HIV/AIDS Update - Prezista (darunavir) tablet and oral suspension: pediatric dosing

FDA HIV/AIDS List Serve Image

On February 1, 2013, FDA approved revisions to the Prezista (darunavir) tablet and oral suspension label to include once daily dosing in treatment-naïve subjects 3 to less than 18 years of age and once daily dosing in treatment-experienced subjects 3 to less than 18 years of age with no darunavir resistance associated substitutions. Below is a summary of the major changes to the label

1 Indications and Usage  1.2 Pediatric Patients
The indication for treatment‑experienced pediatric patients 3 to less than 18 years of age is based on 24-week analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from two open-label Phase 2 trials in antiretroviral treatment‑experienced pediatric subjects. The indication for treatment‑naïve pediatric patients or antiretroviral treatment‑experienced patients with no darunavir resistance associated substitutions is based on one open-label Phase 2 trial of 48 weeks duration in antiretroviral treatment-naïve subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age and pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation for patients 3 to less than 12 years of age.
2 Dosage and Administration subsection: 2.2 Pediatric Patients (age 3 to less than 18 years)

6 Adverse Reactions: subsection 6.5 Clinical Trials Experience: Pediatric Patients
PREZISTA/ritonavir has been studied in combination with other antiretroviral agents in 3 Phase II trials. TMC114-C212, in which 80 antiretroviral treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects 6 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 20 kg were included, TMC114-C228, in which 21 antiretroviral treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects 3 to less than 6 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg were included, and TMC114-C230 in which 12 antiretroviral treatment‑naïve HIV‑1 infected pediatric patients aged from 12 to less than 18 years and weighing at least 40 kg were included. The TMC114-C212 and C228 trials evaluated PREZISTA/ritonavir twice daily dosing and the TMC114-C230 trial evaluated PREZISTA/ritonavir once daily dosing.

Study TMC114-C230
ADRs to PREZISTA/ritonavir (all grades, greater than or equal to 3%), excluding laboratory abnormalities reported as ADRs, were vomiting (33%), nausea (25%), diarrhea (16.7%), abdominal pain (8.3%), decreased appetite (8.3%), prurirtus (8.3%), and rash (8.3%). 
 There were no Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities considered as ADRs in this study. 

8.4 Pediatric Use
In clinical trial TMC114-C230, the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and virologic and immunologic responses of PREZISTA/ritonavir administered once daily were evaluated in treatment‑naïve HIV‑1 infected pediatric subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age (12 subjects) [see Adverse Reactions (6.5), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14.4)]. Frequency, type, and severity of adverse drug reactions in pediatric subjects were comparable to those observed in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. Once daily dosing recommendations for pediatric patients 3 to less than 12 years of age were derived using population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation. Although a PREZISTA/ritonavir once daily dosing pediatric trial was not conducted in children less than 12 years of age, there is sufficient clinical safety data to support the predicted PREZISTA exposures for the dosing recommendations in this age group [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Please see Dosage and Administration (2.2) for once-daily dosing recommendations for pediatric subjects 3 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg. 

12.3 Pharmacokinetics: Pediatric Patients
PREZISTA/ritonavir administered once daily:
The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir in 12 antiretroviral treatment‑naïve HIV-1-infected pediatric subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 40 kg receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily resulted in similar darunavir exposures when compared to the darunavir exposure achieved in treatment‑naive adults receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily. [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 

Based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation, the proposed PREZISTA/ritonavir once daily dosing regimens for pediatric patients 3 to less than 12 years of age is predicted to result in similar darunavir exposures when compared to the darunavir exposures achieved in treatment‑naïve adults receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily

14 Clinical Studies
Study TMC114-C230
Treatment-naïve pediatric subjects between the ages of 12 and less than 18 years and weighing at least 40 kg received the adult recommended dose of PREZISTA/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily plus background therapy consisting of at least two non-protease inhibitor antiretroviral drugs.
The 12 randomized pediatric subjects had a median age of 14.4 years (range 12.6 to 17.3 years), and were 33.3% male, 58.3% Caucasian and 41.7% Black. The mean baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.72 log10 copies/mL, and the median baseline CD4+ cell count was 282 cells/mm3 (range: 204 to 515 cells/mm3). Overall, 41.7% of pediatric subjects had baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA ³ 100,000 copies/mL.
All subjects completed the 48 week treatment period.

The proportion of subjects with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL and less than 400 copies/mL was 83.3% and 91.7%, respectively. The mean change in CD4+ cell count from baseline was 221 x 106 cells/L.
The revised label will be available soon on Drugs@FDA.
