🩺 Clinical
The combination of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir AF is used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The combination of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir is in a class of medications called antivirals. Elvitegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. Cobicistat helps to keep elvitegravir in the body longer so that the medication will have a greater effect. Although the combination of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovir AF will not cure HIV, these medications may decrease...

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of adverse reactions or loss of virologic response due to drug interactions: The concomitant use of GENVOYA and other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of GENVOYA and possible development of resistance; clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of concomitant drugs; or loss of therapeutic effect of concomitant drugs. ( 5.2 ) Immune reconstitution syndrome: May necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
( 5.3 ) New onset or worsening renal impairment: Assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose and urine protein when initiating GENVOYA and during therapy on a clinically appropriate schedule in all patients. Also assess serum phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease. ( 5.4 ) Lactic acidosis/severe hepatomegaly with steatosis: Discontinue treatment in patients who develop symptoms or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity.
( 5.5 )
5.1Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients Coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV Patients with HIV-1 should be tested for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) before or when initiating antiretroviral therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B (e.g., liver decompensation and liver failure) have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV and have discontinued products containing emtricitabine and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and may occur with discontinuation of GENVOYA.
Patients coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV who discontinue GENVOYA should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment. If appropriate, anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted, especially in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, since post-treatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure.
5.2Risk of Adverse Reactions or Loss of Virologic Response Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of GENVOYA and other drugs may result in known or potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.5) ]: Loss of therapeutic effect of GENVOYA and possible development of resistance. Clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events, from greater exposures of concomitant drugs metabolized by CYP3A.
Loss of therapeutic effect of concomitant drugs that utilize CYP3A to form active metabolites. See Table 5 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during GENVOYA therapy; review concomitant medications during GENVOYA therapy; and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the concomitant drugs.
5.3Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including emtricitabine, a component of GENVOYA. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune system responds may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections [such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), or tuberculosis], which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution, however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse drug reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling: Severe Acute Exacerbations of Hepatitis B [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Immune Reconstitution Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Most common adverse reaction (incidence greater than or equal to 10%, all grades) is nausea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Gilead Sciences, Inc. at 1-800-GILEAD-5 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials in Treatment-Naïve Adults The primary safety assessment of GENVOYA was based on Week 144 pooled data from 1,733 subjects in two randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trials, Study 104 and Study 111, in antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected adult subjects.
A total of 866 subjects received one tablet of GENVOYA once daily [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . The most common adverse reaction (all Grades) reported in at least 10% of subjects in the GENVOYA group was nausea. The proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment with GENVOYA or STRIBILD ® due to adverse events, regardless of severity, was 1% and 2%, respectively.
Table 1 displays the frequency of adverse reactions (all Grades) greater than or equal to 5% in the GENVOYA group. Table 1 Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all adverse events attributed to study drugs by the investigator. (All Grades) Reported in ≥ 5% of HIV-1 Infected Treatment-Naïve Adults Receiving GENVOYA in Studies 104 and 111 (Week 144 analysis) GENVOYA N=866 STRIBILD N=867 Nausea 11% 13% Diarrhea 7% 9% Headache 6% 5% Fatigue 5% 4% The majority of events presented in Table 1 occurred at severity Grade 1.
Clinical Trials in Virologically Suppressed Adults The safety of GENVOYA in virologically-suppressed adults was based on Week 96 data from 959 subjects in a randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial (Study 109) in which virologically-suppressed subjects were switched from a TDF-containing combination regimen to GENVOYA. Overall, the safety profile of GENVOYA in subjects in this study was similar to that of treatment-naïve subjects [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ] . Additional adverse reactions observed with GENVOYA in Study 109 included suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, and suicide attempt (<1% combined); all of these events were serious and all occurred in subjects with a preexisting history of depression or psychiatric illness.
Clinical Trials in Adult Subjects with Renal Impairment In an open-label trial (Study 112), 248 HIV-1 infected subjects with estimated creatinine clearance between 30 and 69 mL per minute (by Cockcroft-Gault method) were treated with GENVOYA for a median duration of 144 weeks. Of these subjects, 65% had previously been on a stable TDF-containing regimen. A total of 5 subjects permanently discontinued GENVOYA due to the development of renal adverse events through Week 96.
Three of these five were among the 80 subjects with baseline estimated creatinine clearance of less than 50 mL/min and two subjects were among the 162 subjects with baseline estimated creatinine clearance of greater than or equal to 50 mL/min. There were no further renal discontinuations between Weeks 96 and 144. Overall, renally impaired subjects receiving GENVOYA in this study had a mean serum creatinine of 1.5 mg/dL at baseline and 1.4 mg/dL at Week 144.
Otherwise, the safety profile of GENVOYA in subjects in this study was similar to that of subjects with normal renal function. Virologically-Suppressed Ad…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS GENVOYA should not be administered with other antiretroviral medications for treatment of HIV-1 infection. ( 7.1 ) GENVOYA can alter the concentration of drugs metabolized by CYP3A or CYP2D6. Drugs that induce CYP3A can alter the concentrations of one or more components of GENVOYA. Consult the full prescribing information prior to and during treatment for potential drug-drug interactions. ( 4 , 7.2 , 7.3 , 12.3 )
7.1Not Recommended with Other Antiretroviral Medications GENVOYA is a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection; therefore, coadministration of GENVOYA with other antiretroviral medications for treatment of HIV-1 infection should be avoided. Complete information regarding potential drug-drug interactions with other antiretroviral medications is not provided [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
7.2Potential for GENVOYA to Affect Other Drugs Cobicistat, a component of GENVOYA, is an inhibitor of CYP3A and CYP2D6 and an inhibitor of the following transporters: P-glycoprotein (P-gp), BCRP, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Thus, coadministration of GENVOYA with drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A or CYP2D6, or are substrates of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 may result in increased plasma concentrations of such drugs . Coadministration of GENVOYA with drugs that have active metabolite(s) formed by CYP3A may result in reduced plasma concentration of these active metabolite(s) (see Table 5 ).
Elvitegravir is a modest inducer of CYP2C9 and may decrease the plasma concentrations of CYP2C9 substrates. TAF is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or UGT1A1. TAF is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A in vitro .
TAF is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A in vivo .
7.3Potential for Other Drugs to Affect One or More Components of GENVOYA Elvitegravir and cobicistat, components of GENVOYA, are metabolized by CYP3A. Cobicistat is also metabolized, to a minor extent, by CYP2D6. Drugs that induce CYP3A activity are expected to increase the clearance of elvitegravir and cobicistat, resulting in decreased plasma concentration of cobicistat, elvitegravir, and TAF, which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of GENVOYA and development of resistance (see Table 5 ).
Coadministration of GENVOYA with other drugs that inhibit CYP3A may decrease the clearance and increase the plasma concentration of cobicistat. (see Table 5 ). TAF, a component of GENVOYA, is a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3.
Drugs that inhibit P-gp and/or BCRP, such as cobicistat, may increase the absorption of TAF (see Table 13 ). However, when TAF is administered as a component of GENVOYA, its availability is increased by cobicistat and a further increase of TAF concentrations is not expected upon coadministration of an additional P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitor. Drugs that induce P-gp activity are expected to decrease the absorption of TAF, resulting in decreased plasma concentration of TAF.
7.4Drugs Affecting Renal Function Because emtricitabine and tenofovir are primarily excreted by the kidneys by a combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion, coadministration of GENVOYA with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase concentrations of emtricitabine, tenofovir, and other renally eliminated drugs and this may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Some examples of drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion include, but are not limited to, acyclovir, cidofovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] .
7.5Established and Other Potentially Significant Interactions Table 5 provides a listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions [see Contraindications (4) ] . The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with either GENV…

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to GENVOYA during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary GENVOYA is not recommended during pregnancy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .
A literature report evaluating the pharmacokinetics of antiretrovirals during pregnancy demonstrated substantially lower exposures of elvitegravir and cobicistat in the second and third trimesters (see Data ) . Prospective pregnancy data from the APR are not sufficient to adequately assess the risk of birth defects or miscarriage. However, elvitegravir (EVG), cobicistat (COBI), emtricitabine (FTC), and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) use during pregnancy have been evaluated in a limited number of individuals as reported to the APR.
Available data from the APR show no statistically significant difference in the overall risk of major birth defects for EVG, COBI, FTC or TAF compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in a U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) (see Data ) . The rate of miscarriage is not reported in the APR. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 15-20%.
In animal studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of GENVOYA were administered separately during the period of organogenesis at exposures up to 23 and 0.2 times (rat and rabbits, respectively: elvitegravir), 1.6 and 3.8 times (rats and rabbits, respectively: cobicistat), 60 and 108 times (mice and rabbits, respectively; emtricitabine) and equal to and 53 times (rats and rabbits, respectively; TAF) the exposure at the recommended daily dosage of these components in GENVOYA (see Data ) .
Likewise, no adverse developmental effects were seen when elvitegravir or cobicistat was administered to rats through lactation at exposures up to 18 times or 1.2 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended therapeutic dose, and when emtricitabine was administered to mice through lactation at exposures up to approximately 60 times the exposure at the recommended daily dose. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring when TDF was administered through lactation at tenofovir exposures of approximately 14 times the exposure at the recommended daily dosage of GENVOYA.
Data Human Data A prospective study, reported in the literature, enrolled 30 pregnant women living with HIV who were receiving elvitegravir and cobicistat-based regimens in the second or third trimesters of pregnancy and through 6 to 12 weeks postpartum to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antiretrovirals during pregnancy. Twenty-eight women completed the study through the postpartum period. Paired pregnancy/postpartum PK data were available from 14 and 24 women for the second and third trimesters, respectively.
Exposures of elvitegravir and cobicistat were substantially lower during the second and third trimesters compared to postpartum. The proportion of pregnant women who were virologically suppressed was 77% in the second trimester, 92% in the third trimester, and 76% postpartum. No correlation was observed between viral suppression and elvitegravir exposure.
HIV status was also assessed for infants: 25 were uninfected, 2 had indeterminate status, and no information was available for 3 infants. Prospective reports from the…

🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of GENVOYA for the treatment of HIV-1 infection was established in pediatric patients with body weight greater than or equal to 25 kg [see Indications and Usage (1) and Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Use of GENVOYA in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age and weighing at least 25 kg is supported by studies in adults and by an open-label study in antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected pediatric subjects aged 12 to less than 18 years and weighing at least 35 kg (cohort 1 of Study 106, N=50) and in virologically-suppressed pediatric subjects aged 6 to less than 12 years and weighing at least 25 kg (cohort 2 of Study 106, N=52).
The safety and efficacy of GENVOYA in adolescent subjects was similar to that in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14.5) ]. The safety and efficacy of GENVOYA in subjects 6 to 12 years of age weighing at least 25 kg was similar to that in antiretroviral treatment-naïve adults and adolescents with the exception of a decrease from baseline CD4+ cell count [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14.5) ] . A pharmacokinetic evaluation of a reduced strength GENVOYA formulation containing 90 mg of EVG, 90 mg of COBI, 120 mg of FTC, and 6 mg TAF was performed in 27 virologically-suppressed pediatric patients at least 2 years of age and weighing at least 14 to less than 25 kg (cohort 3 of Study 106).
Virologic, immunologic, and safety outcomes were similar to those observed in cohort 2 of Study 106. No clinically meaningful differences in drug exposures except EVG were identified between pediatric patients in cohort 3 receiving the reduced strength formulation and adults receiving the GENVOYA tablet containing 150 mg of EVG,150 mg of COBI, 200 mg of FTC, and 10 mg TAF. The median observed EVG C trough values in subjects in cohort 3 were significantly lower than the values correlated with efficacy in adults.
Therefore, efficacy cannot be extrapolated from adults to pediatric patients weighing 14 to 25 kg. Safety and effectiveness of GENVOYA in pediatric patients weighing less than 25 kg have not been established.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical trials of GENVOYA included 97 subjects (80 receiving GENVOYA) aged 65 years and over. No differences in safety or efficacy have been observed between elderly subjects and adults between 18 and less than 65 years of age.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE No data are available on overdose of GENVOYA in patients. If overdose occurs, monitor the patient for evidence of toxicity. Treatment of overdose with GENVOYA consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient.
Elvitegravir: Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the recommended dose of elvitegravir in GENVOYA. In one study, elvitegravir (administered with the CYP3A inhibitor cobicistat) equivalent to 2 times the therapeutic dose of 150 mg once daily for 10 days was administered to 42 healthy subjects. No severe adverse reactions were reported.
The effects of higher doses are not known. As elvitegravir is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that it will be significantly removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Cobicistat: Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the recommended dose of cobicistat in GENVOYA.
In two studies, a single dose of cobicistat 400 mg (2.7 times the dose in GENVOYA) was administered to a total of 60 healthy subjects. No severe adverse reactions were reported. The effects of higher doses are not known.
As cobicistat is highly bound to plasma proteins, it is unlikely that it will be significantly removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Emtricitabine: Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the recommended dose of emtricitabine in GENVOYA. In one clinical pharmacology study, single doses of emtricitabine 1200 mg (6 times the dose in GENVOYA) were administered to 11 subjects.
No severe adverse reactions were reported. The effects of higher doses are not known. Hemodialysis treatment removes approximately 30% of the emtricitabine dose over a 3-hour dialysis period starting within 1.5 hours of emtricitabine dosing (blood flow rate of 400 mL per minute and a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL per minute).
It is not known whether emtricitabine can be removed by peritoneal dialysis. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF): Limited clinical experience is available at doses higher than the recommended dose of TAF in GENVOYA. A single dose of 125 mg TAF (12.5 times the dose in GENVOYA) was administered to 48 healthy subjects; no serious adverse reactions were reported.
The effects of higher doses are unknown. Tenofovir is efficiently removed by hemodialysis with an extraction coefficient of approximately 54%.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action GENVOYA is a fixed-dose combination of antiretroviral drugs elvitegravir (plus the CYP3A inhibitor cobicistat), emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology Thorough QT studies have been conducted for elvitegravir, cobicistat, and TAF. The effect of emtricitabine or the combination regimen GENVOYA on the QT interval is not known. Elvitegravir: In a thorough QT/QTc study in 126 healthy subjects, elvitegravir (coadministered with 100 mg ritonavir) 125 mg and 250 mg (0.83 and 1.67 times the dose in GENVOYA) did not affect the QT/QTc interval and did not prolong the PR interval.
Cobicistat: In a thorough QT/QTc study in 48 healthy subjects, a single dose of cobicistat 250 mg and 400 mg (1.67 and 2.67 times the dose in GENVOYA) did not affect the QT/QTc interval. Prolongation of the PR interval was noted in subjects receiving cobicistat. The maximum mean (95% upper confidence bound) difference in PR from placebo after baseline-correction was 9.5 (12.1) msec for the 250 mg cobicistat dose and 20.2 (22.8) for the 400 mg cobicistat dose.
Because the 150 mg cobicistat dose used in the GENVOYA fixed-dose combination tablet is lower than the lowest dose studied in the thorough QT study, it is unlikely that treatment with GENVOYA will result in clinically relevant PR prolongation. Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF): In a thorough QT/QTc study in 48 healthy subjects, TAF at the therapeutic dose or at a supratherapeutic dose approximately 5 times the recommended therapeutic dose did not affect the QT/QTc interval and did not prolong the PR interval. Effects on Serum Creatinine The effect of cobicistat on serum creatinine was investigated in a Phase 1 study in subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of at least 80 mL per minute (N=18) and with an estimated creatinine clearance of 50 to 79 mL per minute (N=12).
A statistically significant change of estimated creatinine clearance from baseline was observed after 7 days of treatment with cobicistat 150 mg among subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of at least 80 mL per minute (−9.9 ± 13.1 mL/min) and subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance between 50 and 79 mL per minute (−11.9 ± 7.0 mL per minute). These decreases in estimated creatinine clearance were reversible after cobicistat was discontinued. The actual glomerular filtration rate, as determined by the clearance of probe drug iohexol, was not altered from baseline following treatment of cobicistat among subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of at least 50 mL per minute, indicating cobicistat inhibits tubular secretion of creatinine, reflected as a reduction in estimated creatinine clearance without affecting the actual glomerular filtration rate.

🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action GENVOYA is a fixed-dose combination of antiretroviral drugs elvitegravir (plus the CYP3A inhibitor cobicistat), emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
Mechanism of Action Elvitegravir: Elvitegravir inhibits the strand transfer activity of HIV-1 integrase (integrase strand transfer inhibitor; INSTI), an HIV-1 encoded enzyme that is required for viral replication. Inhibition of integrase prevents the integration of HIV-1 DNA into host genomic DNA, blocking the formation of the HIV-1 provirus and propagation of the viral infection. Elvitegravir does not inhibit human topoisomerases I or II.
Cobicistat: Cobicistat is a selective, mechanism-based inhibitor of cytochromes P450 of the CYP3A subfamily. Inhibition of CYP3A-mediated metabolism by cobicistat enhances the systemic exposure of CYP3A substrates, such as elvitegravir, where bioavailability is limited and half-life is shortened by CYP3A-dependent metabolism. Emtricitabine: Emtricitabine, a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to form emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate.
Emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate inhibits the activity of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate and by being incorporated into nascent viral DNA which results in chain termination. Emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases α, β, Ɛ, and mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ. Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF): TAF is a phosphonamidate prodrug of tenofovir (2'-deoxyadenosine monophosphate analog).
Plasma exposure to TAF allows for permeation into cells and then TAF is intracellularly converted to tenofovir through hydrolysis by cathepsin A. Tenofovir is subsequently phosphorylated by cellular kinases to the active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HIV-1 replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the HIV reverse transcriptase, which results in DNA chain-termination.
Tenofovir has activity that is specific to human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus. Cell culture studies have shown that both emtricitabine and tenofovir can be fully phosphorylated when combined in cells. Tenofovir diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases that include mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ and there is no evidence of mitochondrial toxicity in cell culture based on several assays including mitochondrial DNA analyses.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Drug Interactions GENVOYA may interact with many drugs; therefore, advise patients to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other prescription or non-prescription medication or herbal products including St. John's wort [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7) ] .
Post-treatment Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B in Patients with HBV Co-Infection Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued products containing emtricitabine and/or TDF, and may likewise occur with discontinuation of GENVOYA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Advise the patient to not discontinue GENVOYA without first informing their healthcare provider. Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection, as in some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
Renal Impairment Advise patients to avoid taking GENVOYA with concurrent or recent use of nephrotoxic agents. Postmarketing cases of renal impairment, including acute renal failure, have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]. Lactic Acidosis and Severe Hepatomegaly Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with use of drugs similar to GENVOYA.
Advise patients that they should stop GENVOYA if they develop clinical symptoms suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . Missed Dosage Inform patients that it is important to take GENVOYA on a regular dosing schedule with food and to avoid missing doses as it can result in development of resistance [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Pregnancy Advise patients that GENVOYA is not recommended during pregnancy and to alert their healthcare provider if they become pregnant while taking GENVOYA [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ].
Inform patients that there is an antiretroviral pregnancy registry to monitor fetal outcomes of pregnant individuals exposed to GENVOYA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Lactation Instruct patients with HIV-1 infection not to breastfeed because HIV-1 can be passed to the baby in breast milk [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2) ].
