Update to:
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Minor correction to Renal Impairment statement (page 6 of SPC)
Renal impairment: Atripla is not recommended for patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min).
In previous SPC update this read (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min) which was incorrect.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation – in particular the efavirenz section
1)
Women of childbearing potential: see below and section 5.3. Pregnancy should be avoided in women receiving Atripla. Women of childbearing potential should undergo pregnancy testing before initiation of Atripla.
2)
Pregnancy
Efavirenz: As of July 2010, the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) has received prospective reports of 718 pregnancies with first-trimester exposure to efavirenz-containing regimens, resulting in 604 live births. One child was reported to have a neural tube defect, and the frequency and pattern of other birth defects were similar to those seen in children exposed to non‑efavirenz‑containing regimens, as well as those in HIV negative controls. The incidence of neural tube defects in the general population ranges from 0.5‑1 case per 1,000 live births. In retrospective reports, there have been six cases of findings consistent with neural tube defects including meningomyelocele, all in mothers exposed to efavirenz‑containing regimens in the first trimester. A causal relationship of these events to the use of efavirenz has not been established and the total number of pregnant women exposed to efavirenz-containing regimens is unknown. As neural tube defects occur within the first 4 weeks of foetal development (at which time neural tubes are sealed), this potential risk would concern women exposed to efavirenz during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Malformations have been observed in foetuses from efavirenz-treated monkeys (see section 5.3).
3)
Atripla should not be used during pregnancy unless the clinical condition of the woman requires treatment with efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

The following is a summary of main amendments/inclusions to the:
SPC:
- Section 3 - Pink, capsule‑shaped, film‑coated tablet, of dimensions 20 mm x 10.4 mm, debossed with “123” on one side, plain on the other side.
- Section 4.1 – Update to indication statement to: ‘Atripla is a fixed‑dose combination of efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. It is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus‑1 (HIV‑1) infection in adults aged 18 years and over with virologic suppression to HIV‑1 RNA levels…….’
- Section 4.2 – additional statements for the Posology section - inclusion of paragraphs describing what to do when a dose of Atripla is missed or when a patient vomits within an hour of taking the tablet and amendment to statements on discontinuation of therapy.
- Section 4.4 – Inclusion of statement: ‘Bone: In a 144‑week controlled clinical study that compared tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with stavudine in combination with lamivudine and efavirenz in antiretroviral‑naïve patients, small decreases in bone mineral density of the hip and spine were observed in both treatment groups. Decreases in bone mineral density of spine and changes in bone biomarkers from baseline were significantly greater in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate treatment group at 144 weeks. Decreases in bone mineral density of the hip were significantly greater in this group until 96 weeks. However, there was no increased risk of fractures or evidence for clinically relevant bone abnormalities over 144 weeks.’
Bone abnormalities (infrequently contributing to fractures) may be associated with proximal renal tubulopathy (see section 4.8). If bone abnormalities are suspected then appropriate consultation should be obtained.
- Section 4.6 – Now titled ‘Fertility, pregnancy and lactation’ – within this section amendments to the Pregnancy, Breast-feeding & Fertility statements: including:
Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: A moderate amount of data on pregnant women (between 300‑1,000 pregnancy outcomes) indicate no malformations or foetal/neonatal toxicity associated with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Animal studies on emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate do not indicate reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3).
Atripla should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary (there are no other appropriate treatment options).
Breast‑feeding
Emtricitabine and tenofovir have been shown to be excreted in human milk. There is insufficient information on the effects of emtricitabine and tenofovir in newborns/infants. Studies in rats have demonstrated that efavirenz is excreted in milk; concentrations of efavirenz were much higher than those in maternal plasma. Therefore Atripla should not be used during breast-feeding.
As a general rule, it is recommended that HIV infected women do not breast-feed their infants in order to avoid transmission of HIV to the infant.
Fertility
No human data on the effect of Atripla are available. Animal studies do not indicate harmful effects of efavirenz, emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate on fertility.
- Section 5.1 - Inclusion of statement ‘Paediatric population: The safety and efficacy of Atripla in children under the age of 18 years have not been established.’
- Section 5.2 – Inclusion of statements on Gender, Ethnicity and paediatric populations
- Section 5.3 – Inclusion of information on pre-clinical safety data

Statement regarding demonstration of benefit being based on 48-week data rather than 24-week data.
Section 4.4
Addition of the following statements:
- Currently available data indicate a trend that in patients on a PI‑based antiretroviral regimen the switch to Atripla may lead to a reduction of the response to the therapy (see section 5.1). These patients should be carefully monitored for rises in viral load and, since the safety profile of efavirenz differs from that of protease inhibitors, for adverse reactions.
- Atripla should not be administered concomitantly with adefovir dipivoxil.
- Bone abnormalities (infrequently contributing to fractures) may be associated with proximal renal tubulopathy (see section 4.8).
Update to the section on co-infection with HBV or HCV.
Section 4.5
Updated to include adefovir dipivoxil.
Section 4.8
Extensive changes made to the information at the beginning of the section relating to adverse reactions reported in the 48 week study AI266073 including the addition of a new table (Table 2) for this study and subsequent renumbering of later tables.
The following statement added under Adverse reactions associated with individual components of Atripla
- The most notable adverse reactions that have been reported in clinical studies with efavirenz are rash and nervous system symptoms. The administration of efavirenz with food may increase efavirenz exposure and may lead to an increase in the frequency of adverse reactions (see section 4.4). There have been post-marketing reports in association with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate of renal and urinary disorders including renal failure, proximal tubulopathy (including Fanconi syndrome), acute tubular necrosis and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
The following adverse reactions added:
- Cerebellar coordination and balance disturbances, rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia (manifested as bone pain and infrequently contributing to fractures), muscular weakness, hypokalaemia, hepatic steatosis, (all frequency not known)
The following statement has also been added:
The following adverse reactions, listed under the body system headings above, may occur as a consequence of proximal renal tubulopathy: rhabdomyolysis, osteomalacia (manifested as bone pain and infrequently contributing to fractures), hypokalaemia, muscular weakness, myopathy and hypophosphataemia. These events are not considered to be causally associated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy in the absence of proximal renal tubulopathy.
Section 5.1
In vivo resistance updated from none to extremely limited
The Clinical experience information relating to Study AI266073 has been extensively updated to reflect the 48-week data rather than 24-week data.
