Dolutegravir/rilpivirine, the result of a collaboration with ViiV Healthcare, offers a complete daily treatment regimen for virologically suppressed adults living with HIV-1 in a single-pill
CORK, Ireland-Monday, May 21st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorisation for JULUCA® (dolutegravir 50mg [ViiV Healthcare]/rilpivirine 25mg [Janssen Sciences Ireland UC]).1 ViiV Healthcare, as the marketing authorisation holder, will market dolutegravir/rilpivirine in all countries in the European Union and European Economic Area.
Dolutegravir/rilpivirine is the first two-drug regimen, once-daily, single-pill for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adults who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least six months with no history of virological failure and no known or suspected resistance to any non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or integrase inhibitor (INI).1
“The European Commission Decision for dolutegravir/rilpivirine marks a significant milestone in our 25-year commitment to make HIV history,” said Brian Woodfall, VP, Global Head Late Development, Infectious Diseases, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. “At Janssen, the driving force behind our R&D efforts is to advance science and to discover and develop transformational medicines that advance health for humanity. We are proud to be combining our internal science with that of others to ensure optimised and individualised treatment options are available for those living with HIV-1.”
Dolutegravir/rilpivirine combines just two antiretrovirals in a single-pill regimen, reducing the cumulative drug exposure in people living with HIV-1, whilst maintaining the efficacy of traditional three-drug regimens at 48-weeks.2
“Dolutegravir/rilpivirine signifies an evolution in HIV-1 treatment options by combining two antiretrovirals into a once-daily, single-pill. It maintains the efficacy of a three-drug regimen but reduces the number of antiretrovirals, along with their potential toxicities, that virologically suppressed HIV-1 patients have to take and are therefore exposed to in the long-term,” said Dr. Josep M Llibre, Infectious Diseases Dept, University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Badalona, Barcelona.
This approval brings another treatment option to the estimated 810,000 people living with HIV in Europe.3 It follows the Positive Opinion from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) on 22 March 2018.4 Dolutegravir/rilpivirine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 20175 and Health Canada in May 2018.6
Data from two pivotal Phase 3 trials (SWORD-1 and SWORD-2) published in The Lancet,2 showed that the dolutegravir and rilpivirine regimen is non-inferior to three- and four-drug regimens in maintaining virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL) through 48-weeks in virologically supressed adults who are infected with HIV-1, in both pooled and individual analyses of these Phase 3 studies (dolutegravir+rilpivirine 486/513 [95%] current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) 485/511 [95%], [adjusted difference -0.2% (95% confidence interval: -3.0%, 2.5%), pooled analysis]). Participating adults had stable plasma HIV-1 RNA (viral load <50 copies/mL) for 6 months or longer at screening, with no major resistance association mutations to protease inhibitor, nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), NNRTI or INI. Virologic suppression rates were similar between treatment arms at 48 weeks.2
Adverse events were reported by 77% of participants in the dolutegravir+rilpivirine group and 71% in the CAR group. The most commonly reported adverse events were nasopharyngitis (10% dolutegravir+rilpivirine, 10% CAR) and headache (8% dolutegravir+rilpivirine, 5% CAR). Adverse events leading to discontinuation in the dolutegravir+rilpivirine group occurred in 3% of patients and 1% in the CAR group. The safety profiles for dolutegravir and rilpivirine in these studies were consistent with the product labelling for each medicine.2

About HIV
HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV, so once someone has HIV they have it for life. There is no cure for HIV, but effective treatment can control the virus so that people with HIV can enjoy healthy and productive lives.
HIV has largely become a chronic treatable disease with improved access to antiretroviral treatment. This has led to a 22% drop in global HIV mortality between 2009 and 2013,8 but more can be done for the estimated 36.7 million people living with HIV9 of which 160,000 were newly diagnosed in the European region alone in 2016.10
About dolutegravir/rilpivirine
Dolutegravir/rilpivirine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 21 November 20175 and Health Canada on 18 May 20186, as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of dolutegravir/rilpivirine.5
Dolutegravir/rilpivirine is a two-drug regimen, single-pill that combines the INI dolutegravir (50mg), with the NNRTI rilpivirine (25mg) taken once-daily with food as a complete regimen for people living with HIV-1 who are virologically suppressed.1
Two essential steps in the HIV life cycle include reverse transcription – when the virus turns its RNA (ribonucleic acid) copy into DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) – and integration – the moment when viral DNA becomes part of the host cell’s DNA. These processes require two enzymes called nucleoside reverse transcriptase and integrase. NNRTIs and INSTIs interfere with the action of these two enzymes to prevent the virus from replicating. This decrease in replication can lead to less virus being available to cause subsequent infection of uninfected cells.
ViiV Healthcare has also submitted regulatory marketing applications in other countries worldwide.
About the SWORD phase 3 programme for dolutegravir (Tivicay▼)11 and rilpivirine (EDURANT®)12
The SWORD phase 3 clinical trial programme evaluates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching to dolutegravir plus rilpivirine from current integrase inhibitor-, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-, or protease inhibitor (+2 NRTI)-based antiretroviral regimen in HIV-1-infected adults who are virologically suppressed with a three or four-drug regimen. SWORD-1 (NCT02429791) and SWORD-2 (NCT02422797) are replicate 148-week, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority studies to assess the antiviral activity and safety of a two-drug, once-daily oral regimen of dolutegravir plus rilpivirine compared with current antiretroviral therapy (full 148-week data will be shared in 2019). In the SWORD clinical trials, dolutegravir and rilpivirine are provided as individual tablets.2
The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per millilitre (c/mL) at 48-weeks (intention to treat analysis). Key secondary endpoints include evaluation of the development of viral resistance, measurements of safety and tolerability, and changes in renal, bone and cardiovascular biomarkers. The studies also include exploratory measures to assess change in health-related quality of life, willingness to switch and adherence to treatment regimens.2
