INDICATIONS AND USAGE
SELZENTRY, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for
adult patients infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1.
This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels in two
controlled studies of SELZENTRY in treatment-experienced subjects and one study
in treatment-naïve subjects. Both studies in treatment-experienced subjects were
conducted in clinically advanced, 3-class antiretroviral-experienced (NRTI,
NNRTI, PI, or enfuvirtide) adults with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite
ongoing antiretroviral therapy.
The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with
SELZENTRY:
Adult patients infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 should use
SELZENTRY.
Tropism testing must be conducted with a highly sensitive tropism assay
that has demonstrated the ability to identify patients appropriate for
SELZENTRY use. Outgrowth of pre-existing low-level CXCR4- or
dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 not detected by tropism testing at screening has
been associated with virologic failure on SELZENTRY.
Use of SELZENTRY is not recommended in subjects with
dual/mixed or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 as efficacy was not
demonstrated in a phase 2 study of this patient group.
The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have not been
established in pediatric patients.
In treatment-naïve subjects, more subjects treated
with SELZENTRY experienced virologic failure and
developed lamivudine resistance compared to efavirenz.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Dose Recommendations for Patients with Normal Renal Function:
The recommended dose of SELZENTRY differs based on concomitant
medications due to drug interactions (see Table 1). SELZENTRY can be taken with
or without food. SELZENTRY must be given in combination with other
antiretroviral medications.
Table 1 gives the recommended dose adjustments.
