4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS4.1 Therapeutic indications
Darunavir, co-administered with low dose ritonavir is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products for the treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection (see section 4.2).
Darunavir Mylan 75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg and 600 mg tablets may be used to provide suitable dose regimens (see section 4.2):
- • For the treatment of HIV-1 infection in antiretroviral treatment (ART)-experienced adult patients, including those that have been highly pre-treated.
- • For the treatment of HIV-1 infection in paediatric patients from the age of 3 years and at least 15 kg body weight.
In deciding to initiate treatment with darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir, careful consideration should be given to the treatment history of the individual patient and the patterns of mutations associated with different agents. Genotypic or phenotypic testing (when available) and treatment history should guide the use of darunavir (see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 5.1).
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Therapy should be initiated by a healthcare provider experienced in the management of HIV infection. After therapy with darunavir has been initiated, patients should be advised not to alter the dosage, dose form or discontinue therapy without discussing with their healthcare provider.
Posology
Darunavir Mylan must always be given orally with low dose ritonavir as a pharmacokinetic enhancer and in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products. The Summary of Product Characteristics of ritonavir must, therefore, be consulted prior to initiation of therapy with darunavir.
ART-experienced adult patients
The recommended dose regimen is 600 mg twice daily taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily taken with food. Darunavir Mylan 75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg and 600 mg tablets can be used to construct the twice daily 600 mg regimen.
The use of 75 mg and 150 mg tablets to achieve the recommended dose is appropriate when there is a difficulty in swallowing the 300 mg or 600 mg tablets. Before prescribing darunavir tablets, young children should be assessed for the ability to swallow intact tablets. For young children unable to swallow tablets, more suitable formulations containing darunavir should be checked for their availability.
ART-naive adult patients
For dosage recommendations in ART-naive patients see the Summary of Product Characteristics for Darunavir Mylan 400 mg and 800 mg tablets.
ART-naive paediatric patients (3 to 17 years of age and weighing at least 15 kg)
The weight-based dose of darunavir and ritonavir in paediatric patients is provided in the table below.
Recommended dose for treatment-naive paediatric patients (3 to 17 years) with darunavir tablets and ritonavir a | |
Body weight (kg) | Dose (once daily with food) |
> 15 kg to < 30 kg | 600 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily |
> 30 kg to < 40 kg | 675 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily |
> 40 kg | 800 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily |
a ritonavir oral solution: 80 mg/ml
ART-experienced paediatric patients (3 to 17 years of age and weighing at least 15 kg) Darunavir twice daily taken with ritonavir taken with food is usually recommended.
A once daily dose regimen of darunavir taken with ritonavir taken with food may be used in patients with prior exposure to antiretroviral medicinal products but without darunavir resistance associated mutations (DRV-RAMs)* and who have plasma HIV-1 RNA < 100,000 copies/ml and CD4+ cell count > 100 cells x 106/L.
* DRV-RAMs: V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54M, I54L, T74P, L76V, I84V and L89V
The weight-based dose of darunavir and ritonavir in paediatric patients is provided in the table below. The recommended dose of darunavir with low dose ritonavir should not exceed the recommended adult dose (600/100 mg twice daily or 800/100 mg once daily).
Recommended dose for treatment-experienced paediatric patients (3 to 17 years) with darunavir tablets and ritonavira | ||
Body weight (kg) | Dose (once daily with food) | Dose (twice daily with food) |
> 15 kg-< 30 kg | 600 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily | 375 mg darunavir/50 mg ritonavir twice daily |
> 30 kg-< 40 kg | 675 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily | 450 mg darunavir/60 mg ritonavir twice daily |
> 40 kg | 800 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir once daily | 600 mg darunavir/100 mg ritonavir twice daily |
a ritonavir oral solution: 80 mg/ml
For ART-experienced paediatric patients HIV genotypic testing is recommended. However, when HIV genotypic testing is not feasible, the darunavir/ritonavir once daily dosing regimen is recommended in HIV protease inhibitor-naive paediatric patients and the twice daily dosing regimen is recommended in HIV protease inhibitor-experienced patients.
Advice on missed doses
In case a dose of darunavir and/or ritonavir is missed within 6 hours of the time it is usually taken, patients should be instructed to take the prescribed dose of darunavir and ritonavir with food as soon as possible. If this is noticed later than 6 hours after the time it is usually taken, the missed dose should not be taken and the patient should resume the usual dosing schedule.
This guidance is based on the 15 hour half-life of darunavir in the presence of ritonavir and the recommended dosing interval of approximately 12 hours.
If a patient vomits within 4 hours of taking the medicine, another dose of Darunavir Mylan with ritonavir should be taken with food as soon as possible. If a patient vomits more than 4 hours after taking the medicine, the patient does not need to take another dose of Darunavir Mylan with ritonavir until the next regularly scheduled time.
Special populations
Elderly
Limited information is available in this population, and therefore, darunavir should be used with caution in this age group (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
Hepatic impairment
Darunavir is metabolised by the hepatic system. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment, however, darunavir should be used with caution in these patients. No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Severe hepatic impairment could result in an increase of darunavir exposure and a worsening of its safety profile. Therefore, darunavir must not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) (see sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.2).
Renal impairment
No dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
Paediatric population
Darunavir/ritonavir should not be used in children with a body weight of less than 15 kg as the dose for this population has not been established in a sufficient number of patients (see section 5.1).
Darunavir/ritonavir should not be used in children below 3 years of age because of safety concerns (see sections 4.4 and 5.3).
The weight-based dose regimen for darunavir and ritonavir is provided in the tables above.
Pregnancy and postpartum
No dose adjustment is required for darunavir/ritonavir during pregnancy and postpartum. Darunavir/ritonavir should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk (see sections 4.4, 4.6 and 5.2).
Method of administration
Patients should be instructed to take Darunavir Mylan with low dose ritonavir within 30 minutes after completion of a meal. The type of food does not affect the exposure to darunavir (see sections 4.4, 4.5 and 5.2).
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Patients with severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment.
Combination of rifampicin with darunavir with concomitant low dose ritonavir (see section 4.5).
Co-administration with the combination product lopinavir/ritonavir (see section 4.5).
Co-administration with herbal preparations containing St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum ) (see section 4.5).
Co-administration of darunavir with low dose ritonavir, with active substances that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening events. These active substances include e.g.: – alfuzosin
-
– amiodarone, bepridil, dronedarone, ivabradine, quinidine, ranolazine
-
– astemizole, terfenadine
-
– colchicine when used in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment (see section 4.5)
-
– ergot derivatives (e.g. dihydroergotamine, ergometrine, ergotamine, methylergonovine)
-
– elbasvir/grazoprevir
-
– cisapride
-
– dapoxetine
-
– domperidone
-
– naloxegol
-
– lurasidone, pimozide, quetiapine, sertindole (see section 4.5)
-
– triazolam, midazolam administered orally (for caution on parenterally administered midazolam, see section 4.5)
-
– sildenafil – when used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, avanafil
-
– simvastatin, lovastatin and lomitapide (see section 4.5)
-
– dabigatran, ticagrelor (see section 4.5).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
While effective viral suppression with antiretroviral therapy has been proven to substantially reduce the risk of sexual transmission, a residual risk cannot be excluded. Precautions to prevent transmission should be taken in accordance with national guidelines.
Regular assessment of virological response is advised. In the setting of lack or loss of virological response, resistance testing should be performed.
Darunavir must always be given orally with low dose ritonavir as a pharmacokinetic enhancer and in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products (see section 5.2). The Summary of Product Characteristics of ritonavir as appropriate, must therefore be consulted prior to initiation of therapy with darunavir.
Increasing the dose of ritonavir from that recommended in section 4.2 did not significantly affect darunavir concentrations. It is not recommended to alter the dose of ritonavir.
Darunavir binds predominantly to ai-acid glycoprotein. This protein binding is concentrationdependent indicative for saturation of binding. Therefore, protein displacement of medicinal products highly bound to a1-acid glycoprotein cannot be ruled out (see section 4.5).
ART-experienced patients – once daily dosing
Darunavir used in combination with cobicistat or low dose ritonavir once daily in ART-experienced patients should not be used in patients with one or more darunavir resistance associated mutations (DRV-RAMs) or HIV-1 RNA > 100,000 copies/ml or CD4+ cell count < 100 cells x 106/L (see section 4.2). Combinations with optimised background regimen (OBRs) other than > 2 NRTIs have not been studied in this population. Limited data are available in patients with HIV-1 clades other than B (see section 5.1).
Paediatric population
Darunavir is not recommended for use in paediatric patients below 3 years of age or less than 15 kg body weight (see sections 4.2 and 5.3).
Pregnancy
Darunavir/ritonavir should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. Caution should be used in pregnant women with concomitant medications which may further decrease darunavir exposure (see sections 4.5 and 5.2).
Elderly
As limited information is available on the use of darunavir in patients aged 65 and over, caution should be exercised in the administration of darunavir in elderly patients, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic function and of concomitant disease or other therapy (see sections 4.2 and 5.2).
Severe skin reactions
During the darunavir/ritonavir clinical development program (N=3,063), severe skin reactions, which may be accompanied with fever and/or elevations of transaminases, have been reported in 0.4% of patients. DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome has been rarely (< 0.1%) reported, and during post-marketing experience toxic epidermal necrolysis and acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis have been reported. Darunavir should be discontinued immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin reactions develop. These can include,
but are not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and/or eosinophilia.
Rash occurred more commonly in treatment-experienced patients receiving regimens containing darunavir/ritonavir + raltegravir compared to patients receiving darunavir/ritonavir without raltegravir or raltegravir without darunavir (see section 4.8).
Darunavir contains a sulphonamide moiety. Darunavir Mylan should be used with caution in patients with a known sulphonamide allergy.
Hepatotoxicity
Drug-induced hepatitis (e.g. acute hepatitis, cytolytic hepatitis) has been reported with darunavir. During the darunavir/ritonavir clinical development program (N=3,063), hepatitis was reported in 0.5% of patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy with darunavir/ritonavir. Patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction, including chronic active hepatitis B or C, have an increased risk for liver function abnormalities including severe and potentially fatal hepatic adverse reactions. In case of concomitant antiviral therapy for hepatitis B or C, please refer to the relevant product information for these medicinal products.
Appropriate laboratory testing should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with darunavir/ritonavir and patients should be monitored during treatment. Increased AST/ALT monitoring should be considered in patients with underlying chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or in patients who have pretreatment elevations of transaminases, especially during the first several months of darunavir/ritonavir treatment.
If there is evidence of new or worsening liver dysfunction (including clinically significant elevation of liver enzymes and/or symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, dark urine, liver tenderness, hepatomegaly) in patients using darunavir/ritonavir, interruption or discontinuation of treatment should be considered promptly.
Patients with coexisting conditions
Hepatic impairment
The safety and efficacy of darunavir have not been established in patients with severe underlying liver disorders and darunavir is therefore contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Due to an increase in the unbound darunavir plasma concentrations, darunavir should be used with caution in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (see sections 4.2, 4.3 and 5.2).
Renal impairment
No special precautions or dose adjustments for darunavir/ritonavir are required in patients with renal impairment. As darunavir and ritonavir are highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that they will be significantly removed by haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, no special precautions or dose adjustments are required in these patients (see sections 4.2 and 5.2).
Haemophiliac patients
There have been reports of increased bleeding, including spontaneous skin haematomas and haemarthrosis in patients with haemophilia type A and B treated with PIs. In some patients additional factor VIII was given. In more than half of the reported cases, treatment with PIs was continued or reintroduced if treatment had been discontinued. A causal relationship has been suggested, although the mechanism of action has not been elucidated. Haemophiliac patients should, therefore, be made aware of the possibility of increased bleeding.
Weight and metabolic parameters
An increase in weight and in levels of blood lipids and glucose may occur during antiretroviral therapy. Such changes may in part be linked to disease control and life style. For lipids, there is in some cases evidence for a treatment effect, while for weight gain there is no strong evidence relating 7
this to any particular treatment. For monitoring of blood lipids and glucose reference is made to established HIV treatment guidelines. Lipid disorders should be managed as clinically appropriate.
Osteonecrosis
Although the aetiology is considered to be multifactorial (including corticosteroid use, alcohol consumption, severe immunosuppression, higher body mass index), cases of osteonecrosis have been reported particularly in patients with advanced HIV disease and/or long-term exposure to combination antiretroviral therapy (CART). Patients should be advised to seek medical advice if they experience joint aches and pain, joint stiffness or difficulty in movement.
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome
In HIV infected patients with severe immune deficiency at the time of initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (CART), an inflammatory reaction to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic pathogens may arise and cause serious clinical conditions, or aggravation of symptoms. Typically, such reactions have been observed within the first weeks or months of initiation of CART. Relevant examples are cytomegalovirus retinitis, generalised and/or focal mycobacterial infections and pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii ). Any inflammatory symptoms should be evaluated and treatment instituted when necessary. In addition, reactivation of herpes simplex and herpes zoster has been observed in clinical studies with darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir.
Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reactivation; however, the reported time to onset is more variable and these events can occur many months after initiation of treatment (see section 4.8).
Interactions with medicinal products
Several of the interaction studies have been performed with darunavir at lower than recommended doses. The effects on co-administered medicinal products may thus be underestimated and clinical monitoring of safety may be indicated. For full information on interactions with other medicinal products see section 4.5.
Efavirenz in combination with boosted darunavir once daily may result in sub-optimal darunavir Cmin. If efavirenz is to be used in combination with darunavir, the darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily regimen should be used (see section 4.5).
Life-threatening and fatal drug interactions have been reported in patients treated with colchicine and strong inhibitors of CYP3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp; see sections 4.3 and 4.5).
Darunavir Mylan contains sodium
Darunavir Mylan 75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg and 600 mg film-coated tablets contain less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially ‘sodium-free’.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.
Medicinal products that may be affected by darunavir boosted with ritonavir
Darunavir and ritonavir are inhibitors of CYP3A, CYP2D6 and P-gp. Co-administration of darunavir/ ritonavir with medicinal products primarily metabolised by CYP3A and/or CYP2D6 or transported by P-gp may result in increased systemic exposure to such medicinal products, which could increase or prolong their therapeutic effect and adverse reactions.
Co-administration of darunavir/ritonavir with drugs that have active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A may result in reduced plasma concentrations of these active metabolite(s), potentially leading to loss of their therapeutic effect (see the Interaction table below).
Darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir must not be combined with medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which increased systemic exposure is associated with serious and/or life-threatening events (narrow therapeutic index) (see section 4.3).
The overall pharmacokinetic enhancement effect by ritonavir was an approximate 14-fold increase in the systemic exposure of darunavir when a single dose of 600 mg darunavir was given orally in combination with ritonavir at 100 mg twice daily. Therefore, darunavir must only be used in combination with low dose ritonavir as a pharmacokinetic enhancer (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
A clinical study utilising a cocktail of medicinal products that are metabolised by cytochromes CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 demonstrated an increase in CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 activity and inhibition of CYP2D6 activity in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir, which may be attributed to the presence of low dose ritonavir. Co-administration of darunavir and ritonavir with medicinal products which are primarily metabolised by CYP2D6 (such as flecainide, propafenone, metoprolol) may result in increased plasma concentrations of these medicinal products, which could increase or prolong their therapeutic effect and adverse reactions. Co-administration of darunavir and ritonavir with medicinal products primarily metabolised by CYP2C9 (such as warfarin) and CYP2C19 (such as methadone) may result in decreased systemic exposure to such medicinal products, which could decrease or shorten their therapeutic effect.
Although the effect on CYP2C8 has only been studied in vitro , co-administration of darunavir and ritonavir and medicinal products primarily metabolised by CYP2C8 (such as paclitaxel, rosiglitazone, repaglinide) may result in decreased systemic exposure to such medicinal products, which could decrease or shorten their therapeutic effect.
Ritonavir inhibits the transporters P-glycoprotein, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, and co-administration with substrates of these transporters can result in increased plasma concentrations of these compounds (e.g. dabigatran etexilate, digoxin, statins and bosentan; see the Interaction table below).
Medicinal products that affect darunavir/ritonavir exposure
Darunavir and ritonavir are metabolised by CYP3A. Medicinal products that induce CYP3A activity would be expected to increase the clearance of darunavir and ritonavir, resulting in lowered plasma concentrations of darunavir and ritonavir (e.g. rifampicin, St John’s wort, lopinavir).
Co-administration of darunavir and ritonavir and other medicinal products that inhibit CYP3A may decrease the clearance of darunavir and ritonavir and may result in increased plasma concentrations of darunavir and ritonavir (e.g. indinavir, azole antifungals like clotrimazole). These interactions are described in the interaction table below.
Interaction table
Interactions between darunavir/ritonavir and antiretroviral and non-antiretroviral medicinal products are listed in the table below. The direction of the arrow for each pharmacokinetic parameter is based on the 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio being within (^), below Q) or above ($) the 80–125% range (not determined as “ND”).
Several of the interaction studies (indicated by # in the table below) have been performed at lower than recommended doses of darunavir or with a different dosing regimen (see section 4.2 Posology). The effects on co-administered medicinal products may thus be underestimated and clinical monitoring of safety may be indicated.
The below list of examples of drug -drug interactions is not comprehensive and therefore the label of each drug that is co-administered with darunavir should be consulted for information related to the route of metabolism, interaction pathways, potential risks, and specific actions to be taken with regards to co-administration.

ANTIMYCOBACTERIALS | ||
Rifampicin Rifapentine | Not studied. Rifapentine and rifampicin are strong CYP3A inducers and have been shown to cause profound decreases in concentrations of other protease inhibitors, which can result in virological failure and resistance development (CYP450 enzyme induction). During attempts to overcome the decreased exposure by increasing the dose of other protease inhibitors with low dose ritonavir, a high frequency of liver reactions was seen with rifampicin. | The combination of rifapentine and darunavir with concomitant low dose ritonavir is not recommended. The combination of rifampicin and darunavir with concomitant low dose ritonavir is contraindicated (see section 4.3). |
Rifabutin 150 mg once every other day | rifabutin AUC** t 55% rifabutin Cmm** t ND rifabutin Cmax** ^ | A dosage reduction of rifabutin by 75% of the usual dose of 300 mg/day (i.e. rifabutin 150 mg |
darunavir AUC f 53% darunavir Cmm f 68% darunavir Cmax f 39% ** sum of active moieties of rifabutin (parent drug + 25-O- desacetyl metabolite) The interaction trial showed a comparable daily systemic exposure for rifabutin between treatment at 300 mg once daily alone and 150 mg once every other day in combination with darunavir/ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) with an about 10-fold increase in the daily exposure to the active metabolite 25-O- desacetylrifabutin. Furthermore, AUC of the sum of active moieties of rifabutin (parent drug + 25-O- desacetyl metabolite) was increased 1.6-fold, while Cmax remained comparable. Data on comparison with a 150 mg once daily reference dose is lacking. (Rifabutin is an inducer and substrate of CYP3A.) An increase of systemic exposure to darunavir was observed when darunavir co-administered with 100 mg ritonavir was co-administered with rifabutin (150 mg once every other day). | once every other day) and increased monitoring for rifabutin related adverse events is warranted in patients receiving the combination with darunavir coadministered with ritonavir. In case of safety issues, a further increase of the dosing interval for rifabutin and/or monitoring of rifabutin levels should be considered. Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate treatment of tuberculosis in HIV infected patients. Based upon the safety profile of darunavir/ritonavir, the increase in darunavir exposure in the presence of rifabutin does not warrant a dose adjustment for darunavir/ritonavir. Based on pharmacokinetic modeling, this dosage reduction of 75% is also applicable if patients receive rifabutin at doses other than 300 mg/day. | |
ANTINEOPLASTICS | ||
Dasatinib Nilotinib Vinblastine Vincristine | Not studied. Darunavir is expected to increase these antineoplastic plasma concentrations. (CYP3A inhibition) | Concentrations of these medicinal products may be increased when co-administered with darunavir with low dose ritonavir resulting in the potential for increased adverse events usually associated with these agents.

CORTICOSTEROIDS | ||
Corticosteroids primarily metabolised by CYP3A (including betamethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, mometasone, prednisone, triamcinolone) | Fluticasone: in a clinical study where ritonavir 100 mg capsules twice daily were co-administered with 50 gg intranasal fluticasone propionate (4 times daily) for 7 days in healthy subjects, fluticasone propionate plasma concentrations increased significantly, whereas the intrinsic cortisol levels decreased by approximately 86% (90% CI 82–89%). Greater effects may be expected when fluticasone is inhaled. Systemic corticosteroid effects including Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal suppression have been reported in patients receiving ritonavir and inhaled or intranasally administered fluticasone. The effects of high fluticasone systemic exposure on ritonavir plasma levels are unknown. Other corticosteroids: interaction not studied. Plasma concentrations of these medicinal products may be increased when co-administered with darunavir with low dose ritonavir, resulting in reduced serum cortisol concentrations. | Concomitant use of darunavir with low dose ritonavir and corticosteroids (all routes of administration) that are metabolised by CYP3A may increase the risk of development of systemic corticosteroid effects, including Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal suppression. Co-administration with CYP3A-metabolised corticosteroids is not recommended unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the risk, in which case patients should be monitored for systemic corticosteroid effects. Alternative corticosteroids which are less dependent on CYP3A metabolism e.g. beclomethasone should be considered, particularly for long term use. |
Dexamethasone (systemic) | Not studied. Dexamethasone may decrease plasma concentrations of darunavir. (CYP3A induction) | Systemic dexamethasone should be used with caution when combined with darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir. |

SEDATIVES/HYPNOTICS | ||
Buspirone Clorazepate Diazepam Estazolam Flurazepam Midazolam (parenteral) Zolpidem | Not studied. Sedative/hypnotics are extensively metabolised by CYP3 A. Co-administration with darunavir/ritonavir may cause a large increase in the concentration of these medicines. If parenteral midazolam is coadministered with darunavir coadministered with low dose ritonavir it may cause a large increase in the concentration of this benzodiazepine. Data from concomitant use of parenteral midazolam with other protease inhibitors suggest a possible 3–4 fold increase in midazolam plasma levels. | Clinical monitoring is recommended when coadministering darunavir with these sedatives/hypnotics and a lower dose of the sedatives/hypnotics should be considered. If parenteral midazolam is coadministered with darunavir with low dose ritonavir, it should be done in an intensive care unit (ICU) or similar setting, which ensures close clinical monitoring and appropriate medical management in case of respiratory depression and/or prolonged sedation. Dose adjustment for midazolam should be considered, especially if more than a single dose of midazolam is administered. |
Midazolam (oral) Triazolam | Darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir is contraindicated with triazolam or oral midazolam (see section 4.3). | |

^ The efficacy and safety of the use of darunavir with 100 mg ritonavir and any other HIV PI (e.g. (fos)amprenavir and tipranavir) has not been established in HIV patients. According to current treatment guidelines, dual therapy with protease inhibitors is generally not recommended.
* Study was conducted with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg once daily.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
As a general rule, when deciding to use antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV infection in pregnant women and consequently for reducing the risk of HIV vertical transmission to the newborn, the animal data as well as the clinical experience in pregnant women should be taken into account.
There are no adequate and well controlled studies on pregnancy outcome with darunavir in pregnant women. Studies in animals do not indicate direct harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonal/foetal development, parturition or postnatal development (see section 5.3).
Darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
Breast-feeding
It is not known whether darunavir is excreted in human milk. Studies in rats have demonstrated that darunavir is excreted in milk and at high levels (1,000 mg/kg/day) resulted in toxicity. Because of both the potential for HIV transmission and the potential for adverse reactions in breast-fed infants, mothers should be instructed not to breast-feed under any circumstances if they are receiving darunavir.
Fertility
No human data on the effect of darunavir on fertility are available. There was no effect on mating or fertility with darunavir treatment in rats (see section 5.3).
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Darunavir in combination with ritonavir has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. However, dizziness has been reported in some patients during treatment with regimens containing darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir and should be borne in mind when considering a patient’s ability to drive or operate machinery (see section 4.8).
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profile
During the clinical development program (N=2,613 treatment-experienced subjects who initiated therapy with darunavir/ ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily), 51.3% of subjects experienced at least one adverse reaction. The total mean treatment duration for subjects was 95.3 weeks. The most frequent adverse reactions reported in clinical trials and as spontaneous reports are diarrhoea, nausea, rash, headache and vomiting. The most frequent serious reactions are acute renal failure, myocardial infarction, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, thrombocytopenia, osteonecrosis, diarrhoea, hepatitis and pyrexia.
In the 96 week analysis, the safety profile of darunavir/ ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily in treatment-naïve subjects was similar to that seen with darunavir/ ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily in treatment-experienced subjects except for nausea which was observed more frequently in treatment-naïve subjects. This was driven by mild intensity nausea. No new safety findings were identified in the 192 week analysis of the treatment-naïve subjects in which the mean treatment duration of darunavir/ ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily was 162.5 weeks.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
Adverse reactions are listed by system organ class (SOC) and frequency category. Within each frequency category, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. Frequency categories are defined as follows: very common (> 1/10), common (> 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (> 1/1,000 to < 1/100), rare (> 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000) and not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data).

Description of selected adverse reactions
Rash
In clinical trials, rash was mostly mild to moderate, often occurring within the first four weeks of treatment and resolving with continued dosing. In cases of severe skin reaction see the warning in section 4.4.
During the clinical development program of raltegravir in treatment-experienced patients, rash, irrespective of causality, was more commonly observed with regimens containing darunavir/ritonavir + raltegravir compared to those containing darunavir/ritonavir without raltegravir or raltegravir without darunavir/ritonavir. Rash considered by the investigator to be drug-related occurred at similar rates. The exposure-adjusted rates of rash (all causality) were 10.9, 4.2, and 3.8 per 100 patient-years (PYR), respectively; and for drug-related rash were 2.4, 1.1, and 2.3 per 100 PYR, respectively. The rashes observed in clinical studies were mild to moderate in severity and did not result in discontinuation of therapy (see section 4.4).
Metabolic parameters
Weight and levels of blood lipids and glucose may increase during antiretroviral therapy (see section 4.4).
Musculoskeletal abnormalities
Increased CPK, myalgia, myositis and rarely, rhabdomyolysis have been reported with the use of protease inhibitors, particularly in combination with NRTIs.
Cases of osteonecrosis have been reported, particularly in patients with generally acknowledged risk factors, advanced HIV disease or long-term exposure to combination antiretroviral therapy (CART). The frequency of this is unknown (see section 4.4).
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome
In HIV infected patients with severe immune deficiency at the time of initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (CART), an inflammatory reaction to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic infections may arise. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported; however, the reported time to onset is more variable and these events can occur many months after initiation of treatment (see section 4.4).
Bleeding in haemophiliac patients
There have been reports of increased spontaneous bleeding in haemophiliac patients receiving antiretroviral protease inhibitors (see section 4.4).
Paediatric population
The safety assessment in paediatric patients is based on the 48-week analysis of safety data from three Phase II trials. The following patient populations were evaluated (see section 5.1):
- • 80 ART-experienced HIV-1 infected paediatric patients aged from 6 to 17 years and weighing at
least 20 kg who received darunavir tablets with low dose ritonavir twice daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
- • 21 ART-experienced HIV-1 infected paediatric patients aged from 3 to < 6 years and weighing
10 kg to < 20 kg (16 participants from 15 kg to < 20 kg) who received darunavir oral suspension with low dose ritonavir twice daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
- • 12 ART-naive HIV-1 infected paediatric patients aged from 12 to 17 years and weighing at least
40 kg who received darunavir tablets with low dose ritonavir once daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents (see section 5.1).
Overall, the safety profile in these paediatric patients was similar to that observed in the adult population.
Other special populations
Patients co-infected with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus
Among 1,968 treatment-experienced patients receiving darunavir co-administered with ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily, 236 patients were co-infected with hepatitis B or C. Co-infected patients were more likely to have baseline and treatment emergent hepatic transaminase elevations than those without chronic viral hepatitis (see section 4.4).
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in
4.9 Overdose
Human experience of acute overdose with darunavir co-administered with low dose ritonavir is limited. Single doses up to 3,200 mg of darunavir as oral solution alone and up to 1,600 mg of the tablet formulation of darunavir in combination with ritonavir have been administered to healthy volunteers without untoward symptomatic effects.
There is no specific antidote for overdose with darunavir. Treatment of overdose with darunavir consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the clinical status of the patient. Since darunavir is highly protein bound, dialysis is unlikely to be beneficial in significant removal of the active substance.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antivirals for systemic use, protease inhibitors, ATC code: J05AE10.
Mechanism of action
Darunavir is an inhibitor of the dimerisation and of the catalytic activity of the HIV-1 protease (KD of 4.5 × 10–12M). It selectively inhibits the cleavage of HIV encoded Gag-Pol polyproteins in virus infected cells, thereby preventing the formation of mature infectious virus particles.
Antiviral activity in vitro
Darunavir exhibits activity against laboratory strains and clinical isolates of HIV-1 and laboratory strains of HIV-2 in acutely infected T-cell lines, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and human monocytes/macrophages with median EC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 8.5 nM (0.7 to 5.0 ng/ml).
Darunavir demonstrates antiviral activity in vitro against a broad panel of HIV-1 group M (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) and group O primary isolates with EC50 values ranging from < 0.1 to 4.3 nM.
These EC50 values are well below the 50% cellular toxicity concentration range of 87 gM to > 100 gM.
Resistance
In vitro selection of darunavir-resistant virus from wild type HIV-1 was lengthy (> 3 years). The selected viruses were unable to grow in the presence of darunavir concentrations above 400 nM.
Viruses selected in these conditions and showing decreased susceptibility to darunavir (range: 23–50-fold) harboured 2 to 4 amino acid substitutions in the protease gene. The decreased susceptibility to darunavir of the emerging viruses in the selection experiment could not be explained by the emergence of these protease mutations.
The clinical trial data from ART-experienced patients (TITAN trial and the pooled analysis of the POWER 1, 2 and 3 and DUET 1 and 2 trials) showed that virologic response to darunavir coadministered with low dose ritonavir was decreased when 3 or more darunavir RAMs (V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L or M, T74P, L76V, I84V and L89V) were present at baseline or when these mutations developed during treatment.
Increasing baseline darunavir fold change in EC50 (FC) was associated with decreasing virologic response. A lower and upper clinical cut-off of 10 and 40 were identified. Isolates with baseline FC < 10 are susceptible; isolates with FC > 10 to 40 have decreased susceptibility; isolates with FC > 40 are resistant (see Clinical results).
Viruses isolated from patients on darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily experiencing virologic failure by rebound that were susceptible to tipranavir at baseline remained susceptible to tipranavir after treatment in the vast majority of cases.
The lowest rates of developing resistant HIV virus are observed in ART-naive patients who are treated for the first time with darunavir in combination with other ART.
The table below shows the development of HIV 1 protease mutations and loss of susceptibility to PIs in virologic failures at endpoint in the ARTEMIS , ODIN and TITAN trials.

Cross-resistance
Darunavir FC was less than 10 for 90% of 3,309 clinical isolates resistant to amprenavir, atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir and/or tipranavir showing that viruses resistant to most PIs remain susceptible to darunavir.
In the virologic failures of the ARTEMIS trial no cross-resistance with other PIs was observed.

Efficacy of darunavir 600 mg twice daily co-administered with 100 mg ritonavir twice daily in ART-experienced patients
The evidence of efficacy of darunavir co-administered with ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) in ART-experienced patients is based on the 96 weeks analysis of the Phase III trial TITAN in ART-experienced lopinavir naïve patients, on the 48 week analysis of the Phase III trial ODIN in ART-experienced patients with no DRV-RAMs, and on the analyses of 96 weeks data from the Phase IIb trials POWER 1 and 2 in ART-experienced patients with high level of PI resistance.
TITAN is a randomised, controlled, open-label Phase III trial comparing darunavir co-administered with ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) versus lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily) in ART-experienced, lopinavir naïve HIV-1 infected adult patients. Both arms used an Optimised Background Regimen (OBR) consisting of at least 2 antiretrovirals (NRTIs with or without NNRTIs).
The table below shows the efficacy data of the 48 week analysis from the TITAN trial.

At 48 weeks non-inferiority in virologic response to the darunavir/ritonavir treatment, defined as the percentage of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA level < 400 and < 50 copies/ml, was demonstrated (at the pre-defined 12% non-inferiority margin) for both ITT and OP populations. These results were confirmed in the analysis of data at 96 weeks of treatment in the TITAN trial, with 60.4% of patients in the darunavir/ritonavir arm having HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/ml at week 96 compared to 55.2% in the lopinavir/ritonavir arm [difference: 5.2%, 95% CI (-2.8; 13.1)].
ODIN is a Phase III, randomised, open-label trial comparing darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily versus darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily in ART-experienced HIV-1 infected patients with screening genotype resistance testing showing no darunavir RAMs (i.e. V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, 28

DELPHI is an open-label, Phase II trial evaluating the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of darunavir with low dose ritonavir in 80 ART-experienced HIV-1 infected paediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years and weighing at least 20 kg. These patients received darunavir/ritonavir twice daily in combination with other antiretroviral agents (see section 4.2 for dosage recommendations per body weight). Virologic response was defined as a decrease in plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load of at least 1.0 log10 versus baseline.
In the study, patients who were at risk of discontinuing therapy due to intolerance of ritonavir oral solution (e.g. taste aversion) were allowed to switch to the capsule formulation. Of the 44 patients taking ritonavir oral solution, 27 switched to the 100 mg capsule formulation and exceeded the weightbased ritonavir dose without changes in observed safety.

Pregnancy and postpartum
Darunavir/ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily or 800/100 mg once daily) in combination with a background regimen was evaluated in a clinical trial of 36 pregnant women (18 in each arm) during the second and third trimesters, and postpartum. Virologic response was preserved throughout the study period in both arms. No mother to child transmission occurred in the infants born to the 31 subjects who stayed on the antiretroviral treatment through delivery. There were no new clinically relevant safety findings compared with the known safety profile of darunavir/ritonavir in HIV-1 infected adults (see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 5.2).
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
The pharmacokinetic properties of darunavir, co-administered with ritonavir, have been evaluated in healthy adult volunteers and in HIV-1 infected patients. Exposure to darunavir was higher in HIV-1 infected patients than in healthy subjects. The increased exposure to darunavir in HIV-1 infected patients compared to healthy subjects may be explained by the higher concentrations of ai-acid glycoprotein (AAG) in HIV-1 infected patients, resulting in higher darunavir binding to plasma AAG and, therefore, higher plasma concentrations.
Darunavir is primarily metabolised by CYP3A. Ritonavir inhibits CYP3A, thereby increasing the plasma concentrations of darunavir considerably.
Absorption
Darunavir was rapidly absorbed following oral administration. Maximum plasma concentration of darunavir in the presence of low dose ritonavir is generally achieved within 2.5–4.0 hours.
The absolute oral bioavailability of a single 600 mg dose of darunavir alone was approximately 37% and increased to approximately 82% in the presence of 100 mg twice daily ritonavir. The overall pharmacokinetic enhancement effect by ritonavir was an approximate 14-fold increase in the systemic exposure of darunavir when a single dose of 600 mg darunavir was given orally in combination with ritonavir at 100 mg twice daily (see section 4.4).
When administered without food, the relative bioavailability of darunavir in the presence of low dose ritonavir is 30% lower as compared to intake with food. Therefore, darunavir tablets should be taken with ritonavir and with food. The type of food does not affect exposure to darunavir.
Distribution
Darunavir is approximately 95% bound to plasma protein. Darunavir binds primarily to plasma a1-acid glycoprotein.
Following intravenous administration, the volume of distribution of darunavir alone was 88.1 ± 59.0 l (Mean ± SD) and increased to 131 ± 49.9 l (Mean ± SD) in the presence of 100 mg twice-daily ritonavir.
Biotransformation
In vitro experiments with human liver microsomes (HLMs) indicate that darunavir primarily undergoes oxidative metabolism. Darunavir is extensively metabolised by the hepatic CYP system and almost exclusively by isozyme CYP3A4. A 14C-darunavir trial in healthy volunteers showed that a majority of the radioactivity in plasma after a single 400/100 mg darunavir with ritonavir dose was due to the parent active substance. At least 3 oxidative metabolites of darunavir have been identified in humans; all showed activity that was at least 10-fold less than the activity of darunavir against wild type HIV.
Elimination
After a 400/100 mg 14C-darunavir with ritonavir dose, approximately 79.5% and 13.9% of the administered dose of 14C-darunavir could be retrieved in faeces and urine, respectively. Unchanged darunavir accounted for approximately 41.2% and 7.7% of the administered dose in faeces and urine, respectively. The terminal elimination half-life of darunavir was approximately 15 hours when combined with ritonavir.
The intravenous clearance of darunavir alone (150 mg) and in the presence of low dose ritonavir was 32.8 l/h and 5.9 l/h, respectively.
Special populations
Paediatric population
The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir taken twice daily in 74 treatment-experienced paediatric patients, aged 6 to 17 years and weighing at least 20 kg, showed that the administered weight-based doses of darunavir/ritonavir resulted in darunavir exposure comparable to that in adults receiving darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily (see section 4.2).
The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir taken twice daily in 14 treatment-experienced paediatric patients, aged 3 to < 6 years and weighing at least 15 kg to < 20 kg, showed that weight-based dosages resulted in darunavir exposure that was comparable to that achieved in adults receiving darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily (see section 4.2).
The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir taken once daily in 12 ART-naïve paediatric patients, aged 12 to < 18 years and weighing at least 40 kg, showed that darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily results in darunavir exposure that was comparable to that achieved in adults receiving darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily. Therefore the same once daily dosage may be used in treatment-experienced adolescents aged 12 to < 18 years and weighing at least 40 kg without darunavir resistance associated mutations (DRV-RAMs)* and who have plasma HIV-1 RNA < 100,000 copies/ml and CD4+ cell count > 100 cells x 106/L (see section 4.2).

The pharmacokinetics of darunavir in combination with ritonavir taken once daily in 10 treatment-experienced paediatric patients, aged 3 to < 6 years and weighing at least 14 kg to < 20 kg, showed that weight-based dosages resulted in darunavir exposure that was comparable to that achieved in adults receiving darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily (see section 4.2). In addition, pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation of darunavir exposures in paediatric patients across the ages of 3 to < 18 years confirmed the darunavir exposures as observed in the clinical studies and allowed the identification of weight-based darunavir/ritonavir once daily dosing regimens for paediatric patients weighing at least 15 kg that are either ART-naïve or treatment-experienced paediatric patients without DRV-RAMs* and who have plasma HIV-1 RNA < 100,000 copies/ml and CD4+ cell count > 100 cells x 106/L (see section 4.2).

Elderly
Population pharmacokinetic analysis in HIV infected patients showed that darunavir pharmacokinetics are not considerably different in the age range (18 to 75 years) evaluated in HIV infected patients (n=12, age > 65) (see section 4.4). However, only limited data were available in patients above the age of 65 year.
Gender
Population pharmacokinetic analysis showed a slightly higher darunavir exposure (16.8%) in HIV infected females compared to males. This difference is not clinically relevant.
Renal impairment
Results from a mass balance study with 14C-darunavir with ritonavir showed that approximately 7.7% of the administered dose of darunavir is excreted in the urine unchanged.
Although darunavir has not been studied in patients with renal impairment, population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the pharmacokinetics of darunavir were not significantly affected in HIV infected patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCl between 30–60 ml/min, n=20) (see sections 4.2 and 4.4).
Hepatic impairment
Darunavir is primarily metabolised and eliminated by the liver. In a multiple dose study with darunavir co-administered with ritonavir (600/100 mg) twice daily, it was demonstrated that the total plasma concentrations of darunavir in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh Class A, n=8) and moderate (Child-Pugh Class B, n=8) hepatic impairment were comparable with those in healthy subjects. However, unbound darunavir concentrations were approximately 55% (Child-Pugh Class A) and 100% (Child-Pugh Class B) higher, respectively. The clinical relevance of this increase is unknown therefore, darunavir should be used with caution. The effect of severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of darunavir has not been studied (see sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4).
Pregnancy and postpartum
The exposure to total darunavir and ritonavir after intake of darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily and darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily as part of an antiretroviral regimen was generally lower during pregnancy compared with postpartum. However, for unbound (i.e. active) darunavir, the pharmacokinetic parameters were less reduced during pregnancy compared to postpartum, due to an increase in the unbound fraction of darunavir during pregnancy compared to postpartum.

5.3 Preclinical safety data
Animal toxicology studies have been conducted at exposures up to clinical exposure levels with darunavir alone, in mice, rats and dogs and in combination with ritonavir in rats and dogs.
In repeated-dose toxicology studies in mice, rats and dogs, there were only limited effects of treatment with darunavir. In rodents the target organs identified were the haematopoietic system, the blood coagulation system, liver and thyroid. A variable but limited decrease in red blood cell-related parameters was observed, together with increases in activated partial thromboplastin time.
Changes were observed in liver (hepatocyte hypertrophy, vacuolation, increased liver enzymes) and thyroid (follicular hypertrophy). In the rat, the combination of darunavir with ritonavir lead to a small increase in effect on RBC parameters, liver and thyroid and increased incidence of islet fibrosis in the pancreas (in male rats only) compared to treatment with darunavir alone. In the dog, no major toxicity findings or target organs were identified up to exposures equivalent to clinical exposure at the recommended dose.
In a study conducted in rats, the number of corpora lutea and implantations were decreased in the presence of maternal toxicity. Otherwise, there were no effects on mating or fertility with darunavir treatment up to 1,000 mg/kg/day and exposure levels below (AUC-0.5 fold) of that in human at the clinically recommended dose. Up to same dose levels, there was no teratogenicity with darunavir in rats and rabbits when treated alone nor in mice when treated in combination with ritonavir. The exposure levels were lower than those with the recommended clinical dose in humans. In a pre- and postnatal development assessment in rats, darunavir with and without ritonavir, caused a transient reduction in body weight gain of the offspring pre-weaning and there was a slight delay in the opening of eyes and ears. Darunavir in combination with ritonavir caused a reduction in the number of pups that exhibited the startle response on day 15 of lactation and a reduced pup survival during lactation. These effects may be secondary to pup exposure to the active substance via the milk and/or maternal toxicity. No post weaning functions were affected with darunavir alone or in combination with ritonavir. In juvenile rats receiving darunavir up to days 23–26, increased mortality was observed with convulsions in some animals. Exposure in plasma, liver and brain was considerably higher than in adult rats after comparable doses in mg/kg between days 5 and 11 of age. After day 23 of life, the exposure was comparable to that in adult rats. The increased exposure was likely at least partly due to immaturity of the drug-metabolising enzymes in juvenile animals. No treatment related mortalities were noted in juvenile rats dosed at 1,000 mg/kg darunavir (single dose) on day 26 of age or at 500 mg/kg (repeated dose) from day 23 to 50 of age, and the exposures and toxicity profile were comparable to those observed in adult rats.
Due to uncertainties regarding the rate of development of the human blood brain barrier and liver enzymes, darunavir with low dose ritonavir should not be used in paediatric patients below 3 years of age.
Darunavir was evaluated for carcinogenic potential by oral gavage administration to mice and rats up to 104 weeks. Daily doses of 150, 450 and 1,000 mg/kg were administered to mice and doses of 50, 150 and 500 mg/kg were administered to rats. Dose-related increases in the incidences of hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas were observed in males and females of both species. Thyroid follicular cell adenomas were noted in male rats. Administration of darunavir did not cause a statistically significant increase in the incidence of any other benign or malignant neoplasm in mice or rats. The observed hepatocellular and thyroid tumours in rodents are considered to be of limited relevance to humans. Repeated administration of darunavir to rats caused hepatic microsomal enzyme induction and increased thyroid hormone elimination, which predispose rats, but not humans, to thyroid neoplasms. At the highest tested doses, the systemic exposures (based on AUC) to darunavir were between 0.4– and 0.7-fold (mice) and 0.7– and 1-fold (rats), relative to those observed in humans at the recommended therapeutic doses.
After 2 years administration of darunavir at exposures at or below the human exposure, kidney changes were observed in mice (nephrosis) and rats (chronic progressive nephropathy).
Darunavir was not mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo assays including bacterial reverse mutation (Ames), chromosomal aberration in human lymphocytes and in vivo micronucleus test in mice.
