MAVYRET is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 3 years and older with HCV genotype 1 infection, who previously have been treated with a regimen containing an HCV NS5A inhibitor or an NS3/4A protease inhibitor (PI), but not both [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14 )].
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Testing Prior to the Initiation of Therapy: Test all patients for HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc. ( 2.1 ) See recommended treatment duration for patients 3 years and older in tables below. ( 2.2 ) Treatment-Naïve Patients 1 HCV Genotype Treatment Duration No Cirrhosis Compensated Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 8 weeks 8 weeks Treatment-naïve patients are those who have not received treatment for the current infection.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS In subjects receiving MAVYRET, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (greater than 10%) are headache and fatigue. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AbbVie Inc. at 1-800-633-9110 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Carbamazepine, efavirenz, and St. John’s wort may decrease concentrations of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. Coadministration of carbamazepine, efavirenz containing regimens, and St. John’s wort with MAVYRET is not recommended. ( 5.3 ) Clearance of HCV infection with direct-acting antivirals may lead to changes in hepatic function, which may impact safe and effective use of concomitant medications. Frequent monitoring of relevant laboratory parameters (INR or blood glucose) and dose adjustments of certain concomitant medications may be necessary. ( 7.3 ) Medication- Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder. ( 7.4 ) Consult the full prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug interactions.
Warnings
WARNING: RISK OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATION IN PATIENTS COINFECTED WITH HCV AND HBV Test all patients for evidence of current or prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection before initiating treatment with MAVYRET. HBV reactivation has been reported in HCV/HBV coinfected patients who were undergoing or had completed treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals and were not receiving HBV antiviral therapy. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation: Test all patients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection before initiation of HCV treatment. Monitor HCV/HBV coinfected patients for HBV reactivation and hepatitis flare during HCV treatment and post-treatment follow-up. Initiate appropriate patient management for HBV infection as clinically indicated. ( 5.1 ) Risk of Hepatic Decompensation/Failure in Patients with Evidence of Advanced Liver Disease: Hepatic decompensation/failure, including fatal outcomes, have been reported mostly in patients with cirrhosis and baseline moderate or severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh B or C). Monitor for clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic decompensation. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS MAVYRET is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) or those with any history of prior hepatic decompensation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary No adequate human data are available to establish whether or not MAVYRET poses a risk to pregnancy outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of MAVYRET were administered separately during organogenesis at exposures up to 53 times (rats; glecaprevir) or 51 and 1.5 times (mice and rabbits, respectively; pibrentasvir) the human exposures at the recommended dose of MAVYRET (see Data ) .
