• Prior to or when initiating DOVATO, test patients for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. ( 2.1 ) • One tablet taken orally once daily with or without food. ( 2.2 ) • The dolutegravir dose (50 mg) in DOVATO is insufficient when coadministered with carbamazepine or rifampin. If DOVATO is coadministered with carbamazepine or rifampin, take one tablet of DOVATO once daily, followed by an additional dolutegravir 50-mg tablet, approximately 12 hours from the dose of DOVATO. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Testing Prior to or When Initiating Treatment with DOVATO Prior to or when initiating DOVATO, test patients for HBV infection [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage DOVATO is a fixed-dose combination product containing 50 mg of dolutegravir and 300 mg of lamivudine. The recommended dosage regimen of DOVATO in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 25 kg is one tablet taken orally once daily with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 2.3 Recommended Dosage with Certain Coadministered Drugs The dolutegravir dose (50 mg) in DOVATO is insufficient when coadministered with drugs listed in Table 1 that may decrease dolutegravir concentrations; the following dolutegravir dosage regimen is recommended. Table 1. Dosing Recommendations for DOVATO with Coadministered Drugs Coadministered Drug Dosing Recommendation Carbamazepine, rifampin An additional dolutegravir 50-mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from DOVATO, should be taken. 2.4 Not Recommended in Patients with Renal Impairment Because DOVATO is a fixed-dose tablet and cannot be dose adjusted, DOVATO is not recommended in patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] . 2.5 Not Recommended in Patients with Severe Hepatic Impairment DOVATO is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Score C) [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] .

DOVATO is contraindicated in patients: • with prior hypersensitivity reaction to dolutegravir or lamivudine [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . • receiving dofetilide due to the potential for increased dofetilide plasma concentrations and the risk for serious and/or life-threatening events [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] . • Prior hypersensitivity reaction to dolutegravir or lamivudine. ( 4 ) • Coadministration with dofetilide. ( 4 )

The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: • Patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • 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 )] The most common adverse reactions (all grades) observed in ≥2% (in those receiving DOVATO) were headache, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, fatigue, and anxiety.

Clinical Trials in Adults with No Antiretroviral Treatment History The safety assessment of DOVATO in HIV-1–infected adults with no antiretroviral treatment history and with a plasma viral load ≤500,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL at the screening visit, is based on the pooled Week 144 analyses of data from 2 identical, multicenter, double-blind, controlled trials, GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2. A total of 1,433 HIV-1–infected adults with no antiretroviral treatment history received either dolutegravir (TIVICAY) 50 mg plus lamivudine (EPIVIR) 300 mg, as a complete regimen once daily, or TIVICAY 50 mg plus fixed-dose combination tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC) (TRUVADA), administered once daily. The rates of adverse events leading to discontinuation in the pooled analysis were 4% of subjects who received TIVICAY plus EPIVIR and 5% in subjects who received TIVICAY plus TRUVADA. The most common adverse events leading to discontinuation were psychiatric disorders: 2% of subjects who received TIVICAY plus EPIVIR and 1% in subjects who received TIVICAY plus TRUVADA. Adverse reactions (all grades) observed in at least 2% of subjects in either treatment arm of the Week 144 pooled analysis from GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 trials are provided in Table 2 . The adverse reactions observed for TIVICAY plus EPIVIR in the Week 144 analysis of the pooled data from GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 were generally consistent with the adverse reaction profiles and severities for the individual components when administered with other antiretroviral agents. Table 2. Adverse Reactions (All Grades) Reported in ≥2% of Subjects in Any Treatment Group in Adults with No Antiretroviral Treatment History in GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 (Week 144 Pooled Analysis) a Fatigue: includes fatigue, asthenia, and malaise. Adverse Reaction TIVICAY plus EPIVIR (n = 716) TIVICAY plus TRUVADA (n = 717) Headache 3% 4% Nausea 2% 6% Diarrhea 2% 3% Insomnia 2% 3% Fatigue a 2% 2% Anxiety 2% 1% Dizziness 1% 2% Adverse reactions of at least Grade 2 occurring in ≥1% of subjects treated with TIVICAY plus EPIVIR were headache, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and insomnia (all at 1%). Less Common Adverse Reactions: The following adverse reactions (all grades) occurred in <2% of subjects receiving dolutegravir plus lamivudine or are from studies described in the prescribing information of the individual components, TIVICAY (dolutegravir) and EPIVIR (lamivudine). Some events have been included because of their seriousness and assessment of potential causal relationship. Blood and Lymphatic Systems Disorders: Anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia. Gastrointestinal Disorders: Abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, flatulence, upper abdominal pain, vomiting. General: Fever. Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hepatitis. Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity, immune reconstitution syndrome. Musculoskeletal Disorders: Myositis. Nervous System Disorders: Somnolence. Psychiatric Disorders: Abnormal dreams, depression. Suicidal ideation, attempt, behavior, or completion; these events were observed primarily in subjects with a pre-existing history of depression or other psychiatric illness. Renal and Urinary Disorders: Renal impairment. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Pruritus, rash. Clinical Trials in Virologically Suppressed Adults The safety of DOVATO in virologically suppressed adults was based on Week 144 data from 740 subjects in a randomized, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter, non-inferiority controlled trial (TANGO). Subjects who were on a stable suppressive tenofovir alafenamide-based regimen (TBR) were randomized to receive DOVATO once daily or continue with their TBR for up to 148 weeks; at Week 148, the subjects randomized to continue with their TBR were switched to DOVATO once daily. All subjects are followed up to Week 200. Overall, the safety profile of DOVATO in virologically suppressed adult subjects in the TANGO trial was similar to that of TIVICAY plus EPIVIR in subjects with no antiretroviral treatment history in the GEMINI trials [see Clinical Studies ( 14.3 )]. Adverse reactions observed in at least 2% of subjects in the TANGO trial who were treated with DOVATO were weight increased (3%) and insomnia (2%). Laboratory Abnormalities Selected laboratory abnormalities with a worsening grade from baseline and representing the worst-grade toxicity are presented in Table 3 . The mean change from baseline observed for selected lipid values is presented in Table 4 . Table 3.

Mean Change from Baseline in Fasted Lipid Values (Week 144 Pooled Analyses a ) in GEMINI 1 and GEMINI 2 Trials HDL = High density lipoprotein; LDL = Low density lipoprotein. a Subjects on lipid-lowering agents at baseline are excluded (TIVICAY plus EPIVIR, n = 30; TIVICAY plus TRUVADA, n = 23). The last available fasted, on-treatment lipid value prior to initiation of a lipid-lowering agent was carried forward in place of observed values after initiation of a lipid-lowering agent. A total of 51 and 28 subjects receiving TIVICAY plus EPIVIR and TIVICAY plus TRUVADA, respectively, initiated lipid-lowering agents post-baseline. Laboratory Parameter Preferred Term TIVICAY plus EPIVIR (n = 716) TIVICAY plus TRUVADA (n = 717) Cholesterol (mg/dL) 15 -2 HDL cholesterol (mg/dL) 7 4 LDL cholesterol (mg/dL) 7 -4 Triglycerides (mg/dL) 10 -9 Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio -0.2 -0.4 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 in both arms and remained stable through 144 weeks. A mean change from baseline of 0.144 mg/dL and 0.176 mg/dL was observed after 144 weeks of treatment with TIVICAY plus EPIVIR and TIVICAY plus TRUVADA, respectively. These changes are not considered to be clinically relevant. Clinical Trial Experience in Adolescents The safety of DOVATO was evaluated in HIV‑1–infected treatment-naïve subjects between 12 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 25 kg (N = 32) through Week 48, in an open label clinical trial, DANCE (Trial 205861). Overall, the observed safety profile in adolescent subjects was similar to those seen in adults [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )] . 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing experience in patients receiving a dolutegravir- or lamivudine-containing regimen. Because postmarketing 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. Body as a Whole Redistribution/accumulation of body fat. Endocrine and Metabolic Hyperglycemia. General Weakness. Hemic and Lymphatic Anemia (including pure red cell aplasia, sideroblastic anemia, and severe anemias progressing on therapy). Hepatic and Pancreatic Lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis, pancreatitis, posttreatment exacerbations of HBV [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.4 )] . Hepatobiliary Disorders Acute liver failure, hepatotoxicity. Hypersensitivity Anaphylaxis, urticaria. Investigations Weight increased. Musculoskeletal Arthralgia, creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation, muscle weakness, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis. Nervous System Paresthesia, peripheral neuropathy. Skin Alopecia.

• DOVATO is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended. ( 7.1 ) • Refer to the full prescribing information for important drug interactions with DOVATO. ( 4 , 5.5 , 7 ) 7.1 Coadministration with Other Antiretroviral Drugs DOVATO is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended [see Indications and Usage ( 1 )] . Information regarding potential drug-drug interactions with other antiretroviral drugs is not provided [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 7.2 Potential for DOVATO to Affect Other Drugs Dolutegravir, a component of DOVATO, inhibits the renal organic cation transporters (OCT)2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter (MATE)1; thus, it may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1 such as dofetilide, dalfampridine, and metformin [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 7.3 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect the Components of DOVATO Dolutegravir is metabolized by uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT)1A1 with some contribution from cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A. Dolutegravir is also a substrate of UGT1A3, UGT1A9, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in vitro. Drugs that induce those enzymes and transporters may decrease dolutegravir plasma concentrations and reduce the therapeutic effect of DOVATO [see Drug Interactions ( 7.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Coadministration of DOVATO and other drugs that inhibit these enzymes may increase dolutegravir plasma concentrations. Coadministration of dolutegravir with polyvalent cation-containing products may lead to decreased absorption of dolutegravir [see Drug Interactions ( 7.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.4 Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions No drug interaction studies were conducted with DOVATO. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with dolutegravir or lamivudine when administered alone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Information regarding potential drug interactions with DOVATO are provided in Table 5 . 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 )].
