2.1 OLYSIO Combination Treatment
Administer OLYSIO in combination with other antiviral drugs for the treatment of CHC infection. Monitor liver chemistry tests before and during OLYSIO combination therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. OLYSIO monotherapy is not recommended. For specific dosing recommendations for the antiviral drugs used in combination with OLYSIO, refer to their respective prescribing information. Administer OLYSIO in combination with either:
Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV: Table 1 displays the recommended dosage regimen and treatment duration of OLYSIO in combination with Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV. Refer to Table 3 for treatment stopping rules for OLYSIO combination therapy with Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV; or Sofosbuvir: Table 2 displays the recommended dosage regimen and treatment duration of OLYSIO in combination with sofosbuvir.The recommended dosage of OLYSIO is one capsule taken orally once daily with food. The capsule should be swallowed as a whole.

Prior to initiation of treatment with OLYSIO with Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV, screening patients with HCV genotype 1a infection for the presence of virus with the NS3 Q80K polymorphism is strongly recommended and alternative therapy should be considered for patients infected with HCV genotype 1a containing the Q80K polymorphism. Prior to initiation of treatment with OLYSIO with sofosbuvir, screening patients infected with HCV genotype 1a for the presence of virus with the NS3 Q80K polymorphism is not strongly recommended but may be considered [see Indications and Usage (1)].
2.3 Discontinuation of Dosing
Use with Peg-IFN-Alfa and RBV
During treatment, HCV RNA levels should be monitored as clinically indicated using a sensitive assay with a lower limit of quantification of at least 25 IU/mL.
Because patients with an inadequate on-treatment virologic response (i.e., HCV RNA ≥ 25 IU/mL) are not likely to achieve a sustained virologic response (SVR), discontinuation of treatment is recommended in these patients. Table 3 presents treatment stopping rules for patients who experience an inadequate on-treatment virologic response at Weeks 4, 12, and 24.
Table 3: Treatment Stopping Rules in Patients Receiving OLYSIO in Combination with Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV with Inadequate On-Treatment Virologic Response Treatment Week HCV RNA Action Week 4 ≥ 25 IU/mL Discontinue OLYSIO, Peg-IFN-alfa, and RBV Week 12 Discontinue Peg-IFN-alfa, and RBV (treatment with OLYSIO is complete at Week 12) Week 24 Discontinue Peg-IFN-alfa, and RBV (treatment with OLYSIO is complete at Week 12)Use with Sofosbuvir
No treatment stopping rules apply to the combination of OLYSIO with sofosbuvir [see Clinical Studies (14)].
2.4 Dosage Adjustment or Interruption
To prevent treatment failure, avoid reducing the dosage of OLYSIO or interrupting treatment. If treatment with OLYSIO is discontinued because of adverse reactions or inadequate on-treatment virologic response, OLYSIO treatment must not be reinitiated.
If adverse reactions potentially related to the antiviral drug(s) used in combination with OLYSIO occur, refer to the instructions outlined in their respective prescribing information for recommendations on dosage adjustment or interruption.
If any of the other antiviral drugs used in combination with OLYSIO for the treatment of CHC infection are permanently discontinued for any reason, OLYSIO should also be discontinued.
2.5 Hepatic Impairment
OLYSIO is not recommended for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8)]. There have been postmarketing reports of hepatic decompensation, hepatic failure, and death in patients with advanced or decompensated cirrhosis receiving OLYSIO combination therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. Simeprevir exposures are increased in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
In clinical trials, higher simeprevir exposures have been associated with increased frequency of adverse reactions, including increased bilirubin, rash and photosensitivity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
OLYSIO in combination with Peg-IFN-alfa and RBV is contraindicated in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (moderate or severe hepatic impairment) [see Peg-IFN-alfa prescribing information].

Prezcobix
2.1 Recommended Dosage
PREZCOBIX is a fixed-dose combination product containing 800 mg of darunavir and 150 mg of cobicistat. In treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adults with no darunavir resistance-associated substitutions, the recommended dosage of PREZCOBIX is one tablet taken once daily orally with food. Administer PREZCOBIX in conjunction with other antiretroviral agents.
2.2 Testing Prior to Initiation of PREZCOBIX
HIV Genotypic Testing:
HIV genotypic testing is recommended for antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients. However, when HIV genotypic testing is not feasible, PREZCOBIX can be used in protease inhibitor-naïve patients, but is not recommended in protease inhibitor-experienced patients.
Creatinine Clearance:
Prior to starting PREZCOBIX, assess estimated creatinine clearance because cobicistat decreases estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. When coadministering PREZCOBIX with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) assess estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein at baseline [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
2.3 Patients with Renal Impairment
PREZCOBIX coadministered with tenofovir DF is not recommended in patients who have an estimated creatinine clearance below 70 mL/min [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
2.4 Patients with Hepatic Impairment
PREZCOBIX is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Procrit
2.1 Evaluation of Iron Stores and Nutritional Factors
Evaluate the iron status in all patients before and during treatment and maintain iron repletion. Correct or exclude other causes of anemia (e.g., vitamin deficiency, metabolic or chronic inflammatory conditions, bleeding, etc.) before initiating PROCRIT [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11)].
2.2 Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
In controlled trials, patients experienced greater risks for death, serious adverse cardiovascular reactions, and stroke when administered erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to target a hemoglobin level of greater than 11 g/dL. No trial has identified a hemoglobin target level, ESA dose, or dosing strategy that does not increase these risks. Individualize dosing and use the lowest dose of PROCRIT sufficient to reduce the need for RBC transfusions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Physicians and patients should weigh the possible benefits of decreasing transfusions against the increased risks of death and other serious cardiovascular adverse events [see Boxed Warning and Clinical Studies (14)].
For all patients with CKD:
When initiating or adjusting therapy, monitor hemoglobin levels at least weekly until stable, then monitor at least monthly. When adjusting therapy consider hemoglobin rate of rise, rate of decline, ESA responsiveness and hemoglobin variability. A single hemoglobin excursion may not require a dosing change.
Do not increase the dose more frequently than once every 4 weeks. Decreases in dose can occur more frequently. Avoid frequent dose adjustments. If the hemoglobin rises rapidly (e.g., more than 1 g/dL in any 2-week period), reduce the dose of PROCRIT by 25% or more as needed to reduce rapid responses. For patients who do not respond adequately, if the hemoglobin has not increased by more than 1 g/dL after 4 weeks of therapy, increase the dose by 25%. For patients who do not respond adequately over a 12-week escalation period, increasing the PROCRIT dose further is unlikely to improve response and may increase risks. Use the lowest dose that will maintain a hemoglobin level sufficient to reduce the need for RBC transfusions. Evaluate other causes of anemia. Discontinue PROCRIT if responsiveness does not improve.For patients with CKD on dialysis:
Initiate PROCRIT treatment when the hemoglobin level is less than 10 g/dL. If the hemoglobin level approaches or exceeds 11 g/dL, reduce or interrupt the dose of PROCRIT. The recommended starting dose for adult patients is 50 to 100 Units/kg 3 times weekly intravenously or subcutaneously. For pediatric patients, a starting dose of 50 Units/kg 3 times weekly intravenously or subcutaneously is recommended. The intravenous route is recommended for patients on hemodialysis.For patients with CKD not on dialysis:
Consider initiating PROCRIT treatment only when the hemoglobin level is less than 10 g/dL and the following considerations apply: The rate of hemoglobin decline indicates the likelihood of requiring a RBC transfusion and, Reducing the risk of alloimmunization and/or other RBC transfusion-related risks is a goal If the hemoglobin level exceeds 10 g/dL, reduce or interrupt the dose of PROCRIT, and use the lowest dose of PROCRIT sufficient to reduce the need for RBC transfusions. The recommended starting dose for adult patients is 50 to 100 Units/kg 3 times weekly intravenously or subcutaneously.When treating patients who have chronic kidney disease and cancer, physicians should refer to Warnings and Precautions (5.1 and 5.3).
Refer patients who self-administer PROCRIT to the Instructions for Use [see Patient Counseling Information (17)].
2.3 Zidovudine-treated HIV-infected Patients
Starting Dose
The recommended starting dose in adults is 100 Units/kg as an intravenous or subcutaneous injection 3 times per week.
Dose Adjustment
If hemoglobin does not increase after 8 weeks of therapy, increase PROCRIT dose by approximately 50 to 100 Units/kg at 4- to 8-week intervals until hemoglobin reaches a level needed to avoid RBC transfusions or 300 Units/kg. Withhold PROCRIT if hemoglobin exceeds 12 g/dL. Resume therapy at a dose 25% below the previous dose when hemoglobin declines to less than 11 g/dL.Discontinue PROCRIT if an increase in hemoglobin is not achieved at a dose of 300 Units/kg for 8 weeks.
2.4 Patients on Cancer Chemotherapy
Initiate PROCRIT in patients on cancer chemotherapy only if the hemoglobin is less than 10 g/dL, and if there is a minimum of two additional months of planned chemotherapy.
Use the lowest dose of PROCRIT necessary to avoid RBC transfusions.
Recommended Starting Dose
Adults:
150 Units/kg subcutaneously 3 times per week until completion of a chemotherapy course or 40,000 Units subcutaneously weekly until completion of a chemotherapy course.Pediatric Patients (5 to 18 years):
600 Units/kg intravenously weekly until completion of a chemotherapy course.Dose Reduction
Reduce dose by 25% if:
Hemoglobin increases greater than 1 g/dL in any 2-week period or Hemoglobin reaches a level needed to avoid RBC transfusion.Withhold dose if hemoglobin exceeds a level needed to avoid RBC transfusion. Reinitiate at a dose 25% below the previous dose when hemoglobin approaches a level where RBC transfusions may be required.
Dose Increase
After the initial 4 weeks of PROCRIT therapy, if hemoglobin increases by less than 1 g/dL and remains below 10 g/dL, increase dose to:
300 Units/kg three times per week in adults or 60,000 Units weekly in adults 900 Units/kg (maximum 60,000 Units) weekly in childrenAfter 8 weeks of therapy, if there is no response as measured by hemoglobin levels or if RBC transfusions are still required, discontinue PROCRIT.
2.5 Surgery Patients
The recommended PROCRIT regimens are:
300 Units/kg per day subcutaneously for 15 days total: administered daily for 10 days before surgery, on the day of surgery, and for 4 days after surgery. 600 Units/kg subcutaneously in 4 doses administered 21, 14, and 7 days before surgery and on the day of surgery.Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis is recommended during PROCRIT therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
2.6 Preparation and Administration
Do not shake. Do not use PROCRIT that has been shaken or frozen. Protect vials from light. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use any vials exhibiting particulate matter or discoloration. Discard unused portions of PROCRIT in preservative-free vials. Do not re-enter preservative-free vials. Store unused portions of PROCRIT in multidose vials at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). Discard 21 days after initial entry. Do not dilute. Do not mix with other drug solutions except for admixing as described below: Preservative-free PROCRIT from single-use vials may be admixed in a syringe with bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP, with benzyl alcohol 0.9% (bacteriostatic saline) in a 1:1 ratio using aseptic technique at the time of administration. Risks are associated with benzyl alcohol in neonates, infants, pregnant women, and nursing mothers [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3, 8.4)]. -
Prezista
2.1 Adult Patients
PREZISTA must be co-administered with ritonavir to exert its therapeutic effect. Failure to correctly co-administer PREZISTA with ritonavir will result in plasma levels of darunavir that will be insufficient to achieve the desired antiviral effect and will alter some drug interactions.
Patients who have difficulty swallowing PREZISTA tablets can use the 100 mg/mL PREZISTA oral suspension.
Treatment-Naïve Adult Patients
The recommended oral dose of PREZISTA is 800 mg (one 800 mg tablet or 8 mL of the oral suspension) taken with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL of a 80 mg/mL ritonavir oral solution) once daily and with food. An 8 mL darunavir dose should be taken as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe.
Treatment-Experienced Adult Patients
Table 1: Treatment-Experienced Adult Patients * V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V and L89V † An 8 mL darunavir dose should be taken as two 4 mL administrations with the included oral dosing syringe With no darunavir resistance associated substitutions* With at least one darunavir resistance associated substitution* Formulations: PREZISTA tablets or oral suspension (100 mg/mL) and ritonavir tablets/capsules (100 mg) or solution (80 mg/mL) PREZISTA 800 mg (one 800 mg tablet) or 8 mL† (oral suspension) once daily with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL (oral solution) once daily and with food PREZISTA 600 mg (e.g. one 600 mg tablet) or 6 mL (oral suspension) twice daily with ritonavir 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet/capsule or 1.25 mL (oral solution) twice daily and with foodFor antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients genotypic testing is recommended. However, when genotypic testing is not feasible, PREZISTA/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily dosing is recommended.
2.2 Pediatric Patients (age 3 to less than 18 years)
Healthcare professionals should pay special attention to accurate dose selection of PREZISTA, transcription of the medication order, dispensing information and dosing instruction to minimize risk for medication errors, overdose, and underdose.
Prescribers should select the appropriate dose of PREZISTA/ritonavir for each individual child based on body weight (kg) and should not exceed the recommended dose for adults.
Before prescribing PREZISTA, children weighing greater than or equal to 15 kg should be assessed for the ability to swallow tablets. If a child is unable to reliably swallow a tablet, the use of PREZISTA oral suspension should be considered.
The recommended dose of PREZISTA/ritonavir for pediatric patients (3 to less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 10 kg is based on body weight (see Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5) and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. PREZISTA should be taken with ritonavir and with food.
The recommendations for the PREZISTA/ritonavir dosage regimens were based on the following:
Twice daily dosing
Results from two trials in treatment-experienced pediatric subjects 3 to less 18 years of age demonstrating similar darunavir plasma exposures, virologic response rate and safety profile compared to treatment-experienced adults.Once daily dosing
Results from one trial in treatment-naïve pediatric subjects 12 to less than 18 years of age demonstrating similar darunavir plasma exposures, virologic response rate and safety profile compared to treatment-naïve adults. Results from population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation in children 3 to less than 12 years of age predicting similar darunavir plasma exposures compared to treatment-naïve adults. Although no clinical trial was conducted to collect exposure-safety data, the predicted exposures from the once daily dosing is supported by exposures observed in a pediatric clinical trial where twice-daily dosing was administered.Dosing recommendations for treatment-naïve pediatric patients or antiretroviral treatment-experienced pediatric patients with no darunavir resistance associated substitutions
• Pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg but less than 15 kg
The weight-based dose in antiretroviral treatment-naïve pediatric patients or antiretroviral treatment-experienced pediatric patients with no darunavir resistance associated substitutions is PREZISTA 35 mg/kg once daily with ritonavir 7 mg/kg once daily using the following table.
