Telaprevir is an orally available peptidomimetic small molecule with activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV). Telaprivir is a selective protease inhibitor that targets the viral HCV NS3-4A serine protease and disrupts processing of viral proteins and formation of a viral replication complex.
Telaprevir is a Hepatitis C Virus NS3/4A Protease Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of telaprevir is as a HCV NS3/4A Protease Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A Inhibitor, and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 2B1 Inhibitor.

INCIVEK (telaprevir), in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, is indicated for the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C in adult patients with compensated liver disease, including cirrhosis, who are treatment-naive or who have previously been treated with interferon-based treatment, including prior null responders, partial responders, and relapsers. /Included in US product label/

US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for INCIVEK (telaprevir) tablet, film coated (December 2012). Available from, as of March 12, 2013: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=ed0e4f33-cf21-4fe3-918d-1d5b3a23eee4


4.3 Drug Warning

Fatal and non-fatal serious skin reactions, including Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), have been reported in patients treated with INCIVEK combination treatment. Fatal cases have been reported in patients with progressive rash and systemic symptoms who continued to receive INCIVEK combination treatment after a serious skin reaction was identified. For serious skin reactions, including rash with systemic symptoms or a progressive severe rash, INCIVEK, peginterferon alfa, and ribavirin must be discontinued immediately. Discontinuing other medications known to be associated with serious skin reactions should be considered. Patients should be promptly referred for urgent medical care.

Rash developed in 56% of patients receiving telaprevir during controlled clinical trials. Severe rash (e.g., generalized rash or rash with vesicles or bullae or ulcerations other than SJS) was reported in 4% of patients receiving telaprevir in conjunction with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin compared with less than 1% of patients receiving peginterferon alfa and ribavirin without telaprevir. Rash frequently was observed during the first 4 weeks of telaprevir treatment, but can occur at any time. Rash generally improves when telaprevir therapy is completed or discontinued; complete resolution may take weeks.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 853


If a serious skin reaction occurs, telaprevir, peginterferon alfa, and ribavirin should be immediately discontinued and the patient promptly referred for urgent medical care. Patients with mild to moderate rash should be monitored for progression of rash or development of systemic symptoms. If rash progresses and becomes severe or if systemic symptoms develop, telaprevir should be discontinued; peginterferon alfa and ribavirin may be continued.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 853


Telaprevir dosage should not be reduced and telaprevir should not be restarted if it was discontinued because of rash. If improvement is not observed within 7 days of discontinuing telaprevir, sequential or simultaneous interruption or discontinuance of peginterferon alfa and/or ribavirin should be considered. If medically indicated, earlier interruption or discontinuance of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin should be considered.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Telaprevir reaches peak plasma concentration 4-5hours after administration. Absolute bioavailability has not been determined. When taken with a normal fat meal (21g of fat), exposure increases by 235% compared to fasting conditions. With low (3.6g of fat) and high fat (56g of fat) meals, exposure increased 117% and 330% respectively.


Route of Elimination

Telaprevir is mainly eliminated in the feces (82%) with a smaller amount eliminated via expiration (9%) and very little in the urine (1%). 31.9% and 18.8% of drug in the feces was present as the parent compound and R-diastereomer of the parent compound respectively.


Volume of Distribution

The estimated apparent volume of distribution for Telapravir is 252 litres with an inter-individual variability of 72%.


Clearance

Telaprevir has an estimated aparent total body clearance of 32.4 liters per hour with an interindividual variability of 27.2%.


The pharmacokinetic properties of telaprevir have been evaluated in healthy adult subjects and in subjects with chronic hepatitis C. Following multiple doses of telaprevir (750 mg every 8 hr) in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin in treatment-naive subjects with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, mean (SD) Cmax was 3510 (1280) ng/mL, Cmin was 2030 (930) ng/mL, and AUC8h was 22,300 (8650) ng.hr/mL.

Telaprevir is orally available, most likely absorbed in the small intestine, with no evidence for absorption in the colon. Maximum plasma concentrations after a single dose of telaprevir are generally achieved after 4 to 5 hours.

Telaprevir is a substrate for and inhibitor of P-glycoprotein transport.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 855


The systemic exposure (AUC) to telaprevir was increased by 237% when telaprevir was administered with a standard fat meal (containing 533 kcal and 21 g fat) compared to when telaprevir was administered under fasting conditions. In addition, the type of meal significantly affects exposure to telaprevir. Relative to fasting, when telaprevir was administered with a low-fat meal (249 kcal, 3.6 g fat) and a high-fat meal (928 kcal, 56 g fat), the systemic exposure (AUC) to telaprevir was increased by approximately 117% and 330%, respectively.

5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Telaprevir is extensively metabolized via hydrolysis, oxidation, and reduction. The major metabolites of Telaprevir are pyrazinoic acid, a metabolite that underwent reduction at the -ketoamide bond, and the R-diastereomer of telaprevir which is 30-fold less active than the parent compound were found to be the predominant metabolites. The primary enzyme involved in the metabolism of Telaprevir is CYP3A4. Some metabolism is performed by aldo-keto reductases and other reductases.


Telaprevir is extensively metabolized in the liver, involving hydrolysis, oxidation, and reduction. Multiple metabolites were detected in feces, plasma, and urine. After repeated oral administration, the R-diastereomer of telaprevir (30-fold less active), pyrazinoic acid, and a metabolite that underwent reduction at the alpha-ketoamide bond of telaprevir (not active) were found to be the predominant metabolites of telaprevir.

5.6 Biological Half-Life

Telaprevir has a half-life of elimination of 4.0-4.7 hours after a single dose and an effective half life of 9-11 hours at steady state.


The mean elimination half-life after single-dose oral administration of telaprevir 750 mg typically ranged from about 4.0 to 4.7 hours. At steady state, the effective half-life is about 9 to 11 hours.

5.7 Mechanism of Action

Telaprevir is a NS3/4a protease inhibitor used to inhibit viral HCV replication. NS3/4a protease is an integral part of viral replication and mediates the cleavage the virally encoded polyprotein to mature proteins (NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B). Telaprevir inhibits NS3/4A with an IC50 of 10nM.


Telaprevir is a peptidomimetic, selective hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 3/4A (NS3/4A) protease inhibitor. The drug is a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agent with activity against HCV. Telaprevir contains an alpha-ketoamide functional group that covalently and reversibly binds the active serine site of HCV NS3/4 protease. By blocking proteolytic cleavage of NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B from the HCV-encoded polyprotein, the drug inhibits HCV replication. Telaprevir has in vitro activity against HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, and 2, but is less active against genotypes 3a and 4a.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 855


Telaprevir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A serine protease, necessary for the proteolytic cleavage of the HCV encoded polyprotein into mature forms of the NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B proteins and essential for viral replication. In a biochemical assay, telaprevir inhibited the proteolytic activity of the recombinant HCV NS3 protease domain with an IC50 value of 10 nM.
