Abstract

BackgroundFostemsavir (FTR) is a first-in-class attachment inhibitor being evaluated in heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) HIV-1-infected patients. Active temsavir (TMR) binds to viral envelope glycoprotein 120 and prevents viral attachment and entry into host CD4+ T cells. TMR is primarily metabolized by esterase-mediated hydrolysis with contributions from cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. TMR does not inhibit/induce major CYP or uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes and is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate. TMR and/or its metabolites inhibit BCRP and organic anion transporter protein 1B1/3 (OATP1B1/3). FTR DDI profile informs coadministration with antiretrovirals (ARV) and other therapeutic classes.MethodsDDI data from 13 studies were compiled to inform the impact of 17 drugs or drug combinations on TMR and the impact of TMR on 15 drugs such as ARVs, rifamycins, opioid substitutes, statins, oral contraceptives (OC), and H2-antagonsits.ResultsFTR with CYP3A4, P-gp, and/or BCRP inhibitors increase TMR concentrations; but, do not pose clinical concern at therapeutic dose. TMR may be administered with weak/moderate inducers with or without coadministration of CYP3A4, P-gp, and/or BCRP inhibitors such as RTV or COBI. Coadministration with strong inducers is contraindicated. FTR may be coadministered with RBT with or without a PK enhancer. However, co-administration of FTR with RIF is contraindicated. FTR can be given with drugs that increase gastric pH; famotidine did not impact TMR PK. TMR may increase concentrations of drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1/3 and BCRP; therefore, most statins require dose reduction (e.g., rosuvastatin dose is limited to ≤10 mg QD). TMR increased EE exposure 40% with no impact on NE; therefore, FTR may be coadministered with OCs containing ≤30 µg EE. TMR had no clinically meaningful impact on TDF, DRV/RTV, ATV/RTV, ATV, RTV, ETR, MET, or BUP/norBUP PK (Table 1).ConclusionFTR can be coadministered with ARVs and most common treatments used to manage HIV co-infections or comorbidities without dose adjustment of either drug except for select HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and EE-containing OCs. Strong CYP3A inducers are contraindicated. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
