Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reactions rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Adverse Reactions in Adults The safety of lopinavir and ritonavir has been investigated in about 2,600 patients in Phase II-IV clinical trials, of which about 700 have received dose of 800/200 mg (6 capsules or tablets) once daily. Along with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), in some studies, lopinavir and ritonavir was used in combination with efavirenz or nevirapine. In clinical studies the incidence of diarrhea in patients treated with either lopinavir and ritonavir capsules or tablets was greater in those patients treated once daily than in those patients treated twice daily. Any grade of diarrhea was reported by at least half of patients taking once daily lopinavir and ritonavir capsules or tablets. At the time of treatment discontinuation, 4.2 to 6.3% of patients taking once daily lopinavir and ritonavir and 1.8 to 3.7% of those taking twice daily lopinavir and ritonavir reported ongoing diarrhea. Commonly reported adverse reactions to lopinavir and ritonavir included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting may occur at the beginning of the treatment while hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia may occur later. The following have been identified as adverse reactions of moderate or severe intensity (Table 8): Table 8.

Patients received lopinavir and ritonavir in combination with NRTIs and nevirapine. Criterion for Study 802 was >5x ULN (AST/ALT). Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution dosed up to 300/75 mg/m2 has been studied in 100 pediatric patients months to 12 years of age. The adverse reaction profile seen during Study 940 was similar to that for adult patients. Dysgeusia (22%), vomiting (21%), and diarrhea (12%) were the most common adverse reactions of any severity reported in pediatric patients treated with combination therapy for up to 48 weeks in Study 940. total of patients experienced adverse reactions of moderate to severe intensity. The adverse reactions meeting these criteria and reported for the subjects include: hypersensitivity (characterized by fever, rash and jaundice), pyrexia, viral infection, constipation, hepatomegaly, pancreatitis, vomiting, alanine aminotransferase increased, dry skin, rash, and dysgeusia. Rash was the only event of those listed that occurred in or more subjects (N 3). Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution dosed at 300/75 mg/m has been studied in 31 pediatric patients 14 days to months of age. The adverse reaction profile in Study 1030 was similar to that observed in older children and adults. No adverse reaction was reported in greater than 10% of subjects. Adverse drug reactions of moderate to severe intensity occurring in or more subjects included decreased neutrophil count (N=3), anemia (N=2), high potassium (N=2), and low sodium (N=2). Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution and soft gelatin capsules dosed at higher than recommended doses including 400/100 mg/m (without concomitant NNRTI) and 480/120 mg/m (with concomitant NNRTI) have been studied in 26 pediatric patients to 18 years of age in Study 1038. Patients also had saquinavir mesylate added to their regimen at Week 4. Rash (12%), blood cholesterol abnormal (12%) and blood triglycerides abnormal (12%) were the only adverse reactions reported in greater than 10% of subjects. Adverse drug reactions of moderate to severe intensity occurring in or more subjects included rash (N=3), blood triglycerides abnormal (N=3), and electrocardiogram QT prolonged (N=2). Both subjects with QT prolongation had additional predisposing conditions such as electrolyte abnormalities, concomitant medications, or pre-existing cardiac abnormalities.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Lopinavir and ritonavir is fixed-dose combination of HIV-1 antiviral drugs lopinavir [see Microbiology (12.4)] and ritonavir. As co-formulated in lopinavir and ritonavir, ritonavir inhibits the CYP3A-mediated metabolism of lopinavir, thereby providing increased plasma levels of lopinavir. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of lopinavir and ritonavir on QTcF interval was evaluated in placebo and active (moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily) controlled crossover study in 39 healthy adults. The maximum mean time-matched (95% upper confidence bound) differences in QTcF interval from placebo after baseline-correction were 5.3 (8.1) and 15.2 (18.0) mseconds (msec) for 400/100 mg twice daily and supratherapeutic 800/200 mg twice daily lopinavir and ritonavir, respectively. Lopinavir and ritonavir 800/200 mg twice daily resulted in Day mean max approximately 2-fold higher than the mean max observed with the approved once daily and twice daily lopinavir and ritonavir doses at steady state. The maximum mean (95% upper confidence bound) difference from placebo in the PR interval after baseline-correction were 24.9 (21.5, 28.3) and 31.9 (28.5, 35.3) msec for 400/100 mg twice daily and supratherapeutic 800/200 mg twice daily lopinavir and ritonavir, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions 5.5, 5.6)]. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic properties of lopinavir are summarized in Table 13. The steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters of lopinavir are summarized in Table 14. Under fed conditions, lopinavir concentrations were similar following administration of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets to capsules with less pharmacokinetic variability. Under fed conditions (500 kcal, 25% from fat), lopinavir concentrations were similar following administration of lopinavir and ritonavir capsules and oral solution.Table 13.

Lopinavir pharmacokinetics have not been studied in elderly patients.Pediatric PatientsThe 230/57.5 mg/m twice daily regimen without nevirapine and the 300/75 mg/m twice daily regimen with nevirapine provided lopinavir plasma concentrations similar to those obtained in adult patients receiving the 400/100 mg twice daily regimen without nevirapine.

Yet this decrease is not considered clinically relevant in patients with no documented lopinavir and ritonavir-associated resistance substitutions receiving 400 mg/100 mg twice daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Renal Impairment Lopinavir pharmacokinetics have not been studied in patients with renal impairment; however, since the renal clearance of lopinavir is negligible, decrease in total body clearance is not expected in patients with renal impairment. Hepatic Impairment Multiple dosing of lopinavir and ritonavir 400/100 mg twice daily to HIV-1 and HCV co-infected patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (n 12) resulted in 30% increase in lopinavir AUC and 20% increase in max compared to HIV-1 infected subjects with normal hepatic function (n 12). Additionally, the plasma protein binding of lopinavir was statistically significantly lower in both mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to controls (99.09 vs. 99.31%, respectively). Lopinavir and ritonavir has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. Drug Interactions Lopinavir and ritonavir is an inhibitor of the P450 isoform CYP3A in vitro. Lopinavir and ritonavir does not inhibit CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2B6 or CYP1A2 at clinically relevant concentrations. Lopinavir and ritonavir has been shown in vivo to induce its own metabolism and to increase the biotransformation of some drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and by glucuronidation. The effects of co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir on the AUC, max and Cmin are summarized in Table 16 (effect of other drugs on lopinavir) and Table 17 (effect of lopinavir and ritonavir on other drugs). For information regarding clinical recommendations, see Table 12 in Drug Interactions (7). Table 16.

Kiser, et al. Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2008 Apr 15; 47(5):570-8. Parallel group design N/A Not available. 12.4Microbiology. Mechanism of ActionLopinavir, an inhibitor of the HIV-1 protease, prevents cleavage of the viral Gag-Pol polyprotein, resulting in the production of immature, non-infectious viral particles. Antiviral ActivityIn the absence of human serum, the mean 50% effective concentration (EC 50) values of lopinavir against five different HIV-1 subtype laboratory strains in lymphoblastic cell lines ranged from 10 to 27 nM (0.006 to 0.017 mcg/mL, mcg/mL 1.6 uM), and ranged from to 11 nM (0.003 to 0.007 mcg/mL) against several HIV-1 subtype clinical isolates in peripheral blood lymphocytes (n 6). In the presence of 50% human serum, the mean EC 50 values of lopinavir against these five HIV-1 laboratory strains ranged from 65 to 289 nM (0.04 to 0.18 mcg/mL), representing 7 to 11-fold attenuation. The EC 50 values of lopinavir against three different HIV-2 strains ranged from 12 to 180 nM (0.008 to 113 mcg/mL). ResistanceHIV-1 isolates with reduced susceptibility to lopinavir have been selected in cell culture. The presence of ritonavir does not appear to influence the selection of lopinavir-resistant viruses in cell culture. In study of 653 antiretroviral treatment-naive patients (Study 863), plasma viral isolates from each patient on treatment with plasma HIV-1 RNA >400 copies/mL at Week 24, 32, 40 and/or 48 were analyzed. No specific amino acid substitutions could be associated with resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir in the virus from 37 evaluable lopinavir and ritonavir-treated patients. The selection of resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir in antiretroviral treatment-naive pediatric patients (Study 940) appears to be consistent with that seen in adult patients (Study 863). Resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir has been noted to emerge in patients treated with other protease inhibitors prior to lopinavir and ritonavir therapy. In studies of 227 antiretroviral treatment-naive and protease inhibitor experienced patients, isolates from of 23 patients with quantifiable (>400 copies/mL) viral RNA following treatment with lopinavir and ritonavir for 12 to 100 weeks displayed significantly reduced susceptibility to lopinavir compared to the corresponding baseline viral isolates. All four of these patients had previously received treatment with at least one protease inhibitor and had at least substitutions associated with protease inhibitor resistance immediately prior to lopinavir and ritonavir therapy. Following viral rebound, isolates from these patients all contained additional substitutions, some of which are recognized to be associated with protease inhibitor resistance. Cross-resistance Nonclinical Studies Varying degrees of cross-resistance have been observed among HIV-1 protease inhibitors. The antiviral activity in cell culture of lopinavir against clinical isolates from patients previously treated with single protease inhibitor was determined (Table 18). Table 18. Susceptibility Reduction to Lopinavir Against Isolates from Patients Previously Treated With Single Protease Inhibitor Susceptibility reduced by >4 fold Susceptibility reduced to LPV Indinavir (n=16) 5.7 fold Nelfinavir (n=13) <4 fold Ritonavir (n=3) 8.32 fold Saquinavir (n=4) <4 fold Isolates from patients previously treated with two or more protease inhibitors showed greater reductions in susceptibility to lopinavir, as described in the following section.Clinical Studies Antiviral Activity of Lopinavir and Ritonavir in Patients with Previous Protease Inhibitor TherapiesThe clinical relevance of reduced susceptibility in cell culture to lopinavir has been examined by assessing the virologic response to lopinavir and ritonavir therapy in treatment-experienced patients, with respect to baseline viral genotype in three studies and baseline viral phenotype in one study. Virologic response to lopinavir and ritonavir has been shown to be affected by the presence of three or more of the following amino acid substitutions in protease at baseline: L10F/I/R/V, K20M/N/R, L24I, L33F, M36I, I47V, G48V, I54L/T/V, V82A/C/F/S/T, and I84V. Table 19 shows the 48-week virologic response (HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL) according to the number of the above protease inhibitor resistance-associated substitutions at baseline in studies 888 and 765 [see Clinical Studies (14.2)and (14.3)] and study 957 (see below). Once daily administration of lopinavir and ritonavir for adult patients with three or more of the above substitutions is not recommended. Table 19.

Virologic response to lopinavir and ritonavir therapy with respect to phenotypic susceptibility to lopinavir at baseline was examined in Study 957. In this study 56 NNRTI-naive patients with HIV-1 RNA >1,000 copies/mL despite previous therapy with at least two protease inhibitors selected from indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir were randomized to receive one of two doses of lopinavir and ritonavir in combination with efavirenz and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The EC 50 values of lopinavir against the 56 baseline viral isolates ranged from 0.5- to 96-fold the wild-type EC 50 value. Fifty-five percent (31/56) of these baseline isolates displayed >4-fold reduced susceptibility to lopinavir. These 31 isolates had median reduction in lopinavir susceptibility of 18-fold. Response to therapy by baseline lopinavir susceptibility is shown in Table 20. Table 20.

Study 802: Lopinavir and Ritonavir Tablets 800/200 mg Once Daily Versus 400/100 mg Twice Daily when Co-administered with Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in Antiretroviral-Experienced, HIV-1 Infected Subjects M06-802 was randomized open-label study comparing the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of once daily and twice daily dosing of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets in 599 subjects with detectable viral loads while receiving their current antiviral therapy. Of the enrolled subjects, 55% on both treatment arms had not been previously treated with protease inhibitor and 81 to 88% had received prior NNRTIs as part of their anti-HIV treatment regimen. Patients were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either lopinavir and ritonavir 800/200 mg once daily (n 300) or lopinavir and ritonavir 400/100 mg twice daily (n 299). Patients were administered at least two nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors selected by the investigator. Mean age of patients enrolled was 41 years (range: 21 to 73); 51% were Caucasian, and 66% were male. Mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 254 cells/mm (range: to 952 cells/mm 3) and mean baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.3 log 10 copies/mL (range: 1.7 to 6.6 log 10 copies/mL). Treatment response and outcomes of randomized treatment through Week 48 are presented in Table 25. Table 25. Outcomes of Randomized Treatment Through Week 48 (Study 802) Outcome Lopinavir and Ritonavir Once Daily NRTIs (n 300) Lopinavir and Ritonavir Twice Daily NRTIs (n 299) Virologic Success (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) 57% 54% Virologic failure 22% 24% No virologic data in Week 48 window Discontinued study due to adverse event or death 5% 7% Discontinued study for other reasons 13% 12% Missing data during window but on study 3% 3% Includes patients who discontinued prior to Week 48 for lack or loss of efficacy and patients with HIV-1 RNA >= 50 copies/mL at Week 48. Includes patients who discontinued due to adverse events or death at any time from Day through Week 48 if this resulted in no virologic data on treatment at Week 48. Includes withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, non-compliance, protocol violation and other reasons. Through 48 weeks of treatment, the mean change from baseline for CD4 cell count was 135 cells/mm for the once daily group and 122 cells/mm for the twice daily group. 14.3Other Studies Supporting Approval in Adult Patients. Study 720: Lopinavir and ritonavir twice daily stavudine lamivudineStudy 765: Lopinavir and ritonavir twice daily nevirapine NRTIsStudy 720 (patients without prior antiretroviral therapy) and study 765 (patients with prior protease inhibitor therapy) were randomized, blinded, multi-center trials evaluating treatment with lopinavir and ritonavir at up to three dose levels (200/100 mg twice daily [720 only], 400/100 mg twice daily, and 400/200 mg twice daily). In Study 720, all patients switched to 400/100 mg twice daily between Weeks 48 to 72. Patients in study 720 had mean age of 35 years, 70% were Caucasian, and 96% were male, while patients in study 765 had mean age of 40 years, 73% were Caucasian, and 90% were male. Mean (range) baseline CD4+ cell counts for patients in study 720 and study 765 were 338 (3 to 918) and 372 (72 to 807) cells/mm 3, respectively. Mean (range) baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA levels for patients in study 720 and study 765 were 4.9 (3.3 to 6.3) and 4.0 (2.9 to 5.8) log10 copies/mL, respectively. Through 360 weeks of treatment in study 720, the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA 400 (< 50) copies/mL was 61% (59%) [n 100]. Among patients completing 360 weeks of treatment with CD4+ cell count measurements [n=60], the mean (median) increase in CD4+ cell count was 501 (457) cells/mm 3. Thirty-nine patients (39%) discontinued the study, including 13 (13%) discontinuations due to adverse reactions and (1%) death. Through 144 weeks of treatment in study 765, the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA 400 (< 50) copies/mL was 54% (50%) [n 70], and the corresponding mean increase in CD4+ cell count was 212 cells/mm 3. Twenty-seven patients (39%) discontinued the study, including (7%) discontinuations secondary to adverse reactions and (3%) deaths. 14.4Pediatric Studies. Study 1030 was an open-label, multicenter, dose-finding trial evaluating the pharmacokinetic profile, tolerability, safety and efficacy of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution containing lopinavir 80 mg/mL and ritonavir 20 mg/mL at dose of 300/75 mg/m twice daily plus NRTIs in HIV-1 infected infants >=14 days and <6 months of age. Ten infants, >=14 days and <6 wks of age, were enrolled at median (range) age of 5.7 (3.6 to 6.0) weeks and all completed 24 weeks. At entry, median (range) HIV-1 RNA was 6.0 (4.7 to 7.2) log 10 copies/mL. Seven of 10 infants had HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at Week 24. At entry, median (range) CD4+ percentage was 41 (16 to 59) with median decrease of 1% (95% CI: -10, 18) from baseline to week 24 in infants with available data. Twenty-one infants, between weeks and months of age, were enrolled at median (range) age of 14.7 (6.9 to 25.7) weeks and 19 of 21 infants completed 24 weeks. At entry, median (range) HIV RNA level was 5.8 (3.7 to 6.9) log 10 copies/mL. Ten of 21 infants had HIV RNA <400 copies/mL at Week 24. At entry, the median (range) CD4+ percentage was 32 (11 to 54) with median increase of 4% (95% CI: -1, 9) from baseline to week 24 in 19 infants with available data [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) for pharmacokinetic results]. Study 940 was an open-label, multicenter trial evaluating the pharmacokinetic profile, tolerability, safety and efficacy of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution containing lopinavir 80 mg/mL and ritonavir 20 mg/mL in 100 antiretroviral naive (44%) and experienced (56%) pediatric patients. All patients were non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor naive. Patients were randomized to either 230 mg lopinavir/57.5 mg ritonavir per 2 or 300 mg lopinavir/75 mg ritonavir per 2. Naive patients also received lamivudine and stavudine. Experienced patients received nevirapine plus up to two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic profiles of the two dose regimens were assessed after three weeks of therapy in each patient. After analysis of these data, all patients were continued on the 300 mg lopinavir/75 mg ritonavir per m2 dose. Patients had mean age of years (range months to 12 years) with 14% less than years. Mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 838 cells/mm3 and mean baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.7 log 10 copies/mL. Through 48 weeks of therapy, the proportion of patients who achieved and sustained an HIV-1 RNA 400 copies/mL was 80% for antiretroviral naive patients and 71% for antiretroviral experienced patients. The mean increase from baseline in CD4+ cell count was 404 cells/mm for antiretroviral naive and 284 cells/mm for antiretroviral experienced patients treated through 48 weeks. At 48 weeks, two patients (2%) had prematurely discontinued the study. One antiretroviral naive patient prematurely discontinued secondary to an adverse reaction, while one antiretroviral experienced patient prematurely discontinued secondary to an HIV-1 related event. Dose selection in pediatric patients was based on the following: Among patients 14 days to months of age receiving 300/75 mg/m twice daily without nevirapine, plasma concentrations were lower than those observed in adults or in older children. This dose resulted in HIV-1 RNA 400 copies/mL in 55% of patients (70% in those initiating treatment at <6 weeks of age). Among patients months to 12 years of age, the 230/57.5 mg/m oral solution twice daily regimen without nevirapine and the 300/75 mg/m oral solution twice daily regimen with nevirapine provided lopinavir plasma concentrations similar to those obtained in adult patients receiving the 400/100 mg twice daily regimen (without nevirapine). These doses resulted in treatment benefit (proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA 400 copies/mL) similar to that seen in the adult clinical trials. Among patients 12 to 18 years of age receiving 400/100 mg/m2 or 480/120 mg/m (with efavirenz) twice daily, plasma concentrations were 60 to 100% higher than among to 12 year old patients receiving 230/57.5 mg/m 2. Mean apparent clearance was similar to that observed in adult patients receiving standard dose and in patients to 12 years of age. Although changes in HIV-1 RNA in patients with prior treatment failure were less than anticipated, the pharmacokinetic data supports use of similar dosing as in patients to 12 years of age, not to exceed the recommended adult dose. For all age groups, the body surface area dosing was converted to body weight dosing using the patients prescribed lopinavir dose.

Lopinavir and ritonavir tablets are not recommended for once daily dosing in pediatric patients younger than 18 years of age. Lopinavir and ritonavir 100/25 mg tablets should be considered only in children who have reliably demonstrated the ability to swallow the intact tablet. Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution is not recommended in neonates before postmenstrual age (first day of the mothers last menstrual period to birth plus the time elapsed after birth) of 42 weeks and postnatal age of at least 14 days has been attained [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution contains alcohol and propylene glycol. Total amounts of alcohol and propylene glycol from all medicines that are to be given to pediatric patients 14 days to months of age should be taken into account in order to avoid toxicity from these excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Overdosage (10)]. Pediatric Dosage Calculations Calculate the appropriate dose of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets for each individual pediatric patient based on body weight (kg) or body surface area (BSA) to avoid underdosing or exceeding the recommended adult dose.

Avoid use of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution in pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. Co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir can alter the plasma concentrations of other drugs and other drugs may alter the plasma concentrations of lopinavir. The potential for drug-drug interactions must be considered prior to and during therapy. (4, 5.1, 7, 12.3) 7.1 Potential for Lopinavir and Ritonavir to Affect Other Drugs. Lopinavir/ritonavir is an inhibitor of CYP3A and may increase plasma concentrations of agents that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Agents that are extensively metabolized by CYP3A and have high first pass metabolism appear to be the most susceptible to large increases in AUC (> 3-fold) when co-administered with lopinavir and ritonavir. Thus, co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir with drugs highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events is contraindicated. Co-administration with other CYP3A substrates may require dose adjustment or additional monitoring as shown in Table 12. Additionally, lopinavir and ritonavir induces glucuronidation. Published data suggest that lopinavir is an inhibitor of OATP1B1. These examples are guide and not considered comprehensive list of all possible drugs that may interact with lopinavir/ritonavir. The healthcare provider should consult appropriate references for comprehensive information. 7.2 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Lopinavir. Lopinavir/ritonavir is CYP3A substrate; therefore, drugs that induce CYP3A may decrease lopinavir plasma concentrations and reduce lopinavir and ritonavirs therapeutic effect. Although not observed in the lopinavir and ritonavir/ketoconazole drug interaction study, co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir and other drugs that inhibit CYP3A may increase lopinavir plasma concentrations.. 7.3 Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions. Table 12 provides listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions. Alteration in dose or regimen may be recommended based on drug interaction studies or predicted interaction [see Contraindications 4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] for magnitude of interaction. Table 12. Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Effect on Concentration of Lopinavir or Concomitant Drug Clinical Comments HIV-1 Antiviral Agents HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: fosamprenavir/ritonavir amprenavir lopinavir An increased rate of adverse reactions has been observed with co-administration of these medications. Appropriate doses of the combinations with respect to safety and efficacy have not been established. HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: indinavir indinavir Decrease indinavir dose to 600 mg twice daily, when co- administered with lopinavir and ritonavir400/100 mg twice daily. Lopinavir and ritonavir once daily has not been studied in combination with indinavir. HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: nelfinavir nelfinavir M8 metabolite of nelfinavir lopinavir Lopinavir and ritonavir once daily in combination with nelfinavir is not recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: ritonavir lopinavir Appropriate doses of additional ritonavir in combination with lopinavir and ritonavirwith respect to safety and efficacy have not been established. HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: saquinavir saquinavir The saquinavir dose is 1000 mg twice daily, when co- administered with lopinavir and ritonavir 400/100 mg twice daily. Lopinavir and ritonavir once daily has not been studied in combination with saquinavir. HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor: tipranavir lopinavir Co-administration with tipranavir (500 mg twice daily) and ritonavir (200 mg twice daily) is not recommended. HIV CCR5 Antagonist: maraviroc maraviroc When co-administered, patients should receive 150 mg twice daily of maraviroc. For further details see complete prescribing information for maraviroc. Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors: efavirenz, nevirapine lopinavir Increase the dose of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets to 500/125 mg when lopinavir and ritonavir tablet is co-administered with efavirenz or nevirapine. Lopinavir and ritonavir tablets once daily in combination with efavirenz or nevirapine is not recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor: delavirdine lopinavir Appropriate doses of the combination with respect to safety and efficacy have not been established. Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor: didanosine Lopinavir and ritonavir tablets can be administered simultaneously with didanosine without food. For lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution, it is recommended that didanosine be administered on an empty stomach; therefore, didanosine should be given one hour before or two hours after lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution (given with food). Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tenofovir Patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavir and tenofovir should be monitored for adverse reactions associated with tenofovir. Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors: abacavir zidovudine abacavir zidovudine The clinical significance of this potential interaction is unknown. Other Agents Alpha 1-Adrenoreceptor Antagonist: alfuzosin alfuzosin Contraindicated due to potential hypotension [see Contraindications (4)]. Antianginal: ranolazine ranolazine Contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions [see Contraindications (4)]. Antiarrhythmics: dronedarone dronedarone Contraindicated due to potential for cardiac arrhythmias [see Contraindications (4)]. Antiarrhythmics e.g. amiodarone, bepridil, lidocaine (systemic), quinidine antiarrhythmics Caution is warranted and therapeutic concentration monitoring (if available) is recommended for antiarrhythmics when co-administered with lopinavir and ritonavir. Anticancer Agents: abemaciclib, apalutamide, encorafenib, ibrutinib, ivosidenib, dasatinib, neratinib, nilotinib, venetoclax, vinblastine, vincristine anticancer agents lopinavir/ritonavir Apalutamide is contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir or to the class of protease inhibitors [see Contraindications (4)]. Avoid co-administration of encorafenib or ivosidenib with lopinavir and ritonavir due to potential risk of serious adverse events such as QT interval prolongation. If co-administration of encorafenib with lopinavir and ritonavir cannot be avoided, modify dose as recommended in encorafenib USPI. If co-administration of ivosidenib with lopinavir and ritonavir cannot be avoided, reduce ivosidenib dose to 250 mg once daily. Avoid use of neratinib, venetoclax or ibrutinib with lopinavir and ritonavir. For vincristine and vinblastine, consideration should be given to temporarily withholding the ritonavir--containing antiretroviral regimen in patients who develop significant hematologic or gastrointestinal side effects when lopinavir and ritonavir is administered concurrently with vincristine or vinblastine. If the antiretroviral regimen must be withheld for prolonged period, consideration should be given to initiating revised regimen that does not include CYP3A or P-gp inhibitor. decrease in the dosage or an adjustment of the dosing interval of nilotinib and dasatinib may be necessary for patients requiring co-administration with strong CYP3A inhibitors such as lopinavir and ritonavir. Please refer to the nilotinib and dasatinib prescribing information for dosing instructions. Anticoagulants: warfarin, rivaroxaban warfarin rivaroxaban Concentrations of warfarin may be affected. Initial frequent monitoring of the INR during lopinavir and ritonavir and warfarin co-administration is recommended. Avoid concomitant use of rivaroxaban and lopinavir and ritonavir. Co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir and rivaroxaban may lead to increased risk of bleeding. Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin lopinavir phenytoin Lopinavir and ritonavir may be less effective due to decreased lopinavir plasma concentrations in patients taking these agents concomitantly and should be used with caution. Lopinavir and ritonavir once daily in combination with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin is not recommended. In addition, co-administration of phenytoin and lopinavir and ritonavir may cause decreases in steady-state phenytoin concentrations. Phenytoin levels should be monitored when co-administering with lopinavir and ritonavir. Anticonvulsants: lamotrigine, valproate lamotrigine or <-> valproate dose increase of lamotrigine or valproate may be needed when co-administered with lopinavir and ritonavirand therapeutic concentration monitoring for lamotrigine may be indicated; particularly during dosage adjustments. Antidepressant: bupropion bupropion active metabolite, hydroxybupropion Patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavir and bupropion concurrently should be monitored for an adequate clinical response to bupropion. Antidepressant: trazodone trazodone Adverse reactions of nausea, dizziness, hypotension and syncope have been observed following co-administration of trazodone and ritonavir. lower dose of trazodone should be considered. Anti-infective: clarithromycin clarithromycin For patients with renal impairment, adjust clarithromycin dose as follows: For patients on lopinavir and ritonavir with CL CR 30 to 60 mL/min the dose of clarithromycin should be reduced by 50%. For patients on lopinavir and ritonavir with CL CR 30 mL/min the dose of clarithromycin should be decreased by 75%. No dose adjustment for patients with normal renal function is necessary. Antifungals: ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole isavuconazonium sulfate ketoconazole itraconazole voriconazole isavuconazonium High doses of ketoconazole (>200 mg/day) or itraconazole (> 200 mg/day) are not recommended. The coadministration of voriconazole and lopinavir and ritonavir should be avoided unless an assessment of the benefit/risk to the patient justifies the use of voriconazole. Isavuconazonium and lopinavir and ritonavir should be coadministered with caution. Alternative antifungal therapies should be considered in these patients. Anti-gout: colchicine colchicine Contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment [see Contraindications (4)]. For patients with normal renal or hepatic function: Treatment of gout flares-co-administration of colchicine in patients on lopinavir and ritonavir: 0.6 mg (1 tablet) 1 dose, followed by 0.3 mg (half tablet) hour later. Dose to be repeated no earlier than days. Prophylaxis of gout flares-co-administration of colchicine in patients on lopinavir and ritonavir: If the original colchicine regimen was 0.6 mg twice day, the regimen should be adjusted to 0.3 mg once day. If the original colchicine regimen was 0.6 mg once day, the regimen should be adjusted to 0.3 mg once every other day. Treatment of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)-co-administration of colchicine in patients on lopinavir and ritonavir: Maximum daily dose of 0.6 mg (may be given as 0.3 mg twice day). Antimycobacterial: rifampin lopinavir Contraindicated due to potential loss of virologic response and possible resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir or to the class of protease inhibitors or other co-administered antiretroviral agents [see Contraindications (4)]. Antimycobacterial: bedaquiline bedaquiline Bedaquiline should only be used with lopinavir and ritonavir if the benefit of co-administration outweighs the risk. Antimycobacterial: rifabutin rifabutin and rifabutin metabolite Dosage reduction of rifabutin by at least 75% of the usual dose of 300 mg/day is recommended (i.e., maximum dose of 150 mg every other day or three times per week). Increased monitoring for adverse reactions is warranted in patients receiving the combination. Further dosage reduction of rifabutin may be necessary. Antiparasitic: atovaquone atovaquone Clinical significance is unknown; however, increase in atovaquone doses may be needed. Antipsychotics: lurasidone pimozide lurasidone pimozide Contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions [see Contraindications (4)]. Contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as cardiac arrhythmias [see Contraindications (4)]. Antipsychotics: quetiapine quetiapine Initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir in patients taking quetiapine: Consider alternative antiretroviral therapy to avoid increases in quetiapine exposures. If coadministration is necessary, reduce the quetiapine dose to 1/6 of the current dose and monitor for quetiapine-associated adverse reactions. Refer to the quetiapine prescribing information for recommendations on adverse reaction monitoring. Initiation of quetiapine in patients taking lopinavir and ritonavir Refer to the quetiapine prescribing information for initial dosing and titration of quetiapine. Contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol ethinyl estradiol Because contraceptive steroid concentrations may be altered when lopinavir and ritonavir is co-administered with oral contraceptives or with the contraceptive patch, alternative methods of nonhormonal contraception are recommended. Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blockers: e.g. felodipine, nifedipine, nicardipine dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Clinical monitoring of patients is recommended and dose reduction of the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker may be considered. Disulfiram/metronidazole Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution contains alcohol, which can produce disulfiram-like reactions when co-administered with disulfiram or other drugs that produce this reaction (e.g., metronidazole). Endothelin Receptor Antagonists: bosentan bosentan Co-administration of bosentan in patients on lopinavir and ritonavir: In patients who have been receiving lopinavir and ritonavir for at least 10 days, start bosentan at 62.5 mg once daily or every other day based upon individual tolerability. Co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir in patients on bosentan: Discontinue use of bosentan at least 36 hours prior to initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir. After at least 10 days following the initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir, resume bosentan at 62.5 mg once daily or every other day based upon individual tolerability. Ergot Derivatives: dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine ergot derivatives Contraindicated due to potential for acute ergot toxicity characterized by peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues [see Contraindications 4)]. GI Motility Agent: cisapride cisapride Contraindicated due to potential for cardiac arrhythmias [see Contraindications (4)]. GnRH Receptor Antagonists: elagolix elagolix lopinavir/ritonavir Concomitant use of elagolix 200 mg twice daily and lopinavir and ritonavir for more than month is not recommended due to potential risk of adverse events such as bone loss and hepatic transaminase elevations. Limit concomitant use of elagolix 150 mg once daily and lopinavir and ritonavir to months. Hepatitis direct acting antiviral: elbasvir/grazoprevir elbasvir/grazoprevir Contraindicated due to increased risk of alanine transaminase (ALT) elevations [see Contraindications (4)]. Hepatitis direct acting antivirals: boceprevir glecaprevir/pibrentasvir simeprevir sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir lopinavir boceprevir ritonavir glecaprevir pibrentasvir simeprevir sofosbuvir velpatasvir voxilaprevir ombitasvir paritaprevir ritonavir <-> dasabuvir It is not recommended to co-administer lopinavir and ritonavirand boceprevir, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, simeprevir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, or ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir. Herbal Products: St. Johns Wort (hypericum perforatum) lopinavir Contraindicated due to potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance to lopinavir and ritonavir or to the class of protease inhibitors [see Contraindications (4)]. Lipid-modifying agents HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors: lovastatin simvastatin atorvastatin rosuvastatin Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) Inhibitor: lomitapide lovastatin simvastatin atorvastatin rosuvastatin lomitapide Contraindicated due to potential for myopathy including rhabdomyolysis [see Contraindications (4)]. Use atorvastatin with caution and at the lowest necessary dose. Titrate rosuvastatin dose carefully and use the lowest necessary dose; do not exceed rosuvastatin 10 mg/day. Lomitapide is sensitive substrate for CYP3A4 metabolism. CYP3A4 inhibitors increase the exposure of lomitapide, with strong inhibitors increasing exposure approximately 27-fold. Concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with lomitapide is contraindicated due to potential for hepatotoxicity [see Contraindications (4)]. Immunosuppressants: e.g. cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus immunosuppressants Therapeutic concentration monitoring is recommended for immunosuppressant agents when co-administered with lopinavir and ritonavir. Kinase Inhibitors: fostamatinib (also see anticancer agents above) fostamatinib metabolite R406 Monitor for toxicities of R406 such as hepatotoxicity and neutropenia. Fostamatinib dose reduction may be required. Long-acting beta-adrenoceptor Agonist: salmeterol salmeterol Concurrent administration of salmeterol and lopinavir and ritonavir is not recommended. The combination may result in increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events associated with salmeterol, including QT prolongation, palpitations and sinus tachycardia. Narcotic Analgesics: methadone, fentanyl methadone fentanyl Dosage of methadone may need to be increased when co-administered with lopinavir and ritonavir. Careful monitoring of therapeutic and adverse effects (including potentially fatal respiratory depression) is recommended when fentanyl is concomitantly administered with lopinavir and ritonavir. PDE5 inhibitors: avanafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil avanafil sildenafil tadalafil vardenafil Sildenafil when used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (Revatio (R)) is contraindicated due to the potential for sildenafil-associated adverse events, including visual abnormalities, hypotension, prolonged erection, and syncope [see Contraindications (4)]. Do not use lopinavir and ritonavir with avanafil because safe and effective avanafil dosage regimen has not been established. Particular caution should be used when prescribing sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil in patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavir. Co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir with these drugs may result in an increase in PDE5 inhibitor associated adverse reactions including hypotension, syncope, visual changes and prolonged erection. Use of PDE5 inhibitors for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): Sildenafil (Revatio (R)) is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. The following dose adjustments are recommended for use of tadalafil (Adcirca(R)) with lopinavir and ritonavir: o-administration of ADCIRCAin patients on Lopinavir and Ritonavir: In patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavirfor at least one week, start ADCIRCA at 20 mg once daily. Increase to 40 mg once daily based upon individual tolerability. o-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir in patients on ADCIRCA: Avoid use of ADCIRCA during the initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir. Stop ADCIRCA at least 24 hours prior to starting lopinavir and ritonavir. After at least one week following the initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir, resume ADCIRCA at 20 mg once daily. Increase to 40 mg once daily based upon individual tolerability. Use of PDE5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction: It is recommended not to exceed the following doses: Sildenafil: 25 mg every 48 hours Tadalafil: 10 mg every 72 hours Vardenafil: 2.5 mg every 72 hours Use with increased monitoring for adverse events. Sedative/Hypnotics: triazolam, orally administered midazolam triazolam midazolam Contraindicated due to potential for prolonged or increased sedation or respiratory depression [see Contraindications (4)]. Sedative/Hypnotics: parenterally administered midazolam midazolam If lopinavir and ritonavir is co-administered with parenteral midazolam, close clinical monitoring for respiratory depression and/or prolonged sedation should be exercised and dosage adjustment should be considered. Systemic/Inhaled/Nasal/ Ophthalmic Corticosteroids: e.g., betamethasone budesonide ciclesonide dexamethasone fluticasone methylprednisolone mometasone prednisone triamcinolone lopinavir glucocorticoids Coadministration with oral dexamethasone or other systemic corticosteroids that induce CYP3A may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to lopinavir. Consider alternative corticosteroids. Coadministration with corticosteroids whose exposures are significantly increased by strong CYP3A inhibitors can increase the risk for Cushings syndrome and adrenal suppression. Alternative corticosteroids including beclomethasone and prednisolone (whose PK and/or PD are less affected by strong CYP3A inhibitors relative to other studied steroids) should be considered, particularly for long-term use. see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) for magnitude of interaction. refers to interaction with apalutamide. For patients on lopinavir and ritonavir with CL CR 30 to 60 mL/min the dose of clarithromycin should be reduced by 50%. For patients on lopinavir and ritonavir with CL CR 30 mL/min the dose of clarithromycin should be decreased by 75%. Sildenafil: 25 mg every 48 hours Tadalafil: 10 mg every 72 hours Vardenafil: 2.5 mg every 72 hours. 7.4Drugs with No Observed or Predicted Interactions with Lopinavir and Ritonavir. Drug interaction or clinical studies reveal no clinically significant interaction between lopinavir and ritonavir and desipramine (CYP2D6 probe), etravirine, pitavastatin, pravastatin, stavudine, lamivudine, omeprazole, raltegravir, ranitidine, or rilpivirine. Based on known metabolic profiles, clinically significant drug interactions are not expected between lopinavir and ritonavir and dapsone, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, azithromycin, erythromycin, or fluconazole.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic properties of lopinavir are summarized in Table 13. The steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters of lopinavir are summarized in Table 14. Under fed conditions, lopinavir concentrations were similar following administration of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets to capsules with less pharmacokinetic variability. Under fed conditions (500 kcal, 25% from fat), lopinavir concentrations were similar following administration of lopinavir and ritonavir capsules and oral solution.Table 13.

Yet this decrease is not considered clinically relevant in patients with no documented lopinavir and ritonavir-associated resistance substitutions receiving 400 mg/100 mg twice daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Renal Impairment Lopinavir pharmacokinetics have not been studied in patients with renal impairment; however, since the renal clearance of lopinavir is negligible, decrease in total body clearance is not expected in patients with renal impairment. Hepatic Impairment Multiple dosing of lopinavir and ritonavir 400/100 mg twice daily to HIV-1 and HCV co-infected patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (n 12) resulted in 30% increase in lopinavir AUC and 20% increase in max compared to HIV-1 infected subjects with normal hepatic function (n 12). Additionally, the plasma protein binding of lopinavir was statistically significantly lower in both mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to controls (99.09 vs. 99.31%, respectively). Lopinavir and ritonavir has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. Drug Interactions Lopinavir and ritonavir is an inhibitor of the P450 isoform CYP3A in vitro. Lopinavir and ritonavir does not inhibit CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2B6 or CYP1A2 at clinically relevant concentrations. Lopinavir and ritonavir has been shown in vivo to induce its own metabolism and to increase the biotransformation of some drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and by glucuronidation. The effects of co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir on the AUC, max and Cmin are summarized in Table 16 (effect of other drugs on lopinavir) and Table 17 (effect of lopinavir and ritonavir on other drugs). For information regarding clinical recommendations, see Table 12 in Drug Interactions (7). Table 16.

PREGNANCY SECTION.

8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Exposure RegistryThere is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to lopinavir and ritonavir during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Available data from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry show no difference in the risk of overall major birth defects compared to the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in the U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) (see Data). The estimated background rate of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15 to 20%. The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Methodological limitations of the APR include the use of MACDP as the external comparator group. The MACDP population is not disease-specific, evaluates women and infants from limited geographic area, and does not include outcomes for births that occurred at <20 weeks gestation (see Data). No treatment-related malformations were observed when lopinavir in combination with ritonavir was administered to pregnant rats or rabbits; however embryonic and fetal developmental toxicities occurred in rats administered maternally toxic doses. Clinical Considerations Dose Adjustments During Pregnancy and the Postpartum PeriodAdminister 400/100 mg of lopinavir and ritonavir twice daily in pregnant patients with no documented lopinavir-associated resistance substitutions [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. There are insufficient data to recommend lopinavir and ritonavir dosing for pregnant patients with any documented lopinavir-associated resistance substitutions. No dose adjustment of lopinavir and ritonavir is required for patients during the postpartum period. Once daily lopinavir and ritonavir dosing is not recommended in pregnancy. Avoid use of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution during pregnancy due to the alcohol content. Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution contains the excipients alcohol and propylene glycol. Data Human Data Lopinavir and ritonavir was evaluated in 12 HIV-infected pregnant women in an open-label pharmacokinetic trial [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. No new trends in the safety profile were identified in pregnant women dosed with lopinavir and ritonavir compared to the safety described in non-pregnant adults, based on the review of these limited data. Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry Data: Based on prospective reports from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) of over 3,000 exposures to lopinavir containing regimens (including over 1,000 exposed in the first trimester), there was no difference between lopinavir and overall birth defects compared with the background birth defect rate of 2.7% in the U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program. The prevalence of birth defects in live births was 2.1% (95% CI:1.4%-3.0%) following first-trimester exposure to lopinavir-containing regimens and 3.0% (95% CI: 2.4%-3.8%) following second and third trimester exposure to lopinavir-containing regimens. Based on prospective reports from the APR of over 5,000 exposures to ritonavir containing regimens (including over 2,000 exposures in the first trimester) there was no difference between ritonavir and overall birth defects compared with the U.S. background rate (MACDP). The prevalence of birth defects in live births was 2.2% (95% CI: 1.7%-2.8%) following first-trimester exposure to ritonavir-containing regimens and 2.9% (95% CI: 2.4%-3.6%) following second and third trimester exposure to ritonavir-containing regimens. For both lopinavir and ritonavir, sufficient numbers of first trimester exposures have been monitored to detect at least 1.5 fold increase in risk of overall birth defects and 2 fold increase in risk of birth defects in the cardiovascular and genitourinary systems. Animal Data Embryonic and fetal developmental toxicities (early resorption, decreased fetal viability, decreased fetal body weight, increased incidence of skeletal variations and skeletal ossification delays) occurred in rats administered lopinavir in combination with ritonavir (on gestation days to 17) at maternally toxic dosage. Based on AUC measurements, the drug exposures in rats at the toxic doses were approximately 0.7 times (for lopinavir) and 1.8 times (for ritonavir) the exposures in humans at the recommended therapeutic dose (400/100 mg twice daily). In pre- and post-natal study in rats, developmental toxicity (a decrease in survival in pups between birth and postnatal Day 21) occurred. No embryonic and fetal developmental toxicities were observed in rabbits administered lopinavir in combination with ritonavir (on gestation days to 18) at maternally toxic dosage. Based on AUC measurements, the drug exposures in rabbits at the toxic doses were approximately 0.6 times (for lopinavir) and similar to (for ritonavir) the exposures in humans at the recommended therapeutic dose (400/100 mg twice daily).

Risk Summary The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that HIV-1 infected mothers not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of HIV-1. Because of the potential for: 1) HIV transmission (in HIV-negative infants), 2) developing viral resistance (in HIV-positive infants), and 3) adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are receiving lopinavir and ritonavir.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Contraception Use of lopinavir and ritonavir may reduce the efficacy of combined hormonal contraceptives. Advise patients using combined hormonal contraceptives to use an effective alternative contraceptive method or an additional barrier method of contraception [see Drug Interactions (7.3)]. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profiles of lopinavir and ritonavir in pediatric patients below the age of 14 days have not been established. Lopinavir and ritonavir should not be administered once daily in pediatric patients. An open-label, multi-center, dose-finding trial was performed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile, tolerability, safety and efficacy of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution containing lopinavir 80 mg/mL and ritonavir 20 mg/mL at dose of 300/75 mg/m twice daily plus two NRTIs in HIV-infected infants >=14 days and 6 months of age. Results revealed that infants younger than months of age generally had lower lopinavir AUC 12 than older children (6 months to 12 years of age), however, despite the lower lopinavir drug exposure observed, antiviral activity was demonstrated as reflected in the proportion of subjects who achieved HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at Week 24 [see Adverse Reactions (6.2),Clinical Pharmacology (12.3),Clinical Studies (14.4)]. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients 6 months of age was demonstrated in clinical trial in 100 patients. The clinical trial was an open-label, multicenter trial evaluating the pharmacokinetic profile, tolerability, safety, and efficacy of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution containing lopinavir 80 mg/mL and ritonavir 20 mg/mL in 100 antiretroviral naive and experienced pediatric patients ages months to 12 years. Dose selection for patients months to 12 years of age was based on the following results. The 230/57.5 mg/m oral solution twice daily regimen without nevirapine and the 300/75 mg/m oral solution twice daily regimen with nevirapine provided lopinavir plasma concentrations similar to those obtained in adult patients receiving the 400/100 mg twice daily regimen (without nevirapine) [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.4)]. prospective multicenter, open-label trial evaluated the pharmacokinetic profile, tolerability, safety and efficacy of high-dose lopinavir and ritonavir with or without concurrent NNRTI therapy (Group 1: 400/100 mg/m twice daily >= NRTIs; Group 2: 480/120 mg/m2 twice daily >= NRTI 1 NNRTI) in 26 children and adolescents >= years to 18 years of age who had failed prior therapy. Patients also had saquinavir mesylate added to their regimen. This strategy was intended to assess whether higher than approved doses of lopinavir and ritonavir could overcome protease inhibitor cross-resistance. High doses of lopinavir and ritonavir exhibited safety profile similar to those observed in previous trials; changes in HIV-1 RNA were less than anticipated; three patients had HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at Week 48. CD4+ cell count increases were noted in the eight patients who remained on treatment for 48 weeks [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. prospective multicenter, randomized, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of twice-daily versus once-daily dosing of lopinavir and ritonavir tablets dosed by weight as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected children (n=173). Children were eligible when they were aged 18 years, >= 15 kg in weight, receiving cART that included lopinavir and ritonavir tablets, HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) 50 copies/mL for at least 24 weeks and able to swallow tablets. At week 24, efficacy (defined as the proportion of subjects with plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL) was significantly higher in subjects receiving twice daily dosing compared to subjects receiving once daily dosing. The safety profile was similar between the two treatment arms although there was greater incidence of diarrhea in the once daily treated subjects. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Clinical studies of lopinavir and ritonavir did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, appropriate caution should be exercised in the administration and monitoring of lopinavir and ritonavir in elderly patients reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.. 8.6Hepatic Impairment. Lopinavir and ritonavir is principally metabolized by the liver; therefore, caution should be exercised when administering this drug to patients with hepatic impairment, because lopinavir concentrations may be increased [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. The following have been observed in patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavir: The concomitant use of lopinavir and ritonavir and certain other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions. Consult the full prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug interactions. 5.1, 7.3) Toxicity in preterm neonates: Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution should not be used in preterm neonates in the immediate postnatal period because of possible toxicities. safe and effective dose of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution in this patient population has not been established. (2.4, 5.2) Pancreatitis: Fatalities have occurred; suspend therapy as clinically appropriate. (5.3) Hepatotoxicity: Fatalities have occurred. Monitor liver function before and during therapy, especially in patients with underlying hepatic disease, including hepatitis and hepatitis C, or marked transaminase elevations. 5.4, 8.6) QT interval prolongation and isolated cases of torsade de pointes have been reported although causality could not be established. Avoid use in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, those with hypokalemia, and with other drugs that prolong the QT interval. 5.1, 5.5, 12.3) PR interval prolongation may occur in some patients. Cases of second and third degree heart block have been reported. Use with caution in patients with pre-existing conduction system disease, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, underlying structural heart disease or when administering with other drugs that may prolong the PR interval. 5.1, 5.6, 12.3) Patients may develop new onset or exacerbations of diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia (5.7),immune reconstitution syndrome. (5.8), redistribution/accumulation of body fat. (5.10) Total cholesterol and triglycerides elevations. Monitor prior to therapy and periodically thereafter. (5.9) Hemophilia: Spontaneous bleeding may occur, and additional factor VIII may be required. (5.11) 5.1 Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions Due to Drug Interactions. Initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir, CYP3A inhibitor, in patients receiving medications metabolized by CYP3A or initiation of medications metabolized by CYP3A in patients already receiving lopinavir and ritonavir, may increase plasma concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP3A. Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease concentrations of lopinavir and ritonavir, respectively. These interactions may lead to: Clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications. Clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of lopinavir and ritonavir. Loss of therapeutic effect of lopinavir and ritonavir and possible development of resistance. See Table 12 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations [see Drug Interactions (7)]. Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during lopinavir and ritonavir therapy; review concomitant medications during lopinavir and ritonavir therapy, and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the concomitant medications [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7)]. 5.2 Toxicity in Preterm Neonates. Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution contains the excipients alcohol and propylene glycol. When administered concomitantly with propylene glycol, alcohol competitively inhibits the metabolism of propylene glycol, which may lead to elevated concentrations. Preterm neonates may be at increased risk of propylene glycol-associated adverse events due to diminished ability to metabolize propylene glycol, thereby leading to accumulation and potential adverse events. Postmarketing life-threatening cases of cardiac toxicity (including complete AV block, bradycardia, and cardiomyopathy), lactic acidosis, acute renal failure, CNS depression and respiratory complications leading to death have been reported, predominantly in preterm neonates receiving lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution. Lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution should not be used in preterm neonates in the immediate postnatal period because of possible toxicities. safe and effective dose of lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution in this patient population has not been established. However, if the benefit of using lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution to treat HIV infection in infants immediately after birth outweighs the potential risks, infants should be monitored closely for increases in serum osmolality and serum creatinine, and for toxicity related to lopinavir and ritonavir oral solution including: hyperosmolality, with or without lactic acidosis, renal toxicity, CNS depression (including stupor, coma, and apnea), seizures, hypotonia, cardiac arrhythmias and ECG changes, and hemolysis. Total amounts of alcohol and propylene glycol from all medicines that are to be given to infants should be taken into account in order to avoid toxicity from these excipients [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Overdosage (10)]. 5.3 Pancreatitis. Pancreatitis has been observed in patients receiving lopinavir and ritonavir therapy, including those who developed marked triglyceride elevations. In some cases, fatalities have been observed. Although causal relationship to lopinavir and ritonavir has not been established, marked triglyceride elevations are risk factor for development of pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]. Patients with advanced HIV-1 disease may be at increased risk of elevated triglycerides and pancreatitis, and patients with history of pancreatitis may be at increased risk for recurrence during lopinavir and ritonavir therapy. Pancreatitis should be considered if clinical symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain) or abnormalities in laboratory values (such as increased serum lipase or amylase values) suggestive of pancreatitis occur. Patients who exhibit these signs or symptoms should be evaluated and lopinavir and ritonavir and/or other antiretroviral therapy should be suspended as clinically appropriate. 5.4Hepatotoxicity. Patients with underlying hepatitis or or marked elevations in transaminase prior to treatment may be at increased risk for developing or worsening of transaminase elevations or hepatic decompensation with use of lopinavir and ritonavir.There have been postmarketing reports of hepatic dysfunction, including some fatalities. These have generally occurred in patients with advanced HIV-1 disease taking multiple concomitant medications in the setting of underlying chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. causal relationship with lopinavir and ritonavir therapy has not been established.Elevated transaminases with or without elevated bilirubin levels have been reported in HIV-1 mono-infected and uninfected patients as early as days after the initiation of lopinavir and ritonavir in conjunction with other antiretroviral agents. In some cases, the hepatic dysfunction was serious; however, definitive causal relationship with lopinavir and ritonavir therapy has not been established. Appropriate laboratory testing should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with lopinavir and ritonavir and patients should be monitored closely during treatment. Increased AST/ALT monitoring should be considered in the patients with underlying chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, especially during the first several months of lopinavir and ritonavir treatment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. 5.5QT Interval Prolongation. Postmarketing cases of QT interval prolongation and torsade de pointes have been reported although causality of lopinavir and ritonavir could not be established. Avoid use in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, those with hypokalemia, and with other drugs that prolong the QT interval [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 5.6PR Interval Prolongation. Lopinavir/ritonavir prolongs the PR interval in some patients. Cases of second or third degree atrioventricular block have been reported. Lopinavir and ritonavir should be used with caution in patients with underlying structural heart disease, pre-existing conduction system abnormalities, ischemic heart disease or cardiomyopathies, as these patients may be at increased risk for developing cardiac conduction abnormalities. The impact on the PR interval of co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir with other drugs that prolong the PR interval (including calcium channel blockers, beta-adrenergic blockers, digoxin and atazanavir) has not been evaluated. As result, co-administration of lopinavir and ritonavir with these drugs should be undertaken with caution, particularly with those drugs metabolized by CYP3A. Clinical monitoring is recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 5.7Diabetes Mellitus/Hyperglycemia. New onset diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of pre-existing diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia have been reported during post-marketing surveillance in HIV-1 infected patients receiving protease inhibitor therapy. Some patients required either initiation or dose adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of these events. In some cases, diabetic ketoacidosis has occurred. In those patients who discontinued protease inhibitor therapy, hyperglycemia persisted in some cases. Because these events have been reported voluntarily during clinical practice, estimates of frequency cannot be made and causal relationship between protease inhibitor therapy and these events has not been established. Consider monitoring for hyperglycemia, new onset diabetes mellitus or an exacerbation of diabetes mellitus in patients treated with lopinavir and ritonavir.. 5.8Immune Reconstitution Syndrome. Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including lopinavir and ritonavir. 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, and Guillain-Barre syndrome) 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. 5.9Lipid Elevations. Treatment with lopinavir and ritonavir has resulted in large increases in the concentration of total cholesterol and triglycerides [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Triglyceride and cholesterol testing should be performed prior to initiating lopinavir and ritonavir therapy and at periodic intervals during therapy. Lipid disorders should be managed as clinically appropriate, taking into account any potential drug-drug interactions with lopinavir and ritonavir and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors [see Contraindications (4)and Drug Interactions (7.3)]. 5.10 Fat Redistribution. Redistribution/accumulation of body fat including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and cushingoid appearance have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. causal relationship has not been established.. 5.11 Patients with Hemophilia. Increased bleeding, including spontaneous skin hematomas and hemarthrosis have been reported in patients with hemophilia type and treated with protease inhibitors. In some patients additional factor VIII was given. In more than half of the reported cases, treatment with protease inhibitors was continued or reintroduced. causal relationship between protease inhibitor therapy and these events has not been established.. 5.12 Resistance/Cross-resistance. Because the potential for HIV cross-resistance among protease inhibitors has not been fully explored in lopinavir and ritonavir-treated patients, it is unknown what effect therapy with lopinavir and ritonavir will have on the activity of subsequently administered protease inhibitors [see Microbiology (12.4)].
