Maraviroc · Tablet, Film Coated · Oral
• Hepatotoxicity has been reported which may be preceded by severe rash or other features of a systemic allergic reaction (e.g., fever, eosinophilia, or elevated IgE). ( 5.1 )
• Immediately evaluate patients with signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction. ( 5.1 )
Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE SELZENTRY is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of only CCR5‑tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‑1) infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 2 kg. Limitations of Use
• SELZENTRY is not recommended in patients with dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )]. SELZENTRY is a CCR5 co-receptor antagonist indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 2 kg. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use:
• Not recommended in patients with dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1. ( 1 )
Dosage and administration
• Prior to initiation of SELZENTRY for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. ( 2.1 )
• SELZENTRY tablets and oral solution are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food. SELZENTRY must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications. ( 2.2 ) Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients: ( 2.3 ) Concomitant Medications Dosage of SELZENTRY When given with potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors (with or without potent CYP3A inducers) including PIs (except tipranavir/ritonavir) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 150 mg twice daily With NRTIs, tipranavir/ritonavir, nevirapine, raltegravir, and other drugs that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 300 mg twice daily With potent and moderate CYP3A inducers including efavirenz (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 600 mg twice daily A more complete list of coadministered drugs is listed in Dosage and Administration . ( 2 ) Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 2 kg: Administer twice daily. Dosage should be based on body weight (kg) and concomitant medications and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. ( 2.4 ) Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment may be necessary in adult patients with renal impairment. ( 2.5 ) 2.1 Testing prior to Initiation of SELZENTRY Prior to initiation of SELZENTRY for treatment of HIV-1 infection, test all patients for CCR5 tropism using a highly sensitive tropism assay. SELZENTRY is recommended for patients with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. 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 [see Microbiology ( 12.4 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Monitor patients for alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin prior to initiation of SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. 2.2 General Dosing Recommendations
• SELZENTRY tablets and oral solution are taken twice daily by mouth and may be taken with or without food.
• SELZENTRY must be given in combination with other antiretroviral medications.
• The recommended dosage of SELZENTRY differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions. 2.3 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients with Normal Renal Function Table 1 displays oral dosage of SELZENTRY based on different concomitant medications [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] . Table 1. Recommended Dosage in Adults Concomitant Medications Dosage of SELZENTRY a Potent CYP3A inhibitors (with or without a potent CYP3A inducer) including: clarithromycin, cobicistat, elvitegravir/ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), telithromycin. b Noninteracting concomitant medications include all medications that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers such as: dolutegravir, enfuvirtide, nevirapine, all nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), raltegravir, and tipranavir/ritonavir. c Potent and moderate CYP3A inducers (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) including: carbamazepine, efavirenz, etravirine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and rifampin. Potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors (with or without a potent CYP3A inducer) a 150 mg twice daily Noninteracting concomitant medications b 300 mg twice daily Potent and moderate CYP3A inducers (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) c 600 mg twice daily 2.4 Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients with Normal Renal Function The recommended dosage of SELZENTRY should be based on body weight (kg) and should not exceed the recommended adult dose. The recommended dosage also differs based on concomitant medications due to drug interactions ( Table 2 and Table 3 ) [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Before prescribing SELZENTRY tablets, assess children for the ability to swallow tablets. If a child is unable to reliably swallow SELZENTRY tablets, the oral solution formulation should be prescribed. The recommended oral dosage of SELZENTRY tablets in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older weighing at least 10 kg is presented in Table 2 . Table 2. Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients Aged 2 Years and Older Weighing at Least 10 kg (Tablets) a Potent CYP3A inhibitors (with or without a CYP3A inducer) including: clarithromycin, cobicistat, elvitegravir/ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), telithromycin. b Noninteracting concomitant medications including all medications that are not potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers such as: dolutegravir, enfuvirtide, nevirapine, all NRTIs, raltegravir, and tipranavir/ritonavir. c Potent and moderate CYP3A inducers (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) including: carbamazepine, efavirenz, etravirine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and rifampin. d Insufficient data are available to recommend use.

( 4 )
Warnings and precautions
• Hepatotoxicity accompanied by severe rash or systemic allergic reaction, including potentially life-threatening events, has been reported. Hepatic laboratory parameters including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin should be obtained prior to starting SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. If rash or symptoms or signs of hepatitis or allergic reaction develop, hepatic laboratory parameters should be monitored and discontinuation of treatment should be considered. When administering SELZENTRY to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.1 )
• Severe and potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking SELZENTRY. This includes cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hypersensitivity reaction, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Immediately discontinue SELZENTRY and other suspected agents if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop and monitor clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, closely. ( 5.2 )
• More cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, were observed in treatment-experienced subjects who received SELZENTRY. Additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.3 )
• If patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD receiving SELZENTRY (without concomitant CYP3A inducers or inhibitors) experience postural hypotension, the dose of SELZENTRY should be reduced from 300 mg twice daily to 150 mg twice daily. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity with allergic features including life-threatening events has been reported in clinical trials and postmarketing. Severe rash or evidence of systemic allergic reaction including drug-related rash with fever, eosinophilia, elevated IgE, or other systemic symptoms have been reported in conjunction with hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . These events occurred approximately 1 month after starting treatment. Among reported cases of hepatitis, some were observed in the absence of allergic features or with no pre-existing hepatic disease. Appropriate laboratory testing including ALT, AST, and bilirubin should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. Hepatic laboratory parameters should be obtained in any patient who develops rash, or signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or allergic reaction. Discontinuation of SELZENTRY should be considered in any patient with signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or with increased liver transaminases combined with rash or other systemic symptoms. When administering SELZENTRY to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have not been specifically studied in patients with significant underlying liver disorders. 5.2 Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe, potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking SELZENTRY, in most cases concomitantly with other drugs associated with these reactions. These include cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . The cases were characterized by features including rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including hepatic failure. Discontinue SELZENTRY and other suspected agents immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop (including, but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, malaise, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, facial edema, lip swelling, eosinophilia). Delay in stopping treatment with SELZENTRY or other suspect drugs after the onset of rash may result in a life-threatening reaction. Clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. 5.3 Cardiovascular Events Eleven subjects (1.3%) who received SELZENTRY had cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, during the Phase 3 trials in treatment‑experienced subjects (total exposure 609 patient‑years [300 on SELZENTRY once daily + 309 on SELZENTRY twice daily]), while no subjects who received placebo had such events (total exposure 111 patient‑years). These subjects generally had cardiac disease or cardiac risk factors prior to use of SELZENTRY, and the relative contribution of SELZENTRY to these events is not known. In the Phase 2b/3 trial in treatment‑naive adult subjects, 3 subjects (0.8%) who received SELZENTRY had events related to ischemic heart disease and 5 subjects (1.4%) who received efavirenz had such events (total exposure 506 and 508 patient‑years for SELZENTRY and efavirenz, respectively). When SELZENTRY was administered to healthy volunteers at doses higher than the recommended dose, symptomatic postural hypotension was seen at a greater frequency than in placebo. However, when SELZENTRY was given at the recommended dose in HIV-1–infected adult subjects in Phase 3 trials, postural hypotension was seen at a rate similar to placebo (approximately 0.5%). Patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, risk factors for postural hypotension, or receiving concomitant medication known to lower blood pressure, could be at increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events triggered by postural hypotension. Additional monitoring may be warranted. Postural Hypotension in Patients with Renal Impairment An increased risk of postural hypotension may occur in patients with severe renal insufficiency or in those with ESRD due to increased maraviroc exposure in some patients.
Side effects
The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling:
• Hepatotoxicity [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]
• Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]
• Cardiovascular Events [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]
• The most common adverse events in treatment-experienced adult subjects (greater than 8% incidence) which occurred at a higher frequency compared with placebo are upper respiratory tract infections, cough, pyrexia, rash, and dizziness. ( 6.1 )
• The most common adverse events in treatment-naive adult subjects (greater than 8% incidence) which occurred at a higher frequency than the comparator arm are upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, flatulence, bloating and distention, upper respiratory tract signs and symptoms, and gastrointestinal atonic and hypomotility disorders. ( 6.1 )
• The most common adverse reactions in treatment-experienced pediatric subjects (greater than or equal to 3% incidence) are vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact ViiV Healthcare at 1-877-844-8872 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Subjects Treatment ‑ Experienced Subjects: The safety profile of SELZENTRY is primarily based on 840 HIV-1–infected subjects who received at least 1 dose of SELZENTRY during two Phase 3 trials. A total of 426 of these subjects received the indicated twice‑daily dosing regimen. Assessment of treatment‑emergent adverse events is based on the pooled data from 2 trials in subjects with CCR5-tropic HIV‑1 (A4001027 and A4001028). The median duration of therapy with SELZENTRY for subjects in these trials was 48 weeks, with the total exposure on SELZENTRY twice daily at 309 patient‑years versus 111 patient‑years on placebo each administered with optimized background therapy (OBT). The population was 89% male and 84% white, with mean age of 46 years (range: 17 to 75 years). Subjects received dose equivalents of 300 mg maraviroc once or twice daily. The most common adverse events reported with twice‑daily therapy with SELZENTRY with frequency rates higher than placebo, regardless of causality, were upper respiratory tract infections, cough, pyrexia, rash, and dizziness. In these 2 trials, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events was 5% for subjects who received SELZENTRY twice daily + OBT as well as those who received placebo + OBT. Most of the adverse events reported were judged to be mild to moderate in severity. The data described below occurred with twice‑daily dosing of SELZENTRY. The total numbers of subjects reporting infections were 233 (55%) and 84 (40%) in the group receiving SELZENTRY twice daily and the placebo group, respectively. Correcting for the longer duration of exposure on SELZENTRY compared with placebo, the exposure‑adjusted frequency (rate per 100 subject‑years) of these events was 133 for both SELZENTRY twice daily and placebo. Dizziness or postural dizziness occurred in 8% of subjects on either SELZENTRY or placebo, with 2 subjects (0.5%) on SELZENTRY permanently discontinuing therapy (1 due to syncope, 1 due to orthostatic hypotension) versus 1 subject on placebo (0.5%) permanently discontinuing therapy due to dizziness. Treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of causality, from Trials A4001027 and A4001028 are summarized in Table 5 . Selected events occurring at greater than or equal to 2% of subjects and at a numerically higher rate in subjects treated with SELZENTRY are included; events that occurred at the same or higher rate on placebo are not displayed. Table 5. Selected Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (All Causality) ≥2% on SELZENTRY (and at a Higher Rate Compared with Placebo) in Trials A4001027 and A4001028 (Pooled Analysis, 48 Weeks) a 300-mg dose equivalent. b PYE = Patient-years of exposure.
Drug interactions
• Coadministration with CYP3A inhibitors, including protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), will increase the concentration of SELZENTRY. ( 7.1 )
• Coadministration with CYP3A inducers, including efavirenz, may decrease the concentration of SELZENTRY. ( 7.1 )
• Coadministration with St. John’s wort is not recommended. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Concomitant Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Maraviroc Maraviroc is metabolized by CYP3A and is also a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)2. The pharmacokinetics of maraviroc are likely to be modulated by inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A and P-gp and may be modulated by inhibitors of OATP1B1 and MRP2. Therefore, a dosage adjustment may be required when maraviroc is coadministered with those drugs [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 , 2.4 )] . Concomitant use of maraviroc and St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) or products containing St. John's wort is not recommended. Coadministration of maraviroc with St. John's wort is expected to substantially decrease maraviroc concentrations and may result in suboptimal levels of maraviroc and lead to loss of virologic response and possible resistance to maraviroc. Additional drug interaction information is available [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Use in specific populations
• Lactation: Women infected with HIV should be instructed not to breastfeed due to the potential for HIV transmission. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to SELZENTRY during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Limited data on the use of SELZENTRY during pregnancy from the APR and case reports are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed with maraviroc. During organogenesis in the rat and rabbit, systemic exposures (AUC) to maraviroc were approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maternal systemic exposure (AUC) to maraviroc was approximately 14 times the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose (see Data). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data: Maraviroc was administered orally to pregnant rats (up to 1,000 mg per kg per day) and rabbits (up to 75 mg per kg per day) on gestation Days 6 to 17 and 7 to 19, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed at these dose levels, resulting in exposures (AUC) approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maraviroc was administered orally at up to 1,000 mg per kg per day on gestation Day 6 to lactation/post-partum Day 20, with development of the offspring (including fertility and reproductive performance) unaffected by maternal administration of maraviroc at an exposure (AUC) approximately 14 times higher than human exposure at the recommended daily dose. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that HIV‑1–infected mothers in the United States not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of HIV‑1 infection. There are no data on the presence of maraviroc in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. When administered to lactating rats, maraviroc was present in milk (see Data) . Because of the potential for (1) HIV transmission (in HIV-negative infants), (2) developing viral resistance (in HIV-positive infants), and (3) serious adverse reactions in a breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults, instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are receiving SELZENTRY. Data Maraviroc (and related metabolites) was excreted into the milk of lactating rats following a single oral dose of maraviroc (100 mg per kg) on lactation Day 12, with a maximal milk concentration achieved one hour post-administration at a milk concentration approximately 2.5 times that of maternal plasma concentrations. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have been established in pediatric patients aged from birth to less than 18 years. The use of SELZENTRY in pediatric patients was supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data described below and by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients [see Indications and Usage ( 1 ), Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years: The safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and antiviral activity of SELZENTRY were evaluated in treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg in an open-label, multicenter clinical trial, A4001031 [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in a total of 98 pediatric subjects: 85 subjects received SELZENTRY and concomitant medications that included potent CYP3A inhibitors with or without potent CYP3A inducers, 10 subjects received SELZENTRY and noninteracting medications (not containing potent CYP3A inhibitors or potent CYP3A inducers), and three subjects received SELZENTRY and medications that included potent CYP3A inducers without potent CYP3A inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged Older Than 6 Weeks to Less Than 2 Years: No clinical trials have been conducted in children aged older than 6 weeks to less than 2 years. Dosing recommendations for SELZENTRY in this population when concomitantly receiving noninteracting medications are based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation only [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . HIV-1–Infected Neonates Aged from Birth to 6 Weeks: The recommendation of SELZENTRY for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in this pediatric population is based on safety and pharmacokinetic data obtained from clinical trial IMPAACT P2007. In IMPAACT P2007, the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of SELZENTRY were evaluated in full-term HIV-1–exposed neonates (born to HIV-1–infected mothers) aged from birth through 6 weeks [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in 38 of 47 enrolled neonates who received SELZENTRY as a single dose (n = 13) or multiple doses (n = 25) up to 6 weeks of age concomitantly with other antiretrovirals (mostly zidovudine and/or nevirapine) with or without maternal exposure to efavirenz. HIV-1 status was assessed by nucleic acid test at birth, Week 6, and Week 16; all 47 enrolled neonates were HIV-1 negative at completion of the study [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to SELZENTRY during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Limited data on the use of SELZENTRY during pregnancy from the APR and case reports are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed with maraviroc. During organogenesis in the rat and rabbit, systemic exposures (AUC) to maraviroc were approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maternal systemic exposure (AUC) to maraviroc was approximately 14 times the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose (see Data). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data: Maraviroc was administered orally to pregnant rats (up to 1,000 mg per kg per day) and rabbits (up to 75 mg per kg per day) on gestation Days 6 to 17 and 7 to 19, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed at these dose levels, resulting in exposures (AUC) approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maraviroc was administered orally at up to 1,000 mg per kg per day on gestation Day 6 to lactation/post-partum Day 20, with development of the offspring (including fertility and reproductive performance) unaffected by maternal administration of maraviroc at an exposure (AUC) approximately 14 times higher than human exposure at the recommended daily dose.
Pediatric use
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have been established in pediatric patients aged from birth to less than 18 years. The use of SELZENTRY in pediatric patients was supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data described below and by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients [see Indications and Usage ( 1 ), Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years: The safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and antiviral activity of SELZENTRY were evaluated in treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg in an open-label, multicenter clinical trial, A4001031 [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in a total of 98 pediatric subjects: 85 subjects received SELZENTRY and concomitant medications that included potent CYP3A inhibitors with or without potent CYP3A inducers, 10 subjects received SELZENTRY and noninteracting medications (not containing potent CYP3A inhibitors or potent CYP3A inducers), and three subjects received SELZENTRY and medications that included potent CYP3A inducers without potent CYP3A inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged Older Than 6 Weeks to Less Than 2 Years: No clinical trials have been conducted in children aged older than 6 weeks to less than 2 years. Dosing recommendations for SELZENTRY in this population when concomitantly receiving noninteracting medications are based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation only [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . HIV-1–Infected Neonates Aged from Birth to 6 Weeks: The recommendation of SELZENTRY for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in this pediatric population is based on safety and pharmacokinetic data obtained from clinical trial IMPAACT P2007. In IMPAACT P2007, the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of SELZENTRY were evaluated in full-term HIV-1–exposed neonates (born to HIV-1–infected mothers) aged from birth through 6 weeks [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in 38 of 47 enrolled neonates who received SELZENTRY as a single dose (n = 13) or multiple doses (n = 25) up to 6 weeks of age concomitantly with other antiretrovirals (mostly zidovudine and/or nevirapine) with or without maternal exposure to efavirenz. HIV-1 status was assessed by nucleic acid test at birth, Week 6, and Week 16; all 47 enrolled neonates were HIV-1 negative at completion of the study [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . There are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations for use of SELZENTRY in pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and weighing less than 10 kg, or in any pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inducers without a potent CYP3A inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 , 2.5 )]. SELZENTRY is not recommended in pre-term neonates or in pediatric patients weighing less than 2 kg .
Geriatric use
8.5 Geriatric Use There were insufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over in the clinical trials to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, caution should be exercised when administering SELZENTRY in elderly patients, also reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic and renal function, of concomitant disease and other drug therapies.
Overdosage
The highest single dose administered in clinical trials was 1,200 mg. The dose-limiting adverse event was postural hypotension, which was observed at 600 mg. While the recommended dose for SELZENTRY in patients receiving a CYP3A inducer without a CYP3A inhibitor is 600 mg twice daily, this dose is appropriate due to enhanced metabolism. Prolongation of the QT interval was seen in dogs and monkeys at plasma concentrations 6 and 12 times, respectively, those expected in humans at the intended exposure of 300-mg equivalents twice daily. However, no significant QT prolongation was seen in the trials in treatment-experienced subjects with HIV using the recommended doses of maraviroc, or in a specific pharmacokinetic trial to evaluate the potential of maraviroc to prolong the QT interval [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . There is no specific antidote for overdose with maraviroc. Treatment of overdose should consist of general supportive measures including keeping the patient in a supine position, careful assessment of patient vital signs, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram. Administration of activated charcoal may also be used to aid in removal of unabsorbed drug. Hemodialysis had a minimal effect on maraviroc clearance and exposure in a trial in subjects with ESRD [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Description
(maraviroc) is a selective, slowly reversible, small molecule antagonist of the interaction between human CCR5 and HIV-1 gp120. Blocking this interaction prevents CCR5-tropic HIV-1 entry into cells. SELZENTRY film-coated tablets for oral administration contain 25, 75, 150, or 300 mg of maraviroc and the following inactive ingredients: dibasic calcium phosphate (anhydrous), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate. The film coat (Opadry II Blue [85G20583]) contains FD&C blue #2 aluminum lake, soya lecithin, polyethylene glycol (macrogol 3350), polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

Patient information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use). Hepatotoxicity Inform patients that hepatotoxicity, including life-threatening cases, has been reported with SELZENTRY; therefore, it is important to inform the healthcare professional if patients have underlying hepatitis B or C or elevations in liver-associated tests prior to treatment. Inform patients to stop SELZENTRY and seek medical evaluation immediately if they develop signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction following use of SELZENTRY. Advise patients that laboratory tests for liver enzymes and bilirubin will be ordered prior to starting SELZENTRY, at other times during treatment, and if they develop severe rash or signs and symptoms of hepatitis or an allergic reaction on treatment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] .
