Side Effects Overview
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: Immune Reconstitution Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 5%, all grades) are nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abnormal dreams. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 1-877-888-4231 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions in Adults with No Antiretroviral Treatment History The safety assessment of PIFELTRO used in combination with other antiretroviral agents is based on Week 96 data from two Phase 3, randomized, international, multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled trials (DRIVE-FORWARD (Protocol 018) and DRIVE-AHEAD (Protocol 021)). In DRIVE-FORWARD, 766 adult participants received either PIFELTRO 100 mg (n=383) or darunavir 800 mg + ritonavir 100 mg (DRV+r) (n=383) once daily, each in combination with emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) or abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC). By Week 96, 2% in the PIFELTRO group and 3% in the DRV+r group had adverse events leading to discontinuation of study medication. In DRIVE-AHEAD, 728 adult participants received either DELSTRIGO [doravirine (DOR)/3TC/TDF] (n=364) or efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF once daily (n=364). By Week 96, 3% in the DELSTRIGO group and 7% in the EFV/FTC/TDF group had adverse events leading to discontinuation of study medication. Adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 5% of participants in any treatment group in DRIVE-FORWARD and DRIVE-AHEAD are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all adverse events attributed to trial drugs by the investigator. (All Grades) Reported in ≥5% No adverse reactions of Grade 2 or higher (moderate or severe) occurred in ≥ 2% of participants treated with doravirine. of Participants in Any Treatment Group in Adults with No Antiretroviral Treatment History in DRIVE-FORWARD and DRIVE-AHEAD (Week 96) DRIVE-FORWARD DRIVE-AHEAD PIFELTRO+2 NRTIs NRTI = nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events For DRIVE-AHEAD, the analysis of participants with neuropsychiatric adverse events by Week 48 is presented in Table 2. The proportion of participants who reported one or more neuropsychiatric adverse events was 24% and 57% in the DELSTRIGO and EFV/FTC/TDF groups, respectively. A statistically significantly lower proportion of DELSTRIGO-treated participants compared to EFV/FTC/TDF-treated participants reported neuropsychiatric adverse events by Week 48 in the three pre-specified categories of dizziness, sleep disorders and disturbances, and altered sensorium. Table 2: DRIVE-AHEAD - Analysis of Participants with Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events All causality and all grade events were included in the analysis. (Week 48) DELSTRIGO Once Daily N=364 EFV/FTC/TDF Once Daily N=364 Treatment Difference DELSTRIGO - EFV/FTC/TDF Estimate (95% CI) The 95% CIs were calculated using Miettinen and Nurminen's method. Categories pre-specified for statistical testing were dizziness (p <0.001), sleep disorders and disturbances (p <0.001), and altered sensorium (p=0.033). Sleep disorders and disturbances Predefined using MedDRA preferred terms, including: abnormal dreams, hyposomnia, initial insomnia, insomnia, nightmare, sleep disorder, somnambulism. 12% 26% -13.5 (-19.1, -7.9) Dizziness 9% 37% -28.3 (-34.0, -22.5) Altered sensorium Predefined using MedDRA preferred terms, including: altered state of consciousness, lethargy, somnolence, syncope. 4% 8% -3.8 (-7.6, -0.3) Neuropsychiatric adverse events in the pre-defined category of depression and suicide/self-injury were reported in 4% and 7% of participants, in the DELSTRIGO and EFV/FTC/TDF groups, respectively. In DRIVE-AHEAD through 48 weeks of treatment, the majority of participants who reported neuropsychiatric adverse events reported events that were mild to moderate in severity (97% [83/86] and 96% [198/207], in the DELSTRIGO and EFV/FTC/TDF groups, respectively) and the majority of participants reported these events in the first 4 weeks of treatment (72% [62/86] in the DELSTRIGO group and 86% [177/207] in the EFV/FTC/TDF group). Neuropsychiatric adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 1% (2/364) and 1% (5/364) of participants in the DELSTRIGO and EFV/FTC/TDF groups, respectively. The proportion of participants who reported neuropsychiatric adverse events through Week 4 was 17% (62/364) in the DELSTRIGO group and 49% (177/364) in the EFV/FTC/TDF group. At Week 48, the prevalence of neuropsychiatric adverse events was 12% (44/364) in the DELSTRIGO group and 22% (81/364) in the EFV/FTC/TDF group. At Week 96, the prevalence of neuropsychiatric adverse events was 13% (47/364) in the DELSTRIGO group and 23% (82/364) in the EFV/FTC/TDF group. Laboratory Abnormalities The percentages of participants with selected laboratory abnormalities (that represent a worsening from baseline) who were treated with PIFELTRO or DRV+r in DRIVE-FORWARD, or DELSTRIGO or EFV/FTC/TDF in DRIVE-AHEAD are presented in Table 3.

Changes from baseline at Week 96 were similar to those seen at Week 48. The LDL and non-HDL comparisons were pre-specified and are summarized in Table 4. The differences were statistically significant, showing superiority for doravirine for both parameters. The clinical benefit of these findings has not been demonstrated. Table 4: Mean Change from Baseline in Fasting Lipids in Adult Participants with No Antiretroviral Treatment History in DRIVE-FORWARD and DRIVE-AHEAD (Week 48) Participants on lipid-lowering agents at baseline were excluded from these analyses (in DRIVE-FORWARD: PIFELTRO n=12 and DRV+r n=14; in DRIVE-AHEAD: DELSTRIGO n=15 and EFV/FTC/TDF n=10). Participants initiating a lipid-lowering agent post-baseline had their last fasted on-treatment value (prior to starting the agent) carried forward (in DRIVE-FORWARD: PIFELTRO n=6 and DRV+r n=4; in DRIVE-AHEAD: DELSTRIGO n=3 and EFV/FTC/TDF n=8).

Overall, the safety profile in virologically-suppressed adult participants was similar to that in participants with no antiretroviral treatment history. Laboratory Abnormalities Serum ALT and AST Elevations: In the DRIVE-SHIFT trial, 22% and 16% of participants in the immediate switch group experienced ALT and AST elevations greater than 1.25 × ULN, respectively, through 48 weeks on DELSTRIGO. For these ALT and AST elevations, no apparent patterns with regard to time to onset relative to switch were observed. One percent of participants had ALT or AST elevations greater than 5 × ULN through 48 weeks on DELSTRIGO. The ALT and AST elevations were generally asymptomatic and not associated with bilirubin elevations. In comparison, 4% and 4% of participants in the delayed switch group experienced ALT and AST elevations of greater than 1.25 × ULN through 24 weeks on their baseline regimen. Change in Lipids from Baseline Changes from baseline at Week 24 in LDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol in participants on a PI plus ritonavir-based regimen at baseline are shown in Table 5. The LDL and non-HDL comparisons were pre-specified, and the differences were statistically significant, showing superiority for an immediate switch to DELSTRIGO for both parameters. The clinical benefit of these findings has not been demonstrated.

LDL-Cholesterol (mg/dL) p-value for the pre-specified hypothesis testing for treatment difference was <0.0001. 108.7 -16.3 110.5 -2.6 -14.5 (-18.9, -10.1) Non-HDL Cholesterol (mg/dL) 138.6 -24.8 138.8 -2.1 -22.8 (-27.9, -17.7) Total Cholesterol (mg/dL) Not pre-specified for hypothesis testing. 188.5 -26.1 187.4 -0.2 - Triglycerides (mg/dL) 153.1 -44.4 151.4 -0.4 - HDL-Cholesterol (mg/dL) 50.0 -1.3 48.5 1.9 - Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Participants The safety of doravirine as a component of DELSTRIGO was evaluated in 45 virologically-suppressed or treatment-naïve pediatric participants 12 to less than 18 years of age living with HIV through Week 24 in an open-label trial (IMPAACT 2014 (Protocol 027)) [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ] . The safety profile in pediatric participants was similar to that in adults. There were no serious or Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions. No participants discontinued due to an adverse event. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing experience in patients receiving doravirine-containing regimens. Because postmarketing reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) Hepatobiliary Disorders : hepatitis Investigations : hepatic enzyme increased
警告と注意事項
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported during the postmarketing experience with doravirine-containing regimens. Discontinue PIFELTRO, and other medications known to be associated with severe skin reactions, immediately if a painful rash with mucosal involvement or a progressive severe rash develops, and closely monitor clinical status. ( 5.1 ) Monitor for Immune Reconstitution Syndrome. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Severe Skin Reactions Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported during the postmarketing experience with doravirine-containing regimens [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ]. Discontinue PIFELTRO, and other medications known to be associated with severe skin reactions, immediately if a painful rash with mucosal involvement or a progressive severe rash develops. Clinical status should be closely monitored, and appropriate therapy should be initiated. 5.2 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of PIFELTRO and certain other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of PIFELTRO and possible development of resistance [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. See Table 6 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations. Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during PIFELTRO therapy, review concomitant medications during PIFELTRO therapy, and monitor for adverse reactions. 5.3 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune system responds may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), or tuberculosis), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, the time to onset is more variable and can occur many months after initiation of treatment.

The pharmacokinetics of doravirine in patients with end-stage renal disease or undergoing dialysis, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) is unknown. Patients with Renal Impairment In a study comparing 8 participants with severe renal impairment to 8 participants without renal impairment, the single dose exposure of doravirine was 43% higher in participants with severe renal impairment. In a population pharmacokinetic analysis, renal function did not have a clinically relevant effect on doravirine pharmacokinetics. Doravirine has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease or in patients undergoing dialysis [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . Patients with Hepatic Impairment No clinically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score B) compared to participants without hepatic impairment. Doravirine has not been studied in participants with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score C) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Pediatric Patients Mean doravirine exposures were similar in 54 pediatric participants aged 12 to less than 18 years and weighing at least 35 kg who received doravirine or DELSTRIGO in IMPAACT 2014 (Protocol 027) relative to adults following administration of doravirine or DELSTRIGO (Table 8). For pediatric participants weighing ≥ 35 kg and < 45 kg who received doravirine 100 mg or DELSTRIGO, the population pharmacokinetic model-predicted mean C 24 of doravirine was comparable to that achieved in adults, whereas mean AUC 0-24 and C max of doravirine were 25% and 36% higher than adult values, respectively. However, the predicted AUC 0-24 and C max increases are not considered clinically significant. Table 8: Steady State Pharmacokinetics for Doravirine Following Administration of Doravirine or DELSTRIGO in Pediatric Participants Living with HIV Aged 12 to Less than 18 Years and Weighing at Least 35 kg Parameter Presented as geometric mean (%CV: geometric coefficient of variation) Doravirine From population PK analysis (n=53 weighing ≥45 kg, n=1 weighing ≥35 kg to <45 kg) Abbreviations: AUC=area under the time concentration curve; C max =maximum concentration; C 24 =concentration at 24 hours AUC 0-24 (mcg∙h/mL) 16.4 (24) C max (mcg/mL) 1.03 (16) C 24 (mcg/mL) 0.379 (42) Drug Interaction Studies Doravirine is primarily metabolized by CYP3A, and drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A may affect the clearance of doravirine. Co-administration of doravirine and drugs that induce CYP3A may result in decreased plasma concentrations of doravirine. Co-administration of doravirine and drugs that inhibit CYP3A may result in increased plasma concentrations of doravirine. Doravirine is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on the exposure of medicinal products metabolized by CYP enzymes. Doravirine did not inhibit major drug metabolizing enzymes in vitro , including CYPs 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 3A4, and UGT1A1 and is not likely to be an inducer of CYP1A2, 2B6, or 3A4. Based on in vitro assays, doravirine is not likely to be an inhibitor of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, P-glycoprotein, BSEP, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2K. Drug interaction studies were performed with doravirine and other drugs likely to be co-administered or commonly used as probes for pharmacokinetic interactions. The effects of co-administration with other drugs on the exposure (C max , AUC, and C 24 ) of doravirine are summarized in Table 9.
