Odefsey (Rilpivirine, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir alafenamide)

Odefsey (Rilpivirine, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir alafenamide) is a combination of three antiretroviral drugs that are used to treat certain patients with HIV-1 infections.

Odefsey (Rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide) Uses:

  • HIV-1 infection:

    • It is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection (as a complete regimen) in patients who are:

      • To replace a stable antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) for 6 months or more with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components.
  • Limitations of use:

    • More rilpivirine-treated patients with no history of antiretroviral treatment with HIV-1 RNA >100,000 copies/mL experienced virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL) compared to rilpivirine-treated patients with HIV-1 RNA ≤100,000 copies/mL.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Depressive disorders:

    • Patients receiving Rilpivirine treatment may experience neuropsychiatric symptoms.
    • Patients can experience depression, low mood, dysphoria, and mood changes.
    • It may be necessary to consult a psychiatrist promptly.
    • If the suicide risk is greater, it may be necessary to change the antiviral treatment regimen.
  • Hepatotoxicity:

    • Patients who have had a history of hepatitis B or C, or any other liver-related disease, may be at risk for hepatotoxicity when Rilpivirine is administered.
    • Hepatotoxicity refers to a significant increase in liver enzymes. It can occur in patients who have no other risk factors for liver disease.
    • It is important to monitor the liver function test results at baseline as well as periodically, if necessary.
  • Hypersensitivity

    • There are many symptoms that can cause hypersensitivity.
    • These may range from mild skin rash to severe reactions such as SJS or TEN. It may cause severe hypersensitivity reactions, including skin reactions such as blisters, mucosal involvement, and facial and lip swelling.
    • Sometimes, skin reactions can be accompanied by constitutional symptoms such as fever or organ dysfunction like hepatic transaminitis.
    • Patients should be closely monitored, and treatment must be stopped if hypersensitivity reactions develop.
  • Immune reconstitution syndrome:

    • After antiretroviral treatment, immune reconstitution syndrome can occur.
    • This is characterized by an exaggerated reaction to indolent infectious diseases such as tuberculosis or fungal infections after ART has been initiated.
    • In therapy, other immune-mediated diseases such as Graves disease and polymyositis may also develop.
    • It may be necessary to provide the appropriate treatment.
  • Lactic acidosis/hepatomegaly:

    • A nucleoside analog could cause severe hepatomegaly and lactic acidosis with steatosis
    • If the patient displays any of these symptoms, discontinue treatment
  • QT-interval prolongation:

    • Supra-therapeutic doses (75 mg daily, 300 mg daily) of rilpivirine may prolong the QTc interval in the ECG.
    • If the patient is at greater risk for Torsades, de pointes, alternate therapy may be offered.
  • Nephrotoxicity:

    • Tenofovir products can cause renal toxicity, such as acute renal failure or Fanconi syndrome. The risk factor is higher with Tenofovir.
    • Before starting therapy, monitor renal function, including serum creatinine and estimated CrCl (chronic kidney disease patients), serum phosphorus, urine protein, and glucose
    • If the patient has impaired renal function or Fanconi syndrome, discontinue treatment.
  • Chronic Hepatitis B: [US-Boxed Warning]

    • Stopping antiretroviral treatment may lead to severe HBV complications.
    • It is not recommended for the treatment of chronic liver disease B.
    • The safety and efficacy of HBD/HIV co-infection are not established
    • Monitor your liver closely, both clinically as well as in laboratory settings, several months after stopping this drug.
    • Anti-hepatitis B therapy may be prescribed for patients suffering from advanced liver disease or cirrhosis.
    • Before starting treatment, all HIV-positive patients should be tested for HBV.
  • Pre-existing Renal impairment

    • If CrCl is 30mL/minute, do not use it.

How to administer Odefsey (Rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide)?

Oral: Take with a meal.

Mechanism of action of Odefsey (Rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide):

  • It is a combination of nucleoside, nucleoside, and nucleotide reverse transcriptionase inhibitor
  • Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, Rilpivirine, inhibits HIV-1 reproduction by inducing DNA polymerase RNA-dependent or DNA-dependent.
  • For antiviral activity, it does not require intracellular protein phosphorylation
  • Emtricitabine can be used as a cytosine analog.
  • Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF), is an analog to adenosine 5-'-monophosphate.

The drug inhibits HIV viral replication by interfering with HIV RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities. See individual agents (Rilpivirine, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir alafenamide)
