Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. ( 2.1 ) • Maraviroc tablets are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. Maraviroc tablets must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. ( 2.2 ) Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients: ( 2.3 ) Concomitant Medications Dosage of Maraviroc tablets When given with potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors (with or without potent CYP3A inducers) including PIs (except tipranavir/ritonavir) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 150 mg twice daily With NRTIs, tipranavir/ritonavir, nevirapine, raltegravir, and other drugs that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 300 mg twice daily With potent and moderate CYP3A inducers including efavirenz (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 600 mg twice daily A more complete list of coadministered drugs is listed in Dosage and Administration. ( 2 ) Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients 2 years and older and weighing at Least 10 kg: Administer twice daily. Dosage should be based on body weight (kg) and concomitant medications and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. ( 2.4 ) Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment may be necessary in adult patients with renal impairment. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Testing prior to Initiation of Maraviroc Tablets Prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. Maraviroc tablets are recommended for patients with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. Outgrowth of pre-existing low-level CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 not detected by tropism testing at screening has been associated with virologic failure on maraviroc tablets [ see Microbiology ( 12.4 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ]. Monitor patients for ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiation of maraviroc tablets and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . 2.2 General Dosing Recommendations • Maraviroc tablets are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. • Maraviroc tablets must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. • The recommended dosage of maraviroc tablets differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions. 2.3 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients with Normal Renal Function Table 1 displays oral dosage of maraviroc tablets based on different concomitant medications [ see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ) ].

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hepatotoxicity accompanied by severe rash or systemic allergic reaction, including potentially life-threatening events, has been reported. Hepatic laboratory parameters including ALT, AST, and bilirubin should be obtained prior to starting maraviroc tablets and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. If rash or symptoms or signs of hepatitis or allergic reaction develop, hepatic laboratory parameters should be monitored and discontinuation of treatment should be considered. When administering maraviroc tablets to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.1 ) • Severe and potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking maraviroc. This includes cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hypersensitivity reaction, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Immediately discontinue maraviroc and other suspected agents if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop and monitor clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, closely. ( 5.2 ) • More cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, were observed in treatment-experienced subjects who received maraviroc. Additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.3 ) • If patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD receiving maraviroc (without concomitant CYP3A inducers or inhibitors) experience postural hypotension, the dose of maraviroc should be reduced from 300 mg twice daily to 150 mg twice daily. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity with allergic features including life-threatening events has been reported in clinical trials and postmarketing. Severe rash or evidence of systemic allergic reaction including drug-related rash with fever, eosinophilia, elevated IgE, or other systemic symptoms have been reported in conjunction with hepatotoxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ]. These events occurred approximately 1 month after starting treatment. Among reported cases of hepatitis, some were observed in the absence of allergic features or with no pre-existing hepatic disease. Appropriate laboratory testing including ALT, AST, and bilirubin should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with maraviroc and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. Hepatic laboratory parameters should be obtained in any patient who develops rash, or signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or allergic reaction. Discontinuation of maraviroc should be considered in any patient with signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or with increased liver transaminases combined with rash or other systemic symptoms. When administering maraviroc to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. The safety and efficacy of maraviroc have not been specifically studied in patients with significant underlying liver disorders. 5.2 Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe, potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking maraviroc, in most cases concomitantly with other drugs associated with these reactions. These include cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) [ see Adverse Reactions (6.3) ]. The cases were characterized by features including rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including hepatic failure. Discontinue maraviroc and other suspected agents immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop (including, but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, malaise, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, facial edema, lip swelling, eosinophilia). Delay in stopping treatment with maraviroc or other suspect drugs after the onset of rash may result in a life-threatening reaction. Clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. 5.3 Cardiovascular Events Eleven subjects (1.3%) who received maraviroc had cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, during the Phase 3 trials in treatment-experienced subjects (total exposure 609 patient-years [300 on maraviroc once daily + 309 on maraviroc twice daily]), while no subjects who received placebo had such events (total exposure 111 patient-years). These subjects generally had cardiac disease or cardiac risk factors prior to use of maraviroc, and the relative contribution of maraviroc to these events is not known. In the Phase 2b/3 trial in treatment-naive adult subjects, 3 subjects (0.8%) who received maraviroc had events related to ischemic heart disease and 5 subjects (1.4%) who received efavirenz had such events (total exposure 506 and 508 patient-years for maraviroc and efavirenz, respectively). When maraviroc was administered to healthy volunteers at doses higher than the recommended dose, symptomatic postural hypotension was seen at a greater frequency than in placebo. However, when maraviroc was given at the recommended dose in HIV-1-infected adult subjects in Phase 3 trials, postural hypotension was seen at a rate similar to placebo (approximately 0.5%). Patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, risk factors for postural hypotension, or receiving concomitant medication known to lower blood pressure, could be at increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events triggered by postural hypotension. Additional monitoring may be warranted. Postural Hypotension in Patients with Renal Impairment An increased risk of postural hypotension may occur in patients with severe renal insufficiency or in those with ESRD due to increased maraviroc exposure in some patients. Maraviroc should be used in patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD only if they are not receiving a concomitant potent CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. However, the use of maraviroc in these patients should only be considered when no alternative treatment options are available. If adult patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD experience any symptoms of postural hypotension while taking 300 mg twice daily, the dose should be reduced to 150 mg twice daily [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ) ]. 5.4 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including maraviroc. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune systems respond may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as infection with Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP], tuberculosis, or reactivation of Herpes simplex and Herpes zoster ), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré 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. 5.5 Potential Risk of Infection Maraviroc antagonizes the CCR5 co-receptor located on some immune cells, and therefore could potentially increase the risk of developing infections. The overall incidence and severity of infection, as well as AIDS-defining category C infections, were comparable in the treatment groups during the Phase 3 adult treatment-experienced trials of maraviroc. While there was a higher rate of certain upper respiratory tract infections reported in the treatment arm receiving maraviroc compared with placebo (23% versus 13%), there was a lower rate of pneumonia (2% versus 5%) reported in subjects receiving maraviroc. A higher incidence of Herpes virus infections (11 per 100 patient-years) was
