4.2 Therapeutic Uses

HIV Reverse Transcriptase/antagonists & inhibitors

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings. Rilpivirine. Online file (MeSH, 2014). Available from, as of November 19, 2013: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/2014/mesh_browser/MBrowser.html


Due to ongoing neuropsychiatric adverse events in some efavirenz (EFV)-treated patients, a switch to an alternative non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor may be considered. Rilpivirine (RPV) has been coformulated as a single-tablet regimen (STR) with emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF), and the components have demonstrated noninferior efficacy to EFV+FTC/TDF, good tolerability profile, and high adherence. After discontinuation, EFV has an extended inductive effect on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 that, after switching, may reduce RPV exposures and adversely impact clinical outcomes. This study examines the clinical implications of reduced RPV exposures with concomitant FTC/TDF and declining EFV exposures when patients, intolerant to EFV, switch from EFV/FTC/TDF to RPV/FTC/TDF. This 48-week, phase 2b, open-label, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of switching from EFV/FTC/TDF (>/= 3 months duration) to RPV/FTC/TDF. Virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL), safety, and EFV and RPV pharmacokinetics were assessed. At weeks 12 and 24, all 49 dosed subjects remained suppressed on RPV/FTC/TDF. At week 48, 46 (93.9%) subjects remained suppressed and virologic failure occurred in 2/49 (4.1%) subjects with no emergence of resistance. EFV concentrations were above the 90th percentile for inhibitory concentration (IC90) for several weeks after EFV discontinuation, and RPV exposures were in the range observed in phase 3 studies by approximately 2 weeks post switch. No subjects discontinued the study due to an adverse event. Switching from EFV/FTC/TDF to RPV/FTC/ TDF was a safe, efficacious option for virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients with EFV intolerance wishing to remain on an STR.

4.3 Drug Warning

Adverse effects of moderate or severe intensity and reported in 2% or more of patients receiving rilpivirine include depressive disorders, insomnia, headache, and rash. Increased serum AST and/or ALT concentrations (more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) were reported in 3-4% of patients receiving rilpivirine.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 680


Rilpivirine should be used with caution and with increased monitoring for adverse effects in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease since concentrations of the drug may be increased due to alterations in absorption, distribution, or metabolism.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 680


Rilpivirine and the fixed combination containing rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir (Complera) have not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C).

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 680


Experience in those 65 years of age and older is insufficient to determine whether they respond differently than younger adults. Dosage should be selected with caution because of age-related decreases in hepatic and/or renal function and potential for concomitant disease and drug therapy.

4.4 Drug Indication

Rilpivirine, in combination with other agents, is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infections in antiretroviral treatment-naive patients with HIV-1 RNA 100,000 copies/mL and CD4+ cell count >200 cells/mm3. The FDA combination therapy approval of rilpivirine and dolutegravir is indicated for adults with HIV-1 infections whose virus is currently suppressed (< 50 copies/ml) on a stable regimen for at least six months, without history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated to resistance to any of the two components of the therapy.


FDA Label


Edurant, in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV1) infection in antiretroviral treatmentnave patients 12 years of age and older with a viral load 100,000 HIV1 RNA copies/ml.

As with other antiretroviral medicinal products, genotypic resistance testing should guide the use of Edurant.


Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection


Rekambys is indicated, in combination with cabotegravir injection, for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV 1) infection in adults who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen without present or past evidence of viral resistance to, and no prior virological failure with, agents of the NNRTI and INI class.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Rilpivirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that inhibits the replication of HIV-1. It has a long duration of action as the oral tablet is given daily and the intramuscular suspension is given monthly. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of hypersensitivity reactions, hepatotoxicity, depressive disorders, and the redistribution or accumulation of body fat.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-HIV Agents

Agents used to treat AIDS and/or stop the spread of the HIV infection. These do not include drugs used to treat symptoms or opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. (See all compounds classified as Anti-HIV Agents.)


Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors

Inhibitors of reverse transcriptase (RNA-DIRECTED DNA POLYMERASE), an enzyme that synthesizes DNA on an RNA template. (See all compounds classified as Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Rilpivirine has a Tmax of 3-4 hours and has a mean AUC of 2235 851 ng\*h/mL. A 25mg dose reaches a Cmax of 247 ng/mL in healthy subjects and 138.6 ng/mL in patients with HIV-1.


Route of Elimination

Rilpivirine is 85% eliminated in the feces and 6.1% eliminated in the urine. 25% of a dose is recovered in the feces as the unchanged parent drug, while <1% of a dose is recovered in the urine as the unchanged parent drug.


Volume of Distribution

In HIV-1 patients, the apparent volume of distribution in the central compartment was 152-173 L.


Clearance

In HIV-1 patients, the apparent total clearance is estimated to be 6.89-8.66 L/h.


After a single oral dose, an average of 85% of the dose is eliminated in feces (75% as metabolites) and 6% is eliminated in urine (only trace amounts as unchanged rilpivirine).

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 681


It is not known whether rilpivirine is distributed into human milk; however, the drug is distributed into milk in rats.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 680


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Rilpivirine is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 to the hydroxylated metabolites M1, M2, M3, and M4. UGT1A1 glucuronidates the M2 metabolite to form M6, UGT1A4 glucuronidates rilpivirine to form M5, and an unknown UGT glucuronidates the M4 metabolite to form M7.


Rilpivirine is metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 680


5.7 Biological Half-Life

Rilpivirine has a terminal half-life of 34-55 hours.


The terminal elimination half-life of rilpivirine is approximately 50 hours.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 681


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Rilpivirine is a non-competitive NNRTI that binds to reverse transcriptase. Its binding results in the blockage of RNA and DNA- dependent DNA polymerase activities, like HIV-1 replication. It does not present activity against human DNA polymerases , and . Rilpivirine's flexible structure around the aromatic rings allows the adaptation to changes in the non-nucleoside RT binding pocket, reducing the likelihood of viral mutations conferring resistance.


Rilpivirine, a diarylpyrimidine nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), inhibits replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) by interfering with viral RNA- and DNA-directed polymerase activities of reverse transcriptase. Diarylpyrimidine NNRTIs (e.g., rilpivirine, etravirine) are capable of adapting to mutations in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase because of structural flexibility that allows for binding to the allosteric NNRTI binding pocket in a variety of conformations. Unlike other currently available NNRTIs, rilpivirine contains a cyanovinyl group that contributes to potency and maintains the drug's binding ability, despite the emergence of some resistance mutations.
