BIOEQUIVALENCE

FDCs have greatly simplified the treatment of patients with HIV

DTG is a booster-free INI approved for treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination

with other antiretroviral agents

ABC and 3TC are NRTIs available as a single pill (Kivexa®)

The combination of DTG, ABC and 3TC as a single pill would have several potential

advantages over other FDCs, including fewer drug interactions, once daily dosing,

no need for boosting and no time-of-day or food restrictions

DTG, ABC and 3TC as a single pill is suitable for HLA-B*5701-negative patients

2014;19:501-13; Weller S et al. JAIDS 2014;66:393-8

Primary objective

Evaluate single-dose bioequivalence in the fasted state between the TRIUMEQ

(DTG/ABC/3TC; 50/600/300 mg) single-pill and DTG 50 mg given with separate

ABC/3TC (600/300 mg) to healthy volunteers (Part A)

Secondary objectives

Evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of single-dose TRIUMEQ (Part B)

Assess the safety and tolerability of single-dose administration of DTG, ABC and 3TC

in healthy volunteers either fasted or with food

Point estimates and their associated 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were constructed for the

differences, test treatment (A) – reference treatment (B), for bioequivalence assessment Adapted from Weller S et al. JAIDS 2014;66:393-8

• Serial blood samples were collected up to 48 hours after each treatment for determination of AUC and Cmax

for each of DTG, ABC and 3TC

Plasma parameters such as AUC and Cmax are used to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a drug

There was a ≥7-day washout

in part A and the dose in part B

BIOEQUIVALENCE: CONCLUSIONS

Weller S et al. JAIDS 2014;66:393-8; TRIUMEQ Summary of Product Characteristics. January 2017

TRIUMEQ is indicated for the treatment of HIV-infected adults and adolescents who:

are above 12 years of age, and

weigh at least 40 kg

TRIUMEQ is not recommended for use in patients with:

HLA-B*5701 allele

a creatinine clearance below 50 ml/min, or

moderate or severe hepatic impairment

TRIUMEQ is contraindicated:

in patients with hypersensitivity to dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine or to any of the

tablet excipients

for use with dofetilide* co-administration

TRIUMEQ INDICATION

TRIUMEQ Summary of Product Characteristics, January 2017

*Dofetilide is not licensed in the UK or Ireland

HLA / HYPERSENSITIVITY CONSIDERATIONS

Hypersensitivity reactions have been observed more commonly with abacavir, some of

which have been life-threatening, and in rare cases fatal, when not managed

appropriately. The risk for abacavir HSR to occur is high for patients who test positive for

the HLA‐B*5701 allele. However, abacavir HSRs have been reported at a low frequency

in patients who do not carry this allele.

Before initiating treatment with TRIUMEQ▼, screening for carriage of the HLA-B*5701

allele should be performed in any HIV-infected patient, irrespective of racial origin

TRIUMEQ should never be initiated in patients with a positive HLA-B*5701 status, nor in

patients with a negative HLA-B*5701 status who had a suspected abacavir HSR on a

previous abacavir-containing regimen

clearance <50ml/min or moderate/severe hepatic impairment: Not

recommended. Monitor closely in mild hepatic impairment.

Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Co-administration

with dofetilide. Warnings/precautions: Both abacavir and dolutegravir

are associated with risk of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR). Do not

initiate in HLA-B*5701+ or previous suspected abacavir HSR. Stop

Triumeq without delay if HSR suspected. Never reintroduce any

dolutegravir- or abacavir-containing product after suspected HSR. Risks

of immune reactivation syndrome, osteonecrosis, increased weight,

lipids, glucose. Monitor LFTs in Hepatitis B/C co-infection. Inconclusive

data on relationship between abacavir and MI; minimise all modifiable CV

risk factors (e.g. smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia). Not

recommended if dolutegravir required b.d. (with etravirine [without

boosted PI], efavirenz, nevirapine, rifampicin, boosted tipranavir,

carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and St John’s

Wort). Use with cladribine not recommended. Use

with Mg/Al-containing antacids, calcium, multivitamins or iron requires

dosage separation. Caution with metformin: monitor renal function and

consider metformin dose adjustment. Pregnancy/lactation: Not

recommended. Avoid breast-feeding. Side effects: See SPC for details.
