2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment The recommended dose of STRIBILD is one tablet (containing 150 mg of elvitegravir, 150 mg of cobicistat, 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir DF) taken orally once daily with food.
Pediatrics (< 18 years of age) No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. Geriatrics (> 65 years of age) No data are available on which to make a dose recommendation for patients over 65 years of age.
Renal Impairment STRIBILD should not be initiated in patients with estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/minute. STRIBILD should be discontinued if estimated creatinine clearance declines below 50 mL/minute during treatment with STRIBILD as dose interval adjustment required for emtricitabine and tenofovir DF cannot be achieved with the fixed-dose combination tablet (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
Hepatic Impairment Limited data on the use of STRIBILD in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B, respectively) suggests that no dose adjustment of STRIBILD is required in these patients. STRIBILD has not been studied in patients with sev ere hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) (see 10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Special Populations and Conditions).
4 Administration The recommended dose of STRIBILD is one tablet (containing 150 mg of elvitegravir, 150 mg of cobicistat, 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir DF) taken orally once daily with food. 5 Missed Dose If a patient misses a dose of STRIBILD within 12 hours of the time it is usually taken, the patient should take STRIBILD with a meal as soon as possible, and then take the next dose of STRIBILD at the regularly scheduled time.
If a patient misses a dose of STRIBILD by more than 12 hours, the patient should not take the missed dose, but resume the usual dosing schedule.
1 Adverse Reaction Overview The following adverse drug reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: • Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis [See 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX]. • Severe Acute Exacerbations of Hepatitis B [See 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX].
• New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment [See 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX]. • Decreases in Bone Mineral Density [See 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. • Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome [See 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials; therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. In Treatment-Naïve HIV-1 Infected Patients Product Monograph STRIBILD (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) tablets Page 16 of 75 The safety assessment of STRIBILD at Week 48 and Week 144 is based on the pooled data from 1408 patients in two Phase 3 trials, Study 102 and Study 103, in antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected adult patients.
A total of 701 patients received STRIBILD once daily in these two studies. 5% through Week 144 respectively. The most common adverse reaction (incidence greater than or equal to 2%) occurring in patients receiving STRIBILD in Studies 102 and 103 through Week 48 and Week 144 is diarrhea.
The safety profile of STRIBILD at Week 144 was consistent with that at Week 48. See also Table 3 for the frequency of adverse reactions (Grades 2-4) occurring in at least 2% of patients in any treatment arm in Studies 102 and 103.

, Hepatic/Biliary/Pancreatic). Post-Treatment Exacerbation of Hepatitis B STRIBILD is not approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the safety and efficacy of STRIBILD have not been established in patients coinfected with HBV and HIV.
Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV after the discontinuation of emtricitabine or tenofovir DF, two of the components of STRIBILD. Hepatic function should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients who discontinue STRIBILD and are coinfected with HIV and HBV.
1 Special Populations). Nephrotoxicity Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia) has been reported with the use of STRIBILD (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal).
2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment The recommended dose of STRIBILD is one tablet (containing 150 mg of elvitegravir, 150 mg of cobicistat, 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir DF) taken orally once daily with food.

STRIBILD is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the product. For a complete listing, see the 6 DOSAGE FORMS, STRENGTHS, COMPOSITION AND PACKAGING section of the Product Monograph. Coadministration of STRIBILD is contraindicated with drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations are a ssociated with serious and/or life-threatening events, and with drugs that are potent inducers of CYP3A due to the potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance to STRIBILD.
Coadministration with the drugs listed in Table 1 is contraindicated due to the potential for serious and/or life-threatening events or loss of virologic response and possible resistance to STRIBILD. 4 Drug-Drug Interactions.

Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on Grade 2-4 treatment-emergent adverse events, attributed to study drugs. b. The cumulative results are reported for each analysis (ie, results from Week 0 to Week 48 are reported for Week 48 analysis and results from Week 0 to Week 144 are reported for Week 144 analysis).
Product Monograph STRIBILD (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) tablets Page 18 of 75 Additional treatment-emergent adverse drug reactions of at least moderate intensity (≥ Grade 2) that occurred in less than 2% of patients treated with STRIBILD in Studies 102 and 103 include vomiting, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, flatulence, insomnia, asthenia, pyrexia, chest pain, myalgia, somnolence, renal failure, Fanconi syndrome, and increased blood creatinine.
Adverse drug reactions of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving elvitegravir or STRIBILD, all of whom had a pre-existing history of depression or psychiatric illness. Of the 701 patients who received STRIBILD for 144 weeks in Studies 102 and 103, renal even ts with laboratory findings consistent with proximal renal tubular injury leading to STRIBILD discontinuation were reported in 4 patients during the first 48 weeks.
These findings largely reversed upon discontinuation of STRIBILD without clinical sequelae. All 4 patients had renal impairment at baseline or were at risk for renal impairment. No additional proximal renal tubular dysfunction cases were reported from Week 48 to Week 144 (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal).
In Virologically-Suppressed HIV-Infected Patients No new adverse drug reactions to STRIBILD through Week 48 were identified in 584 virologically stably suppressed patients switching to STRIBILD from a regimen containing a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).
In a combined analysis of Studies 115 and 121, the frequency of adverse rea ctions (all grades) was 24% in patients switching to STRIBILD compared to 6% of patients in either group who stayed on their baseline antiretroviral regimen, RTV-boosted PI + TRUVADA or NNRTI + TRUVADA.
Common adverse reactions that occurred in greater than or equal to 2% of patients switching to STRIBILD were nausea (4%), flatulence (2%), and headache (2%). The proportion of patients who discontinued treatment with STRIBILD, the RTV-boosted PI, or the NNRTI due to adverse events, was 2%, 3% and 1%, respectively.

4 Administration The recommended dose of STRIBILD is one tablet (containing 150 mg of elvitegravir, 150 mg of cobicistat, 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir DF) taken orally once daily with food. 5 Missed Dose If a patient misses a dose of STRIBILD within 12 hours of the time it is usually taken, the patient should take STRIBILD with a meal as soon as possible, and then take the next dose of STRIBILD at the regularly scheduled time.
If a patient misses a dose of STRIBILD by more than 12 hours, the patient should not take the missed dose, but resume the usual dosing schedule. 5 OVERDOSAGE If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity, and standard supportive treatment applied as necessary including monitoring of vital signs and observation of Product Monograph STRIBILD (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) tablets Page 8 of 75 the patient’s clinical status.
Hemodialysis can remove both emtricitabine and tenofovir DF (refer to information below). Elvitegravir Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the therapeutic dose of elvitegravir. In one study, boosted elvitegravir equivalent to 2 times the therapeutic dose of 150 mg once daily for 10 days was administered to 42 healthy patients.
No severe adverse reactions were reported. The effects of higher doses are not known. As elvitegravir is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that it will be significantly removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Cobicistat Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the therapeutic dose of cobicistat.
In two studies, a single dose of cobicistat 400 mg was administered to a total of 60 healthy patients. No severe adverse reactions were reported. The effects of higher doses are not known. As cobicistat is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that it will be significantly removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
5 hours of emtricitabine dosing (blood flow rate of 400 mL/minute and a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL/minute), however, a single treatment does not significantly affect emtricitabine Cmax or AUC. It is not known whether emtricitabine can be removed by peritoneal dialysis.
Tenofovir DF Tenofovir is efficiently removed by hemodialysis with an extraction coefficient of approximately 54%. Following a single 300 mg dose of tenofovir DF, a four-hour hemodialysis session removed approximately 10% of the administered tenofovir dose.

Benzodiazepines orally administered midazolam*, triazolam Triazolam and orally administered midazolam are extensively metabolized by CYP3A4. Coadministration of triazolam or orally administered midazolam with STRIBILD may cause large increases in the concentration of these benzodiazepines.
The potential exists for serious and/or life-threatening events such as prolonged or increased sedation or respiratory depression. Beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist salmeterol Coadministration of salmeterol with STRIBILD may result in increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events associated with salmeterol, including QT prolongation, palpitations, and sinus tachycardia.
Direct oral anticoagulants apixaban, rivaroxaban Apixaban and rivaroxaban are primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and transported by P-gp. Coadministration with STRIBILD may result in increased plasma concentrations of apixaban or rivaroxaban, which may lead to an increased bleeding risk.
Ergot derivatives dihydroergotamine, ergonovine, ergotamine, methylergonovine* Potential for serious and/or life-threatening events such as acute ergot toxicity characterized by peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues.
Product Monograph STRIBILD (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) tablets Page 6 of 75 Drug Class Drugs within class that are contraindicated with STRIBILD Clinical Comment GI motility agents cisapride* Potential for serious and/or life-threatening events such as cardiac arrhythmias.
Herbal products St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) Patients taking STRIBILD should not use products containing St. John’s wort because coadministration may result in reduced plasma concentrations of elvitegravir and cobicistat. This may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance.
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors lovastatin, simvastatin Potential for serious reactions such as myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor lomitapide Potential for increased lomitapide concentrations which may result in markedly increased transaminases.
PDE-5 inhibitors sildenafil† A safe and effective dose in combination with STRIBILD has not been established for sildenafil (Revatio®) when used for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. There is increased potential for sildenafil-associated adverse events (which include visual disturbances, hypotension, priapism, and syncope).
