Warnings
Contraindications
Strong CYP3A4 inducers
- Coadministered with strong CYP3A inducers, as significant decreases in doravirine plasma concentrations may occur, which may decrease the efficacy of doravirine
- Strong CYP3A inducer examples include carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, enzalutamide, rifampin, rifapentine, mitotane, and St. John’s wort
Cautions
Immune reconstitution syndrome reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy; patients 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 (eg, Grave disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis) reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, time to onset varies and can occur many months after initiation of treatment
Drug interaction overview
- Primarily metabolized by CYP3A; drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A may affect doravirine clearance
- Coadministration with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease systemic exposure and lead to loss of therapeutic effect and possible HIV resistance (see Contraindications and Dosage Modifications)
Pregnancy
Pregnancy
Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263; pregnancy exposure registry monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to doravirine during pregnancy
Data are not available to establish drug-associated risks to pregnancy outcomes
Animal data
- In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when doravirine was administered at exposures ≥8 times the exposure in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD)
Lactation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend HIV-infected women breastfeed their infants, owing to potential risk for postnatal transmission of HIV
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Owing to the potential for HIV transmission (in HIV-negative infants), developing viral resistance (in HIV-positive infants), and adverse reactions in a breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults, instruct women not to breastfeed while taking this medication
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
