Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    SUNLENCA, in combination with other antiretroviral(s), is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug resistant HIV-1 whose current antiretroviral regimen is failing due to resistance, intolerance, or safety considerations.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Adherence to Treatment Regimen

    Prior to starting SUNLENCA, healthcare providers should carefully select patients who agree to the required every 6 month injection dosing schedule and counsel patients about the importance of adherence to scheduled SUNLENCA dosing visits and concomitant oral antiretroviral therapy to help maintain viral suppression and reduce the risk of viral rebound and potential development of resistance with missed doses [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Microbiology (12.4)].

    2.2 Recommended Dosage

    SUNLENCA can be initiated using one of the two recommended dosage regimens in Table 1 and Table 2 below. Maintenance dosing is administered by subcutaneous injection every 6 months regardless of the initiation regimen. Healthcare providers should determine the appropriate initiation regimen for the patient. SUNLENCA oral tablets may be taken with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    2.3 Recommended Dosing Schedule for Missed Dose

    Planned Missed Injections

    During the maintenance period, if a patient plans to miss a scheduled 6-month injection visit by more than 2 weeks, SUNLENCA tablets may be taken for up to 6 months until injections resume. Refer to Table 3 below for the recommended dosage after planned missed injections.

    Table 3 Recommended Dosage after Planned Missed Injections: Weekly Oral Maintenance
    Time since Last InjectionRecommendation
    26 to 28 weeksMaintenance oral dosage of 300 mg taken once every 7 days for up to 6 months.
    Resume the maintenance injection dosage within 7 days after the last oral dose.

    Unplanned Missed Injections

    Patients who miss a scheduled injection visit should be clinically reassessed, including consideration of lenacapavir resistance testing, to ensure resumption of therapy remains appropriate. During the maintenance period, if more than 28 weeks have elapsed since the last injection and SUNLENCA tablets have not been taken, see Table 4 below for the recommended dosage after unplanned missed injections. Adherence to the injection dosing schedule is strongly recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Microbiology (12.4)].

    Table 4 Recommended Dosage after Unplanned Missed Injections
    Time since Last InjectionRecommendation
    More than 28 weeksReinitiate with Option 1 (Table 1) or Option 2 (Table 2) and then continue with maintenance injection dosing.

    2.4 Preparation and Administration of Subcutaneous Injection

    SUNLENCA injection is only for subcutaneous administration into the abdomen by a healthcare provider. Do NOT administer intradermally due to risk of serious injection site reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

    Use aseptic technique. Visually inspect the solution in the vials and prepared syringe for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. SUNLENCA injection is a yellow solution. Do not use SUNLENCA injection if the solution is discolored or if it contains particulate matter. Once the solution is withdrawn from the vials, the subcutaneous injections should be administered as soon as possible [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16)].

    There are two available injection kits, which differ only in how SUNLENCA injection is prepared (the components and associated method for withdrawal of the solution from the vials) [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16)]. Refer to the figures below for the relevant injection kit.

    The injection kit components are for single use only. Two 1.5 mL injections are required for a complete dose.

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    SUNLENCA tablets: Each tablet contains 300 mg of lenacapavir (present as 306.8 mg of lenacapavir sodium). The tablets are beige, capsule-shaped, film-coated, and debossed with 'GSI' on one side of the tablet and '62L' on the other side of the tablet.

    SUNLENCA injection: Each single-dose vial contains 463.5 mg/1.5 mL (309 mg/mL) of lenacapavir (present as 473.1 mg/1.5 mL of lenacapavir sodium). The lenacapavir injectable solution is sterile, preservative-free, clear, and yellow with no visible particles.

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Concomitant administration of SUNLENCA with strong CYP3A inducers is contraindicated due to decreased lenacapavir plasma concentrations, which may result in the loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to SUNLENCA [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome

    Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune system responds may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections [such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), or tuberculosis], which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment.

    Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment.

    5.2 Long-Acting Properties and Potential Associated Risks with SUNLENCA

    Residual concentrations of lenacapavir may remain in the systemic circulation of patients for prolonged periods (up to 12 months or longer after the last subcutaneous dose). It is important to counsel patients that maintenance dosing by injection is required every 6 months, because missed doses or non-adherence to injections could lead to loss of virologic response and development of resistance [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

    Lenacapavir, a moderate CYP3A inhibitor, may increase the exposure to, and therefore potential risk of adverse reactions from, drugs primarily metabolized by CYP3A initiated within 9 months after the last subcutaneous dose of SUNLENCA [see Drug Interactions and Clinical Pharmacology (7.2, 12.3)].

    If SUNLENCA is discontinued, to minimize the potential risk of developing viral resistance, it is essential to initiate an alternative, fully suppressive antiretroviral regimen where possible no later than 28 weeks after the final injection of SUNLENCA. If virologic failure occurs during treatment, switch the patient to an alternative regimen if possible [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

    5.3 Injection Site Reactions

    Administration of SUNLENCA may result in local injection site reactions (ISRs). If clinically significant ISRs occur, evaluate and institute appropriate therapy and follow-up.

    Manifestations of ISRs may include swelling, pain, erythema, nodule, induration, pruritus, extravasation or mass. Nodules and indurations at the injection site may take longer to resolve than other ISRs. In clinical studies, after a median follow-up of 553 days, 30% of nodules and 13% of indurations (in 10% and 1% of participants, respectively) associated with the first injections of SUNLENCA had not fully resolved. Measurements and qualitative assessments of ISRs were not routinely reported. Where described, the majority of the injection site nodules and indurations were palpable but not visible, and had a maximum size of approximately 1 to 4 cm [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    The mechanism driving the persistence of injection site nodules and indurations in some patients is not fully understood, but based on available data, they may be related to the presence of the subcutaneous drug depot. In some patients who had a skin biopsy performed of an injection site nodule or induration, dermatopathology revealed foreign body inflammation or granulomatous response.

    Improper administration (intradermal injection) has been associated with serious injection site reactions, including necrosis and ulcer [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Ensure SUNLENCA is only administered subcutaneously in the abdomen [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling:

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    The primary safety assessment of SUNLENCA was based on data from heavily treatment-experienced adult participants with HIV who received SUNLENCA in a Phase 2/3 trial (CAPELLA; N=72) through Week 52 (median duration on study of 71 weeks) [see Clinical Studies (14)], as well as supportive data in treatment-naïve adult participants with HIV who received SUNLENCA in a Phase 2 trial (CALIBRATE; N=157) through Week 54 (median duration of exposure of 66 weeks).

    The most common adverse reactions (all Grades) reported in at least 3% of participants in CAPELLA were nausea and injection site reactions. The proportion of partcipants in CAPELLA who discontinued treatment with SUNLENCA due to adverse events, regardless of severity, was 1% (Grade 1 injection site nodule in 1 participant). Table 3 displays the frequency of adverse reactions (all Grades) greater than or equal to 3% in the SUNLENCA group.

    		•
    Injection Site Reactions65%
    Nausea4%

    The majority (96%) of all adverse reactions associated with SUNLENCA were mild or moderate in severity.

    Injection-Associated Adverse Reactions

    Local Injection Site Reactions (ISRs):

    The most frequent adverse reactions were ISRs. Of the 72 participants in CAPELLA, 65% had experienced an ISR attributed to study drug through at least the Week 52 visit. Most participants had mild (Grade 1, 44%) or moderate (Grade 2, 17%) ISRs. Four percent of participants experienced a severe (Grade 3) ISR (erythema, pain, swelling) that resolved within 15 days. The ISRs reported in more than 1% of participants were swelling (36%), pain (31%), erythema (31%), nodule (25%), induration (15%), pruritus (6%), extravasation (3%) and mass (3%). ISRs reported in 1% of participants included discomfort, hematoma, edema, and ulcer.

    Nodules and indurations at the injection site took longer to resolve than other ISRs. The median time to resolution of all ISRs, excluding nodules and indurations, was 5 days (range: 1 to 183). The median time to resolution of nodules and indurations associated with the first injections of SUNLENCA was 148 (range: 41 to 727) and 70 (range: 3 to 252) days, respectively. After a median follow up of 553 days, 30% of nodules and 13% of indurations (in 10% and 1% of participants, respectively) associated with the first injections of SUNLENCA had not fully resolved. Qualitative descriptions of injection site nodules and indurations were not routinely reported, but, where reported, the majority of injection site nodules and indurations were palpable but not visible. Measurements of injection site nodules and indurations were not routinely performed or standardized, but where measurements were reported, the maximum size for the majority of injection site nodules and indurations was approximately 1 to 4 cm [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

    Laboratory Abnormalities

    The frequency of laboratory abnormalities (Grades 3 to 4) occurring in at least 2% of participants in CAPELLA are presented in Table 4. A causal association between SUNLENCA and these laboratory abnormalities has not been established.

    6.2 Postmarketing Experience

    In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing use. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

    General disorders and administration site conditions

    Injection site necrosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on SUNLENCA

    Lenacapavir is a substrate of P-gp, UGT1A1, and CYP3A.

    Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers

    Drugs that are strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A may significantly decrease plasma concentrations of lenacapavir [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may result in loss of therapeutic effect of SUNLENCA and development of resistance. Concomitant administration of SUNLENCA with strong CYP3A inducers during SUNLENCA treatment is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. Concomitant administration of SUNLENCA with moderate CYP3A inducers during SUNLENCA treatment is not recommended.

    Combined P-gp, UGT1A1, and Strong CYP3A Inhibitors

    Combined P-gp, UGT1A1, and strong CYP3A inhibitors may significantly increase plasma concentrations of SUNLENCA. Concomitant administration of SUNLENCA with these inhibitors is not recommended.

    7.2 Effect of SUNLENCA on Other Drugs

    Lenacapavir is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A. Due to the long half-life of lenacapavir following subcutaneous administration, SUNLENCA may increase the exposure of drugs primarily metabolized by CYP3A [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] initiated within 9 months after the last subcutaneous dose of SUNLENCA, which may increase the potential risk of adverse reactions. See the prescribing information of the sensitive CYP3A substrate for dosing recommendations with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A.

    7.3 Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions

    Table 5 provides a listing of clinically significant drug interactions with recommended prevention or management strategies, but is not all inclusive. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with SUNLENCA or are drug interactions that may occur with SUNLENCA [see Contraindications (4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Pregnancy Exposure Registry

    There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to SUNLENCA during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263.

    Risk Summary

    There are insufficient human data on the use of SUNLENCA during pregnancy to inform a drug-associated risk of birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when lenacapavir was administered to rats and rabbits at exposures (AUC) ≥16 times the exposure in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) of SUNLENCA (see Data).

    The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. The background rate of major birth defects in a U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) is 2.7%. The rate of miscarriage is not reported in the APR. The estimated background rate of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15 to 20%.

    Data

    Animal Data

    Lenacapavir was administered intravenously to pregnant rabbits (up to 20 mg/kg/day on gestation days (GD) 7 to 19), orally to rats (up to 300 mg/kg/day on GD 6 to 17), and subcutaneously to rats (up to 300 mg/kg on GD 6). No significant toxicological effects on embryo-fetal (rats and rabbits) or pre/postnatal (rats) development were observed at exposures (AUC) approximately 16 times (rats) and 39 times (rabbits) the exposure in humans at the RHD of SUNLENCA.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    It is not known whether SUNLENCA is present in human breast milk, affects human milk production, or has effects on the breastfed infant. After administration to pregnant rats, lenacapavir was detected in the plasma of nursing rat pups, without effects on these nursing pups (see Data).

    Potential risks of breastfeeding include: (1) HIV-1 transmission (in infants without HIV-1), (2) developing viral resistance (in infants with HIV-1), and (3) adverse reactions in a breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults.

    Data

    Lenacapavir was detected at low levels in the plasma of nursing rat pups in the pre/postnatal development study (post-natal day 10).

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of SUNLENCA have not been established in pediatric patients.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies of SUNLENCA did not include sufficient numbers of participants aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

    8.6 Renal Impairment

    No dosage adjustment of SUNLENCA is recommended in patients with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 15 mL per minute). SUNLENCA has not been studied in patients with ESRD (estimated creatinine clearance less than 15 mL per minute) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    8.7 Hepatic Impairment

    No dosage adjustment of SUNLENCA is recommended in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. SUNLENCA has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    No data are available on overdose of SUNLENCA in patients. If overdose occurs, monitor the patient for evidence of toxicity. Treatment of overdose with SUNLENCA consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient. As lenacapavir is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely to be significantly removed by dialysis.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    SUNLENCA tablets and SUNLENCA injection contain lenacapavir sodium, a capsid inhibitor.

    The chemical name of lenacapavir sodium is: Sodium (4-chloro-7-(2-((S)-1-(2-((3bS,4aR)-5,5-difluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3b,4,4a,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyrazol-1-yl)acetamido)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)-6-(3-methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)but-1-yn-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl)(methylsulfonyl)amide.

    Lenacapavir sodium has a molecular formula of C39H31ClF10N7NaO5S2, a molecular weight of 990.3, and the following structural formula:

    Chemical Structure

    Lenacapavir sodium is a light yellow to yellow solid and is practically insoluble in water.

    SUNLENCA tablets are for oral administration. Each film-coated tablet contains 300 mg of lenacapavir (present as 306.8 mg lenacapavir sodium) and the following inactive ingredients: copovidone, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and poloxamer 407. The tablets are film-coated with a coating material containing iron oxide black, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

    SUNLENCA injection is for subcutaneous administration. Each single-dose vial contains 463.5 mg/1.5 mL (309 mg/mL) of lenacapavir (present as 473.1 mg/1.5 mL of lenacapavir sodium) as a sterile, preservative-free, clear, yellow solution and the following inactive ingredients: 896.3 mg of polyethylene glycol 300 (as solvent) and water for injection. The apparent pH range of the injection is 9.0–10.2.

    The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    SUNLENCA is an HIV-1 antiretroviral agent [see Microbiology (12.4)].

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Exposure-Response

    In CAPELLA, oral loading doses (600 mg on Day 1 and Day 2, 300 mg on Day 8) followed by subcutaneous doses (927 mg every 6 months starting on Day 15) of SUNLENCA in heavily treatment-experienced participants with multiclass resistant HIV-1, efficacy outcomes (change in plasma HIV-1 RNA from Day 1 to Day 14, and percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL at Week 26) were similar across the range of observed lenacapavir exposures.

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    At supratherapeutic exposures of lenacapavir (9-fold higher than the therapeutic exposures of SUNLENCA), SUNLENCA does not prolong the QTcF interval to any clinically relevant extent.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of lenacapavir are provided in Table 6 and Table 7. The estimated lenacapavir exposures are comparable between the two recommended dosing regimens.

    Lenacapavir exposures after subcutaneous administration were similar between heavily treatment experienced participants with HIV-1 and participants without HIV-1 based on population pharmacokinetics analysis. Lenacapavir exposures (AUCtau, Cmax and Ctrough) after oral administration were 28% to 43% higher in participants with HIV-1 who were heavily treatment experienced, compared to participants without HIV-1 based on population PK analysis. These differences were not considered clinically relevant.

    Specific Populations

    There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of lenacapavir based on age (18 to 78 years), sex, ethnicity (hispanic or non-hispanic), race (white, black, asian or other), body weight (41.4 to 164 kg), severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 15 to less than 30 mL per minute, estimated by Cockroft-Gault method), or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). The effect of end-stage renal disease (including dialysis), or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C), on the pharmacokinetics of lenacapavir is unknown. As lenacapavir is greater than 98.5% protein bound, dialysis is not expected to alter exposures of lenacapavir [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

    Drug Interaction Studies

    Clinical Studies

    Clinical drug-drug interaction study indicated that lenacapavir is a substrate of CYP3A, P-gp, and UGT1A1. Table 8 summarizes the pharmacokinetic effects of other drugs on lenacapavir.

    Lenacapavir is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A. Lenacapavir is an inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP but does not inhibit OATP. Table 9 summarizes the pharmacokinetic effects of lenacapavir on other drugs.

    12.4 Microbiology

    Mechanism of Action

    Lenacapavir is a multistage, selective inhibitor of HIV-1 capsid function that directly binds to the interface between capsid protein (p24) subunits in hexamers. Surface plasmon resonance sensorgrams showed dose-dependent and saturable binding of lenacapavir to cross-linked wild-type capsid hexamer with an equilibrium binding constant (KD) of 1.4 nM. Lenacapavir inhibits HIV-1 replication by interfering with multiple essential steps of the viral lifecycle, including capsid-mediated nuclear uptake of HIV-1 proviral DNA (by blocking nuclear import proteins binding to capsid), virus assembly and release (by interfering with Gag/Gag-Pol functioning, reducing production of capsid protein subunits), and capsid core formation (by disrupting the rate of capsid subunit association, leading to malformed capsids).

    Antiviral Activity in Cell Culture

    Lenacapavir has antiviral activity that is specific to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 and HIV-2). The antiviral activity of lenacapavir against laboratory and clinical isolates of HIV-1 was assessed in T-lymphoblastoid cell lines, PBMCs, primary monocyte/macrophage cells, and CD4+ T-lymphocytes with EC50 values ranging from 30 to 190 pM. Lenacapavir displayed antiviral activity in cell culture against all HIV-1 groups (M, N, O), including subtypes A, A1, AE, AG, B, BF, C, D, E, F, G with EC50 values ranging from 20 and 160 pM. The median EC50 value for subtype B isolates (n=8) was 40 pM. Lenacapavir was 15- to 25-fold less active against HIV-2 isolates relative to HIV-1.

    In a study of lenacapavir in combination with representatives from the major classes of anti-retroviral agents (INSTIs, NNRTIs, NRTIs, and PIs), no antagonism of antiviral activity was observed.

    Resistance

    In Cell Culture

    HIV-1 variants with reduced susceptibility to lenacapavir have been selected in cell culture. Resistance selections with lenacapavir identified 7 substitutions in capsid: L56I, M66I, Q67H, K70N, N74D/S, and T107N singly or in dual combination that conferred 4- to >3,226-fold reduced phenotypic susceptibility to lenacapavir relative to wild-type (WT) virus. The M66I substitution alone or in combination conferred >3,226-fold decreased susceptibility to lenacapavir in a single-cycle infectivity assay; substitutions Q67H and T107N, conferred 4- to 6.3-fold decreased susceptibility; K70N, N74D and Q67H/N74S conferred 22- to 32-fold decreased susceptibility; and L56I conferred 239-fold decreased susceptibility.

    In Clinical Trials

    In CAPELLA, 31% (22/72) of heavily treatment-experienced participants met the criteria for resistance analyses through Week 52 (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL at confirmed virologic failure [suboptimal virologic response at Week 4, virologic rebound, or viremia at last visit]) and were analyzed for lenacapavir resistance-associated substitution emergence. Lenacapavir resistance-associated capsid substitutions were found in 41% (n=9) of participants with confirmed virologic failure who had post-baseline capsid genotypic resistance data (n=22). The M66I capsid substitution was observed in 27% (6/22) of participants, alone or in combination with other lenacapavir resistance-associated capsid substitutions including Q67Q/H, Q67Q/H/K/N, K70K/R, K70N/S, N74D, N74N/H, A105T, and T107A. The other 3 participants with virologic failure had emergent lenacapavir resistance-associated capsid substitutions Q67K+K70H, Q67H+K70R+T107S, and Q67Q/H.

    Phenotypic analyses of the confirmed virologic failure isolates with emergent lenacapavir resistance-associated substitutions showed 6- to >1428-fold decreases in lenacapavir susceptibility when compared to WT.

    Among the 9 participants with virologic failure who developed lenacapavir resistance-associated substitutions in capsid, 4 received SUNLENCA in combination with a background regimen with no fully active antiretrovirals based on the baseline genotypic and/or phenotypic resistance. Therefore, given the risk of developing resistance in situations of functional monotherapy, careful consideration should be given to having active drugs in addition to SUNLENCA in the treatment regimen.

    Four participants with virologic failure had emergent resistance substitutions to components of the optimized background regimen (OBR): emergent NRTI substitution M184I/V and NNRTI substitution K103N/Y with emtricitabine and doravirine plus atazanavir, bictegravir, and tenofovir alafenamide in OBR; emergent NNRTI substitution V106M from a mixture at baseline (in addition to lenacapavir resistance-associated substitutions M66I + T107A) with doravirine plus emtricitabine and ibalizumab in OBR; emergent NRTI substitutions K65R and S68N from mixtures at baseline (in addition to lenacapavir resistance-associated substitution M66I) with tenofovir alafenamide, plus emtricitabine, dolutegravir, darunavir/cobicistat, and rilpivirine in OBR; and emergent NRTI substitution K65K/R with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus darunavir/cobicistat, dolutegravir, and emtricitabine in OBR.

    Oral Maintenance for Missed Injections

    Of the 57 participants who received oral maintenance, 9 participants (5 participants in Cohort 1 and 4 participants in Cohort 2) met the criteria for resistance analysis. Six of these 9 participants had emergent lenacapavir resistance substitutions in capsid (Q67H [n=4], K70R or N [n=2], N74D or K [n=2], T107N [n=1]) with 4.5- to 393-fold decreased lenacapavir susceptibility. In addition, 2 participants had emergent resistance substitutions to darunavir in their optimized background regimen.

    Lenacapavir Resistance with Suboptimal Adherence to Other Antiretroviral Drugs in the Regimen

    The development of lenacapavir-associated capsid resistance substitutions in 6 participants during the oral maintenance period was likely due to suboptimal adherence to the optimized background oral regimens that included dolutegravir and/or darunavir. After developing lenacapavir resistance, 5 of the 6 participants achieved HIV-1 RNA resuppression (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) while maintaining SUNLENCA treatment. With the emergence of lenacapavir resistance substitutions and decreased susceptibility to lenacapavir, it is unclear how much antiviral activity lenacapavir is contributing to the resuppression of HIV-1 RNA in these 5 participants.

    Thus, adherence to other antiretroviral drugs in the regimen should be optimized while the patient is receiving SUNLENCA. During SUNLENCA treatment, if suboptimal adherence to the oral antiretroviral regimen occurs with concurrent HIV-1 RNA viral load increases (i.e., virologic failure), lenacapavir resistance should be assessed, and if detected, consideration should be given to discontinuing SUNLENCA treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

    Cross-Resistance

    The antiviral activity in cell culture of lenacapavir was determined against a broad spectrum of HIV-1 site-directed mutants and patient-derived HIV-1 isolates with resistance to the four main classes of anti-retroviral agents (INSTI, NNRTI, NRTI, and PI; n=58), as well as to viruses resistant to the gp120-directed attachment inhibitor fostemsavir, the CD4+-directed post-attachment inhibitor ibalizumab, the CCR5 co-receptor antagonist maraviroc, and the gp41 fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide (n=42). These data indicated that lenacapavir remained fully active against all variants tested, thereby demonstrating a non-overlapping resistance profile. In addition, the antiviral activity of lenacapavir in patient isolates was unaffected by the presence of naturally occurring Gag polymorphisms and substitutions at protease cleavage sites.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis

    Lenacapavir was not carcinogenic in a 6-month rasH2 transgenic mouse study in males or females at doses of up to 300 mg/kg/dose once every 13 weeks.

    A 104-week carcinogenicity study was conducted in male and female rats at lenacapavir doses of 0, 102, 309, or 927 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection once every 13-weeks. A treatment-related increase in the incidence of malignant sarcoma at the injection site was observed in males and a treatment-related increase in combined benign fibroma and malignant fibrosarcoma at the injection site was observed in females, at the highest dose (927 mg/kg). This dose in rats resulted in an exposure approximately 34-times the human exposure at the RHD, based on AUC. These tumors are considered to be a secondary response to chronic tissue irritation and granulomatous inflammation, due to the depot effect of lenacapavir following subcutaneous injection. The clinical relevance of these findings are unknown.

    Mutagenesis

    Lenacapavir was not mutagenic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays, including microbial mutagenesis, chromosome aberration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and in in vivo rat micronucleus assays.

    Impairment of Fertility

    There were no effects on fertility, mating performance or early embryonic development when lenacapavir was administered to rats at systemic exposures (AUC) 5 times the exposure to humans at the RHD of SUNLENCA.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy and safety of SUNLENCA in heavily treatment-experienced participants with multidrug resistant HIV-1 is based on 52-week data from CAPELLA, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter trial (NCT 04150068).

    CAPELLA was conducted in 72 heavily treatment-experienced participants with multiclass resistant HIV-1. Participants were required to have a viral load ≥ 400 copies/mL, documented resistance to at least two antiretroviral medications from each of at least 3 of the 4 classes of antiretroviral medications (NRTI, NNRTI, PI and INSTI), and ≤ 2 fully active antiretroviral medications from the 4 classes of antiretroviral medications remaining at baseline due to resistance, intolerability, drug access, contraindication, or other safety concerns.

    The trial was composed of two cohorts. Participants were enrolled into the randomized cohort (cohort 1, N=36) if they had a < 0.5 log10 HIV-1 RNA decline compared to the screening visit. Participants were enrolled into the non-randomized cohort (cohort 2, N=36) if they had a ≥ 0.5 log10 HIV-1 RNA decline compared to the screening visit or after cohort 1 reached its planned sample size.

    In the 14-day functional monotherapy period, participants in cohort 1 were randomized in a 2:1 ratio in a blinded fashion to receive either SUNLENCA or placebo, while continuing their failing regimen. This period was to establish the virologic activity of SUNLENCA. After the functional monotherapy period, participants who had received SUNLENCA continued on SUNLENCA along with an optimized background regimen (OBR); participants who had received placebo during this period initiated SUNLENCA along with an OBR.

    Participants in cohort 1 had a mean age of 52 years (range: 24 to 71), 72% were male, 46% were White, 46% were Black, and 9% were Asian. 29% percent of participants identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.3 log10 copies/mL (range: 2.3 to 5.4). 19% of participants had baseline viral loads greater than 100,000 copies/mL. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 161 cells/mm3 (range: 6 to 827). 75% of participants had CD4+ cell counts below 200 cells/mm3. The mean number of years since participants first started HIV treatment was 24 years (range: 7 to 33); the mean number of antiretroviral agents in failing regimens at baseline was 4 (range: 1 to 7). The percentage of participants in the randomized cohort with known resistance to at least 2 agents from the NRTI, NNRTI, PI and INSTI classes was 97%, 94%, 78% and 75%, respectively. In cohort 1, 53% of participants had no fully active agents, 31% had 1 fully active agent, and 17% had 2 or more fully active agents within their initial failing regimen, including 6% of participants were who were receiving fostemsavir, which was an investigational agent at the start of the CAPELLA trial.

    Participants in cohort 2 initiated SUNLENCA and an OBR on Day 1.

    Participants in cohort 2 had a mean age of 48 years (range: 23 to 78), 78% were male, 36% were White, 31% were Black, 33% were Asian, and 14% of participants identified as Hispanic/Latino. The mean baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.1 log10 copies/mL (range: 1.3 to 5.7). 19% of participants had baseline viral loads greater than 100,000 copies/mL. The mean baseline CD4+ cell count was 258 cells/mm3 (range: 3 to 1296). 53% of participants had CD4+ cell counts below 200 cells/mm3. The mean number of years since participants first started HIV treatment was 19 years (range: 3 to 35); the mean number of antiretroviral agents in failing regimens at baseline was 4 (range: 2 to 7). The percentage of participants in the non-randomized cohort with known resistance to at least 2 agents from the NRTI, NNRTI, PI and INSTI classes was 100%, 100%, 83% and 64%, respectively. In cohort 2, 31% of participants had no fully active agents, 42% had 1 fully active agent, and 28% had 2 or more fully active agents within their initial failing regimen, including 6% of participants who were receiving fostemsavir, which was an investigational agent at the start of the CAPELLA trial.

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of participants in cohort 1 achieving ≥ 0.5 log10 copies/mL reduction from baseline in HIV-1 RNA at the end of the functional monotherapy period. The results of the primary endpoint analysis are shown in Table 10.

    In cohort 1, at Weeks 26 and 52, the mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count was 81 cells/mm3 (range: -101 to 522) and 82 cells/mm3 (range: -194 to 467), respectively.

    In cohort 2, at Weeks 26 and 52, 81% (29/36) and 72% (26/36) of participants achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL, respectively, and the mean change from baseline in CD4+ cell count was 97 cells/mm3 (range: -103 to 459) and 113 cells/mm3 (range: -124 to 405), respectively.

    Oral bridging

    In CAPELLA across cohorts 1 and 2, 79% of participants (57/72) received SUNLENCA 300 mg once every 7 days as oral bridging. A total of 13, 29, and 15 participants started oral bridging following Weeks 26, 52, and 78 injections, respectively. The median (Q1, Q3) duration of oral bridging was 19 weeks (11, 22), and 12% (7/57) received oral bridging for at least 28 weeks.

    In a post-hoc analysis, rates of virologic suppression and change from baseline in CD4+ cell counts in the subset of patients who received oral bridging were consistent before and during the oral bridging period.

  • 17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

    Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information).

    Drug Interactions

    SUNLENCA may interact with certain drugs; therefore, advise patients to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other prescription or non-prescription medication or herbal products, including St. John's wort, during treatment with SUNLENCA [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7)].

    If SUNLENCA is discontinued, advise patients that SUNLENCA may remain in the body and affect certain other drugs for up to 9 months after receiving their last injection [see Drug Interactions (7.2, 7.3)].

    Immune Reconstitution Syndrome

    Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection, as in some patients with advanced HIV (AIDS), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

    Adherence to SUNLENCA

    Counsel patients about the importance of continued medication adherence and scheduled visits to maintain viral suppression and to reduce risk of loss of virologic response and development of resistance. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they stop taking SUNLENCA or any other drug in their antiretroviral regimen [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

    Missed Dose

    Inform patients that SUNLENCA can remain in the body for up to 12 months or longer after receiving their last injection. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider if they miss or plan to miss a scheduled injection visit and that oral SUNLENCA therapy may be used for up to 6 months to replace missed injections. Advise patients that oral dosing should be used on an interim basis only and that the maintenance injection dosage should be resumed at the earliest possible opportunity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

    Injection Site Reactions

    Inform patients that injection site reactions (ISRs), such as swelling, pain, erythema, nodule, induration, pruritus, extravasation or mass, may occur. Nodules and indurations at the injection site may take longer to resolve than other ISRs and may be persistent. Instruct patients when to contact their healthcare provider about these reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

    Pregnancy Registry

    Inform patients that there is an antiretroviral pregnancy registry to monitor fetal outcomes of pregnant individuals exposed to SUNLENCA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

    Lactation

    Inform individuals with HIV-1 that the potential risks of breastfeeding include: (1) HIV-1 transmission (in infants without HIV-1), (2) developing viral resistance (in infants with HIV), and (3) adverse reactions in a breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

    What is SUNLENCA?
    SUNLENCA is a prescription medicine that is used with other human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) medicines to treat HIV-1 infection in adults:
    • who have received HIV-1 medicines in the past, and
    • who have HIV-1 virus that is resistant to many HIV-1 medicines, and
    • whose current HIV-1 medicines are failing. Your HIV-1 medicines may be failing because the HIV-1 medicines are not working or no longer work, you are not able to tolerate the side effects, or there are safety reasons why you cannot take them.
    HIV-1 is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
    It is not known if SUNLENCA is safe and effective in children.
    Do not receive or take SUNLENCA if you also take certain other medicines called strong CYP3A inducers. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.
    Before receiving or taking SUNLENCA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
    • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if SUNLENCA can harm your unborn baby. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during treatment with SUNLENCA.
      Pregnancy Registry: There is a pregnancy registry for women who take SUNLENCA during pregnancy. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider about how you can take part in this registry.
    • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known whether SUNLENCA will pass to your baby in your breast milk. Talk with your healthcare provider about the following risks to your baby from breastfeeding during treatment with SUNLENCA:
      • The HIV-1 virus may pass to your baby if your baby does not have HIV-1.
      • The HIV-1 virus may become harder to treat if your baby has HIV-1.
      • Your baby may get side effects from SUNLENCA.
    Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements, including St. John's wort. Some medicines may interact with SUNLENCA. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
    • You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with SUNLENCA.
    • Do not start a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take SUNLENCA with other medicines.
    • SUNLENCA may affect certain other medicines for up to 9 months after your last injection.
    How should I receive and take SUNLENCA?
    • Your SUNLENCA treatment will consist of injections and tablets.
      • SUNLENCA injections will be given to you by your healthcare provider under the skin (subcutaneous injection) in your stomach-area (abdomen).
      • Take SUNLENCA tablets by mouth, with or without food.
    • There are two options (Option 1 and Option 2) to start treatment with SUNLENCA. Your healthcare provider will decide which starting option is for you.
      • If Option 1 is chosen:
        • On Day 1, you will receive 2 SUNLENCA injections and take 2 SUNLENCA tablets.
        • On Day 2, you will take 2 SUNLENCA tablets.
      • If Option 2 is chosen:
        • On Day 1 and Day 2, you will take 2 SUNLENCA tablets each day.
        • On Day 8, you will take 1 SUNLENCA tablet.
        • On Day 15, you will receive 2 SUNLENCA injections.
    • After completing Option 1 or Option 2, you will receive 2 SUNLENCA injections every 6 months (26 weeks) from the date of your last injection.
    • Stay under the care of a healthcare provider during treatment with SUNLENCA. It is important that you attend your planned appointments to receive your injections of SUNLENCA.
    • If you miss or plan to miss your scheduled every 6 months injection of SUNLENCA, call your healthcare provider right away to discuss your treatment options.
      • If you plan to miss a scheduled SUNLENCA injection, there is the option to temporarily take SUNLENCA tablets. You will take 1 SUNLENCA tablet by mouth 1 time every 7 days, until your injections resume.
      • It is important to continue SUNLENCA treatment as your healthcare provider tells you. Missing SUNLENCA treatment may cause the HIV-1 virus to change (mutate) and become harder to treat (resistant).
    • Tell your healthcare provider right away if you stop treatment with SUNLENCA or stop treatment with any other HIV-1 medicines. If you stop treatment with SUNLENCA you will need other medicines to treat your HIV-1 infection. If you do not take other HIV-1 medicines, the amount of virus in your blood may increase and the virus may become harder to treat. Call your healthcare provider right away to discuss your treatment options.
    • If you take too many SUNLENCA tablets, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
    What are the possible side effects of SUNLENCA?
    SUNLENCA may cause serious side effects, including:
    • Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having any new symptoms after starting your HIV-1 medicine.
    • Injection site reactions may happen when you receive SUNLENCA injections and may include swelling, pain, redness, skin hardening, small mass or lump, and itching. Hardened skin or lumps at the injection site usually can be felt but not seen. If you develop hardened skin or a lump, it may take longer than other reactions at the injection site to go away, and the injection site may not completely heal on its own. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any injection site reactions.
    The most common side effects of SUNLENCA are nausea and injection site reactions.
    These are not all of the possible side effects of SUNLENCA.
    Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
    How should I store SUNLENCA tablets?
    • Store SUNLENCA tablets at room temperature between 68 °F to 77 °F (20 °C to 25 °C).
    • SUNLENCA bottle contains a desiccant packet to help keep your medicine dry (protect it from moisture). Keep the desiccant packet in the bottle. Do not eat the desiccant packet.
    • Keep SUNLENCA tablets in their original bottle or blister pack.
    • Keep the bottle tightly closed.
    Keep SUNLENCA and all medicines out of reach of children.
    General information about the safe and effective use of SUNLENCA.
    Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in a Patient Information leaflet. Do not use SUNLENCA for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give SUNLENCA to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have. It may harm them. You can ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider for information about SUNLENCA that is written for health professionals.
