Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older weighing at least 15 kg with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions (V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V, L89V) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . PREZCOBIX and PREZCOBIX PED are a two-drug combination of darunavir, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protease inhibitor, and cobicistat, a CYP3A inhibitor, and are indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older weighing at least 15 kg with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions (V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V, L89V).

Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dosage: Adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg: One 800 mg/150 mg tablet taken once daily with food. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg to less than 40 kg: One 675 mg/150 mg tablet taken once daily with food. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Pediatric patients 3 years of age and older weighing at least 15 kg to less than 25 kg: One 600 mg/90 mg tablet for oral suspension taken once daily with food. PREZCOBIX PED must be dispersed in drinking water and taken immediately with food. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) Testing Prior to Initiation: HIV genotypic testing is recommended for antiretroviral treatment experienced patients. Assess estimated creatinine clearance in all patients prior to starting PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED. When used with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF): Assess urine glucose and urine protein at baseline and monitor creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein. Monitor serum phosphorus in patients with or at risk for renal impairment. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Overview of Different Dosage Forms Two different dosage forms are available: PREZCOBIX Tablets: 800 mg/150 mg film-coated tablets for adults and pediatric patients weig…
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Darunavir and cobicistat are both inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. PREZCOBIX should not be co-administered with medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which increased plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events (narrow therapeutic index). Darunavir and cobicistat are both substrates of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with CYP3A inducers may lead to lower exposures of darunavir and cobicistat and potential loss of efficacy of darunavir and possible resistance. Examples of drugs that are contraindicated for co-administration with PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED [see Drug Interactions (7.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] are listed below. Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin Anti-gout: colchicine, in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment Antimycobacterial: rifampin Antipsychotics: lurasidone, pimozide Cardiac Disorders: dronedarone, ivabradine, ranolazine Ergot derivatives, e.g. dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine Herbal product: St.…
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Co-administration of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with other drugs can alter the concentration of other drugs and other drugs may alter the concentrations of darunavir or cobicistat. Consult the full prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug interactions. ( 4 , 5.6 , 7 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Potential for PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED to Affect Other Drugs Darunavir co-administered with cobicistat is an inhibitor of CYP3A and CYP2D6. Cobicistat inhibits the following transporters: P-glycoprotein (P-gp), BCRP, MATE1, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Therefore, co-administration of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A and/or CYP2D6 or are substrates of P-gp, BCRP, MATE1, OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 may result in increased plasma concentrations of such drugs, which could increase or prolong their therapeutic effect and can be associated with adverse events. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED with drugs that have active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A may result in reduced plasma concentrations of these active metabolite(s), potentially leading to loss of their therapeutic effect (see Table 2 ). 7.2 Potential for Other …
Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Severe skin reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Effects on serum creatinine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] New onset or worsening renal impairment when used with tenofovir DF [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Immune Reconstitution Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] The most common adverse reactions to darunavir, a component of PREZCOBIX or PREZCOBIX PED (incidence greater than or equal to 5%) of at least moderate severity (greater than or equal to Grade 2) were diarrhea, nausea, rash, headache, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
