4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Genvoya is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection withoutany known mutations associated with resistance to the integrase inhibitor class, emtricitabine ortenofovir in adults and paediatric patients aged from 2 years and with body weight at least 14 kg.
See sections 4.2 and 5.1.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the management of HIV infection.
PosologyAdults and paediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg
One 150 mg/150 mg/200 mg/10 mg tablet to be taken once daily with food.
Paediatric patients aged 2 years and older, weighing at least 14 kg to less than 25 kg
One 90 mg/90 mg/120 mg/6 mg tablet to be taken once daily with food.
If the patient misses a dose of Genvoya within 18 hours of the time it is usually taken, the patientshould take Genvoya with food as soon as possible and resume the normal dosing schedule. If apatient misses a dose of Genvoya by more than 18 hours, the patient should not take the missed doseand simply resume the usual dosing schedule.
If the patient vomits within 1 hour of taking Genvoya another tablet should be taken.
Special populationsElderlyNo dose adjustment of Genvoya is required in elderly patients (see sections 5.1 and 5.2).
Renal impairmentNo dose adjustment of Genvoya is required in adults or adolescents (aged at least 12 years and of atleast 35 kg body weight) with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min. Genvoya should bediscontinued in patients with estimated CrCl that declines below 30 mL/min during treatment (seesection 5.2).
No dose adjustment of Genvoya is required in adults with end stage renal disease (estimated
CrCl < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis; however, Genvoya should generally be avoided butmay be used in these patients if the potential benefits are considered to outweigh the potential risks(see sections 4.4 and 5.2). On days of haemodialysis, Genvoya should be administered aftercompletion of haemodialysis treatment.
Genvoya should be avoided in patients with estimated CrCl ≥ 15 mL/min and < 30 mL/min, or< 15 mL/min who are not on chronic haemodialysis, as the safety of Genvoya has not been establishedin these populations.
No data are available to make dose recommendations in children aged less than 12 years with renalimpairment or in children less than 18 years with end stage renal disease.
Hepatic impairmentNo dose adjustment of Genvoya is required in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate(Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. Genvoya has not been studied in patients with severehepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C); therefore, Genvoya is not recommended for use in patientswith severe hepatic impairment (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
Paediatric populationThe safety and efficacy of Genvoya in children younger than 2 years of age, or weighing < 14 kg, havenot yet been established. No data are available.
Method of administrationGenvoya should be taken orally, once daily with food (see section 5.2). Due to the bitter taste, it isrecommended that the film-coated tablet not be chewed or crushed. For patients who are unable toswallow the tablet whole, the tablet may be split in half and both halves taken one after the other,ensuring that the full dose is taken immediately.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Co-administration with medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and forwhich elevated plasma concentrations are associated with serious or life-threatening adverse reactions.
Therefore, Genvoya should not be co-administered with medicinal products that include, but are notlimited to, the following (see sections 4.4 and 4.5):
* alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonists: alfuzosin
* antiarrhythmics: amiodarone, quinidine
* ergot derivatives: dihydroergotamine, ergometrine, ergotamine
* gastrointestinal motility agents: cisapride
* HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors: lovastatin, simvastatin
* lipid-modifying agent: lomitapide
* neuroleptics/antipsychotics: pimozide, lurasidone
* PDE-5 inhibitors: sildenafil for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
* sedatives/hypnotics: orally administered midazolam, triazolam
Co-administration with medicinal products that are strong inducers of CYP3A due to the potential forloss of virologic response and possible resistance to Genvoya. Therefore, Genvoya should not beco-administered with medicinal products that include, but are not limited to, the following (seesections 4.4 and 4.5):
* anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin
* antimycobacterials: rifampicin
* herbal products: St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum)
Co-administration with dabigatran etexilate, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate (see section 4.5).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Patients co-infected with HIV and hepatitis B or C virusPatients with chronic hepatitis B or C treated with antiretroviral therapy are at an increased risk forsevere and potentially fatal hepatic adverse reactions.
The safety and efficacy of Genvoya in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus (HCV)have not been established.
Tenofovir alafenamide is active against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Discontinuation of Genvoya therapyin patients co-infected with HIV and HBV may be associated with severe acute exacerbations ofhepatitis. Patients co-infected with HIV and HBV who discontinue Genvoya should be closelymonitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stoppingtreatment.
Liver diseaseThe safety and efficacy of Genvoya in patients with significant underlying liver disorders have notbeen established.
Patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction, including chronic active hepatitis, have an increasedfrequency of liver function abnormalities during combination antiretroviral therapy (CART) andshould be monitored according to standard practice. If there is evidence of worsening liver disease insuch patients, interruption or discontinuation of treatment must be considered.
Weight and metabolic parametersAn increase in weight and in levels of blood lipids and glucose may occur during antiretroviraltherapy. Such changes may in part be linked to disease control and life-style. For lipids, there is insome cases, evidence for a treatment effect, while for weight gain there is no strong evidence relatingthis to any particular treatment. For monitoring of blood lipids and glucose reference is made toestablished HIV treatment guidelines. Lipid disorders should be managed as clinically appropriate.
Mitochondrial dysfunction following exposure in uteroNucleos(t)ide analogues may impact mitochondrial function to a variable degree, which is mostpronounced with stavudine, didanosine and zidovudine. There have been reports of mitochondrialdysfunction in HIV negative infants exposed in utero and/or postnatally to nucleoside analogues; thesehave predominantly concerned treatment with regimens containing zidovudine. The main adversereactions reported are haematological disorders (anaemia, neutropenia) and metabolic disorders(hyperlactataemia, hyperlipasaemia). These events have often been transitory. Late onsetneurological disorders have been reported rarely (hypertonia, convulsion, abnormal behaviour).
Whether such neurological disorders are transient or permanent is currently unknown. These findingsshould be considered for any child exposed in utero to nucleos(t)ide analogues, who present withsevere clinical findings of unknown aetiology, particularly neurologic findings. These findings do notaffect current national recommendations to use antiretroviral therapy in pregnant women to preventvertical transmission of HIV.
Immune Reactivation SyndromeIn HIV infected patients with severe immune deficiency at the time of institution of CART, aninflammatory reaction to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic pathogens may arise and causeserious clinical conditions, or aggravation of symptoms. Typically, such reactions have been observedwithin the first few weeks or months of initiation of CART. Relevant examples includecytomegalovirus retinitis, generalised and/or focal mycobacterial infections, and Pneumocystisjirovecii pneumonia. Any inflammatory symptoms should be evaluated and treatment instituted whennecessary.
Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported tooccur in the setting of immune reactivation; however, the reported time to onset is more variable, andthese events can occur many months after initiation of treatment.
Opportunistic infectionsPatients receiving Genvoya or any other antiretroviral therapy may continue to develop opportunisticinfections and other complications of HIV infection, and therefore should remain under close clinicalobservation by physicians experienced in the treatment of patients with HIV associated diseases.
OsteonecrosisAlthough the aetiology is considered to be multifactorial (including corticosteroid use, alcoholconsumption, severe immunosuppression, higher body mass index), cases of osteonecrosis have beenreported particularly in patients with advanced HIV disease and/or long-term exposure to CART.
Patients should be advised to seek medical advice if they experience joint aches and pain, jointstiffness or difficulty in movement.
NephrotoxicityPost-marketing cases of renal impairment, including acute renal failure and proximal renaltubulopathy have been reported with tenofovir alafenamide-containing products. A potential risk ofnephrotoxicity resulting from chronic exposure to low levels of tenofovir due to dosing with tenofoviralafenamide cannot be excluded (see section 5.3).
It is recommended that renal function is assessed in all patients prior to, or when initiating, therapywith Genvoya and that it is also monitored during therapy in all patients as clinically appropriate. Inpatients who develop clinically significant decreases in renal function, or evidence of proximal renaltubulopathy, discontinuation of Genvoya should be considered.
Patients with end stage renal disease on chronic haemodialysisGenvoya should generally be avoided but may be used in adults with end stage renal disease(estimated CrCl < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis if the potential benefits outweigh thepotential risks (see section 4.2). In a study of Genvoya in HIV-1 infected adults with end stage renaldisease (estimated CrCl < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis, efficacy was maintained through48 weeks but emtricitabine exposure was significantly higher than in patients with normal renalfunction. Although there were no new safety issues identified, the implications of increasedemtricitabine exposure remain uncertain (see sections 4.8 and 5.2).
Co-administration of other medicinal productsSome medicinal products should not be co-administered with Genvoya (see sections 4.3 and 4.5).
Genvoya should not be co-administered with other antiretroviral medicinal products (see section 4.5).
Genvoya should not be administered concomitantly with medicinal products containing tenofoviralafenamide, tenofovir disoproxil, lamivudine or adefovir dipivoxil used for the treatment of
HBV infection (see section 4.5).
Contraception requirementsFemale patients of childbearing potential should use either a hormonal contraceptive containing atleast 30 µg ethinyloestradiol and containing drospirenone or norgestimate as the progestogen or shoulduse an alternative reliable method of contraception (see sections 4.5 and 4.6). The use of Genvoyawith oral contraceptives containing other progestogens should be avoided (see section 4.5). Plasmaconcentrations of drospirenone are expected to be increased following co-administration with
Genvoya and clinical monitoring is recommended due to the potential for hyperkalaemia (seesection 4.5).
PregnancyTreatment with cobicistat and elvitegravir during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy hasbeen shown to result in lower elvitegravir exposures (see section 5.2). Cobicistat levels decrease andmay not provide sufficient boosting. The substantial reduction in elvitegravir exposure may result invirological failure and an increased risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection. Therefore,therapy with Genvoya should not be initiated during pregnancy, and women who become pregnantduring therapy with Genvoya should be switched to an alternative regimen (see section 4.6).
Paediatric populationReductions in BMD (≥ 4%) of the spine and total-body-less-head (TBLH) have been reported inpatients aged between 3 to < 12 years receiving Genvoya for 48 weeks in study GS-US-292-0106 (seesections 4.8 and 5.1). The long-term effects of changes in BMD on the growing bone, including therisk of fracture, are uncertain. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended to decide the appropriatemonitoring during treatment.
ExcipientsGenvoya contains lactose monohydrate. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactoseintolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinalproduct.
This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially‘sodium-free’.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Genvoya should not be co-administered with other antiretroviral medicinal products. Therefore,information regarding drug-drug interactions with other antiretroviral products (including proteaseinhibitors [PIs] and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NNRTIs]) is not provided (seesection 4.4). Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.
Genvoya should not be administered concomitantly with medicinal products containing tenofoviralafenamide, tenofovir disoproxil, lamivudine or adefovir dipivoxil used for the treatment of
HBV infection.
ElvitegravirElvitegravir is primarily metabolised by CYP3A, and medicinal products that induce or inhibit
CYP3A may affect the exposure of elvitegravir. Co-administration of Genvoya with medicinalproducts that induce CYP3A may result in decreased plasma concentrations of elvitegravir andreduced therapeutic effect of Genvoya (see “Concomitant use contraindicated” and section 4.3).
Elvitegravir may have the potential to induce CYP2C9 and/or inducible uridine diphosphateglucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes; as such it may decrease the plasma concentration ofsubstrates of these enzymes.
CobicistatCobicistat is a strong mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP3A and is also a CYP3A substrate. Cobicistatis also a weak CYP2D6 inhibitor and is metabolised, to a minor extent, by CYP2D6. Medicinalproducts that inhibit CYP3A may decrease the clearance of cobicistat, resulting in increased plasmaconcentrations of cobicistat. Medicinal products that have active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3Amay result in reduced plasma concentrations of these active metabolite(s).
Medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A metabolism and have high first passmetabolism are the most susceptible to large increases in exposure when co-administered withcobicistat (see “Concomitant use contraindicated” and section 4.3).
Cobicistat is an inhibitor of the following transporters: P-gp, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP),organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3. Co-administration withmedicinal products that are substrates of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 may result inincreased plasma concentrations of these products.
EmtricitabineIn vitro and clinical pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction studies have shown that the potential for
CYP-mediated interactions involving emtricitabine with other medicinal products is low.
Co-administration of emtricitabine with medicinal products that are eliminated by active tubularsecretion may increase concentrations of emtricitabine, and/or the co-administered medicinal product.
Medicinal products that decrease renal function may increase concentrations of emtricitabine.
Tenofovir alafenamideTenofovir alafenamide is transported by P-gp and BCRP. Medicinal products that strongly affect P-gpand BCRP activity may lead to changes in tenofovir alafenamide absorption. However, uponco-administration with cobicistat in Genvoya, near maximal inhibition of P-gp by cobicistat isachieved leading to increased availability of tenofovir alafenamide with resulting exposurescomparable to tenofovir alafenamide 25 mg administered alone. As such, tenofovir alafenamideexposures following administration of Genvoya are not expected to be further increased when used incombination with another P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitor (e.g., ketoconazole). Based on data from anin vitro study, co-administration of tenofovir alafenamide and xanthine oxidase inhibitors (e.g.,febuxostat) is not expected to increase systemic exposure to tenofovir in vivo. In vitro and clinicalpharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction studies have shown that the potential for CYP-mediatedinteractions involving tenofovir alafenamide with other medicinal products is low. Tenofoviralafenamide is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6.
Tenofovir alafenamide is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A in vivo. Tenofovir alafenamide is asubstrate of OATP in vitro. Inhibitors of OATP and BCRP include ciclosporin.
Concomitant use contraindicatedCo-administration of Genvoya and some medicinal products that are primarily metabolised by CYP3Amay result in increased plasma concentrations of these products, which are associated with thepotential for serious or life-threatening adverse reactions such as peripheral vasospasm or ischaemia(e.g., dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, ergometrine), or myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis (e.g.,simvastatin, lovastatin), or prolonged or increased sedation or respiratory depression (e.g., orallyadministered midazolam or triazolam). Co-administration of Genvoya and other medicinal productsprimarily metabolised by CYP3A such as amiodarone, lomitapide, quinidine, cisapride, pimozide,lurasidone, alfuzosin and sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension is contraindicated (seesection 4.3).
Co-administration of Genvoya and some medicinal products that induce CYP3A such as St. John’swort (Hypericum perforatum), rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin may result insignificantly decreased cobicistat and elvitegravir plasma concentrations, which may result in loss oftherapeutic effect and development of resistance (see section 4.3).
Other interactionsCobicistat and tenofovir alafenamide are not inhibitors of human UGT1A1 in vitro. It is not knownwhether cobicistat, emtricitabine, or tenofovir alafenamide are inhibitors of other UGT enzymes.
Interactions between the components of Genvoya and potential co-administered medicinal productsare listed in Table 1 below (increase is indicated as “↑”, decrease as “↓”, no change as “↔”). Theinteractions described are based on studies conducted with Genvoya, or the components of Genvoya(elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide), as individual agents and/or incombination, or are potential drug-drug interactions that may occur with Genvoya.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of childbearing potential/contraception in males and females
The use of Genvoya should be accompanied by the use of effective contraception (see sections 4.4and 4.5).
PregnancyThere are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Genvoya or its components in pregnant women.
There are no or limited data (less than 300 pregnancy outcomes) from the use of Genvoya in pregnantwomen. However, a large amount of data on pregnant women (more than 1,000 exposed outcomes)indicate no malformative nor foetal/neonatal toxicity associated with emtricitabine.
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects of elvitegravir, cobicistat, oremtricitabine, administered separately, with respect to fertility parameters, pregnancy, foetaldevelopment, parturition or postnatal development. Studies of tenofovir alafenamide in animals haveshown no evidence of harmful effects of tenofovir alafenamide on fertility parameters, pregnancy, orfoetal development (see section 5.3).
Treatment with cobicistat and elvitegravir during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy hasbeen shown to result in lower elvitegravir exposures (see section 5.2). Cobicistat levels decrease andmay not provide sufficient boosting. The substantial reduction in elvitegravir exposure may result invirological failure and an increased risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection. Therefore,therapy with Genvoya should not be initiated during pregnancy, and women who become pregnantduring therapy with Genvoya should be switched to an alternative regimen (see section 4.4).
Breast-feedingIt is not known whether elvitegravir, cobicistat, or tenofovir alafenamide are excreted in human milk.
Emtricitabine is excreted in human milk. In animal studies it has been shown that elvitegravir,cobicistat, and tenofovir are excreted in milk.
There is insufficient information on the effects of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovirin newborns/infants. Therefore, Genvoya should not be used during breast-feeding.
In order to avoid transmission of HIV to the infant it is recommended that women living with HIV donot breast-feed their infants.
FertilityThere are no data on fertility from the use of Genvoya in humans. In animal studies there were noeffects of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide on mating or fertilityparameters (see section 5.3).
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Genvoya may have minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Patients should beinformed that dizziness has been reported during treatment with Genvoya.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profileAssessment of adverse reactions is based on safety data from across all Phase 2 and 3 studies with
Genvoya and from post-marketing experience. The most frequently reported adverse reactions inclinical studies through 144 weeks were nausea (11%), diarrhoea (7%), and headache (6%).
Tabulated summary of adverse reactionsThe adverse reactions in Table 2 are listed by system organ class and frequency. Frequencies aredefined as follows: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10) and uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to< 1/100).
Table 2: Tabulated list of adverse reactions
Frequency Adverse reaction
Blood and lymphatic system disordersUncommon: anaemia1
Psychiatric disordersCommon: abnormal dreams
Uncommon: suicidal ideation and suicide attempt (in patients with a pre-existing history ofdepression or psychiatric illness), depression2
Nervous system disordersCommon: headache, dizziness
Gastrointestinal disordersVery common: nausea
Common: diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flatulence
Uncommon: dyspepsia
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disordersCommon: rash
Uncommon: angioedema3,4, pruritus, urticaria4
General disorders and administration site conditionsCommon: fatigue1 This adverse reaction was not observed in the Phase 3 clinical studies for Genvoya but identified from clinical studies orpost-marketing experience for emtricitabine when used with other antiretrovirals.2 This adverse reaction was not observed in the Phase 3 clinical studies for Genvoya but identified from clinical studies forelvitegravir when used with other antiretrovirals.3 This adverse reaction was identified through post-marketing surveillance for emtricitabine-containing products.4 This adverse reaction was identified through post-marketing surveillance for tenofovir alafenamide-containing products.
Description of selected adverse reactionsMetabolic parametersWeight and levels of blood lipids and glucose may increase during antiretroviral therapy (seesection 4.4).
Immune Reactivation SyndromeIn HIV infected patients with severe immune deficiency at the time of initiation of CART, aninflammatory reaction to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic infections may arise. Autoimmunedisorders (such as Graves’ disease and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported; however, thereported time to onset is more variable, and these events can occur many months after initiation oftreatment (see section 4.4).
OsteonecrosisCases of osteonecrosis have been reported, particularly in patients with generally acknowledged riskfactors, advanced HIV disease or long-term exposure to CART. The frequency of this is unknown(see section 4.4).
Changes in serum creatinineCobicistat increases serum creatinine due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine withoutaffecting renal glomerular function. In clinical studies of Genvoya, increases in serum creatinineoccurred by Week 2 of treatment and remained stable through 144 weeks. In treatment-naïve patients,a mean change from baseline of 0.04 ± 0.12 mg/dL (3.5 ± 10.6 µmol/L) was observed after 144 weeksof treatment. Mean increases from baseline in the Genvoya group were smaller than in the elvitegravir150 mg/cobicistat 150 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil (as fumarate) 245 mg(E/C/F/TDF) group at Week 144 (difference -0.04, p < 0.001).
Changes in lipid laboratory testsIn studies in treatment-naïve patients, increases from baseline were observed in both treatment groupsfor the fasting lipid parameters total cholesterol, direct low-density lipoprotein (LDL)- andhigh-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, and triglycerides at Week 144. The median increase frombaseline for those parameters was greater in the Genvoya group compared with the E/C/F/TDF groupat Week 144 (p < 0.001 for the difference between treatment groups for fasting total cholesterol, direct
LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides). The median (Q1, Q3) change from baseline in totalcholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio at Week 144 was 0.2 (-0.3, 0.7) in the Genvoya group and 0.1(-0.4, 0.6) in the E/C/F/TDF group (p = 0.006 for the difference between treatment groups).
Paediatric populationThe safety of Genvoya was evaluated through 48 weeks in HIV-1 infected adolescent patients aged 12to < 18 years weighing ≥ 35 kg (n = 100), in children aged 7 to < 12 years weighing > 25 kg (n = 52),and in children aged 3 to 9 years and weighing ≥ 14 to < 25 kg (n = 27). The safety profile inpaediatric patients who received treatment with Genvoya was similar to that in adults. After 48 weeksof treatment with Genvoya, reductions in BMD of the spine and of the TBLH ≥ 4% have beenreported in 2.1% (1/47) and 0.0% of adolescents, in 12.2% (6/49) and 3.9% (2/51) of children aged 7to < 12 years weighing at least 25 kg, and in 3.7% (1/27) and 0.0% of children aged at least 3 yearsand weighing at least 14 kg to < 25 kg respectively.
Other special populationsPatients with renal impairmentThe safety of Genvoya in 248 HIV-1 infected patients who were either treatment-naïve (n = 6) orvirologically suppressed (n = 242) with mild to moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerularfiltration rate by Cockcroft-Gault method [eGFRCG]: 30-69 mL/min) was evaluated through 144 weeksin an open-label clinical study (GS-US-292-0112). The safety profile of Genvoya in patients withmild to moderate renal impairment was similar to that in patients with normal renal function (seesection 5.1).
The safety of Genvoya in 55 virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected patients with end stage renaldisease (eGFRCG < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis was evaluated through 48 weeks in a singlearm, open-label clinical study (GS-US-292-1825). There were no new safety issues identified inpatients with end stage renal disease on chronic haemodialysis receiving Genvoya (see section 5.2).
Patients co-infected with HIV and HBVThe safety of Genvoya was evaluated in 72 HIV/HBV co-infected patients receiving treatment for
HIV in an open-label clinical study (GS-US-292-1249), through Week 48, in which patients wereswitched from another antiretroviral regimen (which included tenofovir disoproxil in 69 of72 patients) to Genvoya. Based on these limited data, the safety profile of Genvoya in patients with
HIV/HBV co-infection was similar to that in patients with HIV-1 monoinfection.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactionsReporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. Itallows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcareprofessionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting systemlisted in Appendix V.
4.9 Overdose
If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity (see section 4.8). Treatmentof overdose with Genvoya consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signsas well as observation of the clinical status of the patient.
As elvitegravir and cobicistat are highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that they would besignificantly removed by haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Emtricitabine can be removed byhaemodialysis, which removes approximately 30% of the emtricitabine dose over a 3 hour dialysisperiod starting within 1.5 hours of emtricitabine dosing. Tenofovir is efficiently removed byhaemodialysis with an extraction coefficient of approximately 54%. It is not known whetheremtricitabine or tenofovir can be removed by peritoneal dialysis.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antivirals for systemic use; antivirals for treatment of HIV infections,combinations. ATC code: J05AR18.
Mechanism of actionElvitegravir is an HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). Integrase is an HIV-1 encodedenzyme that is required for viral replication. Inhibition of integrase prevents the integration of HIV-1deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into host genomic DNA, blocking the formation of the HIV-1 provirusand propagation of the viral infection.
Cobicistat is a selective, mechanism-based inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes of the
CYP3A subfamily. Inhibition of CYP3A-mediated metabolism by cobicistat enhances the systemicexposure of CYP3A substrates, such as elvitegravir, where bioavailability is limited and half-life isshortened by CYP3A-dependent metabolism.
Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and nucleoside analogue of2’-deoxycytidine. Emtricitabine is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to form emtricitabinetriphosphate. Emtricitabine triphosphate inhibits HIV replication through incorporation into viral
DNA by the HIV reverse transcriptase (RT), which results in DNA chain-termination. Emtricitabinehas activity against HIV-1, HIV-2, and HBV.
Tenofovir alafenamide is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI) and phosphonamidateprodrug of tenofovir (2’-deoxyadenosine monophosphate analogue). Tenofovir alafenamide ispermeable into cells and due to increased plasma stability and intracellular activation throughhydrolysis by cathepsin A, tenofovir alafenamide is more efficient than tenofovir disoproxil inconcentrating tenofovir in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (including lymphocytes andother HIV target cells) and macrophages. Intracellular tenofovir is subsequently phosphorylated to thepharmacologically active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits
HIV replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the HIV RT, which results in DNAchain-termination. Tenofovir has activity against HIV-1, HIV-2, and HBV.
Antiviral activity in vitroElvitegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide demonstrated synergistic antiviral activity incell culture. Antiviral synergy was maintained for elvitegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofoviralafenamide when tested in the presence of cobicistat.
The antiviral activity of elvitegravir against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1 was assessed inlymphoblastoid cells, monocyte/macrophage cells, and peripheral blood lymphocytes and the50% effective concentration (EC50) values were in the range of 0.02 to 1.7 nM. Elvitegravir displayedantiviral activity in cell culture against HIV-1 clades A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and O (EC50 values rangedfrom 0.1 to 1.3 nM) and activity against HIV-2 (EC50 of 0.53 nM).
Cobicistat has no detectable antiviral activity against HIV-1 and does not antagonise the antiviraleffects of elvitegravir, emtricitabine, or tenofovir.
The antiviral activity of emtricitabine against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1 was assessed inlymphoblastoid cell lines, the MAGI CCR5 cell line, and PBMCs. The EC50 values for emtricitabinewere in the range of 0.0013 to 0.64 µM. Emtricitabine displayed antiviral activity in cell cultureagainst HIV-1 clades A, B, C, D, E, F, and G (EC50 values ranged from 0.007 to 0.075 µM) andshowed strain specific activity against HIV-2 (EC50 values ranged from 0.007 to 1.5 µM).
The antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1subtype B was assessed in lymphoblastoid cell lines, PBMCs, primary monocyte/macrophage cellsand CD4+-T lymphocytes. The EC50 values for tenofovir alafenamide were in the range of 2.0 to14.7 nM. Tenofovir alafenamide displayed antiviral activity in cell culture against all HIV-1 groups(M, N, and O), including subtypes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G (EC50 values ranged from 0.10 to 12.0 nM)and showed strain specific activity against HIV-2 (EC50 values ranged from 0.91 to 2.63 nM).
ResistanceIn vitro
Reduced susceptibility to elvitegravir is most commonly associated with the primary integrasemutations T66I, E92Q, and Q148R. Additional integrase mutations observed in cell culture selectionincluded H51Y, F121Y, S147G, S153Y, E157Q, and R263K. HIV-1 with the raltegravir-selectedsubstitutions T66A/K, Q148H/K, and N155H showed cross-resistance to elvitegravir.
No in vitro resistance can be demonstrated with cobicistat due to its lack of antiviral activity.
Reduced susceptibility to emtricitabine is associated with M184V/I mutations in HIV-1 RT.
HIV-1 isolates with reduced susceptibility to tenofovir alafenamide express a K65R mutation in
HIV-1 RT; in addition, a K70E mutation in HIV-1 RT has been transiently observed. HIV-1 isolateswith the K65R mutation have low-level reduced susceptibility to abacavir, emtricitabine, tenofovir,and lamivudine.
In treatment-naïve patientsIn a pooled analysis, genotyping was performed on plasma HIV-1 isolates from antiretroviral-naïvepatients receiving Genvoya in Phase 3 studies GS-US-292-0104 and GS-US-292-0111 with
HIV-1 RNA ≥ 400 copies/mL at confirmed virologic failure, Week 144, or time of early study drugdiscontinuation. Up to Week 144, the development of one or more primary elvitegravir, emtricitabine,or tenofovir alafenamide resistance-associated mutations was observed in HIV-1 isolates from 12 of22 patients with evaluable genotypic data from paired baseline and Genvoya treatment-failure isolates(12 of 866 patients [1.4%]) compared with 12 of 20 treatment-failure isolates from patients withevaluable genotypic data in the E/C/F/TDF treatment group (12 of 867 patients [1.4%]). Of the
HIV-1 isolates from 12 patients with resistance development in the Genvoya group, the mutations thatemerged were M184V/I (n = 11) and K65R/N (n = 2) in RT and T66T/A/I/V (n = 2), E92Q (n = 4),
Q148Q/R (n = 1) and N155H (n = 2) in integrase. Of the HIV-1 isolates from 12 patients withresistance development in the E/C/F/TDF group, the mutations that emerged were M184V/I (n = 9),
K65R/N (n = 4), and L210W (n = 1) in RT and E92Q/V (n = 4), and Q148R (n = 2), and N155H/S(n = 3) in integrase. Most HIV-1 isolates from patients in both treatment groups who developedresistance mutations to elvitegravir developed resistance mutations to both emtricitabine andelvitegravir.
In phenotypic analyses of patients in the final resistance analysis population, 7 of 22 patients (32%)had HIV-1 isolates with reduced susceptibility to elvitegravir in the Genvoya group compared with
HIV-1 isolates from 7 of 20 patients (35%) in the E/C/F/TDF group, HIV-1 isolates from 8 patients(36%) had reduced susceptibility to emtricitabine in the Genvoya group compared with HIV-1 isolatesfrom 7 patients (35%) in the E/C/F/TDF group. One patient in the Genvoya group (1 of 22 [4.5%])and 2 patients in the E/C/F/TDF group (2 of 20 [10%]) had reduced susceptibility to tenofovir.
In virologically suppressed patientsThree patients with emergent HIV-1 resistance to Genvoya were identified (M184M/I; M184I+E92G;
M184V+E92Q) up to Week 96 in a clinical study of virologically suppressed patients who switchedfrom a regimen containing emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil and a third agent (GS-US-292-0109,n = 959).
In patients co-infected with HIV and HBVIn a clinical study of HIV virologically suppressed patients co-infected with chronic hepatitis B, whoreceived Genvoya for 48 weeks (GS-US-292-1249, n = 72), 2 patients qualified for resistance analysis.
In these 2 patients, no amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to any of the components of
Genvoya were identified in HIV-1 or HBV.
Cross-resistance in HIV-1 infected, treatment-naïve or virologically suppressed patientsElvitegravir-resistant viruses show varying degrees of cross-resistance to the INSTI raltegravirdepending on the type and number of mutations. Viruses expressing the T66I/A mutations maintainsusceptibility to raltegravir, while most other patterns showed reduced susceptibility to raltegravir.
Viruses expressing elvitegravir or raltegravir resistance mutations maintain susceptibility todolutegravir.
Emtricitabine-resistant viruses with the M184V/I substitution were cross-resistant to lamivudine, butretained sensitivity to didanosine, stavudine, tenofovir, and zidovudine.
The K65R and K70E mutations result in reduced susceptibility to abacavir, didanosine, lamivudine,emtricitabine, and tenofovir, but retain sensitivity to zidovudine.
Clinical dataHIV-1 infected, treatment-naïve patientsIn studies GS-US-292-0104 and GS-US-292-0111, patients were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receiveeither Genvoya (n = 866) once daily or elvitegravir 150 mg/cobicistat 150 mg/emtricitabine200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil (as fumarate) 245 mg (E/C/F/TDF) (n = 867) once daily. The mean agewas 36 years (range 18-76), 85% were male, 57% were White, 25% were Black, and 10% were Asian.
Nineteen percent of patients were identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline plasma
HIV-1 RNA was 4.5 log10 copies/mL (range 1.3-7.0) and 23% had baseline viral loads> 100,000 copies/mL. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 427 cells/mm3 (range 0-1,360) and13% had a CD4+ cell count < 200 cells/mm3.
Genvoya demonstrated statistical superiority in achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL whencompared to E/C/F/TDF at Week 144. The difference in percentage was 4.2% (95% CI: 0.6% to7.8%). Pooled treatment outcomes at 48 and 144 weeks are shown in Table 3.

The mean increase from baseline in CD4+ cell count was 230 cells/mm3 in Genvoya-treated patientsand 211 cells/mm3 in E/C/F/TDF-treated patients (p = 0.024) at Week 48, and 326 cells/mm3 in
Genvoya-treated patients and 305 cells/mm3 in E/C/F/TDF-treated patients (p = 0.06) at Week 144.
HIV-1 infected virologically suppressed patientsIn Study GS-US-292-0109, the efficacy and safety of switching from either efavirenz(EFV)/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir disoproxil, FTC/tenofovir disoproxil plus atazanavir (boosted byeither cobicistat or ritonavir), or E/C/F/TDF to Genvoya were evaluated in a randomised, open-labelstudy of virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) HIV-1 infected adults (n = 1,436).
Patients must have been stably suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) on their baseline regimen forat least 6 months and had HIV-1 with no resistance mutations to any of the components of Genvoyaprior to study entry. Patients were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to either switch to Genvoya at baseline(n = 959), or stay on their baseline antiretroviral regimen (n = 477). Patients had a mean age of41 years (range 21-77), 89% were male, 67% were White, and 19% were Black. The mean baseline
CD4+ cell count was 697 cells/mm3 (range 79-1,951). Patients were stratified by prior treatmentregimen. At screening, 42% of patients were receiving FTC/tenofovir disoproxil plus atazanavir(boosted by either cobicistat or ritonavir), 32% of patients were receiving E/C/F/TDF, and 26% ofpatients were receiving EFV/FTC/tenofovir disoproxil.
Switching from a tenofovir disoproxil-based regimen to Genvoya was superior in maintaining
HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL compared to staying on the baseline regimen (Table 4).

HIV-1 infected patients with mild to moderate renal impairmentIn Study GS-US-292-0112, the efficacy and safety of Genvoya were evaluated in an open-labelclinical study of 242 HIV-1 infected patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFRCG:30-69 mL/min). Patients were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) for at least6 months before switching to Genvoya. The mean age was 58 years (range 24-82), with 63 patients(26%) who were ≥ 65 years of age. Seventy-nine percent were male, 63% were White, 18% were
Black, and 14% were Asian. Thirteen percent of patients were identified as Hispanic/Latino. Atbaseline, 80 patients (33%) had eGFRCG < 50 mL/min and 162 patients had eGFRCG ≥ 50 mL/min. Atbaseline, median eGFR was 56 mL/min. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 664 cells/mm3(range 126-1,813).
At Week 144, 83.1% (197/237 patients) maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL after switching to
Genvoya.
In Study GS-US-292-1825, the efficacy and safety of Genvoya were evaluated in a single-arm,open-label clinical study in which 55 HIV-1 infected adults with end stage renal disease(eGFRCG < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis for at least 6 months before switching to Genvoya.
Patients were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months beforeswitching to Genvoya.
The mean age was 48 years (range 23-64). Seventy-six percent were male, 82% were Black and 18%were White. Fifteen percent of patients identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline CD4+ cellcount was 545 cells/mm3 (range 205-1473). At Week 48, 81.8% (45/55 patients) maintained HIV-1
RNA < 50 copies/mL after switching to Genvoya. There were no clinically significant changes infasting lipid laboratory tests in patients who switched to Genvoya.
Patients co-infected with HIV and HBVIn open-label Study GS-US-292-1249, the efficacy and safety of Genvoya were evaluated in adultpatients co-infected with HIV-1 and chronic hepatitis B. Sixty-nine of the 72 patients were on priortenofovir disoproxil-containing antiretroviral therapy. At the start of treatment with Genvoya, the72 patients had been HIV suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) for at least 6 months with orwithout suppression of HBV DNA and had compensated liver function. The mean age was 50 years(range 28-67), 92% of patients were male, 69% were White, 18% were Black, and 10% were Asian.
The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 636 cells/mm3 (range 263-1,498). Eighty-six percent ofpatients (62/72) were HBV suppressed (HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL) and 42% (30/72) were
HBeAg positive at baseline.
Of the patients who were HBeAg positive at baseline, 1/30 (3.3%) achieved seroconversion toanti-HBe at Week 48. Of the patients who were HBsAg positive at baseline, 3/70 (4.3%) achievedseroconversion to anti-HBs at Week 48.
At Week 48, 92% of patients (66/72) maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL after switching to
Genvoya. The mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count at Week 48 was -2 cells/mm3.
Ninety-two percent (66/72 patients) had HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL using missing = failure analysis at
Week 48. Of the 62 patients who were HBV suppressed at baseline, 59 remained suppressed and3 had missing data. Of the 10 patients who were not HBV suppressed at baseline(HBV DNA ≥ 29 IU/mL), 7 became suppressed, 2 remained detectable, and 1 had missing data.
There are limited clinical data on the use of Genvoya in HIV/HBV co-infected patients who aretreatment-naïve.
Changes in measures of bone mineral densityIn studies in treatment-naïve patients, Genvoya was associated with smaller reductions in bone mineraldensity (BMD) compared to E/C/F/TDF as measured by DXA analysis of hip (mean change: -0.8%versus -3.4%, p < 0.001) and lumbar spine (mean change: -0.9% versus -3.0%, p < 0.001) after144 weeks of treatment.
Improvements in BMD were noted at 96 weeks after switching to Genvoya from a tenofovirdisoproxil-containing regimen compared to maintaining the tenofovir disoproxil-containing regimen.
Changes in measures of renal functionIn studies in treatment-naïve patients, Genvoya was associated with a lower impact on renal safetyparameters (as measured after 144 weeks treatment by estimated glomerular filtration rate by
Cockcroft-Gault method, and urine protein to creatinine ratio and after 96 weeks treatment by urinealbumin to creatinine ratio) compared to E/C/F/TDF (see also section 4.4). Through 144 weeks oftreatment, no subject discontinued Genvoya due to a treatment-emergent renal adverse eventcompared with 12 subjects who discontinued E/C/F/TDF (p < 0.001).
An improved renal safety profile was maintained through Week 96 in patients who switched to
Genvoya compared with those who stayed on a tenofovir disoproxil-containing regimen.
Paediatric populationStudy GS-US-292-0106In Study GS-US-292-0106, the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Genvoya were evaluated inan open-label study in HIV-1 infected, treatment-naïve adolescents between the ages of 12 to< 18 years, weighing ≥ 35 kg (n = 50) in Cohort 1, in virologically suppressed children between theages of 7 to < 12 years, weighing > 25 kg (n = 52) in Cohort 2, and in virologically suppressedchildren between the ages of 3 to 9 years, weighing ≥ 14 to < 25 kg (n = 27) in Cohort 3.
Patients in Cohort 1 had a mean age of 15 years (range 12 to 17), were 44% male, 12% Asian, and88% Black. At baseline, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.6 log10 copies/mL, median CD4+ cell countwas 456 cells/mm3 (range: 95 to 1,110), and median CD4+% was 23% (range: 7 to 45%). Overall,22% had baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA > 100,000 copies/mL.
At Week 48, the virologic response rate to Genvoya in treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected adolescentswas similar to response rates in studies of treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected adults. In patients treatedwith Genvoya, 92% (46/50) achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL. The mean increase from baselinein CD4+ cell count at Week 48 was 224 cells/mm3. Three patients had virologic failure at Week 48;there was no virologic resistance detected to Genvoya.
Patients in Cohort 2 had a mean age of 10 years (range: 7 to 11), a mean baseline weight of 32 kg(range: 26 to 58), were 42% male, 25% Asian, and 71% Black. At baseline, median CD4+ cell countwas 926 cells/mm3 (range: 336 to 1,611), and median CD4+% was 38% (range: 23 to 51%).
After switching to Genvoya, 98% (51/52) of patients in Cohort 2 remained suppressed (HIV-1 RNA< 50 copies/mL) at Week 48. The mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count and percentage at
Week 48 was -66 cells/mm3 and -0.6%, respectively. One of 52 patients met the criteria for inclusionin the resistance analysis population through Week 48; no emergent resistance to Genvoya wasdetected through Week 48.
Patients in Cohort 3 had a mean age of 6 years (range: 3 to 9), a mean baseline weight of 19 kg (range:15 to 24), were 37% male, 11% Asian, and 89% Black. At baseline, median CD4+ cell count was1061 cells/mm3 (range: 383 to 2401), and median CD4+% was 37% (range: 24 to 53%).
After switching to Genvoya, 96% (26/27) of patients in Cohort 3 remained suppressed (HIV-1 RNA< 50 copies/mL) at Week 48. The mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count and percentage at
Week 48 was -179 cells/mm3 and 0.2% respectively. One patient had virologic failure at Week 48; noemergent resistance to Genvoya was detected through Week 48.
Study GS-US-292-1515In Study GS-US-292-1515, the efficacy and safety of Genvoya were evaluated in an open-label studyin HIV-1 infected, virologically suppressed adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 years, weighing≥ 35 kg (n = 50).
Patients in the study had a median age of 15 years (range: 12 to 17 years), 64% were female and 98%were Black. At baseline, median CD4+ cell count was 742 cells/mm3 (range: 255 to 1,246) andmedian CD4+% was 34% (range: 21 to 53%).
After switching to Genvoya, 90% (45/50) of patients remained suppressed (HIV-1 RNA< 50 copies/mL) at Week 48. The mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count and percentage at
Week 48 was -43 cells/mm3 and -0.1%, respectively. Five subjects had virologic failure through theend of the study; no phenotypic or genotypic resistance to Genvoya was detected.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
AbsorptionFollowing oral administration with food in HIV-1 infected patients, peak plasma concentrations wereobserved approximately 4 hours post-dose for elvitegravir, 3 hours post-dose for cobicistat, 3 hourspost-dose for emtricitabine, and 1 hour post-dose for tenofovir alafenamide. The steady-state mean
Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctrough (mean ± SD) in HIV-1 infected patients, respectively, were 1.7 ± 0.39 µg/mL,23 ± 7.5 µg*h/mL, and 0.45 ± 0.26 µg/mL for elvitegravir, which provides inhibitory quotient of ~10(ratio of Ctrough: protein binding-adjusted IC95 for wild-type HIV-1 virus). Corresponding steady-statemean Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctrough (mean ± SD) were 1.1 ± 0.40 µg/mL, 8.3 ± 3.8 µg*h/mL, and0.05 ± 0.13 µg/mL for cobicistat; 1.9 ± 0.5 µg/mL, 13 ± 4.5 µg*h/mL, and 0.14 ± 0.25 µg/mL foremtricitabine. Steady-state mean Cmax and AUCtau for tenofovir alafenamide were 0.16 ± 0.08 µg/mLand 0.21 ± 0.15 µg*h/mL, respectively.
For elvitegravir, Cmax and AUC increased 22% and 36% with a light meal, and 56% and 91% with ahigh-fat meal, relative to fasting conditions. Cobicistat exposures were unaffected by a light meal andalthough there was a modest decrease of 24% and 18% in Cmax and AUC respectively with a high-fatmeal, no difference was observed in its pharmacoenhancing effect on elvitegravir. Emtricitabineexposures were unaffected by a light or high-fat meal. Relative to fasting conditions, theadministration of Genvoya with a light meal (~400 kcal, 20% fat) or high-fat meal (~800 kcal, 50%fat) did not affect overall exposures of tenofovir alafenamide to a clinically meaningful extent(approximately 15% and 18% higher AUC with a light or high-fat meal, respectively, versus fasted).
DistributionElvitegravir is 98-99% bound to human plasma proteins and binding is independent of drugconcentration over the range of 1 ng/mL to 1.6 µg/mL. The mean plasma to blood drug concentrationratio was 1.37.
Cobicistat is 97-98% bound to human plasma proteins and the mean plasma to blood drugconcentration ratio was 2.
In vitro binding of emtricitabine to human plasma proteins was < 4% and independent ofconcentration over the range of 0.02-200 µg/mL. At peak plasma concentration, the mean plasma toblood drug concentration ratio was ~1.0 and the mean semen to plasma drug concentration ratiowas ~4.0.
In vitro binding of tenofovir to human plasma proteins is < 0.7% and is independent of concentrationover the range of 0.01-25 µg/mL. Ex vivo binding of tenofovir alafenamide to human plasma proteinsin samples collected during clinical studies was approximately 80%.
BiotransformationElvitegravir undergoes primarily oxidative metabolism via CYP3A, and is secondarily glucuronidatedvia UGT1A1/3 enzymes. Following oral administration of boosted [14C]-elvitegravir, elvitegravir wasthe predominant species in plasma, representing ~94% of the circulating radioactivity. Aromatic andaliphatic hydroxylation or glucuronidation metabolites are present in very low levels, displayingconsiderably lower antiviral activity against HIV-1 and do not contribute to the overall antiviralactivity of elvitegravir.
Cobicistat is metabolised via CYP3A (major)- and CYP2D6 (minor)-mediated oxidation and does notundergo glucuronidation. Following oral administration of [14C]-cobicistat, 99% of circulatingradioactivity in plasma was unchanged cobicistat.
In vitro studies indicate that emtricitabine is not an inhibitor of human CYP enzymes. Followingadministration of [14C]-emtricitabine, complete recovery of the emtricitabine dose was achieved inurine (~86%) and faeces (~14%). Thirteen percent of the dose was recovered in the urine as threeputative metabolites. The biotransformation of emtricitabine includes oxidation of the thiol moiety toform the 3’-sulfoxide diastereomers (~9% of dose) and conjugation with glucuronic acid to form2’-O-glucuronide (~4% of dose). No other metabolites were identifiable.
Metabolism is a major elimination pathway for tenofovir alafenamide in humans, accounting for> 80% of an oral dose. In vitro studies have shown that tenofovir alafenamide is metabolised totenofovir (major metabolite) by cathepsin A in PBMCs (including lymphocytes and other HIV targetcells) and macrophages; and by carboxylesterase-1 in hepatocytes. In vivo, tenofovir alafenamide ishydrolysed within cells to form tenofovir (major metabolite), which is phosphorylated to the activemetabolite tenofovir diphosphate. In human clinical studies, a 10 mg oral dose of tenofoviralafenamide in Genvoya resulted in tenofovir diphosphate concentrations > 4-fold higher in PBMCsand > 90% lower concentrations of tenofovir in plasma as compared to a 245 mg oral dose of tenofovirdisoproxil (as fumarate) in E/C/F/TDF.
In vitro, tenofovir alafenamide is not metabolised by CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or
CYP2D6. Tenofovir alafenamide is minimally metabolised by CYP3A4. Upon co-administrationwith the moderate CYP3A inducer probe efavirenz, tenofovir alafenamide exposure was notsignificantly affected. Following administration of tenofovir alafenamide, plasma [14C]-radioactivityshowed a time-dependent profile with tenofovir alafenamide as the most abundant species in the initialfew hours and uric acid in the remaining period.
EliminationFollowing oral administration of [14C]-elvitegravir/ritonavir, 94.8% of the dose was recovered infaeces, consistent with the hepatobiliary excretion of elvitegravir; 6.7% of the administered dose wasrecovered in urine. The median terminal plasma half-life of elvitegravir following administration of
E/C/F/TDF is approximately 12.9 hours.
Following oral administration of [14C]-cobicistat, 86% and 8.2% of the dose were recovered in faecesand urine, respectively. The median terminal plasma half-life of cobicistat following administration of
E/C/F/TDF is approximately 3.5 hours and the associated cobicistat exposures provide elvitegravir
Ctrough approximately 10-fold above the protein-binding adjusted IC95 for wild-type HIV-1 virus.
Emtricitabine is primarily excreted by the kidneys with complete recovery of the dose achieved inurine (approximately 86%) and faeces (approximately 14%). Thirteen percent of the emtricitabinedose was recovered in urine as three metabolites. The systemic clearance of emtricitabine averaged307 mL/min. Following oral administration, the elimination half-life of emtricitabine is approximately10 hours.
Renal excretion of intact tenofovir alafenamide is a minor pathway with < 1% of the dose eliminatedin urine. Tenofovir alafenamide is mainly eliminated following metabolism to tenofovir. Tenofoviralafenamide and tenofovir have a median plasma half-life of 0.51 and 32.37 hours, respectively.
Tenofovir is eliminated from the body by the kidneys by both glomerular filtration and active tubularsecretion.

Renal impairmentNo clinically relevant differences in elvitegravir, cobicistat, tenofovir alafenamide, or tenofovirpharmacokinetics were observed between healthy subjects and patients with severe renal impairment(estimated CrCl ≥ 15 mL/min and < 30 mL/min) in Phase 1 studies of cobicistat-boosted elvitegraviror of tenofovir alafenamide, respectively. In a separate Phase 1 study of emtricitabine alone, meansystemic emtricitabine exposure was higher in patients with severe renal impairment (estimated
CrCl < 30 mL/min) (33.7 µg*h/mL) than in subjects with normal renal function (11.8 µg*h/mL). Thesafety of Genvoya has not been established in patients with severe renal impairment (estimated
CrCl ≥ 15 mL/min and < 30 mL/min).
Exposures of emtricitabine and tenofovir in 12 patients with end stage renal disease (estimated
CrCl < 15 mL/min) on chronic haemodialysis who received Genvoya in Study GS-US-292-1825 weresignificantly higher than in patients with normal renal function. No clinically relevant differences inelvitegravir, cobicistat, or tenofovir alafenamide pharmacokinetics were observed in patients withend stage renal disease on chronic haemodialysis as compared to those with normal renal function.
There were no new safety issues identified in patients with end stage renal disease on chronichaemodialysis receiving Genvoya (see section 4.8).
There are no pharmacokinetic data on elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine or tenofovir alafenamidein patients with end stage renal disease (estimated CrCl < 15 mL/min) not on chronic haemodialysis.
The safety of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine or tenofovir alafenamide has not been establishedin these patients.
Hepatic impairmentBoth elvitegravir and cobicistat are primarily metabolised and eliminated by the liver. A study of thepharmacokinetics of cobicistat-boosted elvitegravir was performed in non-HIV-1 infected patientswith moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). No clinically relevant differences inelvitegravir or cobicistat pharmacokinetics were observed between patients with moderate hepaticimpairment and subjects with normal hepatic function. The effect of severe hepatic impairment(Child-Pugh Class C) on the pharmacokinetics of elvitegravir or cobicistat has not been studied.
The pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine have not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment;however, emtricitabine is not significantly metabolised by liver enzymes, so the impact of liverimpairment should be limited.
Clinically relevant changes in the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir alafenamide or its metabolitetenofovir were not observed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. In patients withsevere hepatic impairment, total plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir arelower than those seen in subjects with normal hepatic function. When corrected for protein binding,unbound (free) plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide in severe hepatic impairment andnormal hepatic function are similar.
Hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus co-infectionThe pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide have not been fully evaluated inpatients co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus. Limited data from population pharmacokineticanalysis (n = 24) indicated that hepatitis B and/or C virus infection had no clinically relevant effect onthe exposure of boosted elvitegravir.
Pregnancy and postpartumThe results reported from a prospective study (IMPAACT P1026s) showed that treatment withcobicistat and elvitegravir-containing regimens during pregnancy results in lower elvitegravir andcobicistat exposures (Table 8).

5.3 Preclinical safety data
Elvitegravir was negative in an in vitro bacterial mutagenicity test (Ames test) and negative in anin vivo rat micronucleus assay at doses up to 2,000 mg/kg. In an in vitro chromosomal aberration test,elvitegravir was negative with metabolic activation; however, an equivocal response was observedwithout activation.
Cobicistat was not mutagenic or clastogenic in conventional genotoxicity assays. Ex vivo rabbitstudies and in vivo dog studies suggest that cobicistat has a low potential for QT prolongation, andmay slightly prolong the PR interval and decrease left ventricular function at concentrations at least11-fold higher than the human exposure at the recommended 150 mg daily dose. In a human clinicalstudy of 35 healthy subjects, echocardiograms performed at baseline and after receiving 150 mgcobicistat once daily for at least 15 days indicated no clinically significant change in left ventricularfunction.
Reproductive toxicity studies in rats and rabbits with cobicistat showed no effects on mating, fertility,pregnancy or foetal parameters. However increased post-implantation loss and decreased foetalweights were observed in rats associated with significant decreases in maternal body weights at125 mg/kg/day.
Non-clinical data on emtricitabine reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studiesof safety pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, toxicity toreproduction and development.
Elvitegravir, cobicistat, and emtricitabine have all demonstrated low carcinogenic potential in miceand rats.
Non-clinical studies of tenofovir alafenamide in rats and dogs revealed bone and kidney as the primarytarget organs of toxicity. Bone toxicity was observed as reduced bone mineral density in rats and dogsat tenofovir exposures at least 4 times greater than those expected after administration of Genvoya. Aminimal infiltration of histiocytes was present in the eye in dogs at tenofovir alafenamide andtenofovir exposures of approximately 4 and 17 times greater, respectively, than those expected afteradministration of Genvoya.
Tenofovir alafenamide was not mutagenic or clastogenic in conventional genotoxicity assays.
Because there is a lower tenofovir exposure in rats and mice after the administration of tenofoviralafenamide compared to tenofovir disoproxil, carcinogenicity studies and a rat peri-postnatal studywere conducted only with tenofovir disoproxil. No special hazard for humans was revealed inconventional studies of carcinogenic potential and toxicity to reproduction and development.
Reproductive toxicity studies in rats and rabbits showed no effects on mating, fertility, pregnancy orfoetal parameters. However, tenofovir disoproxil reduced the viability index and weight of pups in aperi-postnatal toxicity study at maternally toxic doses.
