Adult Patients
Prezista®, co-administered with ritonavir (Prezista/ritonavir), and with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection.
This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from 2 controlled Phase 3 trials of 48 weeks duration in antiretroviral treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients and 2 controlled Phase 2 trials of 96 weeks duration in clinically advanced, treatment-experienced adult patients.
Pediatric Patients
Prezista, co-administered with ritonavir (Prezista/ritonavir), and with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients 3 years of age and older [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
This indication is based on 24-week analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from 2 open-label Phase 2 trials in antiretroviral treatment-experienced pediatric patients (one trial in patients 6 to less than 18 years of age and one trial in patients 3 to less than 6 years of age).
In treatment-experienced adult and pediatric patients, the following points should be considered when initiating therapy with Prezista/ritonavir:
- Treatment history and, when available, genotypic or phenotypic testing should guide the use of Prezista/ritonavir [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4)].
- The use of other active agents with Prezista/ritonavir is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4) and Clinical Studies (14.3)].
Prezista Dosage and Administration
Adult Patients
Prezista must be co-administered with ritonavir to exert its therapeutic effect. Failure to correctly co-administer Prezista with ritonavir will result in plasma levels of darunavir that will be insufficient to achieve the desired antiviral effect and will alter some drug interactions.
Patients who have difficulty swallowing Prezista tablets can use the 100 mg/mL Prezista oral suspension.
Treatment-Naïve Adult Patients
The recommended oral dose of Prezista is 800 mg (two 400 mg tablets or 8 mL of the oral suspension) taken with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL of a 80 mg/mL ritonavir oral solution) once daily and with food.
Treatment-Experienced Adult Patients
| Treatment-Experienced Adult Patients | |
|---|---|
| |
| With no darunavir resistance associated substitutions* | With at least one darunavir resistance associated substitution* |
| Prezista 800 mg (two 400 mg tablets or 8 mL†) once daily with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL) once daily and with food | Prezista 600 mg (e.g. one 600 mg tablet or 6 mL) twice daily with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL) twice daily and with food |
For antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients genotypic testing is recommended. However, when genotypic testing is not feasible, Prezista/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily dosing is recommended.
Pediatric Patients (age 3 to less than 18 years)
Do not use once daily dosing in pediatric patients.
Healthcare professionals should pay special attention to accurate dose selection of Prezista, transcription of the medication order, dispensing information and dosing instruction to minimize risk for medication errors, overdose, and underdose.
Prescribers should select the appropriate dose of Prezista/ritonavir for each individual child based on body weight (kg) and should not exceed the recommended dose for treatment-experienced adults.
Before prescribing Prezista, children weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg should be assessed for the ability to swallow tablets. If a child is unable to reliably swallow a tablet, the use of Prezista oral suspension should be considered.
The recommended dose of Prezista/ritonavir for pediatric patients (3 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg is based on body weight (see Tables 1, 2 and 3) and should not exceed the recommended treatment-experienced adult dose (Prezista/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily). Prezista should be taken with ritonavir twice daily and with food.
Dosing recommendations for pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg but less than 15 kg
The weight-based dose in pediatric patients weighing less than 15 kg is Prezista 20 mg/kg with ritonavir 3 mg/kg which can be dosed using the following table:
| Body weight (kg) | Dose (twice daily with food) |
|---|---|
| |
| Greater than or equal to 10 kg to less than 11 kg | Prezista 200 mg (2 mL) with ritonavir 32 mg (0.4 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 11 kg to less than 12 kg | Prezista 220 mg (2.2 mL) with ritonavir 32 mg (0.4 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 12 kg to less than 13 kg | Prezista 240 mg (2.4 mL) with ritonavir 40 mg (0.5 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 13 kg to less than 14 kg | Prezista 260 mg (2.6 mL) with ritonavir 40 mg (0.5 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 14 kg to less than 15 kg | Prezista 280 mg (2.8 mL) with ritonavir 48 mg (0.6 mL) |
Dosing recommendations for pediatric patients weighing at least 15 kg
Pediatric patients who weigh at least 15 kg and are able to swallow tablets can be dosed using the following table:
| Body Weight (kg) | Dose (twice daily with food) |
|---|---|
| |
| Greater than or equal to 15 kg to less than 30 kg | Prezista 375 mg with ritonavir* 50 mg (0.6 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 30 kg to less than 40 kg | Prezista 450 mg with ritonavir* 60 mg (0.75 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 40 kg | Prezista 600 mg with ritonavir†100 mg |
Pediatric patients who weigh at least 15 kg but are unable to swallow tablets can be dosed using the following table:
| Body Weight (kg) | Dose (twice daily with food) |
|---|---|
| |
| Greater than or equal to 15 kg to less than 30 kg | Prezista 375 mg† (3.8 mL) with ritonavir 50 mg (0.6 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 30 kg to less than 40 kg | Prezista 450 mg‡ (4.6 mL) with ritonavir 60 mg (0.75 mL) |
| Greater than or equal to 40 kg | Prezista 600 mg (6 mL) with ritonavir 100 mg (1.25 mL) |
Do not use Prezista/ritonavir in pediatric patients below 3 years of age [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)].
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. No data are available regarding the use of Prezista/ritonavir when co-administered to subjects with severe hepatic impairment; therefore, Prezista/ritonavir is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Contraindications
Co-administration of Prezista/ritonavir is contraindicated with drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events (narrow therapeutic index). These drugs and other contraindicated drugs (which may lead to reduced efficacy of darunavir) are listed in Table 4 [also see Drug Interactions (7.3), Table 9].
| Drug Class | Drugs Within Class That Are Contraindicated With Prezista/ritonavir | Clinical Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist | Alfuzosin | Potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as hypotension. |
| Ergot Derivatives | Dihydroergotamine, Ergonovine, Ergotamine, Methylergonovine | Potential for serious and/or life-threatening events such as acute ergot toxicity characterized by peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues. |
| GI Motility Agent | Cisapride | Potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as cardiac arrhythmias. |
| Neuroleptic | Pimozide | Potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as cardiac arrhythmias. |
| Sedative/hypnotics | Orally administered Midazolam, Triazolam | Triazolam and orally administered midazolam are extensively metabolized by CYP3A. Co-administration of triazolam or orally administered midazolam with Prezista/ritonavir may cause large increases in the concentrations of these benzodiazepines. Potential for serious and/or life-threatening events such as prolonged or increased sedation or respiratory depression. |
| Herbal Products | St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) | Patients taking Prezista/ritonavir should not use products containing St. John's wort because co-administration may result in reduced plasma concentrations of darunavir. This may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance. |
| HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors | Lovastatin, Simvastatin | Potential for serious reactions such as myopathy including rhabdomyolysis. For dosing recommendation regarding atorvastatin and pravastatin, see Table 9: Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions: Alterations in Dose or Regimen May Be Recommended Based on Drug Interaction Studies or Predicted Interaction. |
| Antimycobacterial | Rifampin | Rifampin is a potent inducer of CYP450 metabolism. Prezista/ritonavir should not be used in combination with rifampin, as this may cause significant decreases in darunavir plasma concentrations. This may result in loss of therapeutic effect to Prezista. |
| PDE-5 inhibitor | Sildenafil for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension | A safe and effective dose for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension has not been established with Prezista/ritonavir. There is an increased potential for sildenafil-associated adverse events (which include visual disturbances, hypotension, prolonged erection, and syncope). |
Due to the need for co-administration of Prezista with ritonavir, please refer to ritonavir prescribing information for a description of ritonavir contraindications.
Warnings and Precautions
General
Prezista must be co-administered with ritonavir and food to achieve the desired antiviral effect. Failure to administer Prezista with ritonavir and food may result in a loss of efficacy of darunavir.
Please refer to ritonavir prescribing information for additional information on precautionary measures.
Hepatotoxicity
Drug-induced hepatitis (e.g., acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) has been reported with Prezista/ritonavir. During the clinical development program (N=3063), hepatitis was reported in 0.5% of patients receiving combination therapy with Prezista/ritonavir. Patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction, including chronic active hepatitis B or C, have an increased risk for liver function abnormalities including severe hepatic adverse events.
Post-marketing cases of liver injury, including some fatalities, have been reported. These have generally occurred in patients with advanced HIV-1 disease taking multiple concomitant medications, having co-morbidities including hepatitis B or C co-infection, and/or developing immune reconstitution syndrome. A causal relationship with Prezista/ritonavir therapy has not been established.
Appropriate laboratory testing should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with Prezista/ritonavir and patients should be monitored during treatment. Increased AST/ALT monitoring should be considered in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in patients who have pre-treatment elevations of transaminases, especially during the first several months of Prezista/ritonavir treatment.
Evidence of new or worsening liver dysfunction (including clinically significant elevation of liver enzymes and/or symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, liver tenderness, hepatomegaly) in patients on Prezista/ritonavir should prompt consideration of interruption or discontinuation of treatment.
Severe Skin Reactions
During the clinical development program (n=3063), severe skin reactions, accompanied by fever and/or elevations of transaminases in some cases, have been reported in 0.4% of subjects. Stevens-Johnson Syndrome was rarely (less than 0.1%) reported during the clinical development program. During post-marketing experience toxic epidermal necrolysis has been reported. Discontinue Prezista/ritonavir immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions develop. These can include but are not limited to severe rash or rash accompanied with fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and/or eosinophilia.
Rash (all grades, regardless of causality) occurred in 10.3% of subjects treated with Prezista/ritonavir [also see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Rash was mostly mild-to-moderate, often occurring within the first four weeks of treatment and resolving with continued dosing. The discontinuation rate due to rash in subjects using Prezista/ritonavir was 0.5%.
Rash occurred more commonly in treatment-experienced subjects receiving regimens containing Prezista/ritonavir + raltegravir compared to subjects receiving Prezista/ritonavir without raltegravir or raltegravir without Prezista/ritonavir. However, rash that was considered drug related occurred at similar rates for all three groups. These rashes were mild to moderate in severity and did not limit therapy; there were no discontinuations due to rash.
Sulfa Allergy
Darunavir contains a sulfonamide moiety. Prezista should be used with caution in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy. In clinical studies with Prezista/ritonavir, the incidence and severity of rash were similar in subjects with or without a history of sulfonamide allergy.
Drug Interactions
See Table 4 for a listing of drugs that are contraindicated for use with Prezista/ritonavir due to potentially life-threatening adverse events, significant drug-drug interactions, or loss of therapeutic effect to Prezista [see Contraindications (4)]. Please refer to Table 9 for established and other potentially significant drug-drug interactions [see Drug Interactions (7.3)].
Diabetes Mellitus / Hyperglycemia
New onset diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of pre-existing diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia have been reported during postmarketing surveillance in HIV-infected patients receiving protease inhibitor (PI) therapy. Some patients required either initiation or dose adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of these events. In some cases, diabetic ketoacidosis has occurred. In those patients who discontinued PI therapy, hyperglycemia persisted in some cases. Because these events have been reported voluntarily during clinical practice, estimates of frequency cannot be made and causal relationships between PI therapy and these events have not been established.
Fat Redistribution
Redistribution/accumulation of body fat, including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and "cushingoid appearance" have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. A causal relationship has not been established.
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
During the initial phase of treatment, patients responding to antiretroviral therapy may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium complex, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and tuberculosis), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
Hemophilia
There have been reports of increased bleeding, including spontaneous skin hematomas and hemarthrosis in patients with hemophilia type A and B treated with PIs. In some patients, additional factor VIII was given. In more than half of the reported cases, treatment with PIs was continued or reintroduced if treatment had been discontinued. A causal relationship between PI therapy and these episodes has not been established.
Resistance/Cross-Resistance
Because the potential for HIV cross-resistance among PIs has not been fully explored in Prezista/ritonavir treated patients, the effect therapy with Prezista will have on the activity of subsequently administered PIs is unknown [see Microbiology (12.4)].
Pediatric Patients
Do not administer Prezista/ritonavir in pediatric patients below 3 years of age in view of toxicity and mortality observed in juvenile rats dosed with darunavir (from 20 mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg) up to days 23 to 26 of age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 and 8.4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)].
Adverse Reactions
The overall safety profile of Prezista/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily and Prezista/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily is based on clinical trials and post-marketing data, and is consistent with the data presented below.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Due to the need for co-administration of Prezista with ritonavir, please refer to ritonavir prescribing information for ritonavir-associated adverse reactions.
Clinical Trials Experience: Treatment-Naïve Adults
Study TMC114-C211
The safety assessment is based on all safety data from the Phase 3 trial TMC114-C211 comparing Prezista/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily versus lopinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg per day in 689 antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected adult subjects. The total mean exposure for subjects in the Prezista/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily arm and in the lopinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg per day arm was 162.5 and 153.5 weeks, respectively.
The majority of the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported during treatment with Prezista/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily were mild in severity. The most common clinical ADRs to Prezista/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily (greater than or equal to 5%) of at least moderate intensity (greater than or equal to Grade 2) were diarrhea, headache, abdominal pain and rash. 2.3% of subjects in the Prezista/ritonavir arm discontinued treatment due to ADRs.
