    © National HIV Curriculum PDF created September 29, 2021, 5:12 am Darunavir-Cobicistat-Tenofovir alafenamide-Emtricitabine (Symtuza) Table of Contents Darunavir-Cobicistat-Tenofovir alafenamide-Emtricitabine Symtuza Summary Drug Summary Key Clinical Trials Key Drug Interactions Drug Summary The fixed-dose combination tablet darunavir-cobicistat-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine is a single-tablet regimen that can be considered for treatment-naïve or certain treatment-experienced adults living with HIV. This single-tablet regimen offers a one pill daily regimen with high barrier to resistance (due to the darunavir- cobicistat), with potentially less renal and bone toxicity as compared to regimens that include tenofovir DF; however, it has potential gastrointestinal adverse effects and drug-drug interactions, primarily due to the cobicistat component. In clinical trials, darunavir-cobicistat-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine was compared to darunavir-cobicistat plus tenofovir DF-emtricitabine as initial therapy for treatment-naïve individuals and found to be equally effective in terms of viral suppression. A switch to the fixed-dose combination tablet was also compared to continuing a boosted protease inhibitor plus tenofovir DF- emtricitabine and again determined to have equivalent efficacy. The FDA has approved darunavir-cobicistat- tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine as a complete regimen for treatment-naïve individuals or treatment- experienced individuals who have a suppressed HIV RNA level on a stable regimen for at least 6 months and no resistance to darunavir or tenofovir. Key Clinical Trials A phase 3 trial in treatment-naïve individuals compared the fixed-dose single-tablet regimen darunavir- cobicistat-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine with the regimen darunavir-cobicistat plus tenofovir DF- emtricitabine emtricitabine [AMBER].

Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again. If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. This medicine has been prescribed for you only. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them, even if their signs of illness are the same as yours. If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. See section 4. What is in this leaflet: 1. What Lamivudine/Zidovudine is and what it is used for 2.

Contents of the pack and other information 1. What Lamivudine/Zidovudine is and what it is used for Lamivudine/Zidovudine is used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in adults and children. Lamivudine/Zidovudine contains two active substances that are used to treat HIV infection: lamivudine and zidovudine. Both of these belong to a group of anti-retroviral medicines called nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Lamivudine/Zidovudine does not completely cure HIV infection; it reduces the amount of HIV virus in your body, and keeps it at a low level. It also increases the CD4 cell count in your blood. CD4 cells are a type of white blood cell that are important in helping your body to fight infection.

  • Tenofovir Alafenamide Rescues Renal Tubules in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

NAs suppress hepatic decompensation and hepatocarcinogenesis, leading to a dramatic improvement of the natural course of patients with CHB. However, renal dysfunction is becoming an important issue for the management of CHB. Renal dysfunction develops in patients with the long-term treatment of NAs including adefovir dipivoxil and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Recently, several studies have reported that the newly approved tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has a safe profile for the kidney due to greater plasma stability. In this mini-review, we discuss the effectiveness of switching to TAF for NAs-related renal tubular dysfunction in patients with CHB.
