No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Acamprosate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Acamprosate is eliminated unchanged in the urine both via glomerular filtration and active secretion (exact transporter unknown, possibly OATs or OCTs). No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. There is little potential for a clinically relevant interaction with lamivudine via competition for active renal transport mechanisms given the possible limited role of OCT in acamprosate’s elimination and the therapeutic index of lamivudine and acamprosate.

Acetazolamide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Acetazolamide is predominantly excreted unchanged via active renal tubular secretion and in vitro studies have shown it may competitively inhibit the renal transporters OAT1, OAT3 and OAT4. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. A clinically relevant drug interaction is unlikely with lamivudine as it is excreted by different renal transporters.

Adefovir

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on the metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Adefovir is eliminated renally via glomerular filtration and active renal secretion by OAT1. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit this renal transporter. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Coadministration of adefovir dipivoxil (10 mg) and lamivudine (100 mg) did not alter the pharmacokinetic profile of either drug. However, as adefovir is nephrotoxic, renal function should be monitored.

African Potato

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. African potato was shown to inhibit CYP3A4 and P-gp in vitro and to activate PXR suggesting that inhibition may occur initially followed by induction of CYP3A4 and P-gp when used for extended periods. Use with caution as African potato could decrease concentrations of dolutegravir. Therapeutic drug monitoring of dolutegravir is recommended. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Potential Weak Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Albuvirtide (ABT)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) can be used as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, the coadministration with albuvirtide would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Dolutegravir is metabolized by UGT1A1, with some contribution from CYP3A, abacavir is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and UGTs, and lamivudine is eliminated renally. In vitro human microsomal studies and limited in vivo drug-drug interaction data indicate that albuvirtide has no inhibiting or inducing properties on P450 enzymes. Albuvirtide is a peptide which is eliminated by catabolism to its constituent amino acids.

No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Alcohol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Alcohol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. The chronic use of alcohol may induce CYP2E1 and to a lesser extent CYP3A4, however, no interaction with dolutegravir is expected as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. Abacavir has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of alcohol, but alcohol increase abacavir AUC by 41%, however, this is unlikely to be clinically significant. No interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of ethanol (0.7g/kg single dose) and abacavir (600 mg single dose) increased abacavir AUC by 41% due to inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase. There was no effect on ethanol AUC. Coadministration of alcohol with dolutegravir or lamivudine has not been studied. No dosage adjustment necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Ethanol decreases the elimination of abacavir causing an increase in overall exposure. Coadministration of ethanol (0.7g/kg single dose) and abacavir (600 mg single dose) was studied in 24 subjects. Abacavir AUC increased by 41% and there was no effect on the pharmacokinetics of ethanol.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

The interaction between abacavir (600 mg single dose) and ethanol (0.7g/kg single dose) was evaluated in 24 HIV-infected males. Ethanol pharmacokinetic parameters were unchanged with abacavir coadministration. There was no evidence that coadministration of abacavir interfered with ethanol metabolism and there were no disulfiram-type reactions in any subject receiving abacavir and ethanol. Abacavir AUC increased by 41% and Cmax increased by 15% and half life by 26%. While these changes were statistically significant, they were not considered clinically significant. The increased plasma abacavir concentrations observed in this study were well within the range seen in previous studies where no additional safety concerns were demonstrated.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Alcuronium

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Alcuronium is predominantly excreted unchanged via the kidneys. As there are no available data determining whether excretion is via active tubular secretion or glomerular filtration, there is some potential for exposure of alcuronium to be increased since dolutegravir inhibits the renal transporter OCT2. There is also potential for competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms, which may lead to increased levels of alcuronium or lamivudine. Caution is advised as alcuronium has a narrow therapeutic window. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Alendronic Acid (Alendronate)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. If taken at the same time, it is likely that food and beverages (including mineral water), calcium supplements, antacids, and some oral medicinal products will interfere with absorption of alendronate. Therefore, patients must wait at least 30 minutes after taking alendronate before taking any other oral medicinal product.

Amodiaquine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Amodiaquine is mainly metabolized by CYP2C8 to N-desethylamodiaquine, an active metabolite but less potent than the parent compound. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Coadministration of dolutegravir and artesunate-amodiaquine had no significant effect on the AUC of amodiaquine or on the AUCs of artesunate and its metabolites. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Standard doses of artesunate-amodiaquine can be used in patients receiving 50 mg dolutegravir once daily.

Description:

Coadministration of dolutegravir and artesunate-amodiaquine was studied in two groups of HIV-negative subjects who received standard clinical treatment doses of artesunate-amodiaquine alone for 3 days (n=13) or dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) for 7 days (n=12), both followed by 3 days of artesunate-amodiaquine plus dolutegravir. There were no statistically significant differences in AUCs of artesunate and it metabolites (dihydroatmesinin and desethylamodiaquine) or on the AUC of amodiaquine The authors conclude that standard doses of artesunate-amodiaquine can be used in patients receiving 50 mg dolutegravir once daily.

Ampicillin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Renal clearance of ampicillin occurs partly by glomerular filtration and partly by tubular secretion; it is reduced by probenecid. About 20 to 40% of an oral dose may be excreted unchanged in the urine in 6 hours. After parenteral use about 60 to 80% is excreted in the urine within 6 hours. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. As lamivudine is eliminated by renal tubular secretion, there is potential for competition with ampicillin for renal transporters, which could lead to increased levels of either drug when ampicillin is administered intravenously. When administered orally, there is little potential for significant interaction.

Argatroban

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Argatroban undergoes metabolism in the liver via hydroxylation and aromatization. In vitro studies indicate that CYP3A4 plays a role in argatroban metabolism, however, human drug-drug interactions studies suggest that metabolism via CYP3A4 is not a major elimination pathway in vivo. Drug-drug interactions studies performed with substrates of different cytochromes and P-glycoprotein (i.e., acetaminophen, lidocaine, warfarin, digoxin) indicate that argatroban has a low potential to cause drug-drug interactions and therefore is unlikely to alter the exposure of dolutegravir, abacavir or lamivudine.

Artemisinin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Artemisinins undergo rapid metabolism via several CYP450 (CYP3s A4, 2A6, 2B6) and the active metabolite (dihydroartemisinin, which has greater potency than the parent drug) is further metabolised via UGT1A9 and 2B7. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 or UGT enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Ascorbic acid is oxidised to dehydroascorbic acid where some is metabolised to oxalic acid and the inactive ascorbate-2-sulphate. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Large doses of ascorbic acid may cause the urine to become acidic causing unexpected renal tubular reabsorption of acidic drugs, thus producing an exaggerated response. Conversely basic drugs may exhibit decreased reabsorption resulting in a decreased therapeutic effect. Lamivudine is predominantly eliminated unchanged via active renal tubular secretion, however unless treatment with ascorbic acid involves large doses of prolonged duration, significant interactions are not expected. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and vitamin C itself as dolutegravir does not interfere with this metabolic pathway and no interaction is expected with abacavir. However, vitamin C can be found in multivitamin preparations. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 35%, 33% and 32%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations.

Atazanavir alone (ATV)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with atazanavir would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Coadministration of atazanavir alone and dolutegravir increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 91%, 50% and 180%, respectively. No significant effect on lamivudine and zidovudine concentrations was observed when atazanavir (400 mg once daily) was coadministered with lamivudine/zidovudine (150/300 mg twice daily). No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Description:

Coadministration of atazanavir alone and dolutegravir increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 91%, 50% and 180%, respectively, due to inhibition of UGT1A1 and CYP3A. There was no effect on atazanavir when compared to historical controls. No dose adjustment is necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration of atazanavir alone (400 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) to 12 subjects increased dolutegravir Cmax and AUC by 50% and 91%, with Ctrough increasing by 2.8-fold. Coadministration of atazanavir/ritonavir (300/100 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) to 12 subjects increased dolutegravir Cmax and AUC by 34% and 62% and increased Ctrough by 2.21-fold. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) and atazanavir alone (400 mg once daily) or atazanavir/ritonavir (300/100 mg once daily) was studied in two groups of HIV-negative subjects (n=12 per group). Coadministration with atazanavir alone increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 91%, 50% and 180%. Coadministration with atazanavir/ritonavir increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 62%, 34% and 121%. These combinations were well tolerated. The authors recommend no dose adjustment when dolutegravir is coadministered with atazanavir alone or atazanavir/ritonavir. Note, this study was performed with a dose of dolutegravir lower than the licensed one.

Atazanavir/cobicistat (ATV/c)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with atazanavir/cobicistat would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Atazanavir/cobicistat is expected to increase dolutegravir plasma concentrations, but dolutegravir is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/cobicistat. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. However, cobicistat has been shown to decrease estimated creatinine clearance due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine without affecting actual renal glomerular function. Atazanavir/cobicistat should not be coadministered with lamivudine in patients with creatinine clearance less than 70 ml/min.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Atenolol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Atenolol is mainly eliminated by the kidney, both by glomerular filtration and active secretion via the renal transporters OCT2 and MATE1. There is potential for dolutegravir to increase atenolol exposure via inhibition of OCT2. Based on the drug-drug interaction study with metformin (another drug transported by OCT2 and MATE1), the increase in atenolol exposure is expected to be ~80% or ~110% when dolutegravir is administered once daily and twice daily, respectively. No interaction is expected with abacavir. There is potential for competition with atenolol and lamivudine for elimination via renal transport proteins, which may lead to increased concentrations of either drug. It is recommended to start atenolol at a lower dose and adjust dosage until the desired clinical effect is achieved.

Bictegravir/ Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Biktarvy (bictegravir, emtricitabine, tenofovir alafenamide) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and should not be administered with other antiretroviral products. In addition, Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) should not be taken with any other medicinal products containing emtricitabine due to the risk for intracellular interactions between cytidine analogues such as emtricitabine and lamivudine. Furthermore, coadministering two integrase inhibitors (i.e., bictegravir and dolutegravir) is unlikely to be of clinical benefit.

Description:

Biktarvy should not be co-administered with other antiretroviral medicinal products.

Biktarvy Summary of Product Characteristics, Gilead Sciences Ltd, June 2019.

As Biktarvy is a complete regimen, coadministration with other antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is not recommended.

Biktarvy Prescribing Information, Gilead Sciences Inc, August 2019.

Triumeq is not recommended for use in combination with emtricitabine containing products, since both lamivudine (in Triumeq) and emtricitabine are cytidine analogues (i.e. risk for intracellular interactions).

Buprenorphine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely Buprenorphine undergoes both N-dealkylation to form norbuprenorphine (via CYP3A4) and glucuronidation (via UGT2B7 and UGT1A1). Norbuprenorphine, an active metabolite, can further undergo glucuronidation (via UGT1A3 and UGT1A1). Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 or UGT enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations and no interaction is expected with abacavir. Coadministration of buprenorphine and lamivudine had no significant effect on buprenorphine pharmacokinetics or NRTI concentrations when compared to control data.

Description:

Coadministration of buprenorphine (14-16 mg once daily, stable dose with naloxone) and lamivudine (300 mg once daily) was studied in 7 opioid-dependent patients and values compared to historical data. Coadministration had few effects on the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and its metabolites. Buprenorphine AUC, Cmax and Cmin increased by ~5%, ~1% and ~2%, respectively. Norbuprenorphine AUC, Cmax and Cmin increased by ~6%, ~3% and ~4%, respectively; buprenorphine-3-glucuronide AUC and Cmin increased by ~10% and ~28%, Cmax was unchanged; norbuprenorphine-3-glucuronide AUC, Cmax and Cmin increased by ~7%, ~12% and ~11%, respectively. Only the increases in norbuprenorphine-3-glucuronide AUC and Cmax were statistically significant. No subjects showed evidence of opiate withdrawal symptoms. Lamivudine concentrations during coadministration did not differ significantly from values observed in healthy, nonopioid-dependent, historical controls. The authors conclude that standard doses of lamivudine may be safely given with standard buprenorphine/naloxone treatment.

Calcium folinate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Calcium folinate is the calcium salt of 5-formyl tetrahydrofolic acid, an active metabolite of folinic acid. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. In theory, calcium could chelate with dolutegravir and potentially decrease the amount of dolutegravir available to bind to the active site of the HIV integrase. However, given that the extent of chelation is dependent on the amount of calcium, this risk is predicted to be low when administering calcium folinate in small doses at frequent intervals. Since calcium is distributed rapidly, separating the intake of dolutegravir from the IV administration of calcium folinate by 2 hours should eliminate any risk of chelation.

Calcium supplements

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Calcium is eliminated through faeces, urine and sweat. No interaction with abacavir or lamivudine is expected. Simultaneous coadministration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) to fasting subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 37%, 39% and 39%, respectively. Simultaneous coadministration to fed subjects increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 7%, 9% and 8%, respectively. Coadministration of calcium carbonate 2 h after dolutegravir had no effect on dolutegravir Cmax and decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 6% and 10%, respectively. Triumeq and calcium supplements can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, calcium supplements should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of calcium supplements and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 39%, 37% and 39%, respectively, due to complex binding to polyvalent ions. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) was studied under fasted, fed and temporally separated conditions. Simultaneous coadministration to fasting subjects (n=12) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 37%, 39% and 39%, respectively. Simultaneous coadministration to fed subjects (n=11) increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 7%, 9% and 8%, respectively. Coadministration of calcium carbonate 2 h after dolutegravir (n=11) had no effect on dolutegravir Cmax and decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 6% and 10%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking supplements containing calcium. Alternatively, Triumeq and supplements containing calcium can be taken together with food.

Cannabidiol (CBD)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Cannabidiol is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 and is unlikely to significantly inhibit CYP3A4, UGT1A1 or intestinal transporters in the range of doses in clinical use. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

In vitro studies show that at supra-physiological concentrations, cannabidiol (CBD) is an inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP. Observed plasma concentrations of CBD with doses used in clinical use are a couple of orders of magnitude smaller than those required for inhibition of P-gp and BCRP. Thus, substrates of these transporters are unlikely to be victims of a drug interaction with CBD. Likewise, in vitro studies showing inhibition of CYP enzymes by CBD use supra-physiological concentrations of CBD that would not be seen in vivo with oral dosing. Therefore, CBD is unlikely to be a perpetrator of drug interactions via CYP inhibition.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Capecitabine is activated by sequential enzyme reactions to fluorouracil. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase plays a role in fluorouracil metabolism. Nucleoside analogues such as lamivudine may compete for these metabolic pathways. The clinical relevance of this interaction is unknown. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir.

Potential Weak Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Capreomycin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Capreomycin is predominantly excreted via the kidneys as unchanged drug, partly by glomerular filtration and possibly partly by tubular secretion (renal transporter not identified). There is some potential for exposure of capreomycin to be increased since dolutegravir inhibits the renal transporter OCT2. No interaction is expected with abacavir. As capreomycin may potentially compete with lamivudine for renal elimination transport mechanisms, levels of capreomycin or lamivudine may hypothetically be raised. Renal function should be monitored as clinically appropriate.

Captopril

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Captopril is largely excreted in the urine by OAT1 (40-50% as unchanged drug, the rest as disulfide and other metabolites). No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. There is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine as it is eliminated by different renal transporters.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Carbamazepine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration substantially decreases dolutegravir exposure. The European product label for Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) does not recommend coadministration with carbamazepine. However, the US product label for Triumeq recommends that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping carbamazepine as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. Coadministration of carbamazepine (300 mg twice daily) and dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 33%, 49% and 73%, respectively. Abacavir may increase carbamazepine concentrations due to competition for glucuronidation (carbamazepine is glucuronidated by UGT2B7), but the clinical relevance of this interaction is unknown as the importance of glucuronidation in the overall metabolic process of carbamazepine is controversial. Abacavir concentrations may decrease due to induction of UGTs by carbamazepine, although to a moderate extent. This is unlikely to be clinically relevant as abacavir has a large therapeutic index. No interaction is expected with lamivudine. Limited data from a small number of patients showed TDM evaluations for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine were within the therapeutic ranges and trough concentrations for dolutegravir were ~83% lower when compared with HIV-infected patients not treated with antiepileptic drugs.

Description:

Coadministration of carbamazepine and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 49%, 33% and 73%, respectively. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with carbamazepine, Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking carbamazepine. Abacavir is metabolised by UGT (UGT2B7) and alcohol dehydrogenase; co-administration of inducers (e.g. carbamazepine) of UGT enzymes could alter abacavir exposure.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

The dolutegravir dose (50 mg) in Triumeq is insufficient when coadministered with carbamazepine as it decreases dolutegravir concentrations. The recommended dolutegravir dosage regimen is 50 mg twice daily. An additional dolutegravir 50-mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. Coadministration of carbamazepine (300 mg twice daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) to 16 subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 33%, 49% and 73%, respectively.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

The drug-drug interactions between antiretrovirals and carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine were evaluated in a clinical setting using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) trough concentrations collected from HIV+ patients treated concomitantly with carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine and antiretrovirals for at least 3 months. HIV-infected patients not concomitantly treated with antiepileptic drugs and who underwent TDM for antiretrovirals in the previous 2 years were considered as controls. Eleven HIV-positive patients prescribed carbamazepine (n=7) or oxcarbazepine (n=4) were identified. All the TDM evaluations for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine were within the therapeutic ranges. Trough concentrations for dolutegravir were ~83% lower when compared with HIV-infected patients not treated with antiepileptic drugs (191 ± 78 versus 1096 ± 510 ng/mL). Co-administration of carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine with dolutegravir should be avoided owing to the potential risk of virological failure; the adoption of TDM is strongly advisable, eventually combining with increased antiretroviral doses.

Cisplatin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Cisplatin is eliminated renally via OCT2 and MATE1. OCT2 facilitates the entry of cisplatin in the tubular cell whereas MATE1 facilitates its elimination in the urine. In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir is a moderate inhibitor of OCT2 but causes no clinically significant inhibition of MATE1. Inhibition of OCT2 will lead to lower concentrations of cisplatin inside the tubular cell which represents an advantage as this may reduce the risk of cisplatin related nephrotoxicity. However, cisplatin may impair renal function with may alter the elimination of lamivudine. Closely monitor creatinine clearance. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Clopidogrel

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is converted to its active metabolites via CYPs 3A4, 2B6, 2C19 and 1A2. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with lamivudine. No pharmacokinetic interaction is expected with abacavir, however, abacavir has been shown to potentiate platelet activation in vitro and thereby may reduce the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel. A WHO Public Assessment Report for abacavir (but not the European or American product labels) advises that an alternative NRTI or antiplatelet agent should be considered.

Description:

Platelets were isolated from healthy, HIV-negative, donors and aggregation assessed in the presence of abacavir, tenofovir-DF (TDF) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). Abacavir significantly enhanced expression of platelet activation markers whereas TAF and TDF had no effect. These increases in the presence of abacavir demonstrate increased degranulation, indicating enhanced platelet activation and potentially a pro-thrombotic impact. Studies in mice showed normal platelet aggregation responses in the presence of TAF or TDF, whereas abacavir potentiated aggregation, again indicative of a pro-thrombotic effect.

Colecalciferol (Vitamin D3) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Metabolism of vitamin D to active metabolites occurs in the liver and kidneys, and is thought to involve CYP3A4 and CYP24A1. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir and vitamin D given as a single agent (i.e. not with calcium or in a multivitamin preparation) or as an injection. However, colecalciferol can be found in multivitamin preparations. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and darunavir/cobicistat (800/150 mg once daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC, and C24 by 11%, 16% and 19%, respectively (n=9). Darunavir Cmax, AUC, and C24 decreased 21%, 13% and 18%, respectively, and cobicistat Cmax, AUC and C24h decreased by 14%, 12% and 2%, respectively. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and darunavir/cobicistat (800/150 mg once daily) was studied in 9 healthy volunteers. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC, and C24 decreased by 11%, 16% and 19%, respectively, when coadministered. Darunavir Cmax, AUC, and C24 decreased 21%, 13% and 18%, respectively; cobicistat Cmax, AUC and C24h decreased by 14%, 12% and 2%, respectively. The authors conclude that the combination of dolutegravir and darunavir/cobicistat can safely be used in the treatment of HIV-1.

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Darunavir/Cobicistat/ Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (DRV/c/FTC/TAF)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) and Symtuza (darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, tenofovir alafenamide) are both indicated for use as complete regimens for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and should not be administered with other antiretroviral products. Furthermore, as Triumeq contains lamivudine it should not be taken with medicinal products containing emtricitabine due to the risk for intracellular interactions between cytidine analogues, such as lamivudine and emtricitabine.

Description:

Symtuza should not be administered concomitantly with medicinal products containing lamivudine or tenofovir disoproxil (as fumarate, phosphate or succinate).

Symtuza Summary of Product Characteristics, Janssen-Cilag Ltd, June 2023.

Triumeq is not recommended for use in combination with emtricitabine containing products, since both lamivudine (in Triumeq) and emtricitabine are cytidine analogues (i.e. risk for intracellular interactions).

Darunavir + ritonavir (DRV/r)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with darunavir/ritonavir would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Coadministration of darunavir/ritonavir and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 22%, 11% and 38%, respectively; there was no effect on darunavir or ritonavir. Coadministration of abacavir (600 mg once daily) and darunavir/ritonavir (900/100 mg once daily) decreased abacavir AUC, Cmax and Cmin by 27%, 22% and 38%, respectively (n=19). No interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of darunavir/ritonavir and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 22%, 11% and 38%, respectively, due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A. There was no effect on darunavir or ritonavir. No dose adjustment is necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration of darunavir/ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) and dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) was studied in 15 subjects. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin decreased by 11%, 22% and 38%, respectively. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of darunavir. Darunavir/ritonavir had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

The steady-state pharmacokinetics of abacavir (600 mg once daily, plus two NRTIs – excluding tenofovir) were investigated when coadministered with darunavir/ritonavir (900/100 mg once daily) to 19 HIV+ subjects in a cross-over study. Abacavir AUC, Cmax and Cmin decreased by 27%, 22% and 38%, respectively in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir. Exposure of abacavir’s active intracellular carbovir triphosphate anabolite was decreased, however, the clinical significance of this decrease is unclear.

Dasatinib

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Dasatinib is metabolized by CYP3A4 and inhibits this same enzyme. A clinically significant interaction is not expected with dolutegravir as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism and dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations.

Daunorubicin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. A clinical study reported that antiretroviral regimens containing lamivudine had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of liposomal daunorubicin.

Description:

A study investigated the pharmacokinetics of liposomal daunorubicin (DaunoXome) administered alone or in combination with antiviral therapy including protease inhibitors (PI) to HIV-positive patients affected by Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Patients with extensive or rapidly progressing AIDS-related KS (n=18) received DaunoXome at a dose of 40mg/m2 alone or with triple combination therapy consisting of one PI plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (stavudine, didanosine, lamivudine, or zidovudine). Daunorubicin pharmacokinetics were determined in a total of 23 cycles, 6 with DaunoXome alone, 9 in combination with indinavir, 6 with ritonavir and 2 with saquinavir. Plasma samples were obtained at different times during the 72 h after DaunoXome administration. Daunorubicin and daunorubicinol plasma levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters of daunorubicin in patients receiving DaunoXome in combination with indinavir and ritonavir compared with those in patients not receiving PIs. Therefore in patients affected by AIDS-related KS treated with Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) there is no pharmacokinetic justification for reducing the doses of DaunoXome.

The pharmacokinetics of liposomal encapsulated daunorubicin are not modified by HAART in patients with HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma. Fumagalli L, Zucchetti M, Parisi I et al. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 2000;45(6):495-501.

No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Delamanid

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Delamanid is primarily metabolised by albumin to DM-6705; metabolism of DM-6705 to other metabolites is thought to involve pathways mediated by CYP enzymes, including CYP3A4. Dolutegravir does not affect CYP enzymes. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Denosumab

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Denosumab is not eliminated via hepatic metabolism but follows the immunoglobulin clearance pathway. (Note, caution is required if denosumab is given with calcium supplements as dolutegravir may be subject to chelation by high concentrations of divalent cations which may result in reduced dolutegravir concentrations.)

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of calcium supplements and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 39%, 37% and 39%, respectively, due to complex binding to polyvalent ions. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) was studied under fasted, fed and temporally separated conditions. Simultaneous coadministration to fasting subjects (n=12) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 37%, 39% and 39%, respectively. Simultaneous coadministration to fed subjects (n=11) increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 7%, 9% and 8%, respectively. Coadministration of calcium carbonate 2 h after dolutegravir (n=11) had no effect on dolutegravir Cmax and decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 6% and 10%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking supplements containing calcium. Alternatively, Triumeq and supplements containing calcium can be taken together with food.

Disopyramide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Disopyramide is metabolized by CYP3A4 (25%) whereas 50% of the drug is eliminated unchanged in the urine (possibly via OCT2). In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 and may increase disopyramide exposure. Caution is warranted and clinical monitoring is recommended if coadministered. No interaction is expected with abacavir Data from animal studies indicate that disopyramide is a weak inhibitor of the renal transporter OCT2. Since OCT2 may contribute to the renal elimination of disopyramide, there is potential for competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms, which may lead to increased levels of either drug.

Dofetilide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied and is contraindicated in the US Prescribing Information for Triumeq. Dofetilide is mainly excreted unchanged in urine. Renal elimination involves both glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion (via cation transport system). Dolutegravir is an inhibitor of OCT2 and therefore can increase dofetilide exposure and thereby increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. There is potential for competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms, which may lead to increased levels of either drug. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Description:

Triumeq is contraindicated in patients receiving dofetilide, due to the potential for increased dofetilide plasma concentrations and the risk for serious and/or life-threatening events with concomitant use of dolutegravir.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with doravirine would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and doravirine (200 mg once daily) did not significantly alter doravirine exposure. Dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Cmin were increased by 36%, 43% and 27%, respectively (n=11). These changes are not considered as clinically significant No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) with doravirine (200 mg once daily) was studied in 11 healthy subjects. Dolutegravir AUC, C24 and Cmax were increased by 36%, 27% and 43%, respectively. Doravirine AUC was unchanged, while C24 decreased by 2% and Cmin increased by 6%. The authors conclude that these changes are not clinically relevant, and are well within safety margins.

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Dulaglutide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely as dulaglutide is presumed to be degraded by general protein catabolism pathways. Dulaglutide delays gastric emptying and has the potential to impact the rate of absorption of concomitantly administered oral medicinal products.

Echinacea

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Echinacea has a selective effect on CYP3A4 activity (inhibition of intestinal CYP3A4 and induction of hepatic CYP3A4) and its effect on the net exposure of a CYP3A4 substrate will depend on the extraction of the drug at the intestinal and hepatic sites. A clinically significant interaction with dolutegravir is not expected as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Edoxaban

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Edoxaban is eliminated primarily as unchanged drug in urine. Edoxaban is minimally metabolised by hydrolysis (mediated by carboxylesterase 1), conjugation, or oxidation by CYP3A4/5 (<10%). Edoxaban is a substrate for P-gp but dolutegravir does not inhibit or induce P-gp. No interaction is expected with abacavir and there is little potential for an interaction via competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Efavirenz (EFV)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and coadministration with efavirenz is expected to decrease dolutegravir exposure. The European product label for Triumeq does not recommend coadministration with efavirenz. However, the US product label for Triumeq recommends that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. Coadministration of efavirenz (600 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 39%, 57% and 75%, respectively. When compared to historical data, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz. Coadministration of lamivudine (150 mg twice daily) with efavirenz (600 mg once daily) increased lamivudine Cmin by 265%, but had no effect on lamivudine Cmax or AUC. Abacavir had no effect on efavirenz pharmacokinetics when abacavir, efavirenz and indinavir were coadministered. Switching from efavirenz to dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir Ctrough by 60% and 85% in CYP2B6 normal and slow/intermediate metabolizers, respectively. CYP2B6 slow metabolizers experienced more prolonged subtherapeutic dolutegravir concentrations. When switching from efavirenz to dolutegravir, consider administering dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily for 2 weeks (as an additional 50 mg tablet of dolutegravir administered approximately 12 hours after Triumeq) in patients who are not virologically suppressed, or who have resistance to efavirenz, or in patients who are CYP2B6 slow metabolizers.

Description:

Coadministration of efavirenz and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 57%, 39% and 75%, respectively, due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A. There was no effect on efavirenz when compared to historical controls. Since the dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with efavirenz, the co-administration of efavirenz with Triumeq is not recommended.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

The dolutegravir dose (50 mg) in Triumeq is insufficient when coadministered with efavirenz as it may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. The recommended dolutegravir dosage regimen is 50 mg twice daily. An additional dolutegravir 50-mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. Coadministration of efavirenz (600 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) to 12 subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 39%, 57% and 75%, respectively. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and efavirenz (600 mg once daily) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects. In the presence of efavirenz, dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough decreased by 57%, 39%, 75%, respectively (likely via UGT and CYP3A induction by efavirenz). However, dolutegravir concentrations remained 4-5 fold higher than the protein-adjusted IC90 for the wild type virus and the authors concluded no dose adjustment was required when dolutegravir and efavirenz were given concomitantly in integrase naïve patients.

Song I, Borland J, Lou Y et al. 12th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy, Miami 2011; abstract O_02.

Efavirenz is primarily metabolized by CYP2B6. This study evaluated the effect of CYP2B6 genotype on the pharmacokinetic interaction between efavirenz and dolutegravir. Twelve HIV-negative adults received dolutegravir 50 mg once daily for 5 days (period 1), followed by efavirenz 600 mg + dolutegravir 50 mg once daily for 14 days (period 2). Nine individuals were genotyped for rs3745274 (1/*1, *1/*6 or *6/*6). Dolutegravir Ctrough decreased by 85% in CYP2B6 slow and intermediate metabolizers and by 60% in CYP2B6 normal metabolizers. Efavirenz half-life was 2.7 times higher in CYP2B6 slow (39.1 hours, 95% CI 17.1-89.5 hours) than in normal metabolizers (14.3 hours, 95% CI 12.6-16.1 hours) and was 24.6 hours in the intermediate metabolizers. This study demonstrated a strong association between CYP2B6 slow metabolizer genotype (and resulting increased efavirenz exposure) with plasma dolutegravir concentrations. Switch from efavirenz to dolutegravir is of little concern for individuals with viremia well controlled because at no time both dolutegravir and efavirenz concentrations simultaneously fall below their respective clinical target concentrations. However, switch could be problematic in individuals with uncontrolled viremia and efavirenz resistances in which case efavirenz will not protect dolutegravir during its period of subtherapeutic exposure. The safest strategy would be to switch from efavirenz to dolutegravir when HIV is well suppressed. If HIV replication is not controlled and if resistances to efavirenz are present, prescription of dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily might be considered up to 2 weeks after the switch. The same strategy might be applied to CYP2B6 slow metabolizers.

Implications of efavirenz pharmacogenetics when switching from efavirenz- to dolutegravir-containing antiretroviral regimens. Haas DW, Acosta EP. Clin Infect Dis. 2021; 72(10):1820-1822.

Dolutegravir is the preferred second-line antiretroviral backbone agent for people living with HIV failing a first-line efavirenz-based regimen. Efavirenz induces metabolism and was shown to reduce dolutegravir exposure for up to 14 days when switching from an efavirenz-based regimen. Exposure to sub-therapeutic dolutegravir concentrations in people living with HIV failing efavirenz-based first-line antiretrovirals could select for dolutegravir resistance mutations. This study evaluated dolutegravir trough concentrations after switching from a failing first-line efavirenz-based regimen to assess the need for a lead-in supplemental dose of dolutegravir. Participants failing a first-line efavirenz-based regimen were randomized to receive supplemental dolutegravir 50 mg or placebo for 14 days post-switch to tenofovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD). Efavirenz was measured at baseline and days 3, 7 and 14 and dolutegravir trough concentrations at days 3, 7, 14 and 28. 36 participants were enrolled: 11 in the placebo arm and 25 in the supplemental arm. One participant in the supplemental dolutegravir arm and none in the placebo arm had a dolutegravir trough concentration below the PA-IC90 (64 ng/mL) at day 3. There were no slow metabolizers in the placebo arm and 5 in the supplemental arm. In summary, no participants in the placebo arm had dolutegravir trough concentrations below the PA-IC90. Prolonged efavirenz induction effect in CYP2B6 slow metabolizers contributed to lower dolutegravir trough concentrations at day 28 in the supplemental arm. This finding does not support the need for a supplemental dolutegravir dose when switching from a failing first-line efavirenz based regimen.

Abacavir did not influence the pharmacokinetics or exposure parameters of either indinavir or efavirenz.

Potential Weak Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Eflornithine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Approximately 80% of oral/intravenous doses of eflornithine are excreted unchanged via the kidneys. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir.. As there are no available data determining whether excretion is via active tubular secretion or glomerular filtration, there is potential for competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms, which may lead to increased levels of either drug. Clinically significant interactions are not expected with topical preparations as <1% of topically applied eflornithine is systemically absorbed.

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Coadministration of multiple doses of elbasvir/grazoprevir and dolutegravir had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of grazoprevir, elbasvir or dolutegravir. Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) and elbasvir + grazoprevir (50 + 200 mg once daily) to 12 subjects decreased elbasvir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 2%, 3% and 2%, respectively, and decreased grazoprevir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 19%, 36% and 14%, respectively. Dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough increased by 16%, 22% and14%, respectively. No interaction with abacavir or lamivudine is expected.

Eslicarbazepine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied but is expected to decrease dolutegravir exposure due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A by eslicarbazepine. Although no dosing recommendations are provided for eslicarbazepine, the European product label for Triumeq does not recommend coadministration with carbamazepine, another anticonvulsant with inducing properties. However, the US product label for Triumeq recommends that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, can be taken in presence of carbamazepine. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping eslicarbazepine as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. A significant effect on abacavir is unlikely as abacavir is only partly metabolised by glucuronidation. No significant interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Esomeprazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Esomeprazole is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Estradiol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with estradiol as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Estradiol is metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and is glucuronidated. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 or UGT enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. No significant interaction was observed in a pilot study when estradiol was administered as feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) to trans women with HIV taking FHT and integrase inhibitors (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide, n=8; dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine, n=2) and trans women without HIV taking FHT (n=7).

Description:

Serum oestradiol concentrations were determined in trans women with HIV taking feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) and unboosted integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based ART (n=8) versus trans women without HIV taking FHT (n=7). Among participants, the median oral oestradiol dose was 4 mg (range 2-6 mg). Six trans women with HIV were taking bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide and two were taking dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine. All oestradiol concentrations were not significantly different between groups. Eleven (73%) participants had target oestradiol concentrations in the range 200-735 pmol/L at C4h (75% among women with HIV, 71% among those without HIV). However, further research is needed with larger sample sizes to fully understand the impact of HIV and ART on FHT in trans women with HIV.

Estramustine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance, a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Estramustine phosphate undergoes rapid dephosphorylation to estramustine which is then oxidized by 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases to estromustine. Estramustine and estromustine are subsequently hydrolyzed to estradiol and estrone, respectively. Estradiol is then hydroxylated by CYPs 1A1, 1A2 and 3A4.

Ethinylestradiol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Coadministration of ethinyl estradiol (0.035 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol (Cmax decreased by 1%, AUC and Ctrough increased by 3% and 2%). Dolutegravir had no pharmacodynamic effect on luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Note, use of ethinylestradiol as part of gender affirming treatment is not recommended due to thrombotic risks.

Description:

Coadministration with dolutegravir had no significant effect on ethinylestradiol (AUC increased by 3%, Cmax decreased by 1%). Norgestromin AUC and Cmax decreased by 2% and 11%. Dolutegravir had no pharmacodynamic effect on luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone. No dose adjustment of oral contraceptives is necessary when co-administered with Triumeq.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of oral contraceptives containing ethinylestradiol and norgestimate. Coadministration of ethinyl estradiol (0.035 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 15 subjects decreased ethinyl estradiol Cmax by 1% and increased AUC and Ctrough by 3% and 2%, respectively. Coadministration of norgestimate (0.25 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 15 subjects decreased norgestromin Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 11%, 2% and 7%, respectively.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

HIV-negative women received ethinylestradiol/norgestimate (0.035/0.25 mg) with and without dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily. Coadministration had no effect (changes of 3% or less) on the AUC, Cmax and Ctrough of ethinylestradiol. AUC, Cmax and Ctrough of norelgestromin (the active metabolite of norgestimate) decreased by 2%, 11% and 7%, respectively. No effect on luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and progesterone was observed, suggesting that contraceptive efficacy should be maintained if coadministered with dolutegravir.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Etravirine (ETR)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with etravirine would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint, but only if also coadministered with atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir. Etravirine significantly reduced plasma concentrations of dolutegravir, but the effect of etravirine was mitigated by coadministration of lopinavir/ritonavir or darunavir/ritonavir, and is expected to be mitigated by atazanavir/ritonavir. Coadministration of etravirine (200 mg twice daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 52%, 71% and 88%, respectively. When the same doses were coadministered in the presence of ritonavir-boosted darunavir or lopinavir, dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 12%, 25% and 37%, respectively, with darunavir/lopinavir and increased by 7%, 11% and 28%, respectively, with lopinavir/ritonavir. When compared to historical data, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of etravirine. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Etravirine without boosted protease inhibitors decreased plasma dolutegravir concentration. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily for patients taking etravirine without boosted protease inhibitors, Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking etravirine without co-administration of atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir. Coadministration of etravirine (without boosted PI) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 71%, 52% and 88%, respectively, due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A. There was no effect on etravirine. Coadministration of etravirine with lopinavir/ritonavir and dolutegravir increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 11%, 7% and 28%, respectively. There was no effect on lopinavir, ritonavir or etravirine. Coadministration of etravirine with darunavir/ritonavir and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 25%, 12% and 36%, respectively. There was no effect on darunavir, ritonavir or etravirine. No dose adjustment is necessary with etravirine/lopinavir/ritonavir or etravirine/darunavir/ritonavir.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Use of Triumeq with etravirine without coadministration of atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or lopinavir/ritonavir is not recommended. Etravirine significantly reduced plasma concentrations of dolutegravir, but the effect of etravirine was mitigated by coadministration of lopinavir/ritonavir or darunavir/ritonavir, and is expected to be mitigated by atazanavir/ritonavir. Coadministration of etravirine (200 mg twice daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) to 16 subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 52%, 71% and 88%, respectively. When the same doses were coadministered in the presence of darunavir/ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily, n=9), dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 12%, 25% and 37%, respectively. In contrast, coadministration of the same doses in the presence of lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily, n=8) increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 7%, 11% and 28%, respectively. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of etravirine.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and etravirine (200 mg twice daily) was studied in 15 HIV-negative subjects. Etravirine significantly decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 70%, 52% and 88%, respectively. When the same doses were given in the presence of lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily, n=8), dolutegravir pharmacokinetics were not significantly altered. However, when given with darunavir/ritonavir( 600/100 mg twice daily), dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough decreased by 25%, 12% and 37%, respectively, but these changes were not considered as clinically significant. The combination of dolutegravir and etravirine alone should be avoided; however dolutegravir may be coadministered with etravirine without a dosage adjustment if lopinavir/ritonavir or darunavir/ritonavir is concurrently administered.

Flucloxacillin is thought to be a weak inducer of CYP3A4 particularly at higher doses (>2-3 g daily) and could potentially decrease dolutegravir concentrations, but this is unlikely to be of clinical significance as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. No pharmacokinetic interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. However, HLA-5701 has been identified as the main genetic risk factor for flucloxacillin induced liver injury and patients should be genotyped before receiving abacavir or flucloxacillin.

Folic acid [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Folic acid is metabolized to dihydrofolic acid and tetrahydrofolic acid with the aid of reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide and folate reductases. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with folic acid itself and dolutegravir, abacavir or lamivudine. However, folic acid may be administered in a multivitamin preparation which may also contain polyvalent cations. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects.

Hops (Humulus lupulus)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. In vitro data indicate that extracts of hops activate PXR and induce expression of CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and MDR1 genes to a degree similar to that of St John's wort. However, a pharmacokinetic study with a standardised hop extract showed no clinically relevant effect on CYPs 2C9, 1A2, and 2D6 and suggested only minor induction of CYP3A4/5 (AUC of alprazolam, a CYP3A4/5 substrate, decreased by ~8%). Based on these results, hop extracts are unlikely to have a clinically significant effect on dolutegravir. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

A botanically authenticated and chemically standardized hop extract was tested for Phase I pharmacokinetic drug interactions. Sixteen peri- and postmenopausal women consumed the hop extract twice daily for 2 weeks, and the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide, caffeine, dextromethorphan, and alprazolam were evaluated before and after supplementation as probe substrates for CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5, respectively. AUCs were unaffected, except for alprazolam which decreased by 7.6% suggesting minor induction of CYP3A4/5. No enzyme inhibition was detected. According to FDA guidelines, this hop dietary supplement caused no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions with respect to CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4/5.

Hop extracts were examined both structurally and functionally and were found to induce the expression of drug metabolism and excretion proteins. mRNA levels for CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and MDR1 were increased in a concentration-dependent manner by activating PXR. The efficacy with which hops activated PXR was comparable to that of St John's wort.

Hydroxycarbamide (Hydroxyurea)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Hydroxyurea undergoes metabolism via non-CYP mediated metabolism and is unlikely to affect concentrations of dolutegravir, abacavir or lamivudine. However, hydroxyurea is not licensed for use in combination with stavudine and didanosine as toxicities including pancreatitis and hepatitis (in some cases fatal) in HIV patients have been reported via post marketing surveillance. Thus, caution and monitoring for side effects is recommended if coadministered with other NRTIs such as abacavir and lamivudine.

Ibalizumab-uiyk (IBA)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV 1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with ibalizumab would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. No drug interaction studies have been conducted with ibalizumab: based on ibalizumab’s mechanism of action and target-mediated drug disposition, drug-drug interactions are not expected. Dolutegravir and abacavir undergo mostly hepatic metabolism, and lamivudine is eliminated renally. Ibalizumab, a monoclonal antibody binding to the CD4 receptor, is likely to be eliminated via intracellular catabolism similarly to other monoclonal antibodies. Dose modifications of ibalizumab are not required when administered with any other antiretroviral.

Description:

No interaction studies have been performed. Based on the mechanism of action and target-mediated drug disposition of ibalizumab, it is not expected that ibalizumab will have pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions with other medicinal products.

Interferon alpha

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Nonpegylated interferon alpha appears to be metabolized principally in the kidney. No pharmacokinetic interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir and no pharmacokinetic interaction was observed with lamivudine. While some initial data suggested that HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving abacavir-containing ART may be at risk of a lower response rate to pegylated interferon/ribavirin therapy, this has not been confirmed in more recent studies.

Description:

There was no significant pharmacokinetic interaction between lamivudine and interferon alfa in a trial of 19 healthy male subjects.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

The pharmacokinetic interaction between lamivudine (100 mg once daily) and interferon alpha (10 mIU single dose) was studied in 19 HIV-negative subjects. There were no statistically significant differences in any pharmacokinetic parameter for interferon alpha with and without lamivudine. Lamivudine AUC was significantly decreased on the day of IFN-alpha treatment (from 5026 to 4546 ng.h/ml, p<0.001), but returned to previous levels by the following day; Cmax was slightly lower following IFN-alpha, but this was not statistically significant. The small decrease in lamivudine AUC was not considered clinically relevant and there is no requirement for dose modification.

Iodine [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Iodine is converted to iodide, which is trapped in the thyroid gland. Iodides are excreted mainly in the urine with smaller amounts excreted in the faeces, sweat and saliva. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and iodine itself. However, iodine administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Iron supplements (oral)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Administration of an iron supplement (ferrous fumarate 324 mg) simultaneously under fed conditions or 2 hours after dolutegravir had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure. However, when coadministered simultaneously in the fasted state, dolutegravir AUC and Cmax decreased by 54% and 57%, respectively. Triumeq and supplements containing iron can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, iron supplements should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq. Note: the extent of chelation depends on the amount of divalent cation; thus, no significant decrease in dolutegravir would be expected when taking small amount of iron, for example as in preparations such as Floradix.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of iron supplements and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 54%, 57% and 56%, respectively, due to complex binding to polyvalent ions. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of ferrous fumarate (324 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) was studied under fasted, fed and temporally separated conditions. Simultaneous coadministration to fasting subjects (n=11) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 57%, 54% and 56%, respectively. Simultaneous coadministration to fed subjects (n=11) increased dolutegravir Cmax by 3%, decreased AUC by 2%, and had no effect on Cmin. Coadministration of ferrous fumarate 2 h after dolutegravir (n=10) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 1%, 5% and 8%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking supplements containing iron. Alternatively, Triumeq and supplements containing iron can be taken together with food.

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Isoniazid

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Isoniazid is acetylated in the liver to form acetylisoniazid which is then hydrolysed to isonicotinic acid and acetylhydrazine. Dolutegravir is unlikely to interfere with this metabolic pathway and no interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. However, a study of coadministration of dolutegravir and isoniazid with rifapentine was ended early due to intolerance. In healthy volunteers receiving weekly isoniazid and rifapentine, the addition of dolutegravir resulted in flu-like symptoms and LFT elevations in 2 out of 4 patients (with higher than expected isoniazid concentrations), leading to study termination. Limited pharmacokinetic data suggested lower dolutegravir exposure. Intolerance is likely to be related to rifapentine (+/- healthy volunteer status) rather than isoniazid, since in the INSPIRING study, the addition of dolutegravir to daily isoniazid and rifampicin was well tolerated in 69 HIV-TB coinfected adults at 24 week analysis.

Description:

An open-label, intrasubject drug interaction study in HIV-negative healthy volunteers comprised investigated the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir once daily alone and with once weekly isoniazid and rifapentine. Of 4 enrolled subjects (3 males, 1 female, age 22-46 years), 3 completed the study and 1 withdrew prior to the 3rd dose of isoniazid/rifapentine. The study was stopped prematurely due to the development of multiple AEs in 2 subjects. In both subjects, flu-like syndrome with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and fever (Grades 2 and 3) began ~8 hours after the last doses of dolutegravir, rifapentine, and isoniazid and lasted 24-48 hours. One subject required a 24-hour hospitalization for management of orthostatic hypotension (Grade 3). Transaminase elevations (Grades 2-4) occurred in both subjects. Exposure to rifapentine and its active metabolite were similar to reference PK data, but isoniazid exposure was 67-92% higher than expected in the 2 subjects who developed AEs. Limited pharmacokinetic data suggested isoniazid/rifapentine decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 46% and 74%. Given that flu-like syndrome was reported in <4% of subjects in studies of the efficacy of weekly isoniazid/rifapentine alone, these data suggest that co-administration of dolutegravir and weekly isoniazid/rifapentine should be avoided.

INSPIRING (NCT02178592) is a Phase 3b, non-comparative, active control, randomised, open-label study in HIV-1 infected ART-naïve adults (CD4+ ≥50 cells/µL) with drug-sensitive TB. Participants on rifampin-based TB treatment for up to 8 weeks were randomised (3:2) to receive dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily during and for 2 weeks post-TB therapy, followed by 50 mg once daily) or efavirenz (600 mg once daily), with 2 investigator-selected NRTIs for 52 weeks. Of 113 subjects enrolled, 69 were randomised to dolutegravir and 44 to efavirenz. Interim Week 24 results show that dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily appears to be effective and well-tolerated in HIV/TB co-infected adults receiving rifampin-based TB therapy. Rates of IRIS were low. There were no new toxicity signals for dolutegravir and no discontinuations due to liver events.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Isosorbide dinitrate undergoes extensive first past metabolism, predominantly in the liver, with less than 30% of a dose undergoing subsequent glucuronidation. There is little potential for clinically significant interaction with dolutegravir via competition for glucuronidation pathways. No interaction is expected with abacavir. As renal elimination of unchanged drug is a minor pathway, there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) and lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily) was studied in 15 HIV-negative subjects. Coadministration had no significant effects on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics (no change in Cmax, 3% decrease in AUC, 6% decrease in Ctrough). Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data for each interacting drug, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) and lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily) was studied in 15 HIV-negative subjects. Coadministration had no significant effects on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics (no change in Cmax, 3% decrease in AUC, 2% increase in Ctrough). The authors recommend no dose adjustment when dolutegravir is coadministered with lopinavir/ritonavir. Note, this study was performed with a dose of dolutegravir lower than the licensed one.

Plasma concentrations of abacavir (300 mg twice daily) and lamivudine (300 mg once daily) with lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg twice daily, n=7) or nevirapine (400 mg once daily) were determined in HIV positive patients. Abacavir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough were 40%, 46% and 29% lower, respectively, in the presence of lopinavir/ritonavir when compared to nevirapine. The authors suggest that the decrease in exposure of abacavir is due to induction of glucuronidation by ritonavir and/or lopinavir. Lamivudine AUC, Cmax and Ctrough were 11%, 21% and 45% higher, respectively in the presence of lopinavir/ritonavir when compared to nevirapine.

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Lumefantrine is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Coadministration of dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) and artemether-lumefantrine to 7 subjects had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of artemether or lumefantrine (Cmax and AUC increased by 12% and 10%). No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Standard doses of artemether-lumefantrine can be used in patients receiving 50 mg dolutegravir once daily.

Description:

Coadministration of dolutegravir and artemether-lumefantrine was studied in 7 HIV-negative subjects. Subjects received standard clinical treatment doses of artemether-lumefantrine for 3 days, followed by 6 days of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily, to reach steady state) plus 3 days of artemether-lumefantrine plus dolutegravir. Artemether Cmax decreased by 13% but AUC increased by 5%; Cmax and AUC of dihydroartemisinin both decreased 8%. Lumefantrine Cmax and AUC increased by 12% and 10%); Cmax and AUC of desbutyl-lumefantrine both decreased by 4%. The authors conclude that standard doses of artemether-lumefantrine can be used in patients receiving 50 mg dolutegravir once daily.

In vitro data with leaf extracts suggest it could act as an inducer of phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes although the clinical relevance has not been evaluated. In the absence of data, caution is recommended and TDM of dolutegravir should be considered if available. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Mannitol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir, lamnivudine, abacavir) has not been studied. Mannitol is metabolised only very slightly, if at all, to glycogen in the liver and is predominantly eliminated unchanged via glomerular filtration. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. However, coadministration may decrease lamivudine concentrations. When possible, avoid chronic coadministration of Triumeq with medicinal products containing osmotic acting poly-alcohols or monosaccharide alcohols (e.g., mannitol). Consider more frequent monitoring of HIV-1 viral load when chronic coadministration cannot be avoided.

Description:

Coadministration may decrease lamivudine concentrations. When possible, avoid chronic coadministration of Triumeq with medicinal products containing sorbitol or other osmotic acting poly-alcohols or monosaccharide alcohols (eg: xylitol, mannitol, lactitol, maltitol). Consider more frequent monitoring of HIV-1 viral load when chronic coadministration cannot be avoided. Coadministration of soribitol (3.2, 10.2, 13.4 g) and lamivudine (oral solution, 300 mg single dose) decreased lamivudine AUC and Cmax by 14%, 32%, 36% and 28%, 52% and 55%, respectively.

Maraviroc (MVC)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV 1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with maraviroc (dosed at 300 mg twice daily) would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Maraviroc is metabolized by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations and no interaction is expected with abacavir. Coadministration of maraviroc (300 mg twice daily) and lamivudine/zidovudine (150/300 mg twice daily) increased lamivudine AUC (14%) and Cmax (16%), but is not considered to be clinically significant. Maraviroc concentrations were not measured, but no effect is expected.

Description:

The effect of maraviroc (300 mg twice daily) on lamivudine/zidovudine (150/300 mg, twice daily) was studied in 11 healthy volunteers. Lamivudine AUC and Cmax increased by 14% and 16%, respectively. Zidovudine AUC and Cmax decreased by 2% and 8%, respectively. These changes in NRTI exposure are not clinically significant.

Mebendazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Mebendazole is predominantly metabolized in the liver. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 or UGT enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Renal excretion of unchanged mebendazole appears to be minimal and there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for active renal elimination pathways.

Medroxyprogesterone (depot injection)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Medroxyprogesterone is metabolized by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Coadministration of medroxyprogesterone and lamivudine (with zidovudine and efavirenz) did not the affect the pharmacokinetics of medroxyprogesterone. Coadministration with a medroxyprogesterone sub-cutaneous depot injection has not been studied.

Description:

The pharmacokinetics of medroxyprogesterone (IM depot injection) were studied in 15 HIV+ women receiving zidovudine, lamivudine and efavirenz. When compared to data obtained from 15 HIV+ women not receiving antiretroviral therapy, there were no differences in medroxyprogesterone AUC, Cmin, half life or clearance. Side effects related to medroxyprogesterone were not increased. Thus, it is likely that this combination regimen would not decrease medroxyprogesterone’s contraceptive effectiveness. The effect on medroxyprogesterone on the pharmacokinetics of zidovudine, lamivudine or efavirenz was not assessed.

Melarsoprol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Based on limited data concerning metabolism, elimination and toxicity of melarsoprol, there is little potential for interaction, although due to the lack of available data, vigilance is required if administering melarsoprol with antiretrovirals. It is unknown whether urinary metabolites of melarsoprol, such as arsenic, are excreted via active renal mechanisms, however a clinical study has reported that urinary pharmacokinetic parameters are not predictive of toxicity or therapeutic efficacy. Therefore lamivudine has little potential to effect melarsoprol treatment via competition for renal elimination mechanisms.

Mesna

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Mesna is rapidly oxidised to its only metabolite, mesna disulphide via the physiological cysteine system. Approximately 32% and 33% of an administered dose is eliminated in the urine in 24 hours as mesna and mesna disulphide respectively. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. In vitro data suggest that mesna is a substrate of the OAT1, OAT3 and OAT4 renal transporters whereas lamivudine is transported by OCT2.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Metformin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Metformin is primarily eliminated by the kidney and in vitro data suggest that it is a substrate of the renal transporter OCT2. No interaction is expected with abacavir and a clinically relevant drug interaction with lamivudine is unlikely in the range of observed clinical concentrations. However, coadministration with dolutegravir increased metformin exposure. Coadministration of metformin (500 mg twice daily) was studied with dolutegravir alone (50 mg once or twice daily) in 15 subjects. Coadministration with once daily dolutegravir increased metformin Cmax and AUC by 66% and 79%, whereas coadministration with twice daily dolutegravir increased metformin Cmax and AUC by 111% and 145%. A dose adjustment of metformin should be considered when starting and stopping coadministration of dolutegravir with metformin in order to maintain glycaemic control. The US product label for Triumeq suggests limiting the total daily dose of metformin to 1000 mg when starting metformin or Triumeq. Monitoring renal function during coadministration and monitoring blood glucose when starting and stopping coadministration is recommended. As metformin is eliminated renally, patients with moderate renal impairment may be at increased risk for lactic acidosis due to increased metformin concentrations.

Description:

Coadministration of metformin and dolutegravir increased metformin but had no effect on dolutegravir. Metformin AUC and Cmax increased by 79% and 66% with dolutegravir 50 mg once daily, and increased by 145% and 111% with dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily. A dose adjustment of metformin should be considered when starting and stopping coadministration of dolutegravir with metformin, to maintain glycaemic control. Metformin is eliminated renally and therefore it is of importance to monitor renal function when co-treated with dolutegravir. In patients with moderate renal impairment a dose adjustment of metformin should be considered when coadministered with dolutegravir, because of the increased risk for lactic acidosis in patients with moderate renal impairment due to increased metformin concentration.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration of metformin (500 mg twice daily) was studied with dolutegravir (50 mg once or twice daily) in 15 subjects. Coadministration with once daily dolutegravir increased metformin Cmax and AUC by 66% and 79%, whereas coadministration with twice daily dolutegravir increased metformin Cmax and AUC by 111% and 145%. With concomitant use, limit the total daily dose of metformin to 1,000 mg either when starting metformin or Triumeq. When stopping Triumeq, the metformin dose may require an adjustment. Monitoring of blood glucose when initiating concomitant use and after withdrawal of Triumeq is recommended.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Co-administration of metformin (500 mg twice daily) was studied with dolutegravir alone (50 mg once or twice daily) in 15 subjects. Co-administration of dolutegravir 50 mg once daily increased metformin AUC and Cmax by 79% and 66%, respectively, whereas dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily increased metformin area AUC and Cmax by 145% and 111%, respectively. Co-administration of dolutegravir and metformin was well tolerated. In vitro, dolutegravir was not a clinically relevant inhibitor of OCT1, OCT3, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 2-K, or plasma membrane monoamine transporter. Increased metformin plasma exposure can be partially explained by OCT2 inhibition by dolutegravir. It is recommended that dose adjustments of metformin be considered to maintain optimal glycemic control when patients are starting/stopping dolutegravir while taking metformin.

Methadone

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Coadministration of methadone (16-150 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) had no effect on methadone Cmax, and decreased AUC and Ctrough by 2% and 1%, respectively. No effect on methadone pharmacokinetics was observed following a single dose of lamivudine/zidovudine (150/300 mg) to subjects stable on methadone maintenance therapy (AUC and Cmax increased by ~2% and Cmin decreased by ~3%). Coadministration of abacavir (600 mg twice daily) and methadone had no clinically significant effect on abacavir pharmacokinetics but methadone clearance increased by 22%. A methadone dose modification will not be required in the majority of patients; however, an increased methadone dose may be required in a small number of patients.

Description:

Coadministration of methadone (40-90 mg once daily for 14 days) and abacavir (600 mg twice daily for 14 days) had no effect on abacavir AUC but decreased Cmax by 35%. Methadone clearance increased by 22%. Methadone dosage adjustment likely not needed in majority of patients; occasionally methadone re-titration may be required.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of methadone. Coadministration of methadone (16-150 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 11 subjects had no effect on methadone Cmax and decreased AUC and Ctrough by 2% and 1%, respectively. In a trial of 11 HIV-1–infected subjects receiving methadone-maintenance therapy (40 mg and 90 mg daily) with 600 mg of abacavir twice daily (twice the currently recommended dose), oral methadone clearance increased 22%. This alteration will not result in a methadone dose modification in the majority of patients; however, an increased methadone dose may be required in a small number of patients. The addition of methadone had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetic properties of abacavir.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) and methadone was studied in 11 HIV-negative subjects stable on methadone maintenance therapy. No effect of dolutegravir on methadone pharmacokinetics was observed – the AUC and Cmin of total methadone both decreased by 2% and there was no change in Cmax. The AUC, Cmax and Cmin of R-methadone decreased by 5%, 3% and 5%, respectively; whereas AUC, Cmax and Cmin of S-methadone increased by 1%, 3% and 1%, respectively.

Dolutegravir does not affect methadone pharmacokinetics in opioid-dependent, HIV-seronegative subjects. Song I, Mark S, Chen S, et al. Drug Alcohol Depend, 2013, 133(2):781-4.

Methadone concentrations were determined in 5 patients receiving methadone maintenance therapy (12.5-112.5 mg per day) before and after the introduction of amprenavir (1200 mg bd) plus abacavir (600 mg twice daily). Coadministration resulted in a 35% (28-87%) decrease in methadone concentrations. Two patients reported a withdrawal reaction to opioids.

Methadone blood concentrations are decreased by the administration of abacavir plus amprenavir. Bart PA, et al. Ther Drug Monit, 2001, 23: 553-555.

Methadone pharmacokinetics were determined prior to and following a single dose of lamivudine/zidovudine (150/300 mg) in 16 HIV-negative subjects stable on methadone maintenance therapy. No significant differences in the AUC, Cmax, clearance, volume of distribution or half life were detected (AUC and Cmax increased by ~2% and Cmin decreased by ~3%).

Methotrexate (Amethopterin)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Methotrexate is predominantly eliminated via the kidneys, including active tubular secretion (OAT1, OAT3 mediate methotrexate transport in the kidney whereas MRP4 and BCRP mediate methotrexate efflux in the urine). No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. There is no risk for competition for active renal transport mechanisms as lamivudine is eliminated by other renal transporters. Note, some methotrexate product labels contraindicate its use or advise caution in immunodeficiency and some contraindicate its use in HIV infection.

Description:

Methotrexate concentrations were determined in 43 HIV+ patients treated with ARVs and chemotherapy containing high dose methotrexate (3g/m2). Methotrexate elimination half-life was not affected by use of NNRTIs, integrase inhibitors or NRTIs (tenofovir /emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine).

Coadministration has not been studied. CYP3A4 is thought to be the main enzyme involved in mifepristone metabolism and in vitro studies suggest that mifepristone may inhibit CYP3A4. Renal excretion of mifepristone is thought to account for approximately 10% of an oral dose A clinically significant interaction with dolutegravir is not expected as dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentration and CYP3A does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. No interaction is expected with abacavir. There is little potential for interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways.

Miltefosine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Based on limited data concerning metabolism, elimination and toxicity of miltefosine, there is little potential for interaction. In vitro studies have shown that interactions between miltefosine and drugs which are metabolised by cytochrome P450, glucuronidated or otherwise conjugated are unlikely. The main metabolic pathway of miltefosine appears to be mediated by phospholipases. Only a very small proportion of an administered dose of miltefosine is excreted in the unchanged form, therefore there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways. A case report describes two patients who were taking a regimen of stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine who were safely and effectively treated with miltefosine.

Multivitamins

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Dolutegravir binds to divalent cations such as magnesium, iron or calcium and forms a complex at the level of the gastro-intestinal tract which results in less dolutegravir being absorbed. Divalent cations can be found in multivitamins. The simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir AUC by 33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects.

Mycophenolate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Mycophenolate is mainly glucuronidated by UGT1A9 and 2B7. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir as it is primarily glucuronidated by UGT1A1 and is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with lamivudine. Mycophenolate had no significant effect on abacavir plasma concentrations or intracellular phosphorylated metabolites. NRTIs which are also glucuronidated (i.e. abacavir or zidovudine) could alter mycophenolate levels. Concentration monitoring of mycophenolate may be considered.

Description:

The effect of mycophenolate (500 mg twice daily) on the pharmacokinetics of abacavir was studied in HIV-infected subjects receiving abacavir (300 mg twice daily), didanosine (400 mg once daily), lamivudine (150 mg twice daily), indinavir, ritonavir and nevirapine alone (n=10) and in combination with mycophenolate (n=9). The AUC and clearance of abacavir were not statistically significantly different in the two groups. Median Cmax values were 1.86 vs. 1.98 mg/L (alone vs. combination) and AUC values were 3.25 vs. 3.67 mg.h/L (alone vs. combination). There were no significant differences in intracellular concentrations of dGTP between the two groups.

Nevirapine (NVP)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and coadministration with nevirapine is not recommended. Nevirapine, an inducer of CYP3A4, could potentially decrease dolutegravir concentrations. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with nevirapine would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint if an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, is taken. Note, the bioavailability of lamivudine has been shown to be significantly reduced in a dose dependent manner by sorbitol which is present in liquid formulations such as nevirapine oral suspension.

Description:

Co-administration with nevirapine may decrease dolutegravir plasma concentration due to enzyme induction and has not been studied. Effect of nevirapine on dolutegravir exposure is likely similar to or less than that of efavirenz. Since the dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with nevirapine, the co-administration of nevirapine with Triumeq is not recommended.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Avoid coadministration with Triumeq because there are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations.

Nicotinamide (Niacinamide) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Nicotinamide is converted to N-methylnicotinamide by nicotinamide methyltransferase which is then metabolized by xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase. Renal elimination of unchanged nicotinamide is minimal. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and nicotinamide itself. However, nicotinamide administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) and a combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing norgestimate/ethinylestradiol (0.25/0.035 mg) had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of norgestimate, norgestromin (the active metabolite of norgestimate) or ethinylestradiol. Dolutegravir had no pharmacodynamic effect on luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration with dolutegravir had no significant effect on ethinylestradiol (AUC increased by 3%, Cmax decreased by 1%). Norgestromin AUC and Cmax decreased by 2% and 11%. Dolutegravir had no pharmacodynamic effect on luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone. No dose adjustment of oral contraceptives is necessary when co-administered with Triumeq.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of oral contraceptives containing ethinylestradiol and norgestimate. Coadministration of ethinyl estradiol (0.035 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 15 subjects decreased ethinyl estradiol Cmax by 1% and increased AUC and Ctrough by 3% and 2%, respectively. Coadministration of norgestimate (0.25 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 15 subjects decreased norgestromin Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 11%, 2% and 7%, respectively.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

HIV-negative women received ethinylestradiol/norgestimate (0.035/0.25 mg) with and without dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily. Coadministration had no effect (changes of 3% or less) on the AUC, Cmax and Ctrough of ethinylestradiol. AUC, Cmax and Ctrough of norelgestromin (the active metabolite of norgestimate) decreased by 2%, 11% and 7%, respectively. No effect on luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and progesterone was observed, suggesting that contraceptive efficacy should be maintained if coadministered with dolutegravir.

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Coadministration of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir + dasabuvir and dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) or abacavir/lamivudine alone (600/300 mg once daily) was studied in 12 HIV/HCV-negative subjects and had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, dasabuvir, dolutegravir, abacavir or lamivudine.

Coadministration of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (25/150/100 mg, once daily) and dasabuvir (250 mg, twice daily) with abacavir (300 mg once daily) and lamivudine (300 mg, once daily) was studied in 12 healthy volunteers. Abacavir Cmax and AUC decreased by 13% and 6%, respectively; abacavir Ctrough could not be determined as concentrations were below the lower limit of quantification for the majority of subjects. Lamivudine Cmax and AUC decreased by 22% and 12%, respectively, while Ctrough increased by 29%. The changes in abacavir and lamivudine pharmacokinetic parameters are not expected to influence the efficacy or safety profiles of either medication. Ombitasvir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 18%, 9% and 8%, respectively; paritaprevir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 16%, 18% and 27%, respectively; ritonavir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 12%, 12% and 7%. Dasabuvir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 6%, 9% and 5%. None of the changes in pharmacokinetic parameters for ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir or dasabuvir were considered clinically significant. The authors conclude that ombitasvir/paritaprevir/r + dasabuvir does not have any clinically relevant drug-drug interactions with abacavir and lamivudine and no dose adjustments are required.

Omeprazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Omeprazole is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir (Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 8%, 3% and 5%, respectively). No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Omeprazole had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) to 12 subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 8%, 3% and 5%, respectively.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Oseltamivir

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Oseltamivir is converted to oseltamivir carboxylate by esterases. The latter is excreted in the urine by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion by OAT1. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit this renal transporter, no interaction is expected with abacavir, and lamivudine is eliminated by different transporters.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Oxaliplatin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Oxaliplatin undergoes non enzymatic biotransformation and is eliminated renally via OCT2 and MATE2-K. In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir is a moderate inhibitor of OCT2. Although inhibition of OCT2 may represent an advantage in terms of nephrotoxicity, inhibition may impair the response to oxaliplatin chemotherapy. OCT2 is expressed in some tumour cells where it will facilitate the entry of cytostatic agents such as oxaliplatin (but not cisplatin) inside the tumour cell. Dolutegravir, an inhibitor of OCT2, could potentially decrease the efficacy of oxaliplatin. Oxaliplatin and lamivudine could potentially compete for OCT2 which could slow their elimination. Monitor side effects. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Oxamniquine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied, but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Oxamniquine is thought to be predominantly metabolized by CYP2D6. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Renal excretion of unchanged oxamniquine is minimal and there little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Oxcarbazepine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied but is expected to decrease dolutegravir exposure due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A by oxcarbazepine. The European and the US product labels for Triumeq do not recommend coadministration with oxcarbazepine. However, the US product label for Triumeq mentions that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, can be taken in presence of carbamazepine, another anticonvulsant with inducing properties. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping oxcarbazepine as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. No significant interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Limited data from a small number of patients showed TDM evaluations for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine were within the therapeutic ranges and trough concentrations for dolutegravir were ~83% lower when compared with HIV-infected patients not treated with antiepileptic drugs.

Description:

Coadministration has not been studied, but dolutegravir may decrease due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A enzymes. A similar reduction in exposure as observed with carbamazepine is expected. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with these metabolic inducers, Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking oxcarbazepine.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Avoid coadministration with Triumeq because there are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

The drug-drug interactions between antiretrovirals and carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine were evaluated in a clinical setting using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) trough concentrations collected from HIV+ patients treated concomitantly with carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine and antiretrovirals for at least 3 months. HIV-infected patients not concomitantly treated with antiepileptic drugs and who underwent TDM for antiretrovirals in the previous 2 years were considered as controls. Eleven HIV-positive patients prescribed carbamazepine (n=7) or oxcarbazepine (n=4) were identified. All the TDM evaluations for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine were within the therapeutic ranges. Trough concentrations for dolutegravir were ~83% lower when compared with HIV-infected patients not treated with antiepileptic drugs (191 ± 78 versus 1096 ± 510 ng/mL). Co-administration of carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine with dolutegravir should be avoided owing to the potential risk of virological failure; the adoption of TDM is strongly advisable, eventually combining with increased antiretroviral doses.

Paliperidone

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Paliperidone is primarily eliminated renally (possibly OCT), with minimal metabolism occurring via CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 but is unlikely to cause a clinically relevant drug interaction with paliperidone. No interaction is expected with abacavir. There is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for active renal transport mechanisms given the possible limited role of OCT in paliperidone’s elimination.

Pantoprazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Pantoprazole is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Potential Weak Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Para-aminosalicylic acid

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Para-aminosalicylic acid and its acetylated metabolite are mainly excreted in the urine by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 and may increase the exposure of para-aminosalicylic acid. In addition, as para-aminosalicylic acid and lamivudine are predominantly renally eliminated, including by active tubular secretion, there is potential for competition for elimination via renal transport proteins, which may lead to increased concentrations of either drug. The clinical relevance of this interaction is unknown. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Pazopanib

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Pazopanib is metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYPs 1A2 and 2C8. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYPs enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. In vitro data indicate that pazopanib inhibits UGT1A1 and therefore could potentially increase dolutegravir concentrations. However, this is unlikely to be clinically significant due to the wide therapeutic window of dolutegravir. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Peginterferon alfa-2a

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Dolutegravir is primarily metabolised by UGT1A1, with some contribution from CYP3A. These pathways are not affected by peginterferon alfa-2a. No pharmacokinetic interaction is expected with abacavir. Results from pharmacokinetic substudies of phase III trials demonstrated no effect of lamivudine on the pharmacokinetics of peginterferon alfa-2a in HBV patients. However, hepatic decompensation (some fatal) has occurred rarely in cirrhotic HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving NRTI-containing HIV therapy and interferon alpha and ribavirin. Patients receiving interferon with ribavirin and NRTIs should be closely monitored for treatment-associated toxicities, especially hepatic decompensation and anaemia.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Dolutegravir is primarily metabolised by UGT1A1, with some contribution from CYP3A. These pathways are not affected by peginterferon alfa-2b. No pharmacokinetic interaction is expected with abacavir. In a trial with another pegylated interferon alfa, no evidence of a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic (e.g., loss of HIV/HCV virologic suppression) interaction was seen when lamivudine and ribavirin were co-administered to 18 HIV/HCV co-infected subjects as part of a multidrug regimen. However, hepatic decompensation (some fatal) has occurred rarely in cirrhotic HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving NRTI-containing HIV therapy and interferon alpha and ribavirin. Patients receiving interferon with ribavirin and NRTIs should be closely monitored for treatment-associated toxicities, especially hepatic decompensation and anaemia.

Phenobarbital (Phenobarbitone)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied but is expected to substantially decrease dolutegravir exposure due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A by phenobarbital. The European and the US product labels for Triumeq do not recommend coadministration with phenobarbital. However, the US product label for Triumeq mentions that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, can be taken in presence of carbamazepine, another anticonvulsant with inducing properties. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping phenobarbital as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. A significant effect on abacavir is unlikely as abacavir is only partly metabolised by glucuronidation. No significant interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration has not been studied, but dolutegravir may decrease due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A enzymes. A similar reduction in exposure as observed with carbamazepine is expected. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with these metabolic inducers, Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking phenobarbital.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Avoid coadministration with Triumeq because there are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations.

Phenytoin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied but is expected to substantially decrease dolutegravir exposure due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A by phenytoin. The European and the US product labels for Triumeq do not recommend coadministration with phenytoin. However, the US product label for Triumeq mentions that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, can be taken in presence of carbamazepine, another anticonvulsant with inducing properties. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping phenytoin as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. A significant effect on abacavir is unlikely as abacavir is only partly metabolised by glucuronidation. No significant interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration has not been studied, but dolutegravir may decrease due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A enzymes. A similar reduction in exposure as observed with carbamazepine is expected. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with these metabolic inducers, Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking phenytoin. Abacavir is metabolised by UGT (UGT2B7) and alcohol dehydrogenase; co-administration of inducers (e.g. phenytoin) of UGT enzymes could alter abacavir exposure.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Phytomenadione (Vitamin K) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Metabolism of phytomenadione is thought to involve CYP4F2 and glucuronidation. Renal elimination of phytomenadione is minimal, therefore, there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways. There is little potential for an interaction with phytomenadione itself and dolutegravir or abacavir via competition for glucuronidation pathways as glucuronidation is not the sole route of elimination. However, phytomenadione administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 35%, 33% and 32%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Pyrantel is metabolized by CYP2D6 in vitro, however, absorption of an oral dose is minimal and over 50% of a dose is excreted unchanged in the faeces. Renal excretion of unchanged pyrantel is minimal (<7%) and there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways.

Potential Weak Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Pyridostigmine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Pyridostigmine is predominantly excreted unchanged via the kidneys, with up to 74% of renal clearance attributed to active tubular secretion (most likely by a cation transporter). In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 and could potentially increase pyridostigmine concentrations. There is also potential for competition with lamivudine for active renal transport mechanisms, which may lead to increased levels of either drug. The clinical relevance is unknown. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Pyridoxine is absorbed from the GI tract and is converted to the active form pyridoxal phosphate. It is excreted in the urine as 4-pyridoxic acid. No interaction is expected with abacavir and lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and pyridoxine itself. However, pyridoxine administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 35%, 33% and 32%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations.

Pyrimethamine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir but in vitro data suggest that pyrimethamine inhibits the renal transporters OCT2 and MATE1 and may increase concentrations of lamivudine. No a priori dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with normal renal function.

Quercetin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Inconsistencies in the literature regarding the ability of quercetin to modulate CYP/P-gp activities make it difficult to predict the nature and magnitude of any interaction. However, quercetin is unlikely to produce a large effect on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Rabeprazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Rabeprazole is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Do Not Coadminister

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Raltegravir (RAL)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. If intensification of HIV treatment is needed, alternatives to raltegravir should be considered as coadministering two integrase inhibitors (i.e., raltegravir and dolutegravir) is unlikely to be of clinical benefit.

Description:

The steady-state pharmacokinetics of abacavir (600 mg once daily plus two NRTIs – excluding tenofovir ) were investigated when coadministered with raltegravir (400 mg twice daily) to 19 HIV+ subjects in a cross-over study. Abacavir AUC and Cmax increased by 3% and 6% and Cmin decreased by 17% in the presence of raltegravir. Exposure of abacavir’s active intracellular carbovir triphosphate anabolite was decreased, however, the clinical significance of this decrease is unclear.

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Ramipril

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Ramipril is hydrolysed to the active metabolite ramiprilat, and is metabolized to the diketopiperazine ester, diketopiperazine acid and the glucuronides of ramipril and ramiprilat. Dolutegravir is not expected to interfere with these metabolic pathways. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Ranitidine is excreted via the kidney, partially by the cationic system. Data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. No interaction was observed with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

This interaction has not been studied but a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. No dosage adjustment necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Retinol (Vitamin A) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Vitamin A esters are hydrolysed by pancreatic enzymes to retinol, which is then absorbed and re-esterified. Some retinol is stored in the liver. Retinol not stored in the liver undergoes glucuronide conjugation and subsequent oxidation to retinal and retinoic acid. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and retinol itself. However, retinol administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects.

No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Ribavirin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Ribavirin is partly metabolized (non CYP mediated) and partly excreted in the urine. Based on metabolism and clearance a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir. A possible intracellular interaction had been suggested as abacavir and ribavirin share the same phosphorylation pathways. However, a well-designed study to evaluate the effects of abacavir on intracellular ribavirin triphosphate and plasma ribavirin concentrations failed to show any significant effect. While some initial data suggested HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving abacavir-containing regimens may be at risk of lower response to ribavirin therapy, this has not been confirmed in more recent studies. No pharmacokinetic interaction was observed with lamivudine.

Description:

In vitro data indicate ribavirin reduces phosphorylation of lamivudine. However, no pharmacokinetic (e.g., plasma concentrations or intracellular triphosphorylated active metabolite concentrations) or pharmacodynamic (e.g., loss of HIV-1/HCV virologic suppression) interaction was observed when ribavirin and lamivudine (n = 18) were coadministered as part of a multi-drug regimen to HIV-1/HCV co-infected subjects.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Ribavirin steady state Cmin was prospectively determined in pharmacokinetic substudy on 124 HIV-HCV coinfected patients receiving ribavirin plus Peg-IFN from the ANRS CO-13 HEPAVIH cohort. Of these patients, 22% received abacavir. The overall median ribavirin Cmin was 1.6 mg/L with no statistical difference between abacavir users and non-users. There was no difference in the proportion of abacavir users versus non-users achieving RVR (respectively 59% versus 50%, p = 0.40) or EVR (72% versus 73%, p = 0.94), or in the HCV-RNA decline at week 4 or 12. The SVR rate was 45% for abacavir users and 24% for abacavir non-users, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.059).

To determine if use of abacavir, and other antiretrovirals were associated with reduced response to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, a cohort study was performed among antiretroviral-treated HIV/HCV patients initiating PEG-interferon plus ribavirin (n=212). 74 patients (35%) received abacavir. No differences were observed between abacavir users and non-users in early virologic response or sustained virologic response. No association was found between other antiretrovirals and lack of early or sustained response.

In order to assess the influence of antiretrovirals on hepatitis C treatment with ribavirin and peginterferon, the outcomes of 493 HIV positive patients receiving first line treatment for hepatitis C were retrospectively analysed. Among the factors associated with lack of sustained virological response according to multivariate analysis, a trend was observed with abacavir use, which was significant in patients with lower ribavirin plasma levels (<2.3 µg/ml). Use of abacavir may interfere with anti-HCV efficacy of peginterferon and ribavirin treatment. As both ribavirin and abacavir are guanosine analogues, an inhibitory competition between both agents may explain this observation.

Low response to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin in HIV-infected patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with abacavir. Vispo E, Barreiro P, Pineda JA Antivir Ther. 2008;13:429-37.

In multivariate analysis of data from the French HC02-Ribavic Study, concomitant treatment with abacavir and pegIFN + ribavirin was associated with an adjusted 4.9 fold increase in the risk of non-response to anti-HCV therapy. Ribavirin can affect intracellular NRTI anabolite levels by inhibiting the enzyme IMP dehydrogenase and it is intriguing to speculate that alterations of carbovir triphosphate levels (the active metabolite of abacavir) may be at least part of the reason for the observed effect.

The effect of ribavirin (800 mg/day) on the plasma and intracellular PK of zidovudine, lamivudine and stavudine was studied in HIV/HCV co-infected subjects receiving zidovudine plus lamivudine, or stavudine plus lamivudine. Plasma zidovudine, lamivudine and stavudine and intracellular drug and endogenous triphosphates were measured at baseline without ribavirin and after 8-12 weeks of ribavirin co-administration. Plasma results showed no impact of ribavirin on nucleoside concentrations and ribavirin levels were consistent with previous data measured in the absence of the three NRTIs. Similar findings were observed for the deoxycytidine and deoxythymidine triphosphate analogues, when given with or without ribavirin, suggesting that ribavirin does not perturb the intracellular metabolism of zidovudine, lamivudine or stavudine.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and riboflavin itself. However, riboflavin can be found in multivitamin preparations; simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Rifabutin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Rifabutin is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and cholinesterase. Coadministration of rifabutin (300 mg once daily) and dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir (Cmax increased by 16%; AUC and Ctrough decreased by 5% and 30%). No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of rifabutin and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC and Ctrough by 5% and 30%, and increased Cmax by 16% (induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A). No dose adjustment is necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Rifabutin had no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir. Coadministration of rifabutin (300 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) to 9 subjects increased dolutegravir Cmax by 16%, but decreased AUC and Ctrough by 5% and 30%.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir alone (50 mg once daily) and with rifabutin (300 mg once daily) was evaluated in 9 HIV-negative subjects. Rifabutin decreased dolutegravir AUC by 5% and Ctrough by 30%, but increased Cmax by 15%. The decrease in dolutegravir Ctrough is unlikely to be clinically significant given the known PK/PD relationships and data from phase 2b dose ranging studies.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Rifampicin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration decreases dolutegravir exposure. The European product label for Triumeq does not recommend coadministration with rifampicin. However, the US product label for Triumeq recommends that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping rifampicin as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. Coadministration of rifampicin (600 mg once daily) and twice daily dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 43%, 54% and 72%, respectively, compared to twice daily dolutegravir alone. When coadministration of these doses was compared to once daily dolutegravir (50 mg once daily), dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough increased by 18%, 33% and 22%, respectively. A modelling study showed that this dose adjustment is also sufficient in individuals with a high BMI. Further studies are required as to whether administering dolutegravir once daily at a dose of 100 mg can mitigate the reduction in dolutegravir exposure seen with rifampicin. Abacavir concentrations may decrease due to induction of UGTs by rifampicin, although to a moderate extent. This is unlikely to be clinically relevant as abacavir has a large therapeutic index. The interaction between lamivudine and rifampicin is unlikely to be of clinical significance as estimated population pharmacokinetic parameters for lamivudine during and after rifampicin were similar once between-occasional variability in bioavailability and absorption rate constant were accounted for. Of note: a high dose of rifampicin (35 mg/kg) compared to the standard dose (10 mg/kg) resulted in 43% decrease in dolutegravir trough concentrations (0.46 mg/L vs 0.80 mg/L). Most patients had dolutegravir concentrations above the IC90 target (0.064 mg/L), however, a higher proportion of participants on higher dose rifampicin failed to attain the 0.3 mg/L target. Importantly, no patient below either target thresholds had a detectable HIV viral load at week 24.

Description:

Coadministration of rifampicin and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 54%, 43% and 72%, respectively. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with rifampicin, the use of Triumeq is not recommended. Abacavir is metabolised by UGT (UGT2B7) and alcohol dehydrogenase; co-administration of inducers (e.g. rifampicin) of UGT enzymes could alter abacavir exposure.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

The dolutegravir dose (50 mg) in Triumeq is insufficient when coadministered with rifampicin as it decreases dolutegravir concentrations. The recommended dolutegravir dosage regimen is 50 mg twice daily. An additional dolutegravir 50-mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. Coadministration of rifampin (600 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) to 11 subjects decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 43%, 54% and 72%, respectively. When coadministration of these doses was compared to once daily dolutegravir (50 mg once daily, n=11), dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough increased by 18%, 33% and 22%, respectively.

The effect of a higher dose of rifampicin (35 mg/kg) on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir or efavirenz was evaluated in coinfected HIV/TB adults. Newly-diagnosed TB patients were randomized to either a standard (10 mg/kg) or a higher (35 mg/kg) dose of rifampicin. Antiretroviral treatment naïve patients were assigned to dolutegravir or efavirenz based regimens. Patients on dolutegravir or efavirenz based regimens at enrolment were maintained on the same regimen, however, dolutegravir was adjusted from once daily to twice daily dosing. Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed 6 weeks post TB treatment initiation with sampling for dolutegravir 12 hours (Ctrough) after the last dose and a mid-dose sampling for efavirenz. Overall, 149 participants were enrolled in the study. Geometric mean (95% CI) dolutegravir trough concentration for patients on higher dose rifampicin was lower than for those receiving standard dose rifampicin: 0.46 (0.31-0.67) mg/L versus 0.80 (0.56-1.14) mg/L, with a GMR of 0.57 (0.34-0.97). Using a threshold of 0.3 mg/L, a higher proportion of participants on higher dose rifampicin failed to attain the target dolutegravir through concentration compared to those on standard dose (39% vs 7%), P = 0.014. Using a lower target threshold of 0.064 mg/L, the difference in target attainment between higher and standard dose rifampicin was not statistically significant (4.4% vs 3.6%), P = 0.999. No patients with dolutegravir concentrations below either target thresholds had a detectable HIV viral load at week 24. The geometric mean for efavirenz mid-dose concentrations for patients on higher dose rifampicin was 37% lower than those receiving the standard dose: 2.94 (95% CI, 1.98-4.36) mg/L vs 4.64 (3.31-6.50) mg/L, with a GMR of 0.63 (0.38-1.07), P = 0.083. The proportion of patients who failed to attain the target mid-dose efavirenz concentrations of 1 mg/L was not significantly different between the 2 groups. No patients below the target had a detectable HIV viral load at week 24. Grade 3-4 adverse effects were similar in the high vs standard dose rifampicin arms. Sputum conversion at week 8 was higher in high dose versus standard dose arms. In conclusion, compared to the standard dose, a three-fold dose increase for rifampicin reduced plasma exposure of dolutegravir and efavirenz without loss of virological control of HIV.

Obesity can impact drug pharmacokinetics and consequently the magnitude of drug-drug interactions and the related recommendations for dose adjustment. Virtual clinical drug-drug interaction studies were conducted using physiologically modelling to compare the magnitude of the drug interaction between dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) and rifampicin (600 mg daily) in non-obese (BMI 18.5-30 kg/m2), obese (BMI 30-40 kg/m2) and morbidly obese (BMI 40-50 kg/m2) individuals. Rifampicin was predicted to decrease dolutegravir AUC by 72% in obese and by 77% in morbidly obese vs 68% in non-obese individuals; however, dolutegravir trough concentrations were reduced to a similar extent (83% and 85% vs 85%). Twice-daily dolutegravir with rifampicin resulted in trough concentrations always above the protein-adjusted 90% inhibitory concentration for all BMI groups and above the 300 ng/mL threshold in a similar proportion for all BMI groups. In conclusion, the combined effect of obesity and induction by rifampicin was predicted to further decrease dolutegravir exposure but not the minimal concentration at the end of the dosing interval. Thus, dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily with rifampicin can be used in individuals with a high BMI up to 50 kg/m2.

This study presented the 48-week outcome of the RADIANT-TB, a phase 2b, non-comparative, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of standard vs double dose dolutegravir in individuals with tuberculosis and on rifampicin-based therapy. Participants were randomized to receive dolutegravir/lamivudine/tenofovir and either supplemental dolutegravir or placebo continued for 2 weeks after stopping TB treatment. The outcome was the proportion of individuals with HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL at week 48, treatment emergent dolutegravir resistance and adherence assessed by tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) on dried blood spots. Overall, 108 participants were included. The proportion of individuals with virologic suppression at weeks 24 and 48 were similar between arms but lower at week 48 than at week 24 likely due to declining adherence. None of the 19 participants with study defined virological failure developed treatment emergent resistance to dolutegravir.

Tenofovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD) is the WHO-preferred first-line regimen but there are limited data on the effectiveness of TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir to overcome the interaction with rifampicin in TB/HIV co-infected individuals. 91 participants with TB/HIV co-infection were included. Of those, 75 were ART-naïve participants starting TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir after 15 days on TB treatment; 10 ART naïve participants starting TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir together with rifampicin, 5 starting TB treatment and changing to TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir after a median of 3.3 y on TLD and 1 starting rifampicin and TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir after changing from EFV/3TC/TDF. Among 89 surviving participants, 6 were lost of follow-up and a further 10 had no HIV-1 RNA result due to missed or remote visits. Thus, the virological outcome was assessed in 73, of whom 69 (95%) had HIV-1 RNA <1000 copies/mL and 68 (94%) had HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL. No dolutegravir resistance mutations were detected among 4 participants with HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL. Concomitant rifampicin containing TB treatment and TLD + 50 mg dolutegravir was well tolerated and achieved excellent viral suppression in a cohort of predominantly ART-naïve people with TB/HIV.

Food has been shown to increase dolutegravir concentrations in healthy volunteers by 33-66%. This study aimed to evaluate whether dolutegravir dosed at 50 mg once daily taken with food would be sufficient to compensate the rifampicin inducing effect. The pharmacokinetic study conducted in Bangkok enrolled TB/HIV coinfected adults (stable on rifampicin-containing regimen for drug-susceptible TB), to receive the fixed dose combination dolutegravir/3TC/TDF 50 mg once daily with food or the same drug combination plus an additional dose of dolutegravir 50 mg administered 12 hours later. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of dolutegravir 50 mg once daily vs 50 mg twice daily were determined and the percent of individuals with dolutegravir Cmin above the protein adjusted IC90 (i.e. 0.064 µg/mL) calculated. Twelve and sixteen participants were enrolled in the study (i.e. dolutegravir 50 mg once daily + food) and control arm (i.e. dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily), respectively. The majority were male (86%) with a median body weight of 57.5 kg. At baseline, median CD4 was 201 cells/µL (IQR 46-304) and median HIV-RNA was 4.9 log10 copies/mL (IQR 3.6-5.6). Dolutegravir Cmax was not statistically different when comparing the study arm versus the control arm. However, dolutegravir AUC was significantly lower (46% decrease) in the study arm with a GMR (90% CI) of 0.54 (0.36-0.81). Similarly, dolutegravir Cmin was significantly lower (70% decrease) in the study arm with a GMR of 0.30 (0.26-0.36) but with 83% and 94% of the study and control arm participants having dolutegravir Cmin above the protein adjusted IC90. At week 12, 83.3% and 75% of the participants in the study and control arm had HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL, respectively. The authors highlighted that even though substantial reductions in dolutegravir Cmin were observed in presence of rifampicin when dosed once daily + food, dolutegravir Cmin levels were mostly above the protein adjusted IC90 and the majority of participants were virologically suppressed at week 12.

This study investigated whether doubling the dolutegravir dose with a once daily dose can mitigate the reduction in dolutegravir exposure seen with rifampicin. Fourteen healthy subjects received dolutegravir (50 mg or 100 mg once daily for 7 days) alone and in combination with rifampicin (600 mg once daily). Rifampicin decreased the Cmax, AUC and C24 of dolutegravir by 35%, 57% and 86% (50 mg once daily) and by 36%, 58% and 88% (100 mg once daily). When compared to 50 mg once daily alone, doubling the dose of dolutegravir to 100 mg once daily in the presence of rifampicin increased dolutegravir Cmax by 9% and decreased AUC and C24 by 26% and 76%, respectively. Although there were substantial reductions in the dolutegravir key pharmacokinetic parameter of C24, dolutegravir concentrations when administered as 100 mg once daily with rifampicin remained above the protein binding-adjusted IC of 64 ng/ml. The authors suggest further study of this dose is required.

Coadministration of twice daily dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily, with lamivudine/tenofovir 300/300 mg, once daily) was studied in 10 HIV-1/TB co-infected subjects receiving rifampicin (600 mg once daily) with isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide. Dolutegravir trough concentrations were determined after at least 4 weeks of therapy and were 1123 ng/ml (820-1746 mg; median with range). Rifampicin did not significantly impact lamivudine and tenofovir plasma concentrations. After 48 weeks of therapy, two patients had plasma viral loads >50 copies/ml and were found to have dolutegravir trough concentrations below the target of 640 ng/ml, corresponding to an inhibitory quotient of 0.1 and 5. These results suggest that dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily and rifampicin should only be used in subjects without HIV integrase resistance.

Healthy volunteers received dolutegravir 50 mg once daily for 7 days, then dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily for 7 days and then dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily together with rifampicin 600 mg once daily for 14 days. Dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily in presence of rifampicin achieved 33% increase in mean AUC and 22% increase in Ctrough compared to dolutegravir 50 mg once daily alone. The authors conclude that rifampicin containing regimens including twice daily dolutegravir may represent a new treatment option for patients who require concomitant treatment of HIV and TB.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Rifapentine

Quality of Evidence: Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. However, coadministration may substantially decrease dolutegravir concentrations due to CYP3A4 induction. The magnitude of rifapentine-mediated CYP3A4 induction is predicted to be comparable to rifampicin. Although no dosing recommendations are provided for rifapentine, the European product label for Triumeq does not recommend coadministration with rifampicin. However, the US product label for Triumeq recommends that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, should be taken. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping rifapentine as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. In healthy volunteers receiving weekly rifapentine and isoniazid, the addition of dolutegravir resulted in flu-like symptoms and LFT elevations in 2 out of 4 patients, leading to study termination. Intolerance was hypothesized be related to rifapentine (+/- healthy volunteer status) rather than isoniazid, since in the INSPIRING study the addition of dolutegravir to daily rifampicin and isoniazid was well tolerated in HIV-TB co-infected adults. Thus, the coadministration of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) and rifapentine/isoniazid (900/900 mg) once weekly was evaluated again in HIV infected individuals and was well tolerated in persons living with HIV. The overall dolutegravir Ctrough decreased by 47% with once weekly isoniazid/rifapentine, but the magnitude of the decrease varied by day with decreases of 23%, 64% and 56% occurring 1 day, 2 days and 5-6 days after isoniazid/rifapentine dosing, respectively. Importantly, geometric mean Ctrough values were above 300 ng/mL at all visits over the 12 weeks of co-treatment and HIV viral load remained suppressed in all participants. The authors concluded that no dose adjustment of dolutegravir is needed when coadministered with once weekly isoniazid/rifapentine. However, dolutegravir 50 mg twice daily should be considered in individuals with suspicion of failure or blips.

Description:

Weekly isoniazid and rifapentine for 3 months (3HP) given to virally suppressed people with HIV on dolutegravir-based regimens has been found to be safe and to maintain virologic suppression with adequate dolutegravir levels. This study aimed to evaluate whether 3HP can be administered simultaneously with dolutegravir-based regimens also in ART-naive people. Participants were assigned to 6 months isoniazid (6H; n=25) and 3HP (n=50). Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed prior to the first 3HP dose, 3 days after the 3rd HP dose and 3 days after the 8th HP dose in both groups. By week 8, viral suppression (VL <50 copies/mL) was achieved in 100% participants in both groups. At week 12, viral suppression was present in 44/50 (88%) and 23/25 (92%) participants in the 3HP and 6H groups, respectively. Dolutegravir trough concentration was above the PA-IC90 (64 ng/mL) in all participants at all timepoints, and 158 ng/mL (the lower 5th percentile confidence bound of concentrations achieved with fully suppressive 10 mg daily dosing in the SPRING-1 trial) in all but 2 individuals at week 3 and in all individuals at week 8. The 2 individuals with dolutegravir <158 ng/mL at week 3 suppressed by week 8. Simultaneous initiation of 3HP and dolutegravir-based ART resulted in rapid viral suppression among ART-naive people with HIV. Despite a 72% induction of dolutegravir clearance in the 3HP group, dolutegravir concentrations enabled viral suppression < 50 copies/mL in all individuals in both groups at 8 weeks.

The effect of daily rifapentine/isoniazid (600/300 mg once daily for 1 month, 1HP) on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir was evaluated in 32 participants receiving dolutegravir 50 mg twice while on treatment with 1HP. Dolutegravir pharmacokinetics was evaluated before 1HP treatment while dolutegravir was dosed 50 mg once daily (day 0) and during 1HP treatment while dolutegravir was dosed 50 mg twice daily (day 28). The median dolutegravir trough concentrations was 1751 ng/mL on day 0 versus 1987 on day 28. Median dolutegravir trough concentrations at days 3, 14, and 21 were 4386, 1950 and 2004, ng/mL, respectively. At the end of dosing (day 28), 31/32 participants had HIV RNA levels <50 copies/mL. One participant had an HIV viral load of 160 copies/mL at day 28 (dolutegravir concentration was 2162 ng/mL), however, repeat viral load was <50 copies/mL on day 42. No serious adverse events were reported. Dolutegravir trough concentrations with 50 mg twice daily dosing during 1HP treatment were higher than those with standard dose dolutegravir once daily alone. The pharmacokinetic, virological and safety data provide evidence for twice daily dolutegravir in combination with 1HP for TB prevention.

Once weekly rifapentine/isoniazid doses (900/900 mg) for 3 months (3HP) coadministered with once daily dolutegravir has resulted in serious adverse events in a previous study conducted in healthy volunteers requiring the premature interruption of the study. This study evaluated the safety, drug interactions and viral suppression of dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) with once weekly 3HP in 61 HIV infected individuals. The overall dolutegravir Ctrough geometric mean ratio (GMR) with and without once weekly isoniazid/rifapentine was 0.53 (90% CI 0.49-0.56). The GMR varied by day with values of 0.77 (0.71-0.84) 1 day after isoniazid/rifapentine dosing, 0.36 (0.32-0.4) 2 days after dosing and 0.44 (0.4-0.48) 5-6 days after dosing. Importantly, geometric mean Ctrough values were above 300 ng/mL at all visits over the 12 weeks of co-treatment and HIV viral load remained suppressed in all participants. No rifapentine/isoniazid-related adverse effects above Grade 3 were observed in the study participants. The authors concluded that dolutegravir 50 mg once daily may be coadministered with a once weekly rifapentine/isoniazid treatment without dose adjustment of dolutegravir in HIV infected individuals.

INSPIRING (NCT02178592) is a Phase 3b, non-comparative, active control, randomised, open-label study in HIV-1 infected ART-naïve adults (CD4+ ≥50 cells/µL) with drug-sensitive TB. Participants on rifampin-based TB treatment for up to 8 weeks were randomised (3:2) to receive dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily during and for 2 weeks post-TB therapy, followed by 50 mg once daily) or efavirenz (600 mg once daily), with 2 investigator-selected NRTIs for 52 weeks. Of 113 subjects enrolled, 69 were randomised to dolutegravir and 44 to efavirenz. The week 48 response rates were 75% (52/69, 95% CI 65-86%) for dolutegravir and 82% (36/44, 95% CI 70-93%) for efavirenz. The dolutegravir non-responses were driven by non-treatment related discontinuations (n=10 lost to follow-up). There were no deaths or study drug switches. There were 2 discontinuations for toxicity (efavirenz). There were 3 protocol-defined virological failures (2 dolutegravir, no acquired resistance; 1 efavirenz, emergent resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors). The tuberculosis treatment success rate was high. Tuberculosis-associated IRIS was uncommon (4/arm), with no discontinuations for IRIS. The authors concluded that twice-daily dolutegravir was effective and well tolerated in adults with HIV receiving rifampicin-based tuberculosis treatment.

An open-label, intrasubject drug interaction study in HIV-negative healthy volunteers comprised investigated the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir once daily alone and with once weekly isoniazid and rifapentine. Of 4 enrolled subjects (3 males, 1 female, age 22-46 years), 3 completed the study and 1 withdrew prior to the 3rd dose of isoniazid/rifapentine. The study was stopped prematurely due to the development of multiple AEs in 2 subjects. In both subjects, flu-like syndrome with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and fever (Grades 2 and 3) began ~8 hours after the last doses of dolutegravir, rifapentine, and isoniazid and lasted 24-48 hours. One subject required a 24-hour hospitalization for management of orthostatic hypotension (Grade 3). Transaminase elevations (Grades 2-4) occurred in both subjects. Exposure to rifapentine and its active metabolite were similar to reference PK data, but isoniazid exposure was 67-92% higher than expected in the 2 subjects who developed AEs. Limited pharmacokinetic data suggested isoniazid/rifapentine decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 46% and 74%. Given that flu-like syndrome was reported in <4% of subjects in studies of the efficacy of weekly isoniazid/rifapentine alone, these data suggest that co-administration of dolutegravir and weekly isoniazid/rifapentine should be avoided.

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicted for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with rilpivirine would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between rilpivirine and dolutegravir. Coadministration of rilpivirine (25 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough by 13%, 12% and 22%, respectively. Rilpivirine Cmax, AUC and Ctrough increased by 10%, 6% and 21%, respectively. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Coadministration of rilpivirine and dolutegravir increased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Ctrough by 12%, 13% and 22%, respectively. There was no effect on rilpivirine. No dose adjustment is necessary.

Ritonavir (RTV)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) is indicated for use as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with ritonavir would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. Based on studies with boosted PIs, ritonavir is not expected to significantly affect dolutegravir pharmacokinetics. Using cross-study comparisons to historical pharmacokinetic data, dolutegravir did not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of ritonavir. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Sitagliptin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Sitagliptin is primarily eliminated in urine as unchanged drug (active secretion by OAT3, OATP4C1, P-gp), with metabolism by CYP3A4 representing a minor elimination pathway. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit these transporters at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Although metabolism may play a more significant role in the elimination of sitagliptin in the setting of severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a clinically significant increase is unlikely as sitagliptin is mainly eliminated unchanged and has a large safety window, and dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with lamivudine.

Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Based on drug interaction studies conducted with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, no clinically significant drug interactions have been observed with dolutegravir. Coadministration of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (400/100 mg, once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) had no effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of sofosbuvir (AUC and Cmax decreased by 8% and 12%), GS-331007 (AUC and Cmin both decreased by 1%, Cmax increased by 1%), velpatasvir (AUC, Cmax and Cmin decreased by 9%, 6% and 12%) or dolutegravir (AUC, Cmax and Cmin increased by 6%, 6% and 4%) was observed. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Lamivudine is not expected to inhibit or induce any relevant metabolic enzymes or transporters of sofosbuvir or velpatasvir.

Description:

Coadministration of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (400/100 mg, once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) was studied in 24 healthy volunteers in a cross-over study. Sofosbuvir AUC and Cmax decreased by 8% and 12%; AUC and Cmin of GS-331007 both decreased by 1% and Cmax increased by 1%. Velpatasvir AUC, Cmax and Cmin decreased by 9%, 6% and 12%, respectively. Dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and Cmin increased by 6%, 6% and 4%, respectively. Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and dolutegravir-containing regimens may be coadministered without dose adjustment.

St John's Wort

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with Triumeq (dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine) has not been studied but is expected to decrease dolutegravir exposure. The European and the US product labels for Triumeq do not recommend coadministration with St John’s Wort. However, the US product label for Triumeq mentions that an additional dolutegravir 50 mg tablet, separated by 12 hours from Triumeq, can be taken in presence of other inducers such as carbamazepine or rifampicin. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping St John’s wort as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. No significant interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A recent study suggests a low risk of a clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interaction with low-hyperforin formulations (<1 mg/day) of St John’s Wort (hyperforin is the constituent responsible for induction of CYPs and P-gp).

Description:

Coadministration has not been studied but a decrease in dolutegravir is expected due to induction of UGT1A1 and CYP3A enzymes. A similar reduction in exposure as observed with carbamazepine is expected. Since the recommended dose of dolutegravir is 50 mg twice daily when co-administered with St. John's wort, the use of Triumeq is not recommended for patients taking St John’s wort.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Avoid coadministration with Triumeq because there are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

In a phase I, open-label, non-randomized, single-sequence study, a low-hyperforin St John’s wort extract was investigated using a drug cocktail in 20 healthy volunteers. No pharmacokinetic interactions were observed for CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and P-glycoprotein, with AUC and Cmax of the probe drugs showing 90% confidence intervals well within the predefined bioequivalence range of 80-125% (GMR, drugs taken together with extract vs. probe drug alone). These data suggest that low hyperforin preparations of St John’s wort have a lower risk of drug-drug interactions than high hyperforin St. John’s wort preparations.

Strontium ranelate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. A pharmacokinetic interaction with abacavir or lamivudine is unlikely as strontium is predominantly eliminated unchanged by the kidneys. However, strontium is a divalent cation and can chelate with dolutegravir thereby reducing its absorption. Separating administration of dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine and strontium ranelate by at least 4 hours is recommended.

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Sulfadiazine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Sulfadiazine is metabolized in part by CYP2C9. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations and no interaction is expected with abacavir. Sulfadiazine has been associated with crystalluria leading to renal toxicity and in some cases renal failure, and case reports in immunocompromised patients have suggested that AIDS patients may be particularly prone to sulfadiazine-induced renal toxicity. As lamivudine is predominantly excreted via active renal transport, monitoring of renal function is warranted if sulfadiazine is administered with lamivudine.

Sulfadoxine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Sulfadoxine is rarely used alone, but is usually given in combination with pyrimethamine. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir, however, in vitro data suggest that pyrimethamine inhibits the renal transporters OCT2 and MATE1 and may increase concentrations of lamivudine. No a priori dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with normal renal function.

Tamoxifen

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on the metabolic profiles of the drugs there is little potential for pharmacokinetic interaction. Tamoxifen metabolism occurs mostly via two pathways: the formation of N-desmethyltamoxifen (via mainly CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) is the main route (92%) and the formation of 4-hydroxytamoxifen (via CYP2D6 > 2C9/19, CYP3A4 and CYP2B6) is a minor route (7%). Further metabolism of both metabolites results in the formation of endoxifen which is thought to be the most important metabolite contributing to the pharmacologic activity of tamoxifen. Endoxifen is formed from N-desmethyltamoxifen via CYP2D6 and from 4-hydroxytamoxifen via CYP3A4.

Telbivudine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Telbivudine is eliminated primarily by urinary excretion as unchanged drug. The renal clearance of telbivudine approaches normal glomerular filtration rate, suggesting that filtration is the main mechanism of excretion. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. Coadministration of telbivudine (200 mg once daily) and lamivudine (100 mg once daily) to 16 subjects had no significant effect on telbivudine Cmax and AUC (both increased by ~6%) or lamivudine Cmax and AUC (decreased by 14% and 1%). Although doses studied were lower than used in clinical practice, no interaction is expected at clinically relevant doses.

Description:

Coadministration of telbivudine (200 mg once daily) with lamivudine (100 mg once daily) was studied in 16 healthy men. Telbivudine Cmax and AUC increased by 6.7% and 6.3%; lamivudine Cmax and AUC decreased by 14% and 1%. Although the doses studied were lower than used in clinical practice, a clinically significant interaction is unlikely at higher doses.

Tenofovir-DF (TDF)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) can be used as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with tenofovir-DF would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between tenofovir-DF and dolutegravir, abacavir or lamivudine. Coadministration of tenofovir-DF (300 mg once daily) and dolutegravir (50 mg once daily) decreased dolutegravir Cmax and Ctrough by 3% and 8%, and increased AUC by 1%. Tenofovir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough increased by 9%, 12% and 19%, respectively. No significant pharmacokinetic interaction was observed when tenofovir-DF (300 mg once daily) and lamivudine (150 mg twice daily for 7 days) were coadministered. There was no change in AUC, Cmax or Cmin of tenofovir. Lamivudine AUC and Cmin were unaltered, and there was a 24% decrease in Cmax. Coadministration of tenofovir-DF (300 mg once daily) and abacavir (300 mg single dose) had no effect on tenofovir AUC or Cmax, and abacavir AUC; abacavir Cmax increased by 12%.

Description:

Coadministration of dolutegravir and tenofovir increased dolutegravir AUC by 1% and decreased Cmax and Ctrough by 3% and 8%. There was no effect on tenofovir. No dose adjustment is necessary when Triumeq is combined with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir.

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and thiamine itself. However, thiamine can be found in multivitamin preparations; simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects. Dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Ctrough decreased by 35%, 33% and 32%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking medications containing polyvalent cations.

No Interaction Expected

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Thiopental

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Although pentobarbital (a potent inducer of hepatic microsomal drug metabolism) is formed during thiopental metabolism, levels do not reach the therapeutic range. Therefore, dolutegravir or abacavir pharmacokinetics are unlikely to be affected significantly by coadministration with thiopental. Renal excretion of unchanged thiopental is thought to be minimal so there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine due to competition for renal elimination pathways.

Thioridazine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Thioridazine is metabolized by CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. No effect on thioridazine is expected as dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Thioridazine is a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 and could potentially decrease dolutegravir concentrations, but this is unlikely to be of clinical significance as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Triclabendazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. In vitro data suggest that, triclabendazole and its active sulfoxide metabolite are inhibitors of CYP3A4. Coadministration may increase dolutegravir concentrations although to a moderate extent as CYP3A4 does not play a major role in dolutegravir metabolism. Furthermore, due to short term dosing of triclabendazole, the effect on antiretrovirals is likely to be minimal. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Renal excretion of unchanged triclabendazole appears to be minimal (<10%) and there is little potential for an interaction with lamivudine via competition for renal elimination pathways.

Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine has not been studied. Trimethoprim is primarily eliminated by the kidneys through glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. In vitro data indicate that dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 but is unlikely to cause a clinically relevant drug interaction with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. No interaction is expected with abacavir. In vitro data indicate that trimethoprim inhibits the renal transporters OCT2 and MATE1. Coadministration with trimethoprim increased lamivudine exposure by 43%, but lamivudine had no effect on trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole. Note, the bioavailability of lamivudine has been shown to be significantly reduced in a dose dependent manner by sorbitol which is present in liquid formulations such trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole paediatric suspension.

Description:

Trimethoprim has been shown to increase lamivudine plasma concentrations however; the resulting increase was not clinically significant. Coadministration of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (160/800 mg once daily for 5 days) and lamivudine (300 mg single dose) increased lamivudine AUC and Cmax by 43% and 7% due to inhibition of OCT. There was no effect on trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole. Coadministration with abacavir has not been studied. No Triumeq dosage adjustment necessary, unless patient has renal impairment.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Trimethoprim has been shown to increase lamivudine plasma concentrations. This interaction is not considered clinically significant as no dose adjustment of lamivudine is needed. Coadministration of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (160/800 mg once daily for 5 days) and lamivudine (300 mg single dose) was studied in 14 subjects. Lamivudine AUC increased by 43% and there was no effect on the pharmacokinetics of trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Non-linear mixed effects modelling analysis on samples from 77 HIV-infected subjects receiving lamivudine alone (150 twice daily) or with nevirapine (200 mg twice daily) with concurrent trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (160/800 mg every other day [n=51], three times weekly [n=23], or twice daily [n=3]) revealed an effect of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole on lamivudine pharmacokinetics. There was a significant reduction of 31% in apparent oral clearance of lamivudine which would be expected to result in a 43% increase in the average steady-state concentration.

The effect of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (160/800 mg once daily) on a single dose of lamivudine (300 mg) was studied in 14 HIV-infected subjects. Coadministration increased lamivudine AUV by 43% and decreased renal clearance by 35%. There was no effect of lamivudine on the pharmacokinetics of trimethoprim of sulfamethoxazole. Given the favourable safety profile of lamivudine, it is unlikely that this interaction will result in a significant increase in concentration-related toxicity at the doses studied.

Vinblastine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Vinblastine is metabolized by CYP3A4, but dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. Vinblastine induces CYP3A4 but no significant effect is expected on dolutegravir exposure given that CYP3A4 plays a minor role in dolutegravir metabolism. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Midazolam pharmacokinetics was evaluated in 6 patients who were enrolled in a phase I/II study of infusional vinblastine given in combination with the P-glycoprotein antagonist valspodar and received the CYP3A4 probe drug midazolam. Vinblastine increased the median clearance of the CYP3A4 probe drug midazolam from 21.7 L/h to 32.3 L/h. In vitro, vinblastine induced CYP3A4 protein. Cell-based reported gene assays using transiently transfected HepG2 and NIH3T3 cells indicated that vinblastine weakly activated human and mouse full-length NR1I2 but had no effect on NR1I3. Collectively, these findings suggest that vinblastine is able to induce CYP3A and thus has the potential to cause interactions with other CYP3A4 substrates.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and vitamin E itself. However, vitamin E can be found in multivitamin preparations; simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Zidovudine (AZT, ZDV)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Triumeq (dolutegravir, abacavir, lamivudine) can be used as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, in specific clinical situations where an intensification of HIV treatment is needed, coadministration with zidovudine would be possible from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. No interaction is expected with dolutegravir. Coadministration of single doses of abacavir (600 mg), lamivudine (150 mg), and zidovudine (300 mg) showed no clinically relevant changes in the pharmacokinetics of abacavir. Lamivudine AUC decreased by 15% and zidovudine AUC increased by 10% with concurrent abacavir. No clinically significant alterations in lamivudine or zidovudine pharmacokinetics were observed with coadministration of zidovudine (200 mg, single dose) and lamivudine (300 mg single dose).

Description:

Coadministration has not been studied. No dose adjustment is necessary when Triumeq is combined with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Fifteen HIV-1–infected subjects were enrolled in a crossover-designed drug interaction trial evaluating single doses of abacavir (600 mg), lamivudine (150 mg), and zidovudine (300 mg) alone or in combination. Analysis showed no clinically relevant changes in the pharmacokinetics of abacavir with the addition of lamivudine or zidovudine or the combination of lamivudine and zidovudine. Lamivudine exposure (AUC decreased 15%) and zidovudine exposure (AUC increased 10%) did not show clinically relevant changes with concurrent abacavir. No clinically significant alterations in lamivudine or zidovudine pharmacokinetics were observed in 12 asymptomatic HIV-1-infected adult patients given a single dose of zidovudine (200 mg) in combination with multiple doses of lamivudine (300 mg every 12 hours).

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Multiple dose pharmacokinetics were determined in HIV-infected subjects following coadministration of abacavir (200, 400 or 600 mg three times daily or 300 mg twice daily) alone or with zidovudine (200 mg three times daily or 300 mg twice daily). Coadministration of zidovudine had only small and inconsistent effects on the steady state pharmacokinetics of abacavir that did not increase with dose. At the clinical abacavir dose (300 mg twice daily), zidovudine coadministration had no effect on abacavir AUC. The pharmacokinetic profiles of zidovudine in the absence of abacavir were not determined; however, mean AUC and Cmax values for zidovudine in the presence of abacavir were comparable to historical steady state values.

The pharmacokinetics and safety of single doses of abacavir (600 mg), zidovudine (300 mg) and lamivudine (150 mg) were evaluated when given alone or with either or both of the other drugs to 13 HIV-infected subjects. Coadministration of abacavir with zidovudine (with or without lamivudine) decreased ZDV Cmax by ~20%, delayed ZDV Tmax by 0.5h and increased AUC of zidovudine glucuronide by up to 40%. There were no differences in the pharmacokinetics of abacavir when given alone, or with zidovudine or lamivudine, or with both zidovudine and lamivudine.

Zoledronic acid (Zoledronate)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Zoledronic acid is eliminated unchanged renally. (Note, caution is required if given with calcium supplements as dolutegravir may be subject to chelation by high concentrations of divalent cations which may result in reduced dolutegravir concentrations.)

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of calcium supplements and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 39%, 37% and 39%, respectively, due to complex binding to polyvalent ions. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) was studied under fasted, fed and temporally separated conditions. Simultaneous coadministration to fasting subjects (n=12) decreased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 37%, 39% and 39%, respectively. Simultaneous coadministration to fed subjects (n=11) increased dolutegravir Cmax, AUC and Cmin by 7%, 9% and 8%, respectively. Coadministration of calcium carbonate 2 h after dolutegravir (n=11) had no effect on dolutegravir Cmax and decreased dolutegravir AUC and Cmin by 6% and 10%, respectively. Administer Triumeq 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking supplements containing calcium. Alternatively, Triumeq and supplements containing calcium can be taken together with food.

Coadministration of oral midazolam (3 mg) and dolutegravir (25 mg once daily) to 10 subjects decreased midazolam AUC by 5%. No significant interaction is expected with buccal administration of midazolam as pharmacokinetic interactions are more pronounced for oral as compared to buccal or parenteral midazolam as CYP3A4 enzymes are also present in the upper gastro-intestinal tract. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

In vivo, dolutegravir did not have an effect on midazolam, a CYP3A4 probe.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

In drug interaction trials, dolutegravir did not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam. Coadministration of midazolam (3 mg) and dolutegravir (25 mg once daily) to 10 subjects decreased midazolam AUC by 5%.

Triumeq US Prescribing Information, ViiV Healthcare, May 2019.

Coadministration of dolutegravir (25 mg once daily) and midazolam (3 mg single oral dose) was studied in 10 healthy subjects. Plasma midazolam AUC values were similar for the coadministration of midazolam with 25 mg dolutegravir (15.4 ng.h/ml on day 10 [CV, 41%]) and administration of midazolam alone (16.3 ng.h/ml on day1 [CV, 23%]); the GLS mean ratio was 0.945 (90% CI, 0.815, 1.10). These data demonstrate that dolutegravir does not induce or inhibit the CYP3A isozyme in vivo.

Methotrexate (Immunosuppressant)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Methotrexate is predominantly eliminated via the kidneys, including active tubular secretion (OAT1, OAT3 mediate methotrexate transport in the kidney whereas MRP4 and BCRP mediate methotrexate efflux in the urine). No interaction is expected with dolutegravir or abacavir. There is no risk for competition for active renal transport mechanisms as lamivudine is eliminated by other renal transporters. Results of a clinical study evaluating the co-administration of high-dose of intravenous methotrexate for chemotherapy with NRTIs (abacavir/lamivudine or emtricitabine/tenofovir-DF) or integrase inhibitors showed that methotrexate half-life was not prolonged. Note, some methotrexate product labels contraindicate its use or advise caution in immunodeficiency and some contraindicate its use in HIV infection.

Description:

Methotrexate concentrations were determined in 43 HIV+ patients treated with ARVs and chemotherapy containing high dose methotrexate (3g/m2). Methotrexate elimination half-life was not affected by use of NNRTIs, integrase inhibitors or NRTIs (tenofovir /emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine).

Nizatidine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Nizatidine is primarily eliminated via tubular secretion and glomerular filtration in urine. Data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. Nizatidine is unlikely to alter absorption of abacavir and lamivudine.

Description:

This interaction has not been studied but a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. No dosage adjustment necessary.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Letermovir is partly eliminated by glucuronidation via UGT1A1/3, but is largely eliminated unchanged in the bile. Dolutegravir is mainly metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. The effect of letermovir on UGT1A1 is unclear; the product label mentions it could potentially increase or decrease exposure of UGT1A1 substrates. However, inhibition of UGT1A1 would not require a dosage adjustment of dolutegravir based on the drug-drug interaction study with atazanavir. Furthermore, no dosage adjustment of dolutegravir would be needed if letermovir has a moderate inducing effect of UGT1A1. Letermovir does not affect abacavir or lamivudine.

Ferrous sulfate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with ferrous sulfate has not been studied. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. Administration of ferrous fumarate (324 mg) simultaneously under fed conditions or 2 hours after dolutegravir had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure. However, when coadministered simultaneously in the fasted state, dolutegravir AUC and Cmax decreased by 54% and 57%, respectively. A similar effect may occur with ferrous sulfate. Triumeq and supplements containing iron can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, iron supplements should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of iron supplements and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 54%, 57% and 56%, respectively, due to complex binding to polyvalent ions. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of ferrous fumarate (324 mg) and dolutegravir (50 mg single dose) was studied under fasted, fed and temporally separated conditions.

Sotalol

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Sotalol is mainly eliminated unchanged by the kidney by glomerular filtration and to a small degree by active secretion via the renal transporters OCT2 and MATE1. Dolutegravir may increase sotalol exposure via inhibition of OCT2. Based on the drug-drug interaction study with dolutegravir and metformin (another drug transported by OCT2 and MATE1), the increase in sotalol exposure is expected to be ~80% or ~110% when dolutegravir is administered once daily and twice daily, respectively. In addition, there is potential for competition with sotalol and lamivudine for elimination via renal transport proteins, which may lead to increased concentrations of either drug. It is recommended to start sotalol at a lower dose and adjust dosage until the desired clinical effect is achieved. No interaction is expected with abacavir.

Valproic acid

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Studied have shown that a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Valproic acid circulates in plasma as the valproate ion. Valproate is mainly glucuronidated by UGTs 1A6, 1A9 and 2B7 and metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Valproate has no inducing effects on metabolism. Valproic acid has been shown to significantly reduce total dolutegravir concentrations due to protein binding displacement. However, this interaction is not clinically relevant since the concentrations of free dolutegravir (pharmacologically active) are not decreased. No significant interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Abacavir is metabolised by UGT (UGT2B7) and alcohol dehydrogenase; co-administration of inhibitors (e.g. valproic acid) of UGT enzymes could alter abacavir exposure.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, June 2019.

Total and unbound dolutegravir plasma concentrations were measured in HIV-infected individuals on once-daily 50 mg dolutegravir-containing combination ART prior to and after the concomitant administration of valproic acid (30 mg/kg/day orally divided into two equal doses). Data from 6 participants receiving valproic acid showed that during valproic acid administration, total dolutegravir levels decreased sharply from 1.36 mg/L on day 0 to 0.85 mg/L, 0.31 and 0.14 mg/L on days 1, 7 and 14. Total dolutegravir concentrations in the 4 control participants not receiving valproic acid remained comparable during the same period: 1.27 ± 1.49 mg/L. A parallel increase was observed in unbound dolutegravir fractions ranging from 0.39% to 0.58% during valproic acid administration, compared with 0.25% to 0.28% without valproic acid. Unbound dolutegravir concentrations were above the established in vitro EC90 value for unbound dolutegravir in 85% of the tested samples. This study supports that the decrease in total dolutegravir concentrations in presence of valproic acid is mainly due to protein binding displacement of dolutegravir by valproic acid. If dolutegravir is taken with food, this interaction is probably not clinically relevant.

The dolutegravir/valproic acid drug-drug interaction is primarily based on protein displacement. Bollen PDJ, Prins HAB, Colbers A, et al. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2021; 76(5):1273-1276.

A retrospective analysis of dolutegravir trough concentrations in 363 samples (from 149 patients) showed lower trough concentrations in 11 samples from 7 patients on valproic acid (0.068 µg/ml vs 0.557 µg/ml). Detailed pharmacokinetic sampling was performed in two hospitalized patients requiring valproic acid while on dolutegravir-based regimens. When compared to a mean reference AUC value of 75.1 µg.h/mL for dolutegravir twice daily, dolutegravir AUC in the first patient was 82% lower with IV valproic acid and 87-91% lower with oral valproic acid. In the second patient, dolutegravir AUC was 80% lower with oral valproic acid when compared to the mean reference AUC.

Sodium valproate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with sodium valproate has not been studied but studies with valproic acid suggest a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Sodium valproate circulates in plasma as the valproate ion. Valproate is mainly glucuronidated by UGTs 1A6, 1A9 and 2B7 and metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Valproate has no inducing effects on metabolism. Although valproic acid significantly reduced total dolutegravir concentrations due to protein binding displacement, this interaction is not clinically relevant since the concentrations of pharmacologically active free (unbound) dolutegravir are not decreased. No significant interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Valproate semisodium (Divalproex sodium)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration with valproate semisodium (divalproex semisodium) has not been studied but studies with valproic acid suggest a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Valproate semisodium (divalproex semisodium) is a stable coordination compound comprised of sodium valproate and valproic acid and dissociates to the valproate ion in the gastrointestinal tract. Valproate is mainly glucuronidated by UGTs 1A6, 1A9 and 2B7 and metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Valproate has no inducing effects on metabolism. Although valproic acid significantly reduced total dolutegravir concentrations due to protein binding displacement, this interaction is not clinically relevant since the concentrations of pharmacologically active free (unbound) dolutegravir are not decreased. No significant interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Leflunomide is primarily metabolized to the active metabolite teriflunomide (A771726). Metabolism is not controlled by a single enzyme and has been shown to occur in microsomal and cytosolic cellular fractions. Interaction studies with the non-specific CYP inhibitor cimetidine and with the strong inducer rifampicin suggest that CYP metabolism plays a minor role in leflunomide metabolism. Dolutegravir is mainly metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and does not inhibit or induce CYP enzymes. Abacavir is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and UGTs and lamivudine is eliminated renally. Teriflunomide had no significant effect on CYP3A4.

Do Not Coadminister

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Mitotane

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but is not recommended. Mitotane is primarily metabolized in adrenal cells and is a strong inducer of CYP3A4. Dolutegravir is metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Coadministration is expected to decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Given the persisting inducing effect upon discontinuation of a strong inducer and the very long elimination half-life (18-159 days) of mitotane, a dose increase to overcome this interaction is unlikely to be feasible. Dolutegravir should not be used 3-6 months after the last dose of mitotane given the very long elimination half-life of mitotane. No interaction is expected with abacavir and lamivudine.

Do Not Coadminister

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Fampridine (Dalfampridine)

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Fampridine is metabolized by CYP2E1 but is predominantly eliminated unchanged by the kidney with active secretion by OCT2. Dolutegravir inhibits OCT2 and has the potential to cause seizures due to increased fampridine plasma concentration via OCT2 inhibition. Coadministration is contraindicated in the European product label for dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine, but the US product label advises that the potential benefits of taking dalfampridine should be considered against the risk of seizures.

Description:

Co-administration is contraindicated with medicinal products with narrow therapeutic windows, that are substrates of organic cation transporter (OCT) 2, including but not limited to fampridine (also known as dalfampridine). Co-administration of dolutegravir has the potential to cause seizures due to increased fampridine plasma concentration via inhibition of OCT2 transporter; co-administration has not been studied. Fampridine co-administration with Triumeq is contraindicated.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare Ltd, May 2020.

Dolutegravir may increase plasma concentrations of drugs eliminated via OCT2 or MATE1 (e.g. dalfampridine). Elevated levels of dalfampridine increase the risk of seizures. The potential benefits of taking dalfampridine concurrently with Triumeq should be considered against the risk of seizures in these patients.

Dexlansoprazole

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. However, data from an interaction study with omeprazole suggest that solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH. Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment or separation. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine.

Description:

Dolutegravir may be coadministered with PPIs or H2-antagonists without dose adjustment as solubility of dolutegravir is not influenced by changes in gastric pH and coadministration with omeprazole had minimal effect on dolutegravir exposure. Coadministration of omeprazole (40 mg once daily) and single doses of dolutegravir (50 mg single dose, administered 2 hours after omeprazole) was studied in 12 HIV-negative subjects and had no significant effect on dolutegravir exposure (no change in AUC, 8% decrease in Cmax, 5% decrease in Cmin).

Hydroxychloroquine

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Hydroxychloroquine undergoes CYP mediated metabolism by CYPs 2C8, 3A4 and 2D6, and is also eliminated unchanged via the kidney. Dolutegravir is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes at clinically relevant concentrations. No interaction is expected with abacavir. Due to the multiple elimination pathways, a clinically significant interaction with lamivudine is unlikely.

Potential Interaction

Dolutegravir/Abacavir/ Lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC)

Enzalutamide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Enzalutamide is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and is a strong inducer of CYP3A4. Enzalutamide can induce UGT1A1. Dolutegravir is metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir has no inducing effects on CYPs. Coadministration is expected to decrease dolutegravir concentrations, thus dolutegravir should be administered at 50 mg twice daily in the absence of integrase class resistance. In the presence of integrase class resistance this combination should be avoided. Enzalutamide has a long half-life (5.8 days), therefore dolutegravir dose should be kept at 50 mg twice daily for a minimum of 2 weeks (but preferably 4 weeks) following cessation of enzalutamide due to the persisting inducing effect upon discontinuation of a strong inducer. Enzalutamide induces UGTs and may decrease abacavir concentrations but to a limited extent and no dose adjustment is required. Enzalutamide does not interact with lamivudine.

Brentuximab vedotin

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a monoclonal antibody and monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a potent chemotherapeutic agent. The monoclonal antibody does not interact with dolutegravir as it undergoes elimination via intracellular catabolism. MMAE is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp but no interaction is expected as dolutegravir has no inhibitory or inducing effects on CYPs and brentuximab vedotin has no inhibitory or inducing effects on CYP3A4 or UGT1A1. Brentuximab vedotin does not interact with abacavir or lamivudine.

Tocilizumab

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. No effect on tocilizumab is expected as it is an IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody and likely undergoes elimination via binding to its target antigen. Dolutegravir is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1, with some contribution from CYP3A, abacavir is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and UGTs whereas lamivudine is eliminated renally. Dolutegravir has no inhibitory or inducing effects on drug metabolizing enzymes. Tocilizumab, per se, has no inhibitory or inducing effects on cytochromes. Tocilizumab will normalize cytochrome activity (via inhibition of IL-6) but no a priori dose adjustment is required.

Apalutamide

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Apalutamide is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 and is a strong inducer of CYP3A4. Apalutamide can induce UGT1A1. Dolutegravir is metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Dolutegravir has no inducing effects on CYPs. Coadministration is expected to decrease dolutegravir concentrations, thus dolutegravir should be administered at 50 mg twice daily in the absence of integrase class resistance. In the presence of integrase class resistance this combination should be avoided. Apalutamide has a long half-life (3 days), therefore the dolutegravir dose should be kept at 50 mg twice daily for a minimum of 2 weeks (but preferably 4 weeks) following cessation of enzalutamide due to the persisting inducing effect upon discontinuation of a strong inducer. No interaction is expected with abacavir and lamivudine.

Omega-3 fatty acids [in multivitamins]

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Omega-3 fatty acids are eliminated via oxidation similar to dietary fatty acids. No interaction is expected with abacavir or lamivudine. A pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely with dolutegravir and omega-3 fatty acids alone. However, omega-3 fatty acids administered in multivitamin preparations may decrease dolutegravir exposure. Simultaneous coadministration of a multivitamin preparation decreased dolutegravir exposure by ~33%. Triumeq and multivitamins can be taken together with food. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, multivitamins should be taken at least 2 hours after or 6 hours before Triumeq.

Description:

When taken with food, Triumeq and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium can be taken at the same time. If Triumeq is taken in a fasted state, such supplements should be taken a minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before the intake of Triumeq. Coadministration of multivitamins (containing calcium, iron and magnesium) and dolutegravir decreased dolutegravir AUC, Cmax and C24 by 33%, 35% and 32%, respectively. The stated reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed with the intake of dolutegravir and these supplements during fasted conditions. In fed state, the changes in exposure following intake together with calcium or iron supplements were modified by the food effect, resulting in an exposure similar to that obtained with dolutegravir administered in the fasted state.

Triumeq Summary of Product Characteristics, ViiV Healthcare, July 2021.

Coadministration may decrease dolutegravir concentrations. Coadministration of a multivitamin preparation (One-A-Day, single dose) and dolutegravir (50 mg, single dose) was studied in 16 subjects.

Cenobamate

Quality of Evidence: Very Low

Summary:

Coadministration has not been studied. Cenobamate is primarily glucuronidated by UGT2B7 and to a lesser extent by UGT2B4. CYP3A4 contributes to cenobamate metabolism but to a minor extent. Dolutegravir is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1, with some contribution from CYP3A. Dolutegravir has no inhibitory or inducing effects on drug metabolizing enzymes. Cenobamate is a dose-dependent inducer of CYP3A4 and was shown to reduce exposure of midazolam (a CYP3A4 substrate) by 72% at a dose of 200 mg daily and by 27% at a dose of 100 mg daily. Cenobamate is dose-titrated until the 200 mg maintenance dose is reached. Cenobamate at a daily dose of 200 mg or greater could potentially decrease dolutegravir concentrations. If coadministration with cenobamate at doses of 200 mg daily or greater is necessary, a dose adjustment of dolutegravir to 50 mg twice daily is recommended in the absence of integrase class resistance. This dose adjustment should be maintained for approximately 2 weeks after stopping cenobamate as the inducing effect may persist after discontinuation of a strong inducer. In the presence of integrase class resistance this combination should be avoided. Cenobamate inhibits OAT3 but this does not impact abacavir or lamivudine elimination.
