INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS SECTION.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION. Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).Important Information for Uninfected Individuals Taking Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP Advise HIV-uninfected individuals about the following [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] The need to confirm that they are HIV-negative before starting to take emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV-1.That HIV-1 resistance substitutions may emerge in individuals with undetected HIV-1 infection who are taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, because emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate alone does not constitute complete regimen for HIV-1 treatment.The importance of taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate on regular dosing schedule and strict adherence to the recommended dosing schedule to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV-1. Uninfected individuals who miss doses are at greater risk of acquiring HIV-1 than those who do not miss doses.That emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate does not prevent other sexually acquired infections and should only be used as part of complete prevention strategy including other prevention measures.To use condoms consistently and correctly to lower the chances of sexual contact with any body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, or blood.The importance of knowing their HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of their partner(s).The importance of virologic suppression in their partner(s) with HIV-1.The need to get tested regularly for HIV-1 (at least every months, or more frequently for some individuals such as adolescents) and to ask their partner(s) to get tested as well.To report any symptoms of acute HIV-1 infection (flu-like symptoms) to their healthcare provider immediately.That the signs and symptoms of acute infection include fever, headache, fatigue, arthralgia, vomiting, myalgia, diarrhea, pharyngitis, rash, night sweats, and adenopathy (cervical and inguinal).To get tested for other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, that may facilitate HIV-1 transmission.To assess their sexual risk behavior and get support to help reduce sexual risk behavior.Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis in Patients Infected with HBV Inform individuals that severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis have been reported in patients who are infected with HBV and have discontinued emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Advise HBV-infected individuals to not discontinue emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate without first informing their healthcare provider. New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment Inform HIV-1 infected patients and uninfected individuals that renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome, has been reported in association with the use of TDF, component of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet. Advise patients to avoid emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic agent (e.g., high-dose or multiple NSAIDs) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] The dosing interval of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may need adjustment in HIV-1 infected patients with renal impairment. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP should not be used in HIV-1 uninfected individuals if estimated creatinine clearance is less than 60 mL/min. If decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed in uninfected individuals while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)] Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Inform HIV-1 infected patients that in some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started. It is believed that these symptoms are due to an improvement in the bodys immune response, enabling the body to fight infections that may have been present with no obvious symptoms. Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Bone Loss and Mineralization Defects Inform patients that decreases in bone mineral density have been observed with the use of TDF or emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Consider bone monitoring in patients and uninfected individuals who have history of pathologic bone fracture or at risk for osteopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Lactic Acidosis and Severe Hepatomegaly Inform HIV-1 infected patients and uninfected individuals that lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported. Treatment with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be suspended in any person who develops clinical symptoms suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] Drug Interactions Advise individuals that emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may interact with many drugs; therefore, advise individuals to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other medication, including other HIV drugs and drugs for treatment of hepatitis virus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) and Drug Interactions (7)]. Dosage Recommendations for Treatment of HIV-1 Infection Inform HIV-1 infected patients that it is important to take emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1 on regular dosing schedule with or without food and to avoid missing doses as it can result in development of resistance.Pregnancy Registry Inform individuals using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 treatment or HIV-1 PrEP that there is an antiretroviral pregnancy registry to monitor fetal outcomes of pregnant women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Lactation Instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection or if acute HIV-1 infection is suspected in mother taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP because of the risk of passing the HIV-1 virus to the baby. In HIV-uninfected women, the benefits and risks of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate while breastfeeding should be evaluated, including the risk of HIV-1 acquisition due to medication nonadherence and subsequent mother to child transmission [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

Immune Reconstitution Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] . Bone Loss and Mineralization Defects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)] . Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] . In HIV-1 infected patients, the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 10%) are diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, insomnia, abnormal dreams, and rash. 6.1) In HIV-1 uninfected adults in PrEP trials, adverse reactions that were reported by more than 2% of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate participants and more frequently than by placebo participants were headache, abdominal pain, and weight decreased. 6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AvKARE at 1-855-361-3993 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. In HIV-1 infected patients, the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 10%) are diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, insomnia, abnormal dreams, and rash. 6.1) In HIV-1 uninfected adults in PrEP trials, adverse reactions that were reported by more than 2% of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate participants and more frequently than by placebo participants were headache, abdominal pain, and weight decreased. 6.1) 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction 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 practice. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials Experience in HIV-1 Infected Subjects Clinical Trials in Adult Subjects In Study 934, 511 antiretroviral-naive subjects received efavirenz (EFV) administered in combination with either FTC+TDF (N=257) or zidovudine (AZT)/lamivudine (3TC) (N=254) for 144 weeks. The most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 10%, all grades) included diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, insomnia, abnormal dreams, and rash. Table provides the treatment-emergent adverse reactions (Grades to 4) occurring in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects treated in any treatment group. Skin discoloration, manifested by hyperpigmentation, occurred in 3% of subjects taking FTC+TDF, and was generally mild and asymptomatic. The mechanism and clinical significance are unknown. Table Selected Adverse Reactions (Grades to 4) Reported in 5% in Any Treatment Group in Study 934 (0 to 144 Weeks) FTC+TDF+EFV AZT/3TC+EFVN=257N=254Fatigue 9% 8% Depression 9% 7% Nausea 9% 7% Diarrhea 9% 5% Dizziness 8% 7% Upper respiratory tract infections 8% 5% Sinusitis 8% 4% Rash event 7% 9% Headache 6% 5% Insomnia 5% 7% Nasopharyngitis 5% 3% Vomiting 2% 5% a. Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of relationship to study drug. b. From Weeks 96 to 144 of the trial, subjects received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with efavirenz in place of FTC+TDF with efavirenz. c. Rash event includes rash, exfoliative rash, rash generalized, rash macular, rash maculo-papular, rash pruritic, and rash vesicular. Laboratory Abnormalities: Laboratory abnormalities observed in this trial were generally consistent with those seen in other trials of TDF and/or FTC (Table 4). Table Significant Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in 1% of Subjects in Any Treatment Group in Study 934 (0 to 144 Weeks) FTC+TDF+EFV AZT/3TC+EFVN=257N=254Any Grade Laboratory Abnormality 30% 26% Fasting Cholesterol (> 240 mg/dL) 22% 24% Creatine Kinase (M: 990 U/L) (F: 845 U/L) 9% 7% Serum Amylase (> 175 U/L) 8% 4% Alkaline Phosphatase (> 550 U/L) 1% 0% AST (M: >180 U/L) (F: >170 U/L) 3% 3% ALT (M: 215 U/L) (F: 170 U/L) 2% 3% Hemoglobin (< 8.0 mg/dL) 0% 4% Hyperglycemia (> 250 mg/dL) 2% 1% Hematuria (> 75 RBC/HPF) 3% 2% Glycosuria > 3+) <1% 1% Neutrophils (< 750/mm 3) 3% 5% Fasting Triglycerides (> 750 mg/dL) 4% 2% a. From Weeks 96 to 144 of the trial, subjects received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with efavirenz in place of FTC+TDF with efavirenz.Clinical Trials in Pediatric Subjects Emtricitabine: In addition to the adverse reactions reported in adults, anemia and hyperpigmentation were observed in 7% and 32%, respectively, of pediatric subjects (3 months to less than 18 years of age) who received treatment with FTC in the larger of two open-label, uncontrolled pediatric trials (N=116). Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: In pediatric clinical trials (Studies 352 and 321) conducted in 184 HIV-1 infected subjects to less than 18 years of age, the adverse reactions observed in pediatric subjects who received treatment with TDF were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of TDF in adults. In Study 352 (2 to less than 12 years of age), 89 pediatric subjects received TDF for median exposure of 104 weeks. Of these, subjects discontinued from the trial due to adverse reactions consistent with proximal renal tubulopathy. Three of these subjects presented with hypophosphatemia and had decreases in total body or spine BMD Z-score [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Total body BMD gain at Week 48 was less in the TDF group compared to the stavudine (d4T) or zidovudine (AZT) treatment groups. The mean rate of BMD gain in lumbar spine was similar between treatment groups. One TDF-treated subject and none of the d4T- or AZT-treated subjects experienced significant (greater than 4%) lumbar spine BMD loss at Week 48. Changes from baseline in BMD Z-scores were -0.012 for lumbar spine and -0.338 for total body in the 64 subjects who were treated with TDF for 96 weeks. In Study 321 (12 to less than 18 years of age), the mean rate of BMD gain at Week 48 was less in the TDF compared to the placebo treatment group. Six TDF-treated subjects and one placebo-treated subject had significant (greater than 4%) lumbar spine BMD loss at Week 48. Changes from baseline BMD Z-scores were -0.341 for lumbar spine and -0.458 for total body in the 28 subjects who were treated with TDF for 96 weeks. In both trials, skeletal growth (height) appeared to be unaffected. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trial Experience in Uninfected Subjects Taking Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP Clinical Trials in Adult Subjects The safety profile of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP was comparable to that observed in clinical trials of HIV-infected subjects based on two randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials (iPrEx, Partners PrEP) in which 2,830 HIV-1 uninfected adults received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate once daily for HIV-1 PrEP. Subjects were followed for median of 71 weeks and 87 weeks, respectively. Table provides list of selected adverse events that occurred in 2% or more of subjects in any treatment group in the iPrEx trial, with an incidence greater than placebo. Table Selected Adverse Events (All Grades) Reported in 2% in Any Treatment Group in the iPrEx Trial and Greater than Placebo FTC/TDF (N=1251) Placebo (N=1248) Headache 7% 6% Abdominal pain 4% 2% Weight decreased 3% 2% In the Partners PrEP trial, the frequency of adverse events in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate treatment group was generally either less than or the same as in the placebo group. Laboratory Abnormalities: Table provides list of Grade to laboratory abnormalities observed in the iPrEx and Partners PrEP trials. Six subjects in the TDF-containing arms of the Partners PrEP trial discontinued from the trial due to an increase in serum creatinine compared with no discontinuations in the placebo group. One subject in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate arm of the iPrEx trial discontinued from the trial due to an increase in serum creatinine and another subject discontinued due to low serum phosphorus. Grades to proteinuria (2 to 4+) and/or glycosuria (3+) occurred in less than 1% of subjects treated with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in the iPrEx trial and Partners PrEP trial. Table Laboratory Abnormalities (Highest Toxicity Grade Reported for Each Subject) in the iPrEx Trial and Partners PrEP Trial Grade to a iPrEx Trial Partners PrEP Trial FTC/TDF(N=1251)Placebo (N=1248) FTC/TDF (N=1579) Placebo (N=1584) Creatinine (> 1.4 ULN) 1% 1% 1% 1% Phosphorus (< 2.0 mg/dL) 10% 8% 9% 9% AST (> 2.6 ULN) 5% 5% <1% <1% ALT (> 2.6 ULN) 7% 7% 1% 1% Hemoglobin (< 9.4 mg/dL) 1% 2% 2% 2% Neutrophils (< 750/mm 3) 1% 1% 5% 3% a. Grading is per DAIDS criteria.Changes in Bone Mineral Density: In clinical trials of HIV-1 uninfected individuals, decreases in BMD were observed. In the iPrEx trial, substudy of 503 subjects found mean changes from baseline in BMD ranging from -0.4% to -1.0% across total hip, spine, femoral neck, and trochanter in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group compared with the placebo group, which returned toward baseline after discontinuation of treatment. Thirteen percent of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-treated subjects versus 6% of placebo-treated subjects lost at least 5% of BMD at the spine during treatment. Bone fractures were reported in 1.7% of the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group compared with 1.4% in the placebo group. No correlation between BMD and fractures was noted [see Clinical Studies (14.3)] The Partners PrEP trial found similar fracture rates between the treatment and placebo groups (0.8% and 0.6%, respectively); no BMD evaluations were performed in this trial [see Clinical Studies (14.4)] Clinical Trials in Adolescent Subjects In single-arm, open-label clinical trial (ATN113), in which 67 HIV-1 uninfected adolescent (15 to 18 years of age) men who have sex with men received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate once daily for HIV-1 PrEP, the safety profile of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate was similar to that observed in adults. Median duration to exposure of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate was 47 weeks [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)]. In the ATN113 trial, median BMD increased from baseline to Week 48, +2.58% for lumbar spine and +0.72% for total body. One subject had significant (greater than or equal to 4%) total body BMD loss at Week 24. Median changes from baseline BMD Z-scores were 0.0 for lumbar spine and -0.2 for total body at Week 48. Three subjects showed worsening (change from -2 to <= -2) from baseline in their lumbar spine or total body BMD Z-scores at Week 24 or 48. Interpretation of these data, however, may be limited by the low rate of adherence to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate by Week 48.. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of TDF. No additional adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of FTC. Because postmarketing reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune System Disorders allergic reaction, including angioedema Metabolism and Nutrition Disorderslactic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia Respiratory, Thoracic, and Mediastinal Disorders dyspnea Gastrointestinal Disorders pancreatitis, increased amylase, abdominal pain Hepatobiliary Disorders hepatic steatosis, hepatitis, increased liver enzymes (most commonly AST, ALT gamma GT) Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders rash Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia (manifested as bone pain and which may contribute to fractures), muscular weakness, myopathy Renal and Urinary Disorders acute renal failure, renal failure, acute tubular necrosis, Fanconi syndrome, proximal renal tubulopathy, interstitial nephritis (including acute cases), nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, renal insufficiency, increased creatinine, proteinuria, polyuriaGeneral Disorders and Administration Site Conditions asthenia The following adverse reactions, listed under the body system headings above, may occur as consequence of proximal renal tubulopathy: rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia, hypokalemia, muscular weakness, myopathy, hypophosphatemia.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet is fixed-dose combination of antiviral drugs FTC and TDF [see Microbiology (12.4)]. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet: One emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet was comparable to one FTC capsule (200 mg) plus one TDF tablet (300 mg) following single-dose administration to fasting healthy subjects (N=39). Emtricitabine: The pharmacokinetic properties of FTC are summarized in Table 8. Following oral administration of FTC, FTC is rapidly absorbed with peak plasma concentrations occurring at to hours postdose. Less than 4% of FTC binds to human plasma proteins in vitro, and the binding is independent of concentration over the range of 0.02 to 200 mcg/mL. Following administration of radiolabelled FTC, approximately 86% is recovered in the urine and 13% is recovered as metabolites. The metabolites of FTC include 3-sulfoxide diastereomers and their glucuronic acid conjugate. Emtricitabine is eliminated by combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Following single oral dose of FTC, the plasma FTC half-life is approximately 10 hours. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: The pharmacokinetic properties of TDF are summarized in Table 8. Following oral administration of TDF, maximum tenofovir serum concentrations are achieved in 1.0 +- 0.4 hour. Less than 0.7% of tenofovir binds to human plasma proteins in vitro, and the binding is independent of concentration over the range of 0.01 to 25 mcg/mL. Approximately 70% to 80% of the intravenous dose of tenofovir is recovered as unchanged drug in the urine. Tenofovir is eliminated by combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Following single oral dose of TDF, the terminal elimination half-life of tenofovir is approximately 17 hours. Table Single Dose Pharmacokinetic Parameters for FTC and Tenofovir in Adults FTC Tenofovir Fasted Oral Bioavailability (%) 92 (83.1 to 106.4) 25 (NC to 45.0) Plasma Terminal Elimination Half-Life (hr) 10 (7.4 to 18.0) 17 (12.0 to 25.7) max (mcg/mL) 1.8+-0.72 0.30+-0.09 AUC (mcg .hr/mL) 10.0+-3.12 2.29+-0.69 CL/F (mL/min) 302+-94 1043+-115 CL renal (mL/min) 213+-89 243+-33 a. NC=Not calculatedb. Median (range)c. Mean (+- SD)d. Data presented as steady-state valuesEffects of Food on Oral Absorption Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet may be administered with or without food. Administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet following high fat meal (784 kcal; 49 grams of fat) or light meal (373 kcal; grams of fat) delayed the time of tenofovir max by approximately 0.75 hour. The mean increases in tenofovir AUC and max were approximately 35% and 15%, respectively, when administered with high fat or light meal, compared to administration in the fasted state. In previous safety and efficacy trials, TDF (tenofovir) was taken under fed conditions. FTC systemic exposures (AUC and max) were unaffected when emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet was administered with either high fat or light meal. Specific Populations Race Emtricitabine: No pharmacokinetic differences due to race have been identified following the administration of FTC. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: There were insufficient numbers from racial and ethnic groups other than Caucasian to adequately determine potential pharmacokinetic differences among these populations following the administration of TDF. Gender Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: FTC and tenofovir pharmacokinetics are similar in male and female subjects. Pediatric Patients Treatment of HIV-1 Infection: The pharmacokinetic data for tenofovir and FTC following administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in pediatric subjects weighing 17 kg and above are not available. The dosage recommendations of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in this population are based on the dosage recommendations of FTC and TDF in this population. Refer to the EMTRIVA and VIREAD prescribing information for pharmacokinetic information on the individual products in pediatric patients. HIV-1 PrEP: The pharmacokinetic data for tenofovir and FTC following administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in HIV-1 uninfected adolescents weighing 35 kg and above are not available. The dosage recommendations of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP in this population are based on safety and adherence data from the ATN113 trial [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)] and known pharmacokinetic information in HIV-infected adolescents taking TDF and FTC for treatment. Geriatric Patients Pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir have not been fully evaluated in the elderly (65 years of age and older). Patients with Renal Impairment The pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir are altered in subjects with renal impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] In adult subjects with creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min, max and AUC 0- of FTC and tenofovir were increased. No data are available to make dosage recommendations in pediatric patients with renal impairment. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir following 300 mg dose of TDF have been studied in non-HIV infected subjects with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. There were no substantial alterations in tenofovir pharmacokinetics in subjects with hepatic impairment compared with unimpaired subjects. The pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or FTC have not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment; however, FTC is not significantly metabolized by liver enzymes, so the impact of liver impairment should be limited. Assessment of Drug Interactions The steady-state pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir were unaffected when FTC and TDF were administered together versus each agent dosed alone. In vitro studies and clinical pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction trials have shown that the potential for CYP mediated interactions involving FTC and tenofovir with other medicinal products is low. TDF is substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporters. When TDF is co-administered with an inhibitor of these transporters, an increase in absorption may be observed. No clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between FTC and famciclovir, indinavir, stavudine, TDF, and zidovudine (Tables and 10). Similarly, no clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between TDF and efavirenz, methadone, nelfinavir, oral contraceptives, ribavirin, or sofosbuvir in trials conducted in healthy volunteers (Tables 11 and 12).Table Drug Interactions: Changes in Pharmacokinetic Parameters for FTC in the Presence of the Co-administered Drug Co-administeredDrugDose of Co-administeredDrug (mg)FTCDose (mg)N% Change of FTC Pharmacokinetic Parameters (90% CI) max AUCC min TDF300 once dailyx days200 once dailyx days17 <=><=>20(12 to 29)Zidovudine300 twice dailyx days200 once dailyx days27<=><=><=>Indinavir800 1200 112<=><=>NAFamciclovir500 1200 112<=><=>NAStavudine40 1200 16<=><=>NAa.

Aptivus Prescribing Information.. 12.4 Microbiology. Mechanism of Action Emtricitabine: FTC, synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to form emtricitabine 5-triphosphate (FTC-TP), which inhibits the activity of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) by competing with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5-triphosphate and by being incorporated into nascent viral DNA which results in chain termination. FTC-TP is weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases , and mitochondrial DNA polymerase Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: TDF is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate diester analog of adenosine monophosphate. TDF requires initial diester hydrolysis for conversion to tenofovir and subsequent phosphorylations by cellular enzymes to form tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP), which inhibits the activity of HIV-1 RT by competing with the natural substrate deoxyadenosine 5-triphosphate and, after incorporation into DNA, by DNA chain termination. TFV-DP is weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases , and mitochondrial DNA polymerase Antiviral Activity Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: No antagonism was observed in combination studies evaluating the cell culture antiviral activity of FTC and tenofovir together. Emtricitabine: The antiviral activity of FTC against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1 was assessed in lymphoblastoid cell lines, the MAGI-CCR5 cell line, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The 50% effective concentration (EC 50) values for FTC were in the range of 0.0013 to 0.64 uM (0.0003 to 0.158 mcg/mL). In drug combination studies of FTC with nucleoside RT inhibitors (abacavir, lamivudine, stavudine, zidovudine), non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine), and protease inhibitors (amprenavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir), no antagonism was observed. Emtricitabine displayed antiviral activity in cell culture against HIV-1 clades A, B, C, D, E, F, and (EC 50 values ranged from 0.007 to 0.075 uM) and showed strain-specific activity against HIV-2 (EC 50 values ranged from 0.007 to 1.5 uM). Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: The antiviral activity of tenofovir against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1 was assessed in lymphoblastoid cell lines, primary monocyte/macrophage cells, and peripheral blood lymphocytes. The EC 50 values for tenofovir were in the range of 0.04 to 8.5 uM. In drug combination studies of tenofovir with nucleoside RT inhibitors (abacavir, didanosine, lamivudine, stavudine, zidovudine), non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine), and protease inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir), no antagonism was observed. Tenofovir displayed antiviral activity in cell culture against HIV-1 clades A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and (EC 50 values ranged from 0.5 to 2.2 uM) and showed strain-specific activity against HIV-2 (EC 50 values ranged from 1.6 uM to 5.5 uM). Prophylactic Activity in Nonhuman Primate Model of HIV-1 Transmission Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: The prophylactic activity of the combination of daily oral FTC and TDF was evaluated in controlled study of macaques inoculated once weekly for 14 weeks with SIV/HIV-1 chimeric virus (SHIV) applied to the rectal surface. Of the 18 control animals, 17 became infected after median of weeks. In contrast, of the animals treated daily with oral FTC and TDF remained uninfected and the two infections that did occur were significantly delayed until and 12 weeks and exhibited reduced viremia. An M184I-expressing FTC-resistant variant emerged in of the macaques after weeks of continued drug exposure. Resistance Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: HIV-1 isolates with reduced susceptibility to the combination of FTC and tenofovir have been selected in cell culture. Genotypic analysis of these isolates identified the M184V/I and/or K65R amino acid substitutions in the viral RT. In addition, K70E substitution in the HIV-1 RT has been selected by tenofovir and results in reduced susceptibility to tenofovir. In Study 934, clinical trial of treatment-naive subjects [see Clinical Studies (14.2)] resistance analysis was performed on HIV-1 isolates from all confirmed virologic failure subjects with greater than 400 copies/mL of HIV-1 RNA at Week 144 or early discontinuation. Development of efavirenz resistance-associated substitutions occurred most frequently and was similar between the treatment arms. The M184V amino acid substitution, associated with resistance to FTC and lamivudine, was observed in 2/19 analyzed subject isolates in the FTC+TDF group and in 10/29 analyzed subject isolates in the zidovudine/lamivudine group. Through 144 weeks of Study 934, no subjects have developed detectable K65R or K70E substitution in their HIV-1 as analyzed through standard genotypic analysis. Emtricitabine: FTC-resistant isolates of HIV-1 have been selected in cell culture and in vivo. Genotypic analysis of these isolates showed that the reduced susceptibility to FTC was associated with substitution in the HIV-1 RT gene at codon 184 which resulted in an amino acid substitution of methionine by valine or isoleucine (M184V/I). Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: HIV-1 isolates with reduced susceptibility to tenofovir have been selected in cell culture. These viruses expressed K65R substitution in RT and showed 2- to 4-fold reduction in susceptibility to tenofovir. In treatment-naive subjects, isolates from 8/47 (17%) analyzed subjects developed the K65R substitution in the TDF arm through 144 weeks; occurred in the first 48 weeks of treatment and at Week 96. In treatment-experienced subjects, 14/304 (5%) isolates from subjects failing TDF through Week 96 showed greater than 1.4-fold (median 2.7) reduced susceptibility to tenofovir. Genotypic analysis of the resistant isolates showed K65R amino acid substitution in the HIV-1 RT. iPrEx Trial: In the iPrEx trial, clinical trial of HIV-1 seronegative adult subjects [see Clinical Studies (14.3)] no amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to FTC or TDF were detected at the time of seroconversion among 48 subjects in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group and 83 subjects in the placebo group who became infected with HIV-1 during the trial. Ten subjects were observed to be HIV-1 infected at time of enrollment. The M184V/I substitutions associated with resistance to FTC were observed in of the 10 subjects (2 of in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group and of in the placebo group). One of the two subjects in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group harbored wild type virus at enrollment and developed the M184V substitution weeks after enrollment. The other subject had indeterminate resistance at enrollment but was found to have the M184I substitution weeks after enrollment. Partners PrEP Trial: In the Partners PrEP trial, clinical trial of HIV-1 seronegative adult subjects [see Clinical Studies (14.4)], no variants expressing amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to FTC or TDF were detected at the time of seroconversion among 12 subjects in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group, 15 subjects in the TDF group, and 51 subjects in the placebo group. Fourteen subjects were observed to be HIV-1 infected at the time of enrollment (3 in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group, in the TDF group, and in the placebo group). One of the three subjects in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group who was infected with wild type virus at enrollment selected an M184V expressing virus by Week 12. Two of the five subjects in the TDF group had tenofovir-resistant viruses at the time of seroconversion; one subject infected with wild type virus at enrollment developed K65R substitution by Week 16, while the second subject had virus expressing the combination of D67N and K70R substitutions upon seroconversion at Week 60, although baseline virus was not genotyped and it is unclear if the resistance emerged or was transmitted. Following enrollment, subjects (2 in the TDF group, in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group, and in the placebo group) had virus expressing K103N or V106A substitutions, which confer high-level resistance to NNRTIs but have not been associated with FTC or TDF and may have been present in the infecting virus. ATN113 Trial: In ATN113, clinical trial of HIV-1 seronegative adolescent subjects [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)], no amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to FTC or TDF were detected at the time of seroconversion from any of the subjects who became infected with HIV-1 during the trial. All subjects who seroconverted were nonadherent to the recommended emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate dosage. Cross Resistance Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: Cross-resistance among certain NRTIs has been recognized. The M184V/I and/or K65R substitutions selected in cell culture by the combination of FTC and tenofovir are also observed in some HIV-1 isolates from subjects failing treatment with tenofovir in combination with either FTC or lamivudine, and either abacavir or didanosine. Therefore, cross-resistance among these drugs may occur in patients whose virus harbors either or both of these amino acid substitutions. Emtricitabine: FTC-resistant isolates (M184V/I) were cross-resistant to lamivudine but retained susceptibility in cell culture to the NRTIs didanosine, stavudine, tenofovir, and zidovudine, and to NNRTIs (delavirdine, efavirenz, and nevirapine). HIV-1 isolates containing the K65R substitution, selected in vivo by abacavir, didanosine, and tenofovir, demonstrated reduced susceptibility to inhibition by FTC. Viruses harboring substitutions conferring reduced susceptibility to stavudine and zidovudine (M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215Y/F, K219Q/E), or didanosine (L74V) remained sensitive to FTC. HIV-1 containing the K103N substitution associated with resistance to NNRTIs was susceptible to FTC. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: The K65R and K70E substitutions selected by tenofovir are also selected in some HIV-1 infected patients treated with abacavir or didanosine. HIV-1 isolates with the K65R and K70E substitutions also showed reduced susceptibility to FTC and lamivudine. Therefore, cross-resistance among these NRTIs may occur in patients whose virus harbors the K65R or K70E substitutions. HIV-1 isolates from subjects (N=20) whose HIV-1 expressed mean of zidovudine-associated RT amino acid substitutions (M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215Y/F, or K219Q/E/N) showed 3.1-fold decrease in the susceptibility to tenofovir. Subjects whose virus expressed an L74V substitution without zidovudine resistance-associated substitutions (N=8) had reduced response to TDF. Limited data are available for patients whose virus expressed Y115F substitution (N=3), Q151M substitution (N=2), or T69 insertion (N=4), all of whom had reduced response.

Data through 144 weeks are reported for Study 934, randomized, open-label, active-controlled multicenter trial comparing FTC+TDF administered in combination with efavirenz (EFV) versus zidovudine (AZT)/lamivudine (3TC) fixed-dose combination administered in combination with EFV in 511 antiretroviral-naive adult subjects. From Weeks 96 to 144 of the trial, subjects received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with EFV in place of FTC+TDF with EFV. Subjects had mean age of 38 years (range 18 to 80); 86% were male, 59% were Caucasian, and 23% were Black. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 245 cells/mm (range to 1,191) and median baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 5.01 log 10 copies/mL (range 3.56 to 6.54). Subjects were stratified by baseline CD4+ cell count (< or 200 cells/mm 3); 41% had CD4+ cell counts 200 cells/mm and 51% of subjects had baseline viral loads 100,000 copies/mL. Treatment outcomes through 48 and 144 weeks for those subjects who did not have EFV resistance at baseline are presented in Table 14.

Includes confirmed viral rebound and failure to achieve confirmed <400 copies/mL through Weeks 48 and 144. d. Includes lost to follow-up, subject withdrawal, noncompliance, protocol violation, and other reasons. Through Week 48, 84% and 73% of subjects in the FTC+TDF group and the AZT/3TC group, respectively, achieved and maintained HIV-1 RNA 400 copies/mL (71% and 58% through Week 144). The difference in the proportion of subjects who achieved and maintained HIV-1 RNA 400 copies/mL through 48 weeks is largely due to the higher number of discontinuations due to adverse events and other reasons in the AZT/3TC group in this open-label trial. In addition, 80% and 70% of subjects in the FTC+TDF group and the AZT/3TC group, respectively, achieved and maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL through Week 48 (64% and 56% through Week 144). The mean increase from baseline in CD4+ cell count was 190 cells/mm in the FTC+TDF group and 158 cells/mm in the AZT/3TC group at Week 48 (312 and 271 cells/mm at Week 144). Through 48 weeks, subjects in the FTC+TDF group and subjects in the AZT/3TC group experienced new CDC Class event (10 and subjects through 144 weeks).. 14.3 Clinical Trial Results forHIV-1 PrEP: iPrEx. The iPrEx trial was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multinational study evaluating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in 2,499 HIV-seronegative men or transgender women who have sex with men and with evidence of high-risk behavior for HIV-1 infection. Evidence of high-risk behavior included any one of the following reported to have occurred up to six months prior to study screening: no condom use during anal intercourse with an HIV-1 positive partner or partner of unknown HIV status; anal intercourse with more than sex partners; exchange of money, gifts, shelter, or drugs for anal sex; sex with male partner and diagnosis of sexually transmitted infection; no consistent use of condoms with sex partner known to be HIV-1 positive.All subjects received monthly HIV-1 testing, risk-reduction counseling, condoms, and management of sexually transmitted infections. Of the 2,499 enrolled subjects, 1,251 received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and 1,248 received placebo. The mean age of subjects was 27 years; 5% were Asian, 9% Black, 18% White, and 72% Hispanic/Latino.Subjects were followed for 4,237 person-years. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of documented HIV seroconversion. At the end of treatment, emergent HIV-1 seroconversion was observed in 131 subjects, of which 48 occurred in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group and 83 occurred in the placebo group, indicating 42% (95% CI: 18 to 60%) reduction in risk. Risk reduction was found to be higher (53%; 95% CI: 34 to 72%) among subjects who reported previous unprotected anal intercourse (URAI) at screening (732 and 753 subjects reported URAI within the last 12 weeks at screening in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and placebo groups, respectively). In post-hoc case control study of plasma and intracellular drug levels in about 10% of study subjects, risk reduction appeared to be greatest in subjects with detectable intracellular tenofovir diphosphate concentrations. Efficacy was therefore strongly correlated with adherence.. 14.4 Clinical Trial Resultsfor HIV-1 PrEP: Partners PrEP. The Partners PrEP trial was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-arm trial conducted in 4,758 HIV-1 serodiscordant heterosexual couples in Kenya and Uganda to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TDF (N=1,589) and FTC/TDF (N=1,583) versus (parallel comparison) placebo (N=1,586) in preventing HIV-1 acquisition by the uninfected partner. All uninfected partner subjects received monthly HIV-1 testing, evaluation of adherence, assessment of sexual behavior, and safety evaluations. Women were also tested monthly for pregnancy. Women who became pregnant during the trial had study drug interrupted for the duration of the pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The uninfected partner subjects were predominantly male (61 to 64% across study drug groups) and had mean age of 33 to 34 years. Following 7,827 person-years of follow-up, 82 emergent HIV-1 seroconversions were reported, with an overall observed seroincidence rate of 1.05 per 100 person-years. Of the 82 seroconversions, 13 and 52 occurred in partner subjects randomized to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and placebo, respectively. Two of the 13 seroconversions in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate arm and of the 52 seroconversions in the placebo arm occurred in women during treatment interruptions for pregnancy. The risk reduction for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate relative to placebo was 75% (95% CI: 55 to 87%). In post-hoc case control study of plasma drug levels in about 10% of study subjects, risk reduction appeared to be greatest in subjects with detectable plasma tenofovir concentrations. Efficacy was therefore strongly correlated with adherence.

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate increases didanosine concentrations. Dose reduction and close monitoring for didanosine toxicity are warranted. 7.2) Co-administration decreases atazanavir concentrations. When co-administered with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, use atazanavir given with ritonavir. 7.2) Co-administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with certain HIV-1 protease inhibitors or certain drugs to treat HCV increases tenofovir concentrations. Monitor for evidence of tenofovir toxicity. 7.2) Consult Full Prescribing Information prior to and during treatment for important drug interactions. 7.2) Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate increases didanosine concentrations. Dose reduction and close monitoring for didanosine toxicity are warranted. 7.2) Co-administration decreases atazanavir concentrations. When co-administered with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, use atazanavir given with ritonavir. 7.2) Co-administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with certain HIV-1 protease inhibitors or certain drugs to treat HCV increases tenofovir concentrations. Monitor for evidence of tenofovir toxicity. 7.2) Consult Full Prescribing Information prior to and during treatment for important drug interactions. 7.2) 7.1 Drugs Affecting Renal Function. FTC and tenofovir are primarily excreted by the kidneys by combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] No drug-drug interactions due to competition for renal excretion have been observed; however, co-administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion may increase concentrations of FTC, tenofovir, and/or the co-administered drug. Some examples include, but are not limited to, acyclovir, adefovir dipivoxil, cidofovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Drugs that decrease renal function may increase concentrations of FTC and/or tenofovir. 7.2 Established and Significant Interactions. Table provides listing of established or clinically significant drug interactions. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with either emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet, the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet (FTC and TDF) as individual agents and/or in combination, or are predicted drug interactions that may occur with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Table Established and Significant Drug Interactions: Alteration in Dose or Regimen May Be Recommended Based on Drug Interaction Trials Concomitant Drug Class: Drug NameEffect on ConcentrationClinical CommentNRTI: didanosine didanosine Patients receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and didanosine should be monitored closely for didanosine-associated adverse reactions. Discontinue didanosine in patients who develop didanosine-associated adverse reactions. Higher didanosine concentrations could potentiate didanosine-associated adverse reactions, including pancreatitis, and neuropathy. Suppression of CD4+ cell counts has been observed in patients receiving TDF with didanosine 400 mg daily. In patients weighing greater than 60 kg, reduce the didanosine dose to 250 mg when it is co-administered with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Data are not available to recommend dose adjustment of didanosine for adult or pediatric patients weighing less than 60 kg. When co-administered, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and Videx EC may be taken under fasted conditions or with light meal (less than 400 kcal, 20% fat).HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors: atazanavir atazanavir When co-administered with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, atazanavir 300 mg should be given with ritonavir 100 mg. lopinavir/ritonavir atazanavir/ritonavir darunavir/ritonavir tenofovir Monitor patients receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate concomitantly with lopinavir/ritonavir, ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, or ritonavir-boosted darunavir for TDF-associated adverse reactions. Discontinue emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in patients who develop TDF-associated adverse reactions. Hepatitis Antiviral Agents: sofosbuvir/velpatasvir sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/ voxilaprevir ledipasvir/sofosbuvir tenofovir Monitor patients receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate concomitantly with EPCLUSA (R) (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) or VOSEVI (R) (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir) for adverse reactions associated with TDF. Monitor patients receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate concomitantly with HARVONI (R) (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) without an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/ritonavir or an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/cobicistat combination for adverse reactions associated with TDF. In patients receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate concomitantly with HARVONI and an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/ritonavir or an HIV-1 protease inhibitor/cobicistat combination, consider an alternative HCV or antiretroviral therapy, as the safety of increased tenofovir concentrations in this setting has not been established. If co-administration is necessary, monitor for adverse reactions associated with TDF. a. This table is not all inclusive.b. =Increase, =Decreasec.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet: One emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet was comparable to one FTC capsule (200 mg) plus one TDF tablet (300 mg) following single-dose administration to fasting healthy subjects (N=39). Emtricitabine: The pharmacokinetic properties of FTC are summarized in Table 8. Following oral administration of FTC, FTC is rapidly absorbed with peak plasma concentrations occurring at to hours postdose. Less than 4% of FTC binds to human plasma proteins in vitro, and the binding is independent of concentration over the range of 0.02 to 200 mcg/mL. Following administration of radiolabelled FTC, approximately 86% is recovered in the urine and 13% is recovered as metabolites. The metabolites of FTC include 3-sulfoxide diastereomers and their glucuronic acid conjugate. Emtricitabine is eliminated by combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Following single oral dose of FTC, the plasma FTC half-life is approximately 10 hours. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: The pharmacokinetic properties of TDF are summarized in Table 8. Following oral administration of TDF, maximum tenofovir serum concentrations are achieved in 1.0 +- 0.4 hour. Less than 0.7% of tenofovir binds to human plasma proteins in vitro, and the binding is independent of concentration over the range of 0.01 to 25 mcg/mL. Approximately 70% to 80% of the intravenous dose of tenofovir is recovered as unchanged drug in the urine. Tenofovir is eliminated by combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Following single oral dose of TDF, the terminal elimination half-life of tenofovir is approximately 17 hours. Table Single Dose Pharmacokinetic Parameters for FTC and Tenofovir in Adults FTC Tenofovir Fasted Oral Bioavailability (%) 92 (83.1 to 106.4) 25 (NC to 45.0) Plasma Terminal Elimination Half-Life (hr) 10 (7.4 to 18.0) 17 (12.0 to 25.7) max (mcg/mL) 1.8+-0.72 0.30+-0.09 AUC (mcg .hr/mL) 10.0+-3.12 2.29+-0.69 CL/F (mL/min) 302+-94 1043+-115 CL renal (mL/min) 213+-89 243+-33 a. NC=Not calculatedb. Median (range)c. Mean (+- SD)d. Data presented as steady-state valuesEffects of Food on Oral Absorption Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet may be administered with or without food. Administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet following high fat meal (784 kcal; 49 grams of fat) or light meal (373 kcal; grams of fat) delayed the time of tenofovir max by approximately 0.75 hour. The mean increases in tenofovir AUC and max were approximately 35% and 15%, respectively, when administered with high fat or light meal, compared to administration in the fasted state. In previous safety and efficacy trials, TDF (tenofovir) was taken under fed conditions. FTC systemic exposures (AUC and max) were unaffected when emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet was administered with either high fat or light meal. Specific Populations Race Emtricitabine: No pharmacokinetic differences due to race have been identified following the administration of FTC. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: There were insufficient numbers from racial and ethnic groups other than Caucasian to adequately determine potential pharmacokinetic differences among these populations following the administration of TDF. Gender Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: FTC and tenofovir pharmacokinetics are similar in male and female subjects. Pediatric Patients Treatment of HIV-1 Infection: The pharmacokinetic data for tenofovir and FTC following administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in pediatric subjects weighing 17 kg and above are not available. The dosage recommendations of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in this population are based on the dosage recommendations of FTC and TDF in this population. Refer to the EMTRIVA and VIREAD prescribing information for pharmacokinetic information on the individual products in pediatric patients. HIV-1 PrEP: The pharmacokinetic data for tenofovir and FTC following administration of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in HIV-1 uninfected adolescents weighing 35 kg and above are not available. The dosage recommendations of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP in this population are based on safety and adherence data from the ATN113 trial [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)] and known pharmacokinetic information in HIV-infected adolescents taking TDF and FTC for treatment. Geriatric Patients Pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir have not been fully evaluated in the elderly (65 years of age and older). Patients with Renal Impairment The pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir are altered in subjects with renal impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] In adult subjects with creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min, max and AUC 0- of FTC and tenofovir were increased. No data are available to make dosage recommendations in pediatric patients with renal impairment. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir following 300 mg dose of TDF have been studied in non-HIV infected subjects with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. There were no substantial alterations in tenofovir pharmacokinetics in subjects with hepatic impairment compared with unimpaired subjects. The pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or FTC have not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment; however, FTC is not significantly metabolized by liver enzymes, so the impact of liver impairment should be limited. Assessment of Drug Interactions The steady-state pharmacokinetics of FTC and tenofovir were unaffected when FTC and TDF were administered together versus each agent dosed alone. In vitro studies and clinical pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction trials have shown that the potential for CYP mediated interactions involving FTC and tenofovir with other medicinal products is low. TDF is substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporters. When TDF is co-administered with an inhibitor of these transporters, an increase in absorption may be observed. No clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between FTC and famciclovir, indinavir, stavudine, TDF, and zidovudine (Tables and 10). Similarly, no clinically significant drug interactions have been observed between TDF and efavirenz, methadone, nelfinavir, oral contraceptives, ribavirin, or sofosbuvir in trials conducted in healthy volunteers (Tables 11 and 12).Table Drug Interactions: Changes in Pharmacokinetic Parameters for FTC in the Presence of the Co-administered Drug Co-administeredDrugDose of Co-administeredDrug (mg)FTCDose (mg)N% Change of FTC Pharmacokinetic Parameters (90% CI) max AUCC min TDF300 once dailyx days200 once dailyx days17 <=><=>20(12 to 29)Zidovudine300 twice dailyx days200 once dailyx days27<=><=><=>Indinavir800 1200 112<=><=>NAFamciclovir500 1200 112<=><=>NAStavudine40 1200 16<=><=>NAa.

8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Exposure RegistryThere is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263.Risk SummaryData on the use of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy from observational studies have shown no increased risk of major birth defects. Available data from the APR show no significant difference in the overall risk of major birth defects with first trimester exposure for emtricitabine (FTC) (2.3%) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (2.1%) compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) (see Data). The rate of miscarriage for individual drugs is not reported in the APR. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 15% to 20%. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet were administered separately at doses/exposures >=60 (FTC), >=14 (TDF) and 2.7 (tenofovir) times those of the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate see Data). Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal riskHIV-1 PrEP: Published studies indicate an increased risk of HIV-1 infection during pregnancy and an increased risk of mother to child transmission during acute HIV-1 infection. In women at risk of acquiring HIV-1, consideration should be given to methods to prevent acquisition of HIV, including continuing or initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, during pregnancy. DataHuman DataEmtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP: In an observational study based on prospective reports to the APR, 78 HIV-seronegative women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy delivered live-born infants with no major malformations. All but one were first trimester exposures, and the median duration of exposure was 10.5 weeks. There were no new safety findings in the women receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP compared with HIV-1 infected women treated with other antiretroviral medications. Emtricitabine: Based on prospective reports to the APR of exposures to FTC-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 3,300 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,300 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.1% to 3.2%) and 2.3% (95% CI: 1.6% to 3.3%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to FTC-containing regimens. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: Based on prospective reports to the APR of exposures to TDF-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 4,000 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,700 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.4% (95% CI: 2.0% to 2.9%) and 2.4% (95% CI: 1.7% to 3.2%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to TDF-containing regimens. Methodologic 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.Additionally, published observational studies on emtricitabine and tenofovir exposure in pregnancy have not shown an increased risk for major malformations. Animal DataEmtricitabine: FTC was administered orally to pregnant mice (at 0, 250, 500, or 1,000 mg/kg/day), and rabbits (at 0, 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days through 15, and through 19, respectively). No significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with FTC in mice at exposures (AUC) approximately 60 times higher and in rabbits at approximately 120 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. In pre/postnatal development study in mice, FTC was administered orally at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day; no significant adverse effects directly related to drug were observed in the offspring exposed daily from before birth in utero) through sexual maturity at daily exposures (AUC) of approximately 60 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: TDF was administered orally to pregnant rats (at 0, 50, 150, or 450 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (at 0, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days through 17, and through 18, respectively). No significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with TDF in rats at doses up to 14 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons and in rabbits at doses up to 19 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons. In pre/postnatal development study in rats, TDF was administered orally through lactation at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day; no adverse effects were observed in the offspring at tenofovir exposures of approximately 2.7 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet were administered separately at doses/exposures >=60 (FTC), >=14 (TDF) and 2.7 (tenofovir) times those of the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate see Data). Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal riskHIV-1 PrEP: Published studies indicate an increased risk of HIV-1 infection during pregnancy and an increased risk of mother to child transmission during acute HIV-1 infection. In women at risk of acquiring HIV-1, consideration should be given to methods to prevent acquisition of HIV, including continuing or initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, during pregnancy. DataHuman DataEmtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP: In an observational study based on prospective reports to the APR, 78 HIV-seronegative women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy delivered live-born infants with no major malformations. All but one were first trimester exposures, and the median duration of exposure was 10.5 weeks. There were no new safety findings in the women receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP compared with HIV-1 infected women treated with other antiretroviral medications. Emtricitabine: Based on prospective reports to the APR of exposures to FTC-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 3,300 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,300 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.1% to 3.2%) and 2.3% (95% CI: 1.6% to 3.3%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to FTC-containing regimens. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: Based on prospective reports to the APR of exposures to TDF-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 4,000 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,700 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.4% (95% CI: 2.0% to 2.9%) and 2.4% (95% CI: 1.7% to 3.2%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to TDF-containing regimens. Methodologic 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.Additionally, published observational studies on emtricitabine and tenofovir exposure in pregnancy have not shown an increased risk for major malformations. Animal DataEmtricitabine: FTC was administered orally to pregnant mice (at 0, 250, 500, or 1,000 mg/kg/day), and rabbits (at 0, 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days through 15, and through 19, respectively). No significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with FTC in mice at exposures (AUC) approximately 60 times higher and in rabbits at approximately 120 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. In pre/postnatal development study in mice, FTC was administered orally at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day; no significant adverse effects directly related to drug were observed in the offspring exposed daily from before birth in utero) through sexual maturity at daily exposures (AUC) of approximately 60 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: TDF was administered orally to pregnant rats (at 0, 50, 150, or 450 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (at 0, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days through 17, and through 18, respectively). No significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with TDF in rats at doses up to 14 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons and in rabbits at doses up to 19 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons. In pre/postnatal development study in rats, TDF was administered orally through lactation at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day; no adverse effects were observed in the offspring at tenofovir exposures of approximately 2.7 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryBased on published data, FTC and tenofovir have been shown to be present in human breast milk (see Data). It is not known if the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet affect milk production or have effects on the breastfed child. Treatment of HIV-1 Infection: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 breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults, instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for the treatment of HIV-1.HIV-1 PrEP:In HIV-uninfected women, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding and the mothers clinical need for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP should be considered along with any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and the risk of HIV-1 acquisition due to nonadherence and subsequent mother to child transmission.Women should not breastfeed if acute HIV-1 infection is suspected because of the risk of HIV-1 transmission to the infant.DataHIV-1 PrEP: In study of 50 breastfeeding women who received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP between and 24 weeks postpartum (median 13 weeks), after days of treatment, tenofovir was undetectable but FTC was detectable in the plasma of most infants. In these infants, the average FTC plasma concentration was less than 1% of the FTC max observed in HIV-infected infants (up to months of age) receiving the therapeutic dose of FTC (3 mg/kg/day). There were no serious adverse events. Two infants (4%) had an adverse event of mild diarrhea which resolved. 8.4 Pediatric Use. Treatment of HIV-1 InfectionNo pediatric clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in patients with HIV-1 infection. Data from previously conducted trials with the individual drug products, FTC and TDF, were relied upon to support dosage recommendations for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. For additional information, consult the prescribing information for EMTRIVA and VIREAD.Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet should only be administered to HIV-1 infected pediatric patients with body weight greater than or equal to 17 kg and who are able to swallow tablet. Because it is fixed-dose combination tablet, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate cannot be adjusted for patients of lower weight [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5), Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is not approved for use in pediatric patients weighing less than 17 kg. HIV-1 PrEPThe safety and effectiveness of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP in at-risk adolescents weighing at least 35 kg is supported by data from adequate and well-controlled studies of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP in adults with additional data from safety and pharmacokinetic studies in previously conducted trials with the individual drug products, FTC and TDF, in HIV-1 infected adults and pediatric subjects [see Dosage and Administration (2.5), Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 and 12.4), and Clinical Studies (14.3 and 14.4)]. Safety, adherence, and resistance were evaluated in single-arm, open-label clinical trial (ATN113) in which 67 HIV-1 uninfected at-risk adolescent men who have sex with men received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate once daily for HIV-1 PrEP. The mean age of subjects was 17 years (range 15 to 18 years); 46% were Hispanic, 52% Black, and 37% White. The safety profile of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in ATN113 was similar to that observed in the adult HIV-1 PrEP trials [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] In the ATN113 trial, HIV-1 seroconversion occurred in subjects. Tenofovir diphosphate levels in dried blood spot assays indicate that these subjects had poor adherence. No tenofovir- or FTC-associated HIV-1 resistance substitutions were detected in virus isolated from the subjects who seroconverted [see Microbiology (12.4)]. Adherence to study drug, as demonstrated by tenofovir diphosphate levels in dried blood spot assays, declined markedly after Week 12 once subjects switched from monthly to quarterly visits, suggesting that adolescents may benefit from more frequent visits and counseling [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Safety and effectiveness of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP in pediatric patients weighing less than 35 kg have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Clinical trials of FTC, TDF, or emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.. 8.6 Renal Impairment. Treatment of HIV-1 InfectionThe dosing interval for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be modified in HIV-infected adult individuals with estimated creatinine clearance of 30 to 49 mL/min. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is not recommended in individuals with estimated creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min and in individuals with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)] HIV-1 PrEPEmtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP is not recommended in HIV-1 uninfected individuals with estimated creatinine clearance below 60 mL/min. If decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed in uninfected individuals while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].

All individuals should be tested for the presence of chronic hepatitis virus (HBV) before or when initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis (e.g., liver decompensation and liver failure) have been reported in HBV-infected individuals who have discontinued emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Individuals infected with HBV who discontinue emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment. If appropriate, anti-hepatitis therapy may be warranted, especially in individuals with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, since posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure. HBV-uninfected individuals should be offered vaccination.. 5.2 ComprehensiveManagement to Reduce the Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections, IncludingHIV-1, and Development of HIV-1Resistance When Emtricitabine and TenofovirDisoproxil FumarateIs Used for HIV-1 PrEP. Use emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection as part of comprehensive prevention strategy that includes other prevention measures, including adherence to daily administration and safer sex practices, including condoms, to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The time from initiation of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP to maximal protection against HIV-1 infection is unknown.Risk for HIV-1 acquisition includes behavioral, biological, or epidemiologic factors including but not limited to condomless sex, past or current STIs, self-identified HIV risk, having sexual partners of unknown HIV-1 viremic status, or sexual activity in high prevalence area or network.Counsel individuals on the use of other prevention measures (e.g., consistent and correct condom use, knowledge of partner(s) HIV-1 status, including viral suppression status, regular testing for STIs that can facilitate HIV-1 transmission). Inform uninfected individuals about and support their efforts in reducing sexual risk behavior.Use emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to reduce the risk of acquiring HIV-1 only in individuals confirmed to be HIV-negative. HIV-1 resistance substitutions may emerge in individuals with undetected HIV-1 infection who are taking only emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, because emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate alone does not constitute complete regimen for HIV-1 treatment [see Microbiology (12.4)]; therefore, care should be taken to minimize the risk of initiating or continuing emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate before confirming the individual is HIV-1 negative. Some HIV-1 tests only detect anti-HIV antibodies and may not identify HIV-1 during the acute stage of infection. Prior to initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, ask seronegative individuals about recent (in past month) potential exposure events (e.g., condomless sex or condom breaking during sex with partner of unknown HIV-1 status or unknown viremic status, or recent STI), and evaluate for current or recent signs or symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection (e.g., fever, fatigue, myalgia, skin rash). If recent (<1 month) exposures to HIV-1 are suspected or clinical symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection are present, use test approved or cleared by the FDA as an aid in the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection.While using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, HIV-1 testing should be repeated at least every months, and upon diagnosis of any other STIs. If an HIV-1 test indicates possible HIV-1 infection, or if symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection develop following potential exposure event, convert the HIV-1 PrEP regimen to an HIV treatment regimen until negative infection status is confirmed using test approved or cleared by the FDA as an aid in the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection. Counsel HIV-1 uninfected individuals to strictly adhere to the once daily emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate dosing schedule. The effectiveness of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in reducing the risk of acquiring HIV-1 is strongly correlated with adherence, as demonstrated by measurable drug levels in clinical trials of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP. Some individuals, such as adolescents, may benefit from more frequent visits and counseling to support adherence [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4), Microbiology (12.4), and Clinical Studies 14.3 and 14.4)] . Some HIV-1 tests only detect anti-HIV antibodies and may not identify HIV-1 during the acute stage of infection. Prior to initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, ask seronegative individuals about recent (in past month) potential exposure events (e.g., condomless sex or condom breaking during sex with partner of unknown HIV-1 status or unknown viremic status, or recent STI), and evaluate for current or recent signs or symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection (e.g., fever, fatigue, myalgia, skin rash). If recent (<1 month) exposures to HIV-1 are suspected or clinical symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection are present, use test approved or cleared by the FDA as an aid in the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection.. If an HIV-1 test indicates possible HIV-1 infection, or if symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection develop following potential exposure event, convert the HIV-1 PrEP regimen to an HIV treatment regimen until negative infection status is confirmed using test approved or cleared by the FDA as an aid in the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection. 5.3 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment. Emtricitabine and tenofovir are principally eliminated by the kidney. Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of TDF, component of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] Prior to initiation and during use of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, on clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all individuals. In individuals with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus.Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be avoided with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic agent (e.g., high-dose or multiple non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) [see Drug Interactions (7.1)] Cases of acute renal failure after initiation of high-dose or multiple NSAIDs have been reported in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal dysfunction who appeared stable on TDF. Some patients required hospitalization and renal replacement therapy. Alternatives to NSAIDs should be considered, if needed, in patients at risk for renal dysfunction. Persistent or worsening bone pain, pain in extremities, fractures, and/or muscular pain or weakness may be manifestations of proximal renal tubulopathy and should prompt an evaluation of renal function in individuals at risk of renal dysfunction.Treatment of HIV-1 InfectionDosing interval adjustment of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and close monitoring of renal function are recommended in all patients with estimated creatinine clearance 30 to 49 mL/min [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)] No safety or efficacy data are available in patients with renal impairment who received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate using these dosing guidelines, so the potential benefit of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy should be assessed against the potential risk of renal toxicity. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min or patients requiring hemodialysis. HIV-1 PrEPEmtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP is not recommended in uninfected individuals with estimated creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min. If decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)] . 5.4 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome. Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in HIV-1 infected patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, HIV-1 infected 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, 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. 5.5 Bone Loss and Mineralization Defects. Bone Mineral Density In clinical trials in HIV-1 infected adults and in clinical trial of HIV-1 uninfected individuals, TDF (a component of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet) was associated with slightly greater decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) and increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism, suggesting increased bone turnover relative to comparators [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] Serum parathyroid hormone levels and 1,25 Vitamin levels were also higher in subjects receiving TDF. Clinical trials evaluating TDF in pediatric and adolescent subjects were conducted. Under normal circumstances, BMD increases rapidly in pediatric patients. In HIV-1 infected subjects aged years to less than 18 years, bone effects were similar to those observed in adult subjects and suggest increased bone turnover. Total body BMD gain was less in the TDF-treated HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects as compared to the control groups. Similar trends were observed in adolescent subjects aged 12 years to less than 18 years treated for chronic hepatitis B. In all pediatric trials, skeletal growth (height) appeared to be unaffected.The effects of TDF-associated changes in BMD and biochemical markers on long-term bone health and future fracture risk are unknown. Assessment of BMD should be considered for adult and pediatric patients who have history of pathologic bone fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. Although the effect of supplementation with calcium and vitamin was not studied, such supplementation may be beneficial. If bone abnormalities are suspected, appropriate consultation should be obtained. Mineralization DefectsCases of osteomalacia associated with proximal renal tubulopathy, manifested as bone pain or pain in extremities and which may contribute to fractures, have been reported in association with TDF use [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] Arthralgia and muscle pain or weakness have also been reported in cases of proximal renal tubulopathy. Hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia secondary to proximal renal tubulopathy should be considered in patients at risk of renal dysfunction who present with persistent or worsening bone or muscle symptoms while receiving TDF-containing products [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. 5.6 Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly withSteatosis. Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including FTC and TDF, components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Treatment with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be suspended in any individual who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (which may include hepatomegaly and steatosis even in the absence of marked transaminase elevations). 5.7 Risk of Adverse Reactions Due to DrugInteractions. The concomitant use of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of concomitant drugs [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. See Table 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 therapy with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; review concomitant medications during therapy with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; and monitor for adverse reactions associated with the concomitant drugs.
