Anticoagulants/Antiplatelet Agents & ARVs

Drug-drug Interactions between Anticoagulants/Antiplatelet Agents and ARVs

DDI between Anticoagulants/Antiplatelet Agents and ARVs 2024

Colour Legend from EACS v10.1 2020

Legend
↑     Potential elevated exposure of the anticoagulant/
       antiplatelet agent
↓     Potential decreased exposure of the anticoagulant/
       antiplatelet agent
↔   No significant effect
D    Potential decreased exposure of ARV drug
E    Potential elevated exposure of ARV drug

Numbers refer to increased or decreased AUC as observed in drug-drug interaction studies

ATV/c:
ATV co-formulated with COBI (300/150 mg qd)

DRV/c:
DRV co-formulated with COBI (800/150 mg qd)

CAB/RPV:
CAB and RPV im long acting injections

Interactions with ABC, FTC, 3TC, ZDV
ABC:
May potentially reduce the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel

FTC, 3TC, ZDV:
No clinically relevant interactions expected

Interactions with cabotegravir (oral)
None

Interactions with ibalizumab
None

Comments

  1. US label suggests to use apixaban at a reduced dose (2.5 mg bid) if needed.
  2. Both drugs can potentially prolong the QT interval, ECG monitoring recommended.
  3. LEN is not considered to be a meaningful inhibitor of P-gp. No a priori dose adjustment of betrixaban, dabigatran or edoxaban is needed. However, monitoring for increased side effects is recommended.
  4. US label recommends to use a reduced initial betrixaban dose of 80 mg followed by 40 mg qd.
  5. Dabigatran should be reduced to 100 mg bid in persons with normal renal function and to 75 mg bid in case of moderate renal impairment. Co-administration should be avoided in case of severe renal impairment.
  6. No significant increase in DRV/r exposure when administered simultaneously with dabigatran in persons with no renal impairment.
  7. European label advises to consider a dose reduction of edoxaban from 60 mg to 30 mg, however, US label recommends no dose modification.
  8. Unboosted ATV predicted to increase the anticoagulant. Monitor INR and adjust the anticoagulant dosage accordingly.
  9. Decreased conversion to active metabolite leading to non-responsiveness to clopidogrel. An alternative to clopidogrel should be considered.
  10. Increase in amount of active metabolite via induction of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6.
  11. Unboosted ATV predicted to increase dipyridamole exposure due to UGT1A1 inhibition.
  12. Reduced active metabolite, but without a significant reduction in prasugrel activity.

EFV prolonged the QT interval above the regulatory threshold of concern in homozygous carriers of the CYP2B6*6/*6 allele (516T variant). Coadministration with a drug with a known risk of TdP is contraindicated in the EFV European label.

^ LEN causes moderate inhibition of CYP3A4 and, when discontinued, remains in the circulation for prolonged periods. Residual concentrations of LEN may affect the exposure of sensitive CYP3A4 substrates and/or narrow therapeutic index drugs that are initiated within 9 months after the last subcutaneous dose of LEN.
