1 Adverse Reactions from Clinical 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 practice.
Clinical Trials in Adult Patients with HIV-1 Infection More than 12,000 subjects have been treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets alone or in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products for periods of 28 days to 215 weeks in clinical trials and expanded access programs.
A total of 1,544 subjects have received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets 300 mg once daily in clinical trials; over 11,000 subjects have received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in expanded access programs. The most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 10%, Grades 2 to 4) identified from any of the 3 large controlled clinical trials include rash, diarrhea, headache, pain, depression, asthenia, and nausea.
Treatment-Naïve Patients Study 903 - Treatment-Emergent Adverse-Reactions:
The most common adverse reactions seen in a double-blind comparative controlled trial in which 600 treatment-naïve subjects received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets (N=299) or stavudine (N=301) in combination with lamivudine and efavirenz for 144 weeks (Study 903) were mild to moderate gastrointestinal events and dizziness.
Mild adverse reactions (Grade 1) were common with a similar incidence in both arms and included dizziness, diarrhea, and nausea. Selected treatment-emergent moderate to severe adverse reactions are summarized in Table 4.

Laboratory Abnormalities:
Laboratory abnormalities observed in this trial occurred with similar frequency in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and placebo-treated groups. A summary of Grades 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities is provided in Table 9.

The adverse reactions observed in subjects who received treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were consistent with those observed in clinical trials in adults. Eighty-nine pediatric subjects (2 to less than 12 years of age) received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in Study 352 for a median exposure of 104 weeks.
Of these, 4 subjects discontinued from the trial due to adverse reactions consistent with proximal renal tubulopathy. 6)].
Changes in Bone Mineral Density:
Clinical trials in HIV-1 infected children and adolescents evaluated BMD changes. In Study 321 (12 to less than 18 years), the mean rate of BMD gain at Week 48 was less in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets compared to the placebo treatment group.
Six tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets-treated subjects and one placebo-treated subject had significant (greater than 4%) lumbar spine BMD loss at Week 48. 458 for total body in the 28 subjects who were treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for 96 weeks.
In Study 352 (2 to less than 12 years), the mean rate of BMD gain in lumbar spine at Week 48 was similar between the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and the d4T or AZT treatment groups. Total body BMD gain was less in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets compared to the d4T or AZT treatment groups.
One tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-treated subject and none of the d4T or AZT-treated subjects experienced significant (greater than 4%) lumbar spine BMD loss at Week 48. 338 for total body in the 64 subjects who were treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for 96 weeks.
6)]. Clinical Trials in Adult Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis B and Compensated Liver Disease Treatment-Emergent Adverse Reactions: In controlled clinical trials in 641 subjects with chronic hepatitis B (0102 and 0103), more subjects treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets during the 48-week double-blind period experienced nausea: 9% with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets versus 2% with HEPSERA.
Other treatment-emergent adverse reactions reported in more than 5% of subjects treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets included: abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, back pain, and skin rash.
5 mg/dL from baseline. No significant change in the tolerability profile was observed with continued treatment for up to 384 weeks.
Laboratory Abnormalities:
A summary of Grades 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities through Week 48 is provided in Table 10. Grades 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities were similar in subjects continuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets treatment for up to 384 weeks in these trials.
6%) and HEPSERA (2%). ALT flares generally occurred within the first 4 to 8 weeks of treatment and were accompanied by decreases in HBV DNA levels. No subject had evidence of decompensation. ALT flares typically resolved within 4 to 8 weeks without changes in study medication.
The adverse reactions observed in subjects with chronic hepatitis B and lamivudine resistance who received treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were consistent with those observed in other hepatitis B clinical trials in adults.
2)]. Among the 45 subjects receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, the most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse reactions of any severity were abdominal pain (22%), nausea (20%), insomnia (18%), pruritus (16%), vomiting (13%), dizziness (13%), and pyrexia (11%).
Two of 45 (4%) subjects died through Week 48 of the trial due to progression of liver disease. Three of 45 (7%) subjects discontinued treatment due to an adverse event. 5 mg/dL (1 subject also had a confirmed serum phosphorus less than 2 mg/dL through Week 48).
Three of these subjects (each of whom had a Child-Pugh score greater than or equal to 10 and MELD score greater than or equal to 14 at entry) developed renal failure. Because both tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and decompensated liver disease may have an impact on renal function, the contribution of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets to renal impairment in this population is difficult to ascertain.
One of 45 subjects experienced an on-treatment hepatic flare during the 48-Week trial. Clinical Trials in Pediatric Subjects 12 Years of Age and Older with Chronic Hepatitis B Assessment of adverse reactions is based on one randomized study (Study GS-US-174-0115) in 106 pediatric subjects (12 to less than 18 years of age) infected with chronic hepatitis B receiving treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets (N=52) or placebo (N=54) for 72 weeks.
The adverse reactions observed in pediatric subjects who received treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in adults. In this study, both the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and placebo treatment arms experienced an overall increase in mean lumbar spine BMD over 72 weeks, as expected for an adolescent population.
The BMD gains from baseline to Week 72 in lumbar spine and total body BMD in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-treated subjects (+5% and +3%, respectively) were less than the BMD gains observed in placebo-treated subjects (+8% and +5%, respectively).
Three subjects in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets group and two subjects in the placebo group had significant (greater than 4%) lumbar spine BMD loss at Week 72. 26 for total body. 06, respectively, in subjects receiving placebo.
6)]. 2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Because postmarketing 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.
