What is Prezcobix (Tenofovir Alafenamide)?
PREZCOBIX is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions . PREZCOBIX is a two-drug combination of darunavir, a human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitor, and cobicistat, a CYP3A inhibitor, and is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions .

A Phase 2 Randomized Cross-Over Design Study of the Early Metabolic Effects of Dolutegravir or Tenofovir Alafenamide in Healthy Volunteers
Background: People with HIV take drugs to keep the amount of virus in their body low. One type of these drugs, called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), can cause weight gain over time. Weight gain can cause diabetes, heart disease, and other serious issues. Researchers want to understand how INSTIs cause weight changes.
Prefrontal Cortical Stimulation (PCS) for Severe Treatment Resistant Depression
Summary: This research study is designed to test if electrical stimulation of the surface of the brain in the frontal region will help treat depressive symptoms. Participants receive intermittent electrical stimulation to the brain, which involves surgically placing electric leads in between the tough fibrous membrane covering the surface of the brain and the surface of the brain itself. This type of stimu...
Feasibility of CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) and Plasma ctDNA (Circulating Tumor Deoxyribonucleic) in BRAF (V-raf Murine Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B1)-Altered Glioma During Treatment With Plixorafenib
Summary: Evaluating the sensitivity and feasibility of using ctDNA assays optimized for detecting very low ctDNA counts from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. The investigators will evaluate the sensitivity of ctDNA from plasma and CSF at baseline (defined as Cycle1 Day1 (C1D1) pre-treatment) and over time in response to treatment with plixorafenib co-administered with cobicistat in BRAF-V600E mutant g...

PREZCOBIX (DARUNAVIR ETHANOLATE and COBICISTAT)
1INDICATIONS AND USAGE
PREZCOBIX is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions (V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V, L89V).
2DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
PREZCOBIX is supplied as pink, oval-shaped, film-coated tablets containing darunavir ethanolate equivalent to 800 mg of darunavir and 150 mg cobicistat. Each tablet is debossed with "800" on one side and "TG" on the other side.
3CONTRAINDICATIONS
Darunavir and cobicistat are both inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. PREZCOBIX should not be co-administered with medicinal products that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which increased plasma concentrations are associated with serious and/or life threatening events (narrow therapeutic index). Darunavir and cobicistat are both substrates of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoform. Co-administration of PREZCOBIX with CYP3A inducers may lead to lower exposures of darunavir and cobicistat and potential loss of efficacy of darunavir and possible resistance. Examples of drugs that are contraindicated for co-administration with PREZCOBIX
- Alpha 1-adrenoreceptor antagonist: alfuzosin
- Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin
- Anti-gout: colchicine, in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment
- Antimycobacterial: rifampin
- Antipsychotics: lurasidone, pimozide
- Cardiac Disorders: dronedarone, ivabradine, ranolazine
- Ergot derivatives, e.g. dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, methylergonovine
- Herbal product: St. John's wort (
- Hepatitis C direct acting antiviral: elbasvir/grazoprevir
- Lipid modifying agents: lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin
- Opioid Antagonist: naloxegol
- PDE-5 inhibitor: sildenafil when used for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
- Sedatives/hypnotics: orally administered midazolam, triazolam
4ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling:
- Hepatotoxicity
- Severe skin reactions
- Effects on serum creatinine
- New onset or worsening renal impairment when used with tenofovir DF
- Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
4.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
4.2Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of darunavir. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
5OVERDOSAGE
Human experience of acute overdose with PREZCOBIX is limited. No specific antidote is available for overdose with PREZCOBIX. Treatment of overdose with PREZCOBIX consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the clinical status of the patient. Since both darunavir and cobicistat are highly protein bound, dialysis is unlikely to be beneficial in significant removal of the active substance.
6DESCRIPTION
