Dosage of maraviroc is based on different concomitant drugs.

The recommended dosage of maraviroc in pediatric patients is based on weight and should not exceed the recommended adult dosage. The recommended dosage also differs based on concomitant medications.

There are insufficient data to recommend use of maraviroc in pediatric patients receiving potent and moderate CYP3A inducers (without a potent CYP3A inhibitor) including efavirenz, etravirine, rifampin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin.

Maraviroc is available as oral tablets and an oral solution. Administer maraviroc orally twice daily without regard to food. Administer maraviroc in combination with other antiretroviral agents.

Swallow maraviroc tablets whole; do not chew. Assess children for the ability to swallow tablets; use the oral solution instead of tablets in those unable to reliably swallow tablets. Administer maraviroc oral solution containing 100 mg/5 mL using the press-in bottle adapter and appropriate oral dosing syringe supplied by the manufacturer; use the 3-mL oral syringe for doses <=2.5

mL and the 10-mL oral syringe for doses >2.5 mL. Exercise care when measuring neonate doses due to the small volumes of oral solution required.

Consult the manufacturer's instructions for more specific information regarding administration of the oral solution. Store maraviroc tablets and oral solution at 20-25oC (excursions permitted to 15-30oC). Discard any unused oral solution 60 days after first opening the bottle.

Selected Sensitive CYP3A4 Substrates/Oral Lefamulin SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Lefamulin is considered a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4. FDA defines a moderate inhibitor as a drug which increases the area-under-curve (AUC) of a sensitive substrate by 2- to 5-fold.(1,4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of oral lefamulin may lead to increased serum levels and adverse effects of drugs sensitive to inhibition of the CYP3A4 pathway.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: With darifenacin, the risk of anticholinergic toxicities including cognitive decline, delirium, falls and fractures is increased in geriatric patients using more than one medicine with anticholinergic properties.(5) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If oral lefamulin must be coadministered with a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate, it is recommended to closely monitor for adverse effects of the CYP3A4 substrate.(1) Drug-specific recommendations: The manufacturer of abemaciclib recommends monitoring for adverse reactions and considering a dose reduction of abemaciclib in 50 mg decrements as detailed in prescribing information (based on starting dose, previous dose reductions, and combination or monotherapy use) with concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(2) The US manufacturer of sirolimus protein-bound injection (Fyarro) states a dose reduction to 56 mg/m2 is recommended when used concurrently with moderate or weak CYP3A4 inhibitors. Concurrent use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(3) DISCUSSION: In a study, oral lefamulin tablets administered concomitantly with and at 2 or 4 hours before oral midazolam (a CYP3A4 substrate) increased the area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of midazolam by 200% and 100%, respectively. No clinically significant effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics was observed when co-administered with lefamulin injection.(1) Sensitive CYP3A4 substrates linked to this monograph include: abemaciclib, acalabrutinib, alfentanil, alprazolam, atorvastatin, brotizolam, budesonide, buspirone, cobimetinib, darifenacin, ebastine, eletriptan, elvitegravir, everolimus, lovastatin, lurasidone, maraviroc, midazolam, nisoldipine, paritaprevir, sildenafil, simvastatin, sirolimus, ticagrelor, triazolam, and ulipristal.(1,4,6)	XENLETA
Sodium Iodide I 131/Myelosuppressives; Immunomodulators SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Sodium iodide I 131 can cause depression of the hematopoetic system. Myelosuppressives and immunomodulators also suppress the immune system.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of sodium iodide I 131 with agents that cause bone marrow depression, including myelosuppressives or immunomodulators, may result in an enhanced risk of hematologic disorders, including anemia, blood dyscrasias, bone marrow depression, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow depression may increase the risk of serious infections and bleeding.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of sodium iodide I 131 states that concurrent use with bone marrow depressants may enhance the depression of the hematopoetic system caused by large doses of sodium iodide I 131.(1) Sodium iodide I 131 causes a dose-dependent bone marrow suppression, including neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, in the 3 to 5 weeks following administration. Patients may be at increased risk of infections or bleeding during this time. Monitor complete blood counts within one month of therapy. If results indicate leukopenia or thrombocytopenia, dosimetry should be used to determine a safe sodium iodide I 131 activity.(1) DISCUSSION: Hematologic disorders including death have been reported with sodium iodide I 131. The most common hematologic disorders reported include anemia, blood dyscrasias, bone marrow depression, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.(1)	HICON, SODIUM IODIDE I-131

CLINICAL EFFECTS: Use of antiretrovirals before mobilization and apheresis may interfere with the production of atidarsagene autotemcel. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Discontinue antiretrovirals for at least one month prior to mobilization (or the expected duration of time needed for elimination of the medication) until all cycles of apheresis are completed. If a patient requires antiretrovirals for HIV prophylaxis, then confirm a negative HIV test before beginning mobilization and apheresis of CD34+ cells. DISCUSSION: Antiretroviral medications may interfere with the manufacturing of atidarsagene autotemcel therapy.(1)	LENMELDY

Maraviroc/Tecovirimat SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Tecovirimat may induce the metabolism of maraviroc by CYP34.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of CYP3A4 inducers in the absence of an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and without a dosage adjustment of maraviroc may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of maraviroc.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: This interaction may be more severe in patients with renal impairment.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of maraviroc with tecovirimat should be approached with caution. In adults, consider increasing maraviroc to 600 mg twice daily when coadministered with tecovirimat in the absence of a protease inhibitor or other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. When coadministered with tecovirimat in presence of a protease inhibitor or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, consider decreasing maraviroc to 150 mg twice daily. These dose adjustments should be considered during and for approximately 2 weeks after the end of tecovirimat treatment.(1-4) In adults, maraviroc should not be used with a strong CYP3A4 inducer in patients with a creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min or end-stage renal disease.(1) In children aged 2 years and older weighing at least 10 kg, patients receiving therapy with strong CYP3A4 inducers who are not also receiving an inhibitor of CYP3A4 is not recommended.(1) In children aged 2 years and older weighing at least 10 kg, patients receiving therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inducer and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor should receive the following maraviroc dose based on tablet or oral solution (20 mg/ml): - 10 - <20 kg: 50 mg twice daily or 50 mg (2.5ml) twice daily - 20 - <30 kg: 75 mg twice daily or 80 mg (4 ml) twice daily - 30 - <40 kg: 100 mg twice daily or 100 mg (5 ml) twice daily - >= 40 kg: 150 mg twice daily or 150 mg (7.5 ml) twice daily In pediatric patients aged 2 years and older weighing at least 10 kg, no dose recommendations are available with mild to moderate renal impairment. Maraviroc is contraindicated in pediatric patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease who are on concurrent therapy with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study in 12 subjects, concurrent efavirenz (600 mg daily) decreased the minimum concentration (Cmin), area-under-curve (AUC), and maximum concentration (Cmax) of maraviroc (100 mg twice daily) by 45%, 44.8%, and 51.4%, respectively.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, concurrent efavirenz (600 mg daily) increased the Cmin, AUC, and Cmax of maraviroc (200 mg twice daily) by 9%, 15%, and 16%, respectively, when compared to the administration of maraviroc (100 mg twice daily) alone.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, concurrent rifampin (600 mg daily) decreased the Cmin, AUC, and Cmax of maraviroc (100 mg twice daily) by 78%, 63%, and 66%, respectively.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, concurrent rifampin (600 mg daily) decreased the Cmin and Cmax of maraviroc (200 mg twice daily) by 34% and 4%, respectively, when compared to the administration of maraviroc (100 mg twice daily) alone.

The safety and efficacy of maraviroc have been established in pediatric patients from birth to <18 years of age. The use of maraviroc in pediatric patients was supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients and by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients. A multicenter clinical trial evaluated the safety, antiviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1-infected pediatric patients 2 to <18 years of age weighing >=10 kg.

The pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in those receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors (with or without a potent CYP3A inducer) were similar to those observed in adults. There are limited clinical pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients 2 to <18 years of age receiving noninteracting concomitant drugs. Based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation, the recommended dosing regimen of maraviroc for this population is predicted to result in similar maraviroc exposures as seen in adults receiving maraviroc 300 mg twice daily with noninteracting concomitant drugs.

No clinical trials or pharmacokinetic data are available in children 6 weeks to <2 years of age. Maraviroc dosing recommendations in these patients when they are concomitantly receiving noninteracting drugs are solely based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation. A clinical trial evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in HIV-1-exposed neonates (born to HIV-1 infected mothers) who weighed >=2 kg at birth; ages ranged from birth to 6 weeks.

Pharmacokinetic parameters were similar to those in adults. Exposure to maternal efavirenz in utero (for >=2 weeks immediately prior to delivery) did not have a meaningful impact on maraviroc pharmacokinetics. There are insufficient data to make dosage recommendations for the use of maraviroc in pediatric patients weighing <10 kg and concomitantly receiving drugs that are CYP3A inhibitors, or in any pediatric patient receiving a potent CYP3A inducer (efavirenz, etravirine, rifampin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin) without a potent CYP3A inhibitor. Maraviroc is not recommended in pre-term neonates or in pediatric patients weighing <2 kg.

The Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to maraviroc during pregnancy. Clinicians are encouraged to register patients in the APR by calling 800-258-4263 or visiting https://www.apregistry.com/.

There are limited data on the use of maraviroc in pregnant women. In animal studies, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed in rats or rabbits with maraviroc systemic exposures that were approximately 20 or 5 times higher, respectively, than systemic exposures in humans at recommended dosages. In a study in 18 pregnant women receiving maraviroc (150 or 300 mg twice daily) in conjunction with other antiretrovirals, overall maraviroc exposures were 28-30% lower during the third trimester of pregnancy compared with postpartum exposures.

Limited amounts of maraviroc were distributed across the placenta (median cord blood to maternal blood concentration ratio was 0.33). In the clinical trial evaluating maraviroc pharmacokinetics in HIV-1-exposed neonates (born to HIV-1 infected mothers) from birth to 6 weeks of age, exposure to maternal efavirenz in utero (for >=2 weeks immediately prior to delivery) did not have a meaningful impact on maraviroc pharmacokinetics.

Maraviroc is distributed into milk in rats. It is not known whether maraviroc is distributed into human milk, affects human milk production, or affects the breast-fed infant. In the clinical trial evaluating maraviroc pharmacokinetics in HIV-1-exposed neonates (born to HIV-1 infected mothers) from birth to 6 weeks of age, exposure to maternal efavirenz during breast-feeding did not have a meaningful impact on maraviroc pharmacokinetics.

The HHS perinatal HIV transmission guideline provides updated recommendations on infant feeding. The guideline states that patients with HIV should receive evidence-based, patient-centered counseling to support shared decision making about infant feeding. During counseling, patients should be informed that feeding with appropriate formula or pasteurized donor human milk from a milk bank eliminates the risk of postnatal HIV transmission to the infant.

Additionally, achieving and maintaining viral suppression with antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy and postpartum reduces the risk of breastfeeding HIV transmission to <1%, but does not completely eliminate the risk. Replacement feeding with formula or banked pasteurized donor milk is recommended when patients with HIV are not on antiretroviral therapy and/or do not have a suppressed viral load during pregnancy (at a minimum throughout the third trimester), as well as at delivery.

Experience in patients >=65 years of age is insufficient to determine whether they respond differently than younger adults. Use maraviroc with caution in geriatric patients because of age-related decreases in hepatic and renal function and potential for concomitant disease and drug therapy. Maraviroc pharmacokinetics have not been fully assessed in patients >=65 years of age.
