TGA investigates reports received by it to determine any necessary regulatory action. • To report a problem with a medicine or medical device, please see the information on the TGA website <http://www.tga.gov.au>. About AusPARs • An Australian Public Assessment Record (AusPAR) provides information about the evaluation of a prescription medicine and the considerations that led the TGA to approve or not approve a prescription medicine submission. • AusPARs are prepared and published by the TGA. • An AusPAR is prepared for submissions that relate to new chemical entities, generic medicines, major variations, and extensions of indications. • An AusPAR is a static document, in that it will provide information that relates to a submission at a particular point in time. • A new AusPAR will be developed to reflect changes to indications and/or major variations to a prescription medicine subject to evaluation by the TGA.

The use of other active agents with Celsentri is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response. Route of administration: Oral Dosage (abbreviated): Adults: 150 mg, 300 mg or 600 mg twice daily depending on interactions with co-administered antiretroviral therapy and other medicinal products. ARTG Numbers: 137330, 137332, 137331, 137329 Product background An essential step in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication cycle is attachment to both the helper T cell (CD4+) receptor and one of the chemokine co-receptors (CC), either CCR5 or CXCR4.1 Maraviroc is a selective CCR5 co-receptor antagonist, active in vitro against a wide range of clinical isolates including those resistant to existing drug classes. 1 CCR5 and CXCR4 are also referred to as R5 and X4, respectively, in this report. AusPAR Celsentri Maraviroc ViiV Healthcare Pty Ltd PM-2010-02896-3-2 Page 4 of 56 Date of finalisation: 12 May 2013 Therapeutic Goods Administration Celsentri was first registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) in February 2008 for treatment experienced adult patients, as follows: Celsentri, in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products, is indicated for treatment-experienced adult patients infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1. This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts at 24 weeks in two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in treatment-experienced patients with clinically advanced disease resistant to three or four classes of antiretrovirals. The use of other active agents with CELSENTRI is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response. This AusPAR describes the application by ViiV Healthcare Pty Ltd (the sponsor) to extend the approved indications for Celsentri to include treatment naïve patients. The requested (amended) indications are: Celsentri, in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal product, is indicated for adult patients infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1. The use of other active agents with CELSENTRI is associated with a greater likelihood of treatment response. Regulatory status Celsentri received initial ARTG Registration on 4 February 2008. At the time of the current application, a similar application and data package were submitted to Canada, the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). Canada and the US approved the indication for treatment naïve patients. Both have included in the Indication, a statement concerning the risk of development of viral resistance to lamivudine and emergence of CXCR4 tropic HIV-1 and instruction to use highly sensitive tropism testing prior to initiating therapy. The application was rejected in the EU. Product Information The approved product information (PI) current at the time this AusPAR was prepared can be found as Attachment 1. II.

Refer to the specific Health Plan's procedure code list for management requirements. Procedures addressed by this Procedure codes guideline HIV-1 Tropism Phenotyping 87999 HIV-1 Tropism Genotyping, Common 87901 HIV-1 Tropism Genotyping, Other 87906 What is HIV tropism testing for Maraviroc response Definition HIV tropism testing is used to help determine an individual's response to maraviroc (Selzentry®). Maraviroc is only effective against CCR5-tropic HIV-1. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV replicates itself in humans by infecting T-cells with CD4 receptors (often called CD4 cells). HIV-1 enters the CD4 cell by binding one of two cell surface co-receptors: CCR5 or CXCR4.1,2 Tropism classifications Tropism is the ability of HIV-1 virus to use one or both of these co-receptors. There are three main tropism classifications:3 o CCR5 tropism (R5-tropic) — HIV-1 virus that only infects cells with the CCR5 co-receptor. o CXCR4 tropism (X4-tropic) — HIV-1 virus that only infects cells with the CXCR4 co-receptor. © 2020 eviCore healthcare.

  • Selected Properties of Maraviroc
    Selected Properties of Maraviroc Other names UK-427,857, MVC, Celsentri , Selzentry (US) Manufacturer ViiV Healthcare ULC Pharmacology/Mechanism of Maraviroc is a selective, slowly reversible, small molecule Action antagonist of the interaction between human CCR5 and HIV-1 gp120. Blocking this interaction prevents CCR5-tropic HIV-1 entry into cells . CCR5 antagonists target a discrete step in the viral entry pathway. The mechanism of HIV entry into the host CD4 T cells involves a sequence of molecular interactions between the virion envelope glycoprotein (Env) and host cell surface receptors. Normally, the gp120 Env subunit binds to CD4, and subsequent binding of HIV to the host cell’s coreceptors (CCR5 or CXCR4) causes a conformational change leading to membrane fusion into the host cell. Allosteric binding of a CCR5 antagonist results in a receptor conformation that the virus cannot bind to, thus interfering with the fusion process. NB: Use of maraviroc is not recommended in patients with dual/mixed or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 as efficacy was not demonstrated in a phase 2 study of this patient group. The mean EC value (50% effective concentration) for Activity 50 maraviroc against HIV-1 group M isolates (clades A to J) and group O isolates ranged from 0.1 to 1.25 nM (0.05 to 0.64 ng/mL) in cell culture. Mean potency against a range of CCR5- tropic clinical primary isolates: IC 90 2.03 nM (1.04 ng/mL). In 973 treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected subjects in studies A4001027 and A4001028, the C , baseline viral load, baseline min CD4, cell count and overall sensitivity score (OSS) were found to be important predictors of virologic success (defined as viral load < 400 copies/mL at 24 weeks).

Although several factors of this infection and its consequences are not completely clear, the presence and involvement of specific chemokines is undoubtedly crucial for the development and progression of COVID-19. Cytokine storm and the often-resulting cytokine release syndrome (CRS) are patho- physiological hallmarks in COVID-19 infections related to its most severe and fatal cases. In this hyperinflammatory event, chemokines and other cytokines are highly upregulated and are therefore not fulfilling their beneficial function in the host response anymore but causing harmful effects. Here, we present the recent views on the involvement of chemokines and selected cytokines in COVID-19 and the therapeutics currently in clinical development targeting or interfering with them, discussing their potentials in the treatment of COVID-19 infections.
