Potential Interaction
Cabotegravir/rilpivirine [long acting] (CAB/RPV LA)
Chloroquine
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Chloroquine undergoes CYP mediated metabolism by CYPs 2C8, 3A4 and 2D6, and is also eliminated unchanged via the kidney (50%). Cabotegravir and rilpivirine do not inhibit or induce CYP enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Rilpivirine has been associated with prolongation of the QTc interval at supra-therapeutic doses, but equivalent rilpivirine concentrations are unlikely to occur with chloroquine. However, given the known QT prolongation risk associated with chloroquine, caution is recommended. Due to the very long half-life, the risk of QT prolongation may persist even after discontinuation of chloroquine. ECG monitoring is advised.
