Dosage & Administration
• Testing: Prior to or when initiating emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, test for hepatitis B virus infection. Prior to initiation and during treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus. ( 2.1 ) • Recommended dosage in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg: One tablet taken orally once daily with food. ( 2.2 ) • For pregnant patients who are already on emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets prior to pregnancy and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine were observed during pregnancy; therefore, viral load should be monitored closely. ( 2.3 ) • Renal impairment: Not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance below 50 mL per minute. ( 2.4 ) • Recommended dosage with rifabutin coadministration: an additional 25 mg tablet of rilpivirine (Edurant ® ) once per day taken concomitantly with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and with a meal for the duration of the rifabutin coadministration. ( 2.5 , 7.6 , 12.3 ) 2.1 Testing Prior to Initiation and During Treatment with Emtricitabine, Rilpivirine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets Prior to or when initiating emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, test patients for hepatitis B virus infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Prior to initiation of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, and during treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a three-drug fixed dose combination product containing 200 mg of emtricitabine (FTC), 25 mg of rilpivirine (RPV), and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). The recommended dosage of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg is one tablet taken orally once daily with food [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.3 Recommended Dosage During Pregnancy For pregnant patients who are already on emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets prior to pregnancy and are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL), one tablet of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate taken once daily may be continued. Lower exposures of rilpivirine, a component of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.4 Not Recommended in Patients with Moderate or Severe Renal Impairment Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are not recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance below 50 mL per minute) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . 2.5 Recommended Dosage with Rifabutin Coadministration If emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are coadministered with rifabutin, take an additional 25 mg tablet of rilpivirine (Edurant ® ) with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets once daily with a meal for the duration of the rifabutin coadministration [see Drug Interactions (7.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Warnings & Precautions
• Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during postmarketing experience, including cases of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS). Immediately discontinue treatment if hypersensitivity or rash with systemic symptoms or elevations in hepatic serum biochemistries develops and closely monitor clinical status, including hepatic serum biochemistries. ( 5.2 ) • Hepatotoxicity: Hepatic adverse events have been reported in patients receiving a rilpivirine-containing regimen. Monitor liver-associated tests before and during treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in patients with underlying hepatic disease or marked elevations in liver-associated tests. Also consider monitoring liver-associated tests in patients without risk factors. ( 5.3 ) • Depressive disorders: Severe depressive disorders have been reported. Immediate medical evaluation is recommended for severe depressive disorders. ( 5.4 ) • New onset or worsening renal impairment: Can include acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome. Avoid administering emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic drugs. ( 5.5 ) • Decreases in bone mineral density (BMD): Consider monitoring BMD in patients with a history of pathologic fracture or other risk factors of osteoporosis or bone loss. ( 5.6 ) • Concomitant use of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets with drugs with a known risk to prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram may increase the risk of Torsade de Pointes. ( 5.7 ) • Lactic acidosis/severe hepatomegaly with steatosis: Discontinue treatment in patients who develop symptoms or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity. ( 5.8 ) • Immune reconstitution syndrome: May necessitate further evaluation and treatment. ( 5.9 ) 5.1 Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients Coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV Test all patients with HIV-1 for the presence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) before or when initiating antiretroviral therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B (e.g., liver decompensation and liver failure) have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued products containing FTC and/or TDF, two of the components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Patients coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV who discontinue emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. If appropriate, initiation of anti-hepatitis B 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. 5.2 Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during the postmarketing experience, including cases of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) with RPV-containing regimens. While some skin reactions were accompanied by constitutional symptoms such as fever, other skin reactions were associated with organ dysfunctions, including elevations in hepatic serum biochemistries. During the Phase 3 clinical trials, treatment-related rashes with at least Grade 2 severity were reported in 1% of subjects receiving RPV plus FTC/TDF. Overall, most rashes were Grade 1 or 2 and occurred in the first four to six weeks of therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1 and 6.2) ] . Discontinue emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop, including but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, blisters, mucosal involvement, conjunctivitis, facial edema, angioedema, hepatitis, or eosinophilia. Clinical status including laboratory parameters should be monitored and appropriate therapy should be initiated. 5.3 Hepatotoxicity Hepatic adverse events have been reported in patients receiving an RPV-containing regimen. Patients with underlying hepatitis B or C virus infection, or marked elevations in liver-associated tests prior to treatment, may be at increased risk for worsening or development of liver-associated test elevations with use of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. A few cases of hepatic toxicity have been reported in adult patients receiving an RPV-containing regimen who had no pre-existing hepatic disease or other identifiable risk factors. Appropriate laboratory testing prior to initiating therapy and monitoring for hepatotoxicity during therapy with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets is recommended in patients with underlying hepatic disease such as hepatitis B or C, or in patients with marked elevations in liver-associated tests prior to treatment initiation. Liver-associated test monitoring should also be considered for patients without pre-existing hepatic dysfunction or other risk factors. 5.4 Depressive Disorders The adverse reaction depressive disorders (depressed mood, depression, dysphoria, major depression, mood altered, negative thoughts, suicide attempt, suicidal ideation) has been reported with RPV. Patients with severe depressive symptoms should seek immediate medical evaluation to assess the possibility that the symptoms are related to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, and if so, to determine whether the risks of continued therapy outweigh the benefits. During the Phase 3 trials in adults (N=1368) through 96 weeks, the incidence of depressive disorders (regardless of causality, severity) reported among RPV (n=686) or efavirenz (EFV, n=682) was 9% and 8%, respectively. Most events were mild or moderate in severity. The incidence of Grades 3 and 4 depressive disorders (regardless of causality) was 1% for both RPV and EFV. The incidence of discontinuation due to depressive disorders among RPV or EFV was 1% in each arm. Suicidal ideation was reported in 4 subjects in each arm while suicide attempt was reported in 2 subjects in the RPV arm. During the Phase 2 trial in pediatric subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age (N=36) receiving RPV through 48 weeks, the incidence of depressive disorders (regardless of causality, severity) was 19.4% (7/36). Most events were mild or moderate in severity. The incidence of Grade 3 and 4 depressive disorders (regardless of causality) was 5.6% (2/36). None of the subjects discontinued due to depressive disorders. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were reported in 1 subject. 5.5 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of TDF [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Prior to initiation of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, and during treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all patients. In patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus. Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets should be avoided with concurrent or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent (e.g., high-dose or multiple nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) [see Drug Interactions (7.4) ] . Cases of acute renal failure after initiation of high-dose or multiple NSAIDs have been reported in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal dysfunction who appeared stable on TDF. Some patients required hospitalization and renal replacement therapy. Alternatives to NSAIDs should be considered, if needed, in patients at risk for renal dysfunction. Persistent or worsening bone pain, pain in extremities, fractures, and/or muscular pain or weakness may be manifestations of proximal renal tubulopathy and should prompt an evaluation of renal function in at-risk patients. Emtricitabine and TDF are principally eliminated by the kidney; however, RPV is not. Since emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a combination product and the dose of the individual components cannot be altered, emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance below 50 mL per minute [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . 5.6 Bone Loss and Mineralization Defects Bone Mineral Density In clinical trials in HIV-1-infected adults, TDF, a component of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, was associated with slightly greater decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) and increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism, suggesting increased bone turnover relative to comparators. Serum parathyroid hormone levels and 1,25 Vitamin D levels were also higher in subjects receiving TDF. Clinical trials evaluating TDF in pediatric and adolescent subjects were conducted. Under normal circumstances, BMD increases rapidly in pediatric patients. In HIV-1-infected subjects aged 2 years to less than 18 years, bone effects were similar to those observed in adult subjects and suggest increased bone turnover. Total body BMD gain was less in the TDF-treated HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects as compared to the control groups. Similar trends were observed in chronic hepatitis B-infected adolescent subjects aged 12 years to less than 18 years. In all pediatric trials, skeletal growth (height) appeared to be unaffected. The effects of TDF-associated changes in BMD and biochemical markers on long-term bone health and future fracture risk are unknown. Assessment of BMD should be considered for adult and pediatric patients who have a history of pathologic bone fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. Although the effect of supplementation with calcium and Vitamin D was not studied, such supplementation may be beneficial for all patients. If bone abnormalities are suspected, then appropriate consultation should be obtained. Mineralization Defects Cases of osteomalacia associated with proximal renal tubulopathy, manifested as bone pain or pain in extremities and which may contribute to fractures, have been reported in association with the use of TDF [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Arthralgias and muscle pain or weakness have also been reported in cases of proximal renal tubulopathy. Hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia secondary to proximal renal tubulopathy should be considered in patients at risk of renal dysfunction who present with persistent or worsening bone or muscle symptoms while receiving products containing TDF [See Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . 5.7 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and other drugs may result in potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) , Contraindications (4) , and Drug Interactions (7) ] : • Loss of therapeutic effect of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and possible development of resistance due to reduced exposure to RPV. • Possible clinically significant adverse reaction from greater exposures of components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. In healthy subjects, 75 mg once daily and 300 mg once daily doses of RPV (3 times and 12 times the dose in emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets) have been shown to prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram. Consider alternatives to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets when coadministered with a drug that is known to have a risk of Torsade de Pointes [see Drug Interactions (7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . 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 emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet therapy and review concomitant medications during emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet therapy. 5.8 Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including TDF and FTC, components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Treatment with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets 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). 5.9 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including the components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. 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 jirovecii 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.

Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Subjects In HIV-1-Infected Adult Subjects With No Antiretroviral Treatment History Studies C209 and C215 The safety assessment of RPV, used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs, is based on the Week 96 pooled data from 1368 subjects in the Phase 3 trials TMC278-C209 (ECHO) and TMC278-C215 (THRIVE) in antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected adult subjects. A total of 686 subjects received RPV in combination with other antiretroviral drugs as background regimen; most (N=550) received FTC/TDF as background regimen. The number of subjects randomized to the control arm EFV was 682, of which 546 received FTC/TDF as background regimen [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The median duration of exposure for subjects in either treatment arm was 104 weeks. Adverse reactions observed at Week 96 in subjects who received RPV or EFV + FTC/TDF as background regimen are shown in Table 1. No new types of adverse reactions were identified between Week 48 and Week 96. The adverse reactions observed in this subset of subjects were generally consistent with those seen for the overall patient population participating in these studies (refer to the prescribing information for Edurant). The proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment with RPV or EFV + FTC/TDF due to adverse reactions, regardless of severity, was 2% and 5%, respectively. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were psychiatric disorders: 9 (1.6%) subjects in the RPV + FTC/TDF arm and 12 (2.2%) subjects in the EFV + FTC/TDF arm. Rash led to discontinuation in 1 (0.2%) subject in the RPV + FTC/TDF arm and 10 (1.8%) subjects in the EFV + FTC/TDF arm. Common Adverse Reactions: Clinical adverse reactions to RPV or EFV of at least moderate intensity (≥ Grade 2) reported in at least 2% of adult subjects are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Selected Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all Grades 2–4 treatment-emergent adverse events assessed to be related to study drug. (Grades 2–4) Reported in ≥ 2% of Adult Subjects Receiving RPV or EFV in Combination with FTC/TDF in Studies C209 and C215 (Week 96 Analysis) Preferred Term RPV + FTC/TDF EFV + FTC/TDF N=550 N=546 Depressive disorders Includes adverse reactions reported as depressed mood, depression, dysphoria, major depression, mood altered, negative thoughts, suicide attempt, suicide ideation. 2% 2% Headache 2% 2% Insomnia 2% 2% Abnormal dreams 1% 3% Dizziness 1% 7% Nausea 1% 2% Rash 1% 5% Rilpivirine: Adverse reactions of at least moderate intensity (≥Grade 2) that occurred in less than 2% of subjects treated with RPV plus any of the allowed background regimens (N=686) in clinical studies C209 and C215 include (grouped by Body System): vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, fatigue, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, decreased appetite, somnolence, sleep disorders, anxiety, glomerulonephritis membranous, glomerulonephritis mesangioproliferative, and nephrolithiasis. In Virologically Suppressed HIV-1-Infected Adult Subjects No new adverse reactions to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were identified in stable, virologically suppressed subjects switching to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets from a regimen containing a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor; however, the frequency of adverse reactions increased by 20% (Study 106) after switching to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Emtricitabine and Tenofovir DF: The most common adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of HIV-1-infected treatment-naïve adult subjects in a Phase 3 clinical trial of FTC and TDF in combination with another antiretroviral agent were diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, insomnia, abnormal dreams, and rash. Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of treatment-experienced or treatment-naïve subjects receiving FTC or TDF with other antiretroviral agents in clinical trials included abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting, fever, pain, nasopharyngitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection, arthralgia, back pain, myalgia, paresthesia, peripheral neuropathy (including peripheral neuritis and neuropathy), anxiety, increased cough, and rhinitis. Skin discoloration has been reported with higher frequency among FTC-treated subjects; it was manifested by hyperpigmentation on the palms and/or soles and was generally mild and asymptomatic. The mechanism and clinical significance are unknown. Laboratory Abnormalities in Adult Subjects The percentage of subjects treated with RPV + FTC/TDF or EFV + FTC/TDF in studies C209 and C215 with selected laboratory abnormalities (Grades 1–4), representing worst-grade toxicity, is presented in Table 2.

Adrenal Function: In the pooled Phase 3 trials of C209 and C215, in subjects treated with RPV plus any of the allowed background regimens (N=686), at Week 96 there was an overall mean change from baseline in basal cortisol of -0.69 (-1.12, 0.27) micrograms/dL in the RPV group, and of -0.02 (-0.48, 0.44) micrograms/dL in the EFV group. In the RPV group, 43/588 (7.3%) of subjects with a normal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test at baseline developed an abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test (peak cortisol level <18.1 micrograms/dL) during the trial compared to 18/561 (3.2%) in the EFV group. Of the subjects who developed an abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test during the trial, 14 subjects in the RPV group and 9 subjects in the EFV group had an abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test at Week 96. Overall, there were no serious adverse events, deaths, or treatment discontinuations that could clearly be attributed to adrenal insufficiency. The clinical significance of the higher abnormal rate of 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation tests in the RPV group is not known. Serum Creatinine: In the pooled Phase 3 trials of C209 and C215 in subjects treated with RPV plus any of the allowed background regimens (N=686), there was a small increase in serum creatinine over 96 weeks of treatment with RPV. Most of this increase occurred within the first 4 weeks of treatment, with a mean change of 0.1 mg/dL (range -0.3 to 0.6 mg/dL) observed through Week 96. In subjects who entered the trial with mild or moderate renal impairment, the serum creatinine increase observed was similar to that seen in subjects with normal renal function. These changes are not considered to be clinically relevant, and no subject discontinued treatment due to increases in serum creatinine. Creatinine increases were comparable by background N(t)RTIs. Serum Lipids: Changes from baseline in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides are presented in Table 3.

The same increase was also observed in the EFV arm. The pharmacokinetic exposure of RPV in coinfected subjects was comparable to that in subjects without coinfection. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Subjects Emtricitabine: In addition to the adverse reactions reported in adults, anemia and hyperpigmentation were observed in 7% and 32%, respectively, of pediatric subjects (3 months to less than 18 years of age) who received treatment with FTC in the larger of two open-label, uncontrolled pediatric trials (N=116). For additional information, please consult the EMTRIVA ® prescribing information. Rilpivirine: The safety assessment is based on the Week 48 analysis of the single-arm, open-label Phase 2 trial, TMC278-C213, in which 36 antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 32 kg received RPV (25 mg once daily) in combination with other antiretroviral agents. The median duration of exposure for subjects was 63.5 weeks. No subjects discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions. No new adverse reactions were identified compared to those seen in adults. Adverse reactions were reported in 19 pediatric subjects (52.8%). Most adverse reactions were Grade 1 or 2. The most common adverse reactions reported in at least 2 subjects (regardless of severity) include headache (19.4%), depression (19.4%), somnolence (13.9%), nausea (11.1%), dizziness (8.3%), abdominal pain (8.3%), vomiting (5.6%), and rash (5.6%). Observed laboratory abnormalities were comparable to those in adults. For additional information, please consult the Edurant prescribing information. Adrenal Function In trial TMC278-C213, at Week 48, the overall mean change from baseline in basal cortisol showed an increase of 1.59 (0.24, 2.93) micrograms/dL. Six of 30 (20%) subjects with a normal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test at baseline developed an abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test (peak cortisol level < 18.1 micrograms/dL) during the trial. Three of these subjects had an abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation test at Week 48. Overall, there were no serious adverse events, deaths, or treatment discontinuations that could clearly be attributed to adrenal insufficiency. The clinical significance of the abnormal 250 micrograms ACTH stimulation tests is not known. Tenofovir DF: In a pediatric clinical trial conducted in subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age, the adverse reactions observed in pediatric subjects who received treatment with TDF were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of TDF in adults [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . For additional information, including information on bone mineral density changes, please consult the VIREAD ® prescribing information. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing experience in patients receiving RPV- or TDF-containing regimens. 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. Emtricitabine, Rilpivirine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets: Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders : weight increased Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders severe skin and hypersensitivity reactions including DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) Rilpivirine: Renal and Urinary Disorders : nephrotic syndrome Emtricitabine: No postmarketing adverse reactions have been identified for inclusion in this section.

Drug Interactions
• Emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended. ( 7.1 ) • Consult the Full Prescribing Information prior to and during treatment for important drug interactions. ( 4 , 5.7 , 7 ) 7.1 Not Recommended with Other Antiretroviral Medications Because emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a complete regimen, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended. Comprehensive information regarding potential drug-drug interactions with other antiretroviral medications is not provided. This section describes clinically relevant drug interactions with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Drug interaction studies were conducted with the components of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets (FTC, RPV, and TDF as single agents) or with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets as a combination product [see Dosage and Administration (2) , Contraindications (4) , and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 7.2 Drugs Inducing or Inhibiting CYP3A Enzymes Rilpivirine is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A, and drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A may thus affect the clearance of RPV [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.7) , and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Coadministration of RPV and drugs that induce CYP3A may result in decreased plasma concentrations of RPV and loss of virologic response and possible resistance to RPV or to the class of NNRTIs. Coadministration of RPV and drugs that inhibit CYP3A may result in increased plasma concentrations of RPV. 7.3 Drugs Increasing Gastric pH Coadministration of RPV with drugs that increase gastric pH may decrease plasma concentrations of RPV and loss of virologic response and possible resistance to RPV or to the class of NNRTIs. Use of RPV with proton pump inhibitors is contraindicated and use of RPV with H2-receptor antagonists requires staggered administration [see Contraindications (4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 7.4 Drugs Affecting Renal Function Because FTC and tenofovir are primarily eliminated by the kidneys through a combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion, coadministration of emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase serum concentrations of FTC, tenofovir, and/or other renally eliminated drugs. Some examples of drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion include, but are not limited to, acyclovir, adefovir dipivoxil, cidofovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . 7.5 QT Prolonging Drugs There is limited information available on the potential for a pharmacodynamic interaction between RPV and drugs that prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram. In a study of healthy subjects, 75 mg once daily and 300 mg once daily doses of RPV (3 times and 12 times the dose in emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets) have been shown to prolong the QTc interval of the electrocardiogram [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Consider alternatives to emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets when coadministered with a drug with a known risk of Torsade de Pointes. 7.6 Significant Drug Interactions Important drug interaction information for emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets is summarized in Table 4. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with FTC, RPV, or TDF as individual medications or with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets as a combination product, or are potential drug interactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , Tables 9–14] . For list of contraindicated drugs, [see Contraindications (4) ] . Table 4 Significant This table is not all inclusive. Drug Interactions Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Effect on Concentration Increase = ↑; Decrease = ↓; No Effect = ↔ Clinical Comment Antacids: antacids (e.g., aluminum, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium carbonate) ↔ RPV (antacids taken at least 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after RPV) ↓ RPV (concomitant intake) Administer antacids at least 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine oxcarbazepine phenobarbital phenytoin ↓ RPV Coadministration is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and development of resistance. Antimycobacterials: rifampin rifapentine ↓ RPV Coadministration is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and development of resistance. rifabutin ↓ RPV The interaction was evaluated in a clinical study. All other drug-drug interactions shown are predicted. If emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are coadministered with rifabutin, an additional 25 mg tablet of RPV (Edurant) once per day is recommended to be taken concomitantly with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and with a meal for the duration of rifabutin coadministration. Azole Antifungal Agents: fluconazole itraconazole ketoconazole posaconazole voriconazole ↑ RPV , This interaction study has been performed with a dose higher than the recommended dose for RPV assessing the maximal effect on the coadministered drug. The dosing recommendation is applicable to the recommended dose of RPV 25 mg once daily. ↓ ketoconazole , No dose adjustment is required when emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are coadministered with azole antifungal agents. Clinically monitor for breakthrough fungal infections when azole antifungals are coadministered with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Glucocorticoid (systemic): dexamethasone (more than a single-dose treatment) ↓ RPV Coadministration is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and development of resistance. Hepatitis C Antiviral Agents: ledipasvir/sofosbuvir sofosbuvir/velpatasvir sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/ voxilaprevir ↑ tenofovir Patients receiving emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets concomitantly with HARVONI ® (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir), EPCLUSA ® (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir), or VOSEVI ® (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir) should be monitored for adverse reactions associated with TDF. H 2 -Receptor Antagonists: cimetidine famotidine nizatidine ranitidine ↔ RPV , (famotidine taken 12 hours before RPV or 4 hours after RPV) ↓ RPV , (famotidine taken 2 hours before RPV) Administer H 2 -receptor antagonists at least 12 hours before or at least 4 hours after emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Herbal Products: St John’s wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) ↓ RPV Coadministration is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and development of resistance. Macrolide or Ketolide Antibiotics: clarithromycin erythromycin telithromycin ↑ RPV ↔ clarithromycin ↔ erythromycin ↔ telithromycin Where possible, alternatives such as azithromycin should be considered. Narcotic Analgesics: methadone ↓ R(−) methadone ↓ S(+) methadone ↔ RPV ↔ methadone (when used with tenofovir) No dose adjustments are required when initiating coadministration of methadone with emtricitabine, rilpivirine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. However, clinical monitoring is recommended as methadone maintenance therapy may need to be adjusted in some patients. Proton Pump Inhibitors: e.g., dexlansoprazole esomeprazole lansoprazole omeprazole pantoprazole rabeprazole ↓ RPV Coadministration is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and development of resistance. 7.7 Drugs with No Observed Interactions with Emtricitabine, Rilpivirine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets No clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between FTC and the following medications: famciclovir, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, or TDF. No clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between TDF and the following medications: entecavir, methadone, oral contraceptives, ribavirin, sofosbuvir, or tacrolimus in studies conducted in healthy subjects. No clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between RPV and the following medications: acetaminophen, atorvastatin, chlorzoxazone, ethinyl estradiol, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, norethindrone, sildenafil, simeprevir, sofosbuvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, or TDF. RPV did not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin or metformin.
