , 7 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effect of Dolutegravir on the Pharmacokinetics of Other Agents In vitro, dolutegravir inhibited the renal organic cation transporters (OCT)2 (IC 50 = 1.93 microM) and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter (MATE)1 (IC 50 = 6.34 microM). In vivo, dolutegravir inhibits tubular secretion of creatinine by inhibiting OCT2 and potentially MATE1. Dolutegravir may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1 (dofetilide, dalfampridine, and metformin) [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.3 )] . In vitro, dolutegravir inhibited the basolateral renal transporters, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 (IC 50 = 2.12 microM) and OAT3 (IC 50 = 1.97 microM). However, in vivo, dolutegravir did not alter the plasma concentrations of tenofovir or para-amino hippurate, substrates of OAT1 and OAT3. In vitro, dolutegravir did not inhibit (IC 50 >50 microM) the following: cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A, uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT)1A1, UGT2B7, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, or multidrug resistance protein (MRP)2, or MRP4. In vitro, dolutegravir did not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP3A4. Based on these data and the results of drug interaction trials, dolutegravir is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are substrates of these enzymes or transporters. In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs: tenofovir, methadone, midazolam, rilpivirine, and oral contraceptives containing norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs: atazanavir, darunavir, efavirenz, etravirine, fosamprenavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, and boceprevir. 7.2 Effect of Other Agents on the Pharmacokinetics of Dolutegravir Dolutegravir is metabolized by UGT1A1 with some contribution from CYP3A. Dolutegravir is also a substrate of UGT1A3, UGT1A9, BCRP, and P-gp in vitro. Drugs that induce those enzymes and transporters may decrease dolutegravir plasma concentrations and reduce the therapeutic effect of dolutegravir. Coadministration of dolutegravir and other drugs that inhibit these enzymes may increase dolutegravir plasma concentrations. Etravirine significantly reduced plasma concentrations of dolutegravir, but the effect of etravirine was mitigated by coadministration of lopinavir/ritonavir or darunavir/ritonavir and is expected to be mitigated by atazanavir/ritonavir ( Table 6 ) [see Drug Interactions ( 7.3 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In vitro, dolutegravir was not a substrate of OATP1B1 or OATP1B3. Darunavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, rilpivirine, tenofovir, boceprevir, prednisone, rifabutin, and omeprazole had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir. 7.3 Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions There were no drug-drug interaction trials conducted with the abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine fixed-dose combination tablets. Information regarding potential drug interactions with the individual components of TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD are provided below. These recommendations are based on either drug interaction trials or predicted interactions due to the expected magnitude of interaction and potential for serious adverse events or loss of efficacy. [See Contraindications ( 4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ).] Table 6. Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions for Dolutegravir: Alterations in Dose May Be Recommended Based on Drug Interaction Trials or Predicted Interactions a See Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) Table 8 or Table 10 for magnitude of interaction.

Other Agents Antiarrhythmic: Dofetilide ↑Dofetilide Coadministration is contraindicated with TRIUMEQ and TRIUMEQ PD [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Potassium channel blocker: Dalfampridine ↑Dalfampridine Elevated levels of dalfampridine increase the risk of seizures. The potential benefits of taking dalfampridine concurrently with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD should be considered against the risk of seizures in these patients. Carbamazepine a ↓Dolutegravir In adults and in pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg , adjust dolutegravir dose to 50 mg twice daily. An additional TIVICAY 50-mg dose should be taken, separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ. In pediatric patients weighing 6 to <25 kg , an additional weight-based dose of dolutegravir should be given separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ PD. • 6 to <10 kg: administer an additional 15-mg dose of dolutegravir (3 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 10 to <14 kg: administer an additional 20-mg dose of dolutegravir (4 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 14 to <20 kg: administer an additional 25-mg dose of dolutegravir (5 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 20 to <25 kg: administer an additional 30-mg dose of dolutegravir (6 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. Oxcarbazepine Phenytoin Phenobarbital St. John’s wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) ↓Dolutegravir Avoid coadministration with TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD because there are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations. Medications containing polyvalent cations (e.g., Mg or Al): Cation-containing antacids a or laxatives Sucralfate Buffered medications ↓Dolutegravir Administer TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations. Oral calcium and iron supplements, including multivitamins containing calcium or iron a ↓Dolutegravir When taken with food, TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium or iron can be taken at the same time. Under fasting conditions, TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD should be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking supplements containing calcium or iron. Metformin a ↑Metformin Refer to the prescribing information for metformin for assessing the benefit and risk of concomitant use of TRIUMEQ or TRIUMEQ PD and metformin. Rifampin a ↓Dolutegravir In adults and in pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg , adjust dolutegravir dose to 50 mg twice daily. An additional 50-mg dose of TIVICAY should be taken, separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ. In pediatric patients weighing 6 to <25 kg , an additional weight-based dose of dolutegravir should be given separated by 12 hours from TRIUMEQ PD. • 6 to <10 kg: administer an additional 15-mg dose of dolutegravir (3 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 10 to <14 kg: administer an additional 20-mg dose of dolutegravir (4 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 14 to <20 kg: administer an additional 25-mg dose of dolutegravir (5 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. • 20 to <25 kg: administer an additional 30-mg dose of dolutegravir (6 TIVICAY PD tablets for oral suspension), 12 hours after TRIUMEQ PD. Methadone Abacavir: In a trial of 11 HIV-1–infected subjects receiving methadone-maintenance therapy with 600 mg of abacavir twice daily (twice the currently recommended dose), oral methadone clearance increased [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . This alteration will not result in a methadone dose modification in the majority of patients; however, an increased methadone dose may be required in a small number of patients. Sorbitol Lamivudine: Coadministration of single doses of lamivudine and sorbitol resulted in a sorbitol dose-dependent reduction in lamivudine exposures. When possible, avoid use of sorbitol-containing medicines with lamivudine-containing medicines [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Riociguat Abacavir: Coadministration with TRIUMEQ resulted in increased riociguat exposure, which may increase the risk of riociguat adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The riociguat dose may need to be reduced. See full prescribing information for ADEMPAS (riociguat).
