Emtricitabine is used in conjunction with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older. The fixed combination containing emtricitabine and tenofovir (Truvada) can be used in conjunction with other antiretrovirals in children 12 years of age or older weighing at least 35 kg. For initial treatment of HIV-infected pediatric patients, the HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Therapy and Medical Management of HIV-infected Children recommends antiretroviral therapy with at least 3 drugs, including either a PI or NNRTI with 2 NRTIs. When PI-based or NNRTI-based regimens are used in pediatric patients, emtricitabine and (abacavir (for individuals 3 months of age or older who test negative for the HLA-B*5701 allele), tenofovir (for adolescents 12 years of age or older at Tanner stage 4 or 5), or zidovudine) are preferred dual NRTI options. A dual NRTI combination of emtricitabine and lamivudine is not recommended, because of similar resistance profiles and minimal additive antiretroviral activity. A triple NRTI regimen that includes abacavir, tenofovir, and either lamivudine or emtricitabine or a triple NRTI regimen that includes tenofovir, didanosine, and either lamivudine or emtricitabine should not be used at any time in pediatric patients because of the high rate of early virologic failure reported in antiretroviral-naive adults.

Emtricitabine has been evaluated in a randomized, open-label, multicenter study (study 303) in 440 previously treated adults (mean age: 42 years; 86% male; 64% white; 13% Hispanic; 21% African American; median baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA level: 1.7 log10 copies/mL; mean baseline CD4+ T-cell count: 527 cells/mm3) who had received a lamivudine-containing regimen that also included 2 other antiretrovirals (background regimen) for at least 12 weeks prior to study entry and had plasma HIV-1 levels of 400 copies/mL or less. Patients in this study were randomized to receive emtricitabine in conjunction with stavudine or zidovudine and PI or NNRTI or to continue their lamivudine-containing background regimen (i.e., lamivudine in conjunction with stavudine or zidovudine and a PI or NNRTI). At week 48, 77 and 67% of adults receiving the regimen that included emtricitabine and 82 and 72% of those receiving the regimen that included lamivudine had plasma HIV-1 RNA levels less than 400 or 50 copies/mL, respectively. Virologic failure (i.e., individuals who failed to achieve virologic suppression or experienced rebound after achieving virologic suppression) was reported in 7% of those receiving the emtricitabine-containing regimen and in 8% of those receiving the lamivudine-containing regimen at week 48. Administration of the emtricitabine-containing regimen resulted in a mean increase in CD4+ T-cell counts of 29 cells/mm3; administration of the lamivudine-containing regimen resulted in a mean increase in CD4+ T-cell counts of 61 cells/cu mm.

Safety and efficacy of emtricitabine used in conjunction with other antiretrovirals have been evaluated in a randomized multicenter study in treatment-naive adults (study 301A). In this study, 571 HIV-infected adults (mean age: 36 years; 85% male; 52% white; 26% Hispanic; 16% African American; median baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA level: 4.9 log10 copies/mL; mean baseline CD4+ T-cell count: 318 cells/mm3) were randomized to receive emtricitabine or stavudine in conjunction with didanosine (delayed-release capsules) and efavirenz. Results of this study indicated that an initial regimen that includes emtricitabine in conjunction with didanosine and efavirenz is as effective as an initial regimen of stavudine in conjunction with didanosine and efavirenz. At week 48, 81 and 78% of adults receiving the regimen that included emtricitabine and 68 and 59% of those receiving the regimen that included stavudine had plasma HIV-1 RNA levels less than 400 or 50 copies/mL, respectively. Virologic failure (i.e., individuals who failed to achieve virologic suppression or experienced rebound after achieving virologic suppression) at week 48 was reported in 3% of those receiving the emtricitabine-containing regimen and in 11% of those receiving the stavudine-containing regimen. At week 48, increases in CD4+ T-cell counts were greater in patients receiving the regimen that included emtricitabine (mean increase of 168 cells/mm3) than in those receiving the regimen that included stavudine (mean increase of 134 cells/mm3).

Safety and efficacy of emtricitabine have been established for treatment of HIV-1 infection in children 3 months of age and older. The pharmacokinetics and safety of emtricitabine were evaluated in a dose-finding study in 20 neonates born to HIV-infected mothers.20 1 These neonates received zidovudine prophylaxis for 6 weeks. In addition, these neonates received 2 short courses of emtricitabine (3 mg/kg daily for 4 days per course) during the first 12 weeks of life. This dose was well tolerated and was not associated with any safety issues. Systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC]) in infants 0-3 months of age receiving emtricitabine 3 mg/kg daily was similar to that reported in children 3 months to 17 years of age receiving emtricitabine 6 mg/kg daily. All neonates were HIV-1 negative at the end of the study (6 months postpartum); efficacy of emtricitabine for the prevention or treatment of HIV was not determined.

Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatalities, have been reported in patients receiving nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), including emtricitabine, in conjunction with other antiretroviral agents. Most reported cases have involved women; obesity and long-term therapy with a nucleoside analog also may be risk factors.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 702
Caution should be observed when nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors are used in patients with known risk factors for liver disease; however, lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis have been reported in patients with no known risk factors. Emtricitabine therapy should be interrupted in any patient with clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (signs of hepatotoxicity include hepatomegaly and steatosis even in the absence of marked increases in serum aminotransferase concentrations).
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 702
Prior to initiation of emtricitabine therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, patients should be tested for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). Emtricitabine is not indicated for the treatment of chronic HBV infection; safety and efficacy of the drug have not been established in patients with coexisting HBV and HIV infections. Exacerbations of HBV infection have been reported in HIV-infected patients following discontinuance of emtricitabine. Patients with HBV infection and HIV infection should be closely monitored with clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping emtricitabine therapy.

Emtricitabine is indicated in combination with other medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infections; treatment of HIV-1 infections in pediatric patients 25-35kg, treatment of HIV-1 infections in adult patients 35kg, for pre exposure prophylaxis of HIV-1 in adolescent and adult patients excluding those who have receptive vaginal sex; treatment of HIV-1 infections in pediatric and adult patients 17kg, pre exposure prophylaxis in adolescents and adults 35kg; treatment of HIV-1 in patients 12 years and 35kg; treatment of HIV-1 in patients weighing 35kg; treatment of HIV-1 in patients weighing 25kg; and treatment of HIV-1 in patients weighing 40kg.
FDA Label
Emtriva is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infected adults and children in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
This indication is based on studies in treatment-naive patients and treatment-experienced patients with stable virological control. There is no experience of the use of Emtriva in patients who are failing their current regimen or who have failed multiple regimens.
When deciding on a new regimen for patients who have failed an antiretroviral regimen, careful consideration should be given to the patterns of mutations associated with different medicinal products and the treatment history of the individual patient. Where available, resistance testing may be appropriate.
Emtricitabine is a cytidine analog that competes with the natural substrate of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase to be incorporated into newly formed DNA, terminating its transcription. It is administered once daily so it has a long duration of action. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of lactic acidosis and hepatomegaly with steatosis.

Emtricitabine is a cytidine analog which, when phosphorylated to emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate, competes with deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. As HIV-1 reverse transcriptase incorporates emtricitabine into forming DNA strands, new nucleotides are unable to be incorporated, leading to viral DNA chain termination. Inhibition of reverse transcriptase prevents transcription of viral RNA into DNA, therefore the virus is unable to incorporate its DNA into host DNA and replicate using host cell machinery. This reduces viral load.
Emtricitabine, a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytosine, is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to form emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate. Emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate inhibits the activity of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate and by being incorporated into nascent viral DNA which results in chain termination. Emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerase alpha, beta, epsilon and mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma.
