Brief information about the HIV safety profile-I and hepatitis B
Rarely reported cases of impaired renal function, renal failure and proximal tubulopathy (including Fanconi syndrome), which sometimes led to bone disease (rarely - to fractures), in patients taking tenofovir. For patients taking Viread ®, monitoring of renal function is recommended (see section "Special instructions").
HIV-1: Adverse reactions in the treatment of tenofovir in combination with other
Almost one third of patients can expect antiretroviral drugs. Such reactions, as a rule, represent violations from the gastrointestinal tract from mild to moderate severity. Approximately 1% of patients treated with tpofovir discontinued treatment due to reactions from the gastrointestinal tract.
With the use of tefofovir associated phenomena such as lactic acidosis, gayatomegaly with fatty degeneration and lyiodistrophy (see section "Special instructions").
The simultaneous use of Viread ® and didanosine is not recommended, as this may lead to an increased risk of adverse reactions (see section "Interaction with other drugs"). Rarely reported cases of pancreatitis and lactic acidosis, sometimes with a legal outcome (see section "Special instructions").
Hepatitis B: Adverse reactions with admission of tepofovir may be expected in almost one quarter of patients, mostly minor. In clinical trials involving patients infected with HBV, the most frequent adverse reaction to tenofovir was nausea (5.4%).
Hepatitis B exacerbations have been reported in patients on the background of therapy, as well as in patients who have stopped hepatitis B treatment (see section "Special instructions").
Brief information about adverse reactions
Assessment of adverse reactions to tenofovir is based on safety data obtained through clinical trials and post-registration analysis. All adverse reactions are indicated in the table 1.
Clinical studies of HIV-1
The evaluation of adverse reactions from clinical studies of HIV-1 is based on the results of two studies, in which 653 patients who received previous treatment received tenofovir (n = 443) or placebo (n = 210) in combination with other antiretroviral drugs for 24 weeks, as well as a double-blind, comparative controlled trial in which 600 patients who had not previously received treatment received 300 mg of tephofovir, dizoproxil fumarate (n = 299) or stavudine (n = 301) in combination with lamivudine and efavirenz for 144 weeks.
Clinical studies of hepatitis B
The evaluation of adverse reactions from clinical studies of hepatitis B is mainly based on the results of two double-blind, comparative controlled trials in which 641 patients with chronic hepatitis B and with compensated liver function received 300 mg of tenofovir dizoproxil fumarate daily (n = 426) or adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg daily (n = 215) for 48 weeks. Adverse reactions that were observed during the 288-week uninterrupted treatment, corresponded to the known safety profile of tenofovir.
Patients with decompensated liver disease
The tenofovir safety profile in patients with decompensated liver disease was evaluated in a double-blind, active controlled study in which adult patients received 48 weeks of treatment tenofovir (n = 45) or emtricitabine + tenofovir (n = 45), or entecavir (n = 22).
In the tenofovir group, 7% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions; 9% of patients for 48 weeks had confirmed elevated serum creatinine> 0.5 mg / dl or a confirmed serum phosphate concentration <2 mg / dl; statistically significant differences between the group of combined treatment on the basis of tenofovir and the entecavir group ns was. At 168 weeks, 16% (7/45) of the tenofovir group, 4% (2/45) of the group emtricitabine+ tenofovir and 14% (3/22) of the entecavir group showed a tolerance disorder. In 13% (6/45) of patients in the tenofovir group, 13% (6/45) of the group emtricitabine+ tenofovir and 9% (2/22) of the entecavir group, a confirmed elevated serum creatinine> 0.5 mg / dL or a confirmed serum phosphate concentration < 2mg / dl.
At 168 weeks in this population of patients with decompensated hepatic insufficiency, the death rate was 13% (6/45) in the tenofovir group, 11% (5/45) in the group emtricitabinetenofovir and 14% (3/22) in the entecavir group.The proportion of hepatocellular cancer was 18% (8/45) in the tenofovir group, 7% (3/45) in the group emtricitabinetenofovir and 9% (9/22) in the entecavir group.
Patients with an initially large number of points on the Child-Pugh classification had a greater risk of developing serious adverse reactions (see section "Special instructions").
Patients with HBV resistance to lamivudine
In a randomized, double-blind study in which 280 lamivudine-resistant patients within 96 weeks of age received tenofovir (n = 141) or emtricitabine / tenofovir (n = 139), no new adverse reactions were identified.
Adverse reactions with potential (or, at least, possible) communication with treatment are given below by the class of organ systems and frequency. Within each frequency group, adverse reactions are given in order of severity. Adverse reactions in frequency are defined as: very often (> 1/10), often (from> 1/100 up to < 1/10), infrequently (from> 1/1000 up to < 1/100) and rarely (from> 1/10 000 up to < 1/1000).

1 Adverse reaction may occur as a consequence of proximal tubulopathy. It is not considered that it is causally associated with tfnofovir in the absence of this disease. |
2 A side-effect was established during nosgresegrassion study, but was observed during randomized controlled clinical trials or a program of expanded access to tenofovir. The frequency category was established by statistical calculations based on the total number of patients taking tenofanov in the framework of randomized controlled trials and an expanded access program (n = 7319). 3 For more information, see the section below.
Description of individual adverse reactions of HIV-I and hepatitis B
Impaired renal function
Because Viread® can lead to impaired renal function, it is recommended to monitor their function (see section "Special instructions"). Proximal tubulopathy, as a rule, disappeared or there was an improvement after the withdrawal of tenofovir. Nevertheless, in some patients, the withdrawal of tenofovir did not completely lead to the restoration of a decreased level of CC.Patients at risk of developing renal failure (eg, patients with a baseline risk of kidney failure, concomitant HIV infection, concomitant therapy with nephrotoxic drugs) are at increased risk of incomplete renal function recovery despite the withdrawal of tenofovir (see section "Specific guidance"),
HIV-1
Interaction with didanosine
Simultaneous use of tenofovir and didanosine is not recommended, as this leads to an increase in systemic exposure to didanosine by 40-60%, which may increase the risk of side effects associated with didanosine (see section "Interaction with other drugs"). Rarely reported cases of pancreatitis and lactic acidosis, sometimes with a fatal outcome.
Lipids, lipodystrophy and metabolic disorders
Combined antiretroviral therapy has been associated with metabolic disorders such as hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and gipsrallactatmia.
Combined antiretroviral therapy was associated with the redistribution of adipose tissue in the body of HIV-infected patients (lipodystrophy),including loss of subcutaneous fat on the limbs and face, increased volume of intraperitoneal and visceral fat, mammary hypertrophy, and fat accumulation in the dorso-cervical region (buffalo hump). |
In a 144-week controlled clinical study among patients previously treated with antiretrovirals, which was performed to compare tfnofovir with stavudine in combination with lamivudip and efavirenz, it was observed that the risk of lipodystrophy in the case of tfnofovir was significantly lower than with stavudine. The tenofovir group also had a significantly lower average increase in triglycerides and total fasting cholesterol than the comparison group.
Immunodeficiency Syndrome
In HIV-infected patients with severe forms of immunodeficiency, the onset of combined antiretroviral therapy may result in an inflammatory response to asymptomatic or residual opportunistic infections. Also reported were autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease); However, the time of onset of such events varies greatly, and these cases may have occurred several months after the start of treatment.
Osteonecrosis
Cases of osteonecrosis have been reported, in particular in patients with well-known risk factors, late HIV infection, or long-term use of combination antiretroviral therapy. The frequency of occurrence of this phenomenon is unknown (see section "Special instructions").
Lactic acidosis and hepatomegaly of severe degree with fatty dystrophy
When using nucleoside analogues, lactoacidosis was reported, which is usually accompanied by fatty liver dystrophy. Treatment with analogues of nucleosides should be discontinued in the presence of symptomatic hyperlactemia and metabolic lactic acidosis, progressive hepatomegaly, or a rapid increase in the level of aminotransferase (see section "Special instructions").
Hepatitis B
Exacerbation of hepatitis during treatment
Within the framework of studies among patients who had not previously taken nucleoside analogs, increased ALT levels during treatment and exceeding the upper limit of the norm more than in 10 times, and exceeding the entry level more than 2 times, was observed in 2.6% of patients treated with tfnofovir. The rise in ALT, the median time before the appearance of which was 8 weeks, later disappeared on the background of continuing treatment. In most cases, such increases in ALT were associated with a decrease in viral load> = 2 log10 copies / ml, which preceded or coincided with the increase in ALT. During treatment it is recommended to periodically monitor liver function. Exacerbation of hepatitis after withdrawal of treatment
In patients infected with HBV, after discontinuation of drugs active against BHB, there were clinical and laboratory signs of exacerbation of hepatitis.
Chronic hepatitis B
The evaluation of adverse reactions is based on one randomized clinical trial involving 106 children (age 12 to 18 years) with chronic hepatitis B who were treated with 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (n = 52) or placebo (n = 54) for 72 weeks . Adverse reactions, which were observed in children who received tenofovir, corresponded to those observed in clinical studies of tenofovir in adults.
Reduction of BMD was observed in children infected with hepatitis B virus. Z-the MPC criterion observed in patients who received tenofovir, was lower than that in patients who received a placebo.
Other special patient groups Older patients
A study of tenofovir among patients over the age of 65 years of age was conducted. Elderly patients are more likely to have a decreased renal function, therefore, during treatment with tenofovir in this population, special care must be taken.
Patients with impaired renal function
Because tenofovir may cause kidney damage, it is recommended that the kidney function in adult patients with impaired renal function receiving Virsad ® is closely monitored. It is contraindicated to use tnchnofovir in children from 12 to 18 years with impaired renal function (see sections "Dosing and Administration" and "Special instructions").
