Delstrigo is a brand name for Doravirine. The medicine, its uses, side effects and dosage are the same regardless of brand.
Used for: Delstrigo is indicated for the treatment of adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) without past or present evidence of resistance to the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) class, lamivudine, or tenofovir (see sections 4.4 and 5.1). Delstrigo is also indicated for the…

Therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the management of HIV infection. Posology The recommended dose of Delstrigo is one 100/300/245 mg tablet taken orally once daily with or without food. Dose adjustment If Delstrigo is co-administered with rifabutin, the doravirine dose should be increased to 100 mg twice daily.
5). Co-administration of doravirine with other moderate CYP3A inducers has not been evaluated, but decreased doravirine concentrations are expected. 5). 3 Missed dose If the patient misses a dose of Delstrigo within 12 hours of the time it is usually taken, the patient should take Delstrigo as soon as possible and resume the normal dosing schedule.
If a patient misses a dose of Delstrigo by more than 12 hours, the patient should not take the missed dose and instead take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. The patient should not take 2 doses at one time. Special populations Elderly There are limited data available on the use of doravirine, lamivudine, and tenofovir disoproxil in patients aged 65 years and over.
2). 4). Renal impairment No dose adjustment of Delstrigo is required in patients with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min. 2). 4). 2). Hepatic impairment No dose adjustment of doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil is required in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment.
Doravirine has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). It is not known whether the exposure to doravirine will increase in patients with severe hepatic impairment. 2). Paediatric population Safety and efficacy of Delstrigo in children aged less than 12 years or weighing less than 35 kg have not been established.
No data are available. 2).
Summary of the safety profile In phase 3 clinical trials with doravirine plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), the most frequently reported adverse reactions were nausea (4 %) and headache (3 %). Tabulated summary of adverse reactions The adverse reactions with doravirine plus 2 NRTIs from Phase 3 clinical trials (DRIVE-FORWARD, DRIVE-SHIFT and DRIVE-AHEAD) and post-marketing experience are listed below by body system organ class and frequency.
Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. Frequencies are defined as 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), very rare (< 1/10 000), or not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).

NNRTI substitutions and use of doravirine Doravirine has not been evaluated in patients with previous virologic failure to any other antiretroviral therapy. NNRTI-associated mutations detected at screening were part of exclusion criteria in the Phase 2b/3-studies.
1). There is not sufficient clinical evidence to support the use of doravirine in patients infected with HIV-1 with evidence of resistance to the NNRTI class. 8). At the time of prescription, patients should be advised of the signs and symptoms and monitored closely for skin reactions.
If signs and symptoms suggestive of these reactions appear, doravirine-containing regimens should be withdrawn immediately and an alternative treatment considered (as appropriate). Clinical status should be closely monitored, and appropriate therapy should be initiated.
If the patient has developed a serious reaction such as TEN, with the use of doravirine-containing regimens, treatment with doravirine-containing regimens must not be restarted in this patient at any time. Severe acute exacerbation of hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV All patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) before initiating antiretroviral therapy.
, liver decompensated and liver failure) have been reported in patients who are co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, and have discontinued lamivudine or tenofovir disoproxil, two of the components of Delstrigo. Patients who are co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment with Delstrigo.
If appropriate, initiation of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted, especially in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, since post-treatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure.

The highest frequency category reported in the 3TC or TDF SmPC is used. †This adverse reaction was not identified as an adverse reaction associated with doravirine from the Phase 3 clinical studies (DRIVE-FORWARD, DRIVE-AHEAD, DRIVE-SHIFT), but was seen during post-marketing use of doravirine-containing regimens and is an adverse reaction listed in the SmPC of 3TC and TDF.
The highest frequency category reported in the 3TC and TDF SmPCs is used. ‡This adverse reaction may occur as a consequence of proximal renal tubulopathy. It is not considered to be causally associated with tenofovir disoproxil in the absence of this condition.

4). Lactic acidosis Cases of lactic acidosis have been reported with tenofovir disoproxil alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Patients with predisposing factors such as patients with decompensated liver disease, or patients receiving concomitant medicinal products known to induce lactic acidosis are at increased risk of experiencing severe lactic acidosis during tenofovir disoproxil treatment, including fatal outcomes.

New onset or worsening renal impairment Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphataemia), has been reported with the use of tenofovir disoproxil, a component of Delstrigo.
5). 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 tenofovir disoproxil. Some patients required hospitalisation 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 at risk patients.
It is recommended that estimated CrCl be assessed in all patients prior to initiating therapy and as clinically appropriate during therapy with Delstrigo. In patients at risk of renal dysfunction, including patients who have previously experienced renal events while receiving adefovir dipivoxil, it is recommended that estimated CrCl, serum phosphorus, urine glucose, and urine protein be assessed 5 prior to initiation of Delstrigo and more frequent renal function monitoring should be assessed as appropriate per the patient’s medical condition during Delstrigo therapy.
Lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil are primarily excreted by the kidney. 2). 8). Reductions of bone mineral density (BMD) have been observed with tenofovir disoproxil in randomised controlled clinical trials of duration up to 144 weeks in HIV or HBV-infected patients.
These BMD decreases generally improved after treatment discontinuation. In other studies (prospective and cross-sectional), the most pronounced decreases in BMD were seen in patients treated with tenofovir disoproxil as part of a regimen containing a boosted protease inhibitor.
Overall, in view of the bone abnormalities associated with tenofovir disoproxil and the limitations of long-term data on the impact of tenofovir disoproxil on bone health and fracture risk, alternative treatment regimens should be considered for patients with osteoporosis or with a history of bone fractures.
If bone abnormalities are suspected or detected, then appropriate consultation should be obtained. Bone effects in paediatric population There are uncertainties associated with the long-term effects of bone toxicity. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is recommended to adequately weigh on a case-by-case basis the benefit/risk balance of treatment, decide the appropriate monitoring during treatment (including decision for treatment withdrawal) and consider the need for supplementation.
Tenofovir disoproxil may cause a reduction in BMD. The effects of tenofovir disoproxil-associated changes in BMD on long-term bone health and […]
