PHARMACOLOGICAL INFORMATION OF PANOVIR

Therapeutic class: Antiviral agent.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Mechanism of Action

Sofosbuvir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which is required for viral replication. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide prodrug that undergoes intracellular metabolism to form the pharmacologically active uridine analog triphosphate (GS-461203), which can be incorporated into HCV RNA by the NS5B polymerase and acts as a chain terminator. In a biochemical assay, GS-461203 inhibited the polymerase activity of the recombinant NS5B from HCV genotype 1b, 2a, 3a and 4a with an IC50 value ranging from 0.36 to 3.3 micromolar. GS-461203 is neither an inhibitor of human DNA and RNA polymerases nor an inhibitor of mitochondrial RNA polymerase.

Velpatasvir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS5A protein, which is required for viral replication. Resistance selection in cell culture and cross-resistance studies indicate Velpatasvir targets NS5A as its mode of action.

Pharmacodynamics

Cardiac Electrophysiology

The effect of Sofosbuvir 400 mg (recommended dosage) and 1200 mg (three times the recommended dosage) on QTc interval was evaluated in an active-controlled (Moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial. At a dose three times the recommended dose, Sofosbuvir does not prolong QTc to any clinically relevant extent.

The effect of Velpatasvir 500 mg (five times the recommended dosage) was evaluated in an active-controlled (Moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial. At a dose five times the recommended dose, Velpatasvir does not prolong QTc interval to any clinically relevant extent.

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetic properties of the components of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir are provided in Table 1.

Specific Populations

Pediatric Patients

The pharmacokinetics of Sofosbuvir or Velpatasvir in pediatric patients has not been established.

Geriatric Patients

Population pharmacokinetic analysis in HCV-infected subjects showed that within the age range (18 to 82 years) analyzed, age did not have a clinically relevant effect on the exposure to Sofosbuvir, GS-331007 or Velpatasvir.

Patients with Renal Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of Sofosbuvir were studied in HCV negative subjects with mild (eGFR between 50 to less than 80 mL/min/1.73 m), moderate (eGFR between 30 to less than 50 mL/min/1.73 m2), severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m), and subjects with ESRD requiring hemodialysis following a single 400 mg dose of Sofosbuvir. Relative to subjects with normal renal function (eGFR greater than 80 mL/min/1.73 m2), the Sofosbuvir AUC  was 61%, 107%, and 171% higher in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, while the GS-331007 AUC0-inf0-inf was 55%, 88%, and 451% higher, respectively. In subjects with ESRD, relative to subjects with normal renal function, Sofosbuvir and GS-331007 AUC was 28% and 1280% higher when Sofosbuvir was dosed 1 hour before hemodialysis compared with 60% and 2070% higher when Sofosbuvir was dosed 1 hour after hemodialysis, respectively. A 4 hour hemodialysis session removed approximately 18% of 0-inf administered dose.

The pharmacokinetics of Velpatasvir were studied with a single dose of 100 mg Velpatasvir in HCV negative subjects with severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault). No clinically relevant differences in Velpatasvir pharmacokinetics were observed between healthy subjects and subjects with severe renal impairment.

Patients with Hepatic Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of Sofosbuvir were studied following 7-day dosing of 400 mg Sofosbuvir in HCV-infected subjects with moderate and severe were 126% and 143% higher in moderate and severe hepatic impairment, while the GS-331007 AUC hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B and C, respectively). Relative to subjects with normal hepatic function, the Sofosbuvir AUC were 18% and 9% higher, respectively. Population pharmacokinetics analysis in HCV-infected subjects indicated that cirrhosis (including decompensated cirrhosis) had no clinically relevant effect on the 0-24 exposure of Sofosbuvir and GS-331007.

The pharmacokinetics of Velpatasvir were studied with a single dose of 100 mg Velpatasvir in HCV negative subjects with moderate and severe) was similar in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment, severe hepatic impairment, and control subjects with normal hepatic function. Population pharmacokinetics analysis in HCV- infected subjects hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B and C). Velpatasvir plasma exposure (AUC inf indicated that cirrhosis (including decompensated cirrhosis) had no clinically relevant effect on the exposure of Velpatasvir.

Race

Population pharmacokinetics analysis in HCV-infected subjects indicated that race had no clinically relevant effect on the exposure of Sofosbuvir, GS-331007 or Velpatasvir.

Gender

Population pharmacokinetics analysis in HCV-infected subjects indicated that gender had no clinically relevant effect on the exposure of Sofosbuvir, GS-331007 or Velpatasvir.

Drug Interaction Studies

After oral administration of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir, Sofosbuvir is rapidly absorbed and subject to extensive first-pass hepatic extraction (hydrolysis followed by sequential phosphorylation) to form the pharmacologically active triphosphate. In clinical pharmacology studies, both Sofosbuvir and the primary circulating metabolite GS-331007 (dephosphorylated nucleotide metabolite) were monitored for purposes of pharmacokinetic analyses.

Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir are substrates of drug transporters P-gp and BCRP while GS-331007 is not. Velpatasvir is also transported by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. In vitro, slow metabolic turnover of Velpatasvir by CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4 was observed. Inducers of P-gp and/or moderate to potent inducers of CYP2B6, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 (e.g., Rifampin, St. John’s wort, Carbamazepine) may decrease plasma concentrations of Sofosbuvir and/or Velpatasvir, leading to reduced therapeutic effect of Sofosbuvir/ Velpatasvir. Coadministration with drugs that inhibit P-gp and/or BCRP may increase Sofosbuvir and/or Velpatasvir plasma concentrations without increasing GS-331007 plasma concentration. Drugs that inhibit CYP2B6, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 may increase plasma concentration of Velpatasvir.

Velpatasvir is an inhibitor of drug transporter P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1, and its involvement in drug interactions with these transporters is primarily limited to the process of absorption. At clinically relevant concentration, Velpatasvir is not an inhibitor of hepatic transporters OATP1A2 or OCT1, renal transporters OCT2, OAT1, OAT3 or MATE1, or CYP or UGT1A1 enzymes.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir

Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir are substrates of drug transporters P-gp and BCRP while GS-331007 (the predominant circulating metabolite of Sofosbuvir) is not. In vitro, slow metabolic turnover of Velpatasvir by CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4 was observed.

Drugs that are inducers of P-gp and/or moderate to potent inducers of CYP2B6, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 (e.g., Rifampin, St. John’s wort, Carbamazepine) may decrease plasma concentrations of Sofosbuvir and/or Velpatasvir, leading to reduced therapeutic effect of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir. The use of these agents with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir is not recommended. Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir may be coadministered with P-gp, BCRP, and CYP inhibitors.

Potential for Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir to Affect Other Drugs

Velpatasvir is an inhibitor of drug transporters P-gp, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1. Coadministration of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir with drugs that are substrates of these transporters may increase the exposure of such drugs.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Serious Symptomatic Bradycardia When Sofosbuvir Is Coadministered with Amiodarone and another HCV Direct Acting AntiviralCoadministration of Amiodarone with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir is not recommended. For patients taking Amiodarone who have no other alternative viable treatment options and who will be coadministered Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir:

• Counsel patients about the risk of symptomatic bradycardia.

• Cardiac monitoring in an in-patient setting for the first 48 hours of coadministration is recommended, after which outpatient or self-monitoring of the heart rate should occur on a daily basis through at least the first 2 weeks of treatment.

Patients who are taking Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir who need to start Amiodarone therapy due to no other alternative viable treatment options should undergo similar cardiac monitoring as outlined above.

Due to Amiodarone’s long half-life, patients discontinuing Amiodarone just prior to starting Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir should also undergo similar cardiac  monitoring as outlined above.

Patients who develop signs or symptoms of bradycardia should seek medical evaluation immediately. Symptoms may include near-fainting or fainting, dizziness or lightheadedness, malaise, weakness, excessive tiredness, shortness of breath, chest pains, confusion, or memory problems.

Risk of Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Concomitant Use of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir with Inducers of P-gp and/or Moderate to Potent Inducers of CYP

Drugs that are inducers of P-gp and/or moderate to potent inducers of CYP2B6, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 (e.g., Rifampin, St. John’s wort, Carbamazepine)  may significantly decrease plasma concentrations of Sofosbuvir and/or Velpatasvir, leading to potentially reduced therapeutic effect of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir. The use of these agents with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir is not recommended.

Risks Associated with Ribavirin and Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Combination Treatment

If Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir is administered with Ribavirin, the warnings and precautions for Ribavirin apply to this combination regimen. Refer to the Ribavirin prescribing information for a full list of the warnings and precautions for Ribavirin

OVERDOSAGE

No specific antidote is available for overdose with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir. If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity.

Treatment of overdose with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient. Hemodialysis can efficiently remove the predominant circulating metabolite of Sofosbuvir, GS-331007, with an extraction ratio of 53%. Hemodialysis is unlikely to result in significant removal of Velpatasvir since Velpatasvir is highly bound to plasma protein.
