Overview
CIMDUO tablets contain lamivudine (also known as 3TC), a synthetic nucleoside analogue with activity against HIV-1 and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tenofovir DF, a fumaric acid salt of bis-isopropoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester prodrug of tenofovir. In vivo tenofovir DF is converted to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5’-monophosphate. Tenofovir exhibits activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The chemical name of lamivudine is (-)-1-[2 R ,5 S ) - 2-Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine. Lamivudine is the (-)enantiomer of a dideoxy analogue of cytidine. Lamivudine has also been referred to as (-)2′,3′-dideoxy, 3′-thiacytidine. It has a molecular formula of C 8 H 11 N 3 O 3 S and a molecular weight of 229.26 g per mol. It has the following structural formula: Lamivudine is a white to off-white solid with a solubility of approximately 70 mg per mL in water at 20°C. The chemical name of tenofovir DF is 9-[(R)-2-[[Bis[[(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy]methoxy]phosphinyl]methoxy]propyl]adenine fumarate (1:1). It has a molecular formula of C 19 H 30 N 5 O 10 P•C 4 H 4 O 4 and a molecular weight of 635.51. It has the following structural formula: Tenofovir DF is a white to off-white powder with a solubility of 13.4 mg/mL in distilled water at 25°C. It has an octanol/phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) partition coefficient (log p) of 1.25 at 25°C. CIMDUO tablets are for oral administration. Each film-coated tablet contains 300 mg of lamivudine and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, which is equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil, and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. The tablet coating contains polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol and talc. Lamivudine Structural Formula Tenofovir Structural Formula
Indications & Usage
CIMDUO ® (lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg. CIMDUO is a two-drug combination of lamivudine (3TC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), both nucleo(t)side reverse transcriptase inhibitors and is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg. ( 1 )
Dosage & Administration
• Testing: Prior to initiation and during treatment with CIMDUO, patients should be tested for hepatitis B virus infection, and estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein should be obtained. ( 2.1 ) • Recommended dose: One tablet taken orally once daily with or without food. ( 2.2 ) • Renal Impairment: Not recommended in patients with CrCL less than 50 mL/min or patients with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Testing Prior to Initiation and During Treatment with CIMDUO Prior to initiation of CIMDUO, test patients for hepatitis B virus infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . It is recommended that serum creatinine, serum phosphorus, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein be assessed before initiating CIMDUO and during therapy in all patients as clinically appropriate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage for Adult and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 35 kg CIMDUO is a two-drug fixed-dose combination product containing 300 mg of lamivudine (3TC) and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). The recommended dosage of CIMDUO in HIV-1-infected adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg is one tablet taken orally once daily with or without food. 2.3 Not Recommended in Renal Impairment Because CIMDUO is a fixed-dose combination tablet and cannot be dose adjusted, it is not recommended for patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance less than 50 mL/min) or patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] .
Warnings & Precautions
• Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis: Discontinue treatment in patients who develop symptoms or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity. ( 5.1 ) • New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment: Can include acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome. Assess estimated creatinine clearance before initiating treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, a component of CIMDUO. In patients at risk for renal dysfunction, assess estimated creatinine clearance, serum phosphorus, urine glucose and urine protein before initiating treatment with tenofovir and periodically during treatment. Avoid administering CIMDUO with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic drugs. ( 5.3 ) • Hepatic decompensation, some fatal, has occurred in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy and interferon- and ribavirin-based regimens. Monitor for treatment-associated toxicities. Discontinue CIMDUO, as medically appropriate, and consider dose reduction or discontinuation of interferon alfa, ribavirin, or both. ( 5.4 ) • Pancreatitis: Use with caution in pediatric patients with a history of pancreatitis or other significant risk factors for pancreatitis. Discontinue CIMDUO as clinically appropriate. ( 5.5 ) • Decreases in Bone Mineral Density (BMD): Observed in HIV-infected patients. Consider assessment of BMD in patients with a history of pathologic fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. ( 5.6 ) • Immune Reconstitution Syndrome: Observed in HIV-infected patients. May necessitate further evaluation and treatment. ( 5.7 ) • Redistribution/Accumulation of Body Fat: Observed in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral combination therapy. ( 5.8 ) • Triple Nucleoside-Only Regimens: Early virologic failure has been reported in HIV-infected patients. Monitor carefully and consider treatment modification. ( 5.9 ) 5.1 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 analogs and other antiretrovirals. Treatment 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) . 5.2 Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients Coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV Posttreatment Exacerbations of Hepatitis All patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) before initiating antiretroviral therapy. Discontinuation of anti-HBV therapy, including 3TC and TDF, may be associated with severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis. Patients infected with HBV who discontinue CIMDUO should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment. If appropriate, resumption of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted. Important Differences Among Lamivudine-Containing Products CIMDUO tablets contain a higher dose of the same active ingredient, 3TC, than EPIVIR-HBV ® tablets. EPIVIR-HBV was developed for patients with chronic hepatitis B. The formulation and dosage of 3TC in EPIVIR-HBV are not appropriate for patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV. Safety and efficacy of 3TC have not been established for treatment of chronic hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV. If treatment with EPIVIR-HBV, TDF, or a tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-containing product is prescribed for chronic hepatitis B for a patient with unrecognized or untreated HIV-1 infection, rapid emergence of HIV-1 resistance is likely to result because of the subtherapeutic dose and the inappropriateness of monotherapy HIV-1 treatment. 5.3 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment TDF, a component of CIMDUO is principally eliminated by the kidney. 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) ] . It is recommended that estimated creatinine clearance be assessed in all patients prior to initiating therapy and as clinically appropriate during therapy with TDF. In patients at risk of renal dysfunction, it is recommended that estimated creatinine clearance, serum phosphorus, urine glucose, and urine protein be assessed prior to initiation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and periodically during TDF therapy. Avoid CIMDUO with concurrent or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent (e.g., high-dose or multiple non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)) [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . 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. 5.4 Risk of Hepatic Decompensation When Used with Interferon- and Ribavirin-Based Regimens In vitro studies have shown ribavirin can reduce the phosphorylation of pyrimidine nucleoside analogues such as 3TC, a component of CIMDUO. Although no evidence of a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction (e.g., loss of HIV-1/HCV virologic suppression) was seen when ribavirin was coadministered with 3TC in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , hepatic decompensation (some fatal) has occurred in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 and interferon alfa with or without ribavirin. Patients receiving interferon alfa with or without ribavirin and 3TC should be closely monitored for treatment-associated toxicities, especially hepatic decompensation. Discontinuation of 3TC should be considered as medically appropriate. Dose reduction or discontinuation of interferon alfa, ribavirin, or both should also be considered if worsening clinical toxicities are observed, including hepatic decompensation (e.g., Child-Pugh > 6). See the full prescribing information for interferon and ribavirin. 5.5 Pancreatitis In pediatric patients with a history of prior antiretroviral nucleoside exposure, a history of pancreatitis, or other significant risk factors for the development of pancreatitis, 3TC, a component of CIMDUO, should be used with caution. Treatment with CIMDUO should be stopped immediately if clinical signs, symptoms, or laboratory abnormalities suggestive of pancreatitis occur [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 5.6 Bone Effects Bone Mineral Density (BMD) In clinical trials in HIV-1-infected adults, TDF was associated with slightly greater decreases in 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 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 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 adults 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 (5.3) ]. 5.7 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in HIV-infected patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including 3TC and TDF. 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, and Guillain-Barre syndrome) 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. 5.8 Fat Redistribution In HIV-infected patients, redistribution/accumulation of body fat including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and “cushingoid appearance” have been observed in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. A causal relationship has not been established. 5.9 Early Virologic Failure Clinical trials in HIV-infected subjects have demonstrated that certain regimens that only contain three nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) are generally less effective than triple drug regimens containing two NRTIs in combination with either a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or a HIV-1 protease inhibitor. In particular, early virological failure and high rates of resistance substitutions have been reported. Triple nucleoside regimens should therefore be used with caution. Patients on a therapy utilizing a triple nucleoside-only regimen should be carefully monitored and considered for treatment modification.

Lamivudine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Treatment-Naïve Patients Study 903 - Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions seen in a double-blind comparative controlled study in which 600 treatment-naïve subjects received TDF (N = 299) or stavudine (d4T) (N = 301) in combination with 3TC and EFV for 144 weeks were mild to moderate gastrointestinal events and dizziness. Mild adverse reactions (Grade 1) were common with a similar incidence in both arms, and included dizziness, diarrhea, and nausea. Selected moderate to severe adverse reactions are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Selected Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of relationship to study drug. (Grades 2-4) Reported in ≥ 5% in Any Treatment Group in Study 903 (0-144 Weeks) TDF + 3TC + EFV d4T + 3TC + EFV N = 299 N = 301 Body as a Whole Headache 14% 17% Pain 13% 12% Fever 8% 7% Abdominal pain 7% 12% Back pain 9% 8% Asthenia 6% 7% Digestive System Diarrhea 11% 13% Nausea 8% 9% Dyspepsia 4% 5% Vomiting 5% 9% Metabolic Disorders Lipodystrophy Lipodystrophy represents a variety of investigator-described adverse events not a protocol-defined syndrome. 1% 8% Musculoskeletal Arthralgia 5% 7% Myalgia 3% 5% Nervous System Depression 11% 10% Insomnia 5% 8% Dizziness 3% 6% Peripheral neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy includes peripheral neuritis and neuropathy. 1% 5% Anxiety 6% 6% Respiratory Pneumonia 5% 5% Skin and Appendages Rash event Rash event includes rash, pruritus, maculopapular rash, urticaria, vesiculobullous rash, and pustular rash. 18% 12% Laboratory Abnormalities With the exception of fasting cholesterol and fasting triglyceride elevations that were more common in the stavudine group (40% and 9%) compared with TDF (19% and 1%) respectively, laboratory abnormalities observed in this study occurred with similar frequency in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and stavudine treatment arms. A summary of Grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities is provided in Table 2. Table 2. Grade 3/4 Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in ≥ 1% of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Treated Subjects in Study 903 (0-144 Weeks) TDF + 3TC + EFV d4T + 3TC + EFV N = 299 N = 301 Any ≥ Grade 3 Laboratory Abnormality 36% 42% Fasting Cholesterol (> 240 mg/dL) 19% 40% Creatine Kinase (M: > 990 U/L; F: > 845 U/L) 12% 12% Serum Amylase (> 175 U/L) 9% 8% AST (M: > 180 U/L; F: > 170 U/L) 5% 7% ALT (M: > 215 U/L; F: > 170 U/L) 4% 5% Hematuria (> 100 RBC/HPF) 7% 7% Neutrophils (< 750/mm 3 ) 3% 1% Fasting Triglycerides (> 750 mg/dL) 1% 9% Pancreatitis Pancreatitis, which has been fatal in some cases, has been observed in antiretroviral nucleoside-experienced pediatric subjects receiving 3TC alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. Changes in Bone Mineral Density In HIV-1-infected adult subjects in Study 903, there was a significantly greater mean percentage decrease from baseline in BMD at the lumbar spine in subjects receiving TDF + 3TC + EFV (-2.2% ± 3.9) compared with subjects receiving d4T + 3TC + EFV (-1.0% ± 4.6) through 144 weeks. Changes in BMD at the hip were similar between the two treatment groups (-2.8% ± 3.5 in the TDF group vs. -2.4% ± 4.5 in the d4T group). In both groups, the majority of the reduction in BMD occurred in the first 24-48 weeks of the trial and this reduction was sustained through Week 144. Twenty-eight percent of TDF-treated subjects vs. 21% of the d4T-treated subjects lost at least 5% of BMD at the spine or 7% of BMD at the hip. Clinically relevant fractures (excluding fingers and toes) were reported in 4 subjects in the TDF group and 6 subjects in the d4T group. In addition, there were significant increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism (serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum osteocalcin, serum C telopeptide, and urinary N telopeptide) and higher serum parathyroid hormone levels and 1,25 Vitamin D levels in the TDF group relative to the d4T group; however, except for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, these changes resulted in values that remained within the normal range [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use for each of the individual components of CIMDUO (3TC and TDF). Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure. These reactions have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to 3TC and TDF. Lamivudine Body as a Whole: redistribution/accumulation of body fat [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ]. Endocrine and Metabolic: hyperglycemia. General: weakness. Hemic and Lymphatic: anemia (including pure red cell aplasia and severe anemias progressing on therapy). Hepatic and Pancreatic: lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis, posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis B [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ] .

Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Immune System Disorders: allergic reaction, including angioedema. Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: lactic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia. Respiratory, Thoracic, and Mediastinal Disorders: dyspnea. Gastrointestinal Disorders: pancreatitis, increased amylase, abdominal pain. Renal and Urinary Disorders: renal insufficiency, acute renal failure, renal failure, acute tubular necrosis, Fanconi syndrome, proximal renal tubulopathy, interstitial nephritis (including acute cases), nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, renal insufficiency, increased creatinine, proteinuria, polyuria [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Hepatobiliary Disorders: hepatic steatosis, hepatitis, increased liver enzymes (most commonly AST, ALT gamma GT). Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: rash. Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia (manifested as bone pain and which may contribute to fractures), muscular weakness, myopathy. General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: asthenia. The following adverse reactions, listed under the body system headings above, may occur as a consequence of proximal renal tubulopathy: rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia, hypokalemia, muscular weakness, myopathy, hypophosphatemia.
Drug Interactions
• Atazanavir: Atazanavir should be coadministered with ritonavir when coadministered with CIMDUO. ( 7.2 ) • HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors: Monitor for evidence of tenofovir toxicity when CIMDUO is coadministrated with atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or lopinavir/ritonavir. ( 7.2 ) • Sorbitol: Avoid chronic administration of sorbitol with CIMDUO.( 7.5 ) 7.1 Drugs Affecting Renal Function Since tenofovir is primarily eliminated by the kidneys [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , coadministration of CIMDUO with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase serum concentrations of tenofovir and/or increase the concentrations of other renally eliminated drugs. Some examples include, but are not limited to cidofovir, acyclovir, valacyclovir, ganciclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 7.2 HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors TDF decreases the AUC and C min of atazanavir [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . When coadministered with CIMDUO, it is recommended that atazanavir 300 mg is given with ritonavir 100 mg. TDF should not be coadministered with atazanavir without ritonavir. Lopinavir/ritonavir, atazanavir coadministered with ritonavir, and darunavir coadministered with ritonavir have been shown to increase tenofovir concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Patients receiving CIMDUO concomitantly with lopinavir/ritonavir, atazanavir and ritonavir, or darunavir and ritonavir should be monitored for tenofovir-associated adverse reactions. CIMDUO should be discontinued in patients who develop tenofovir-associated adverse reactions. 7.3 Hepatitis C Antiviral Agents Coadministration of TDF, a component of CIMDUO, and EPCLUSA ® (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) or HARVONI ® (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) has been shown to increase tenofovir exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . In patients receiving TDF concomitantly with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, monitor for adverse reactions associated with TDF. In patients receiving CIMDUO concomitantly with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir without an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/ritonavir or an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/cobicistat combination, monitor for adverse reactions associated with tenofovir. In patients receiving CIMDUO concomitantly with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir and an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/ritonavir or an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/cobicistat combination, consider an alternative HCV or antiretroviral therapy, as the safety of increased tenofovir concentrations in this setting has not been established. If coadministration is necessary, monitor for adverse reactions associated with tenofovir. 7.4 Drugs Inhibiting Organic Cation Transporters 3TC, a component of CIMDUO, is predominantly eliminated in the urine by active organic cationic secretion. The possibility of interactions with other drugs administered concurrently should be considered, particularly when their main route of elimination is active renal secretion via the organic cationic transport system (e.g., trimethoprim) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . No data are available regarding interactions with other drugs that have renal clearance mechanisms similar to that of 3TC. 7.5 Sorbitol Coadministration of single doses of 3TC and sorbitol resulted in a sorbitol dose-dependent reduction in 3TC exposures. When possible, avoid use of sorbitol-containing medicines with 3TC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
