Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE CIMDUO ® (lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg.
CIMDUO is a two-drug combination of lamivudine (3TC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), both nucleo(t)side reverse transcriptase inhibitors and is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed in 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.
Lamivudine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Treatment-Naïve Patients Study 903 - Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions seen in a double-blind comparative controlled study in which 600 treatment-naïve subjects received TDF (N = 299) or stavudine (d4T) (N = 301) in combination with 3TC and EFV for 144 weeks were mild to moderate gastrointestinal events and dizziness.
Mild adverse reactions (Grade 1) were common with a similar incidence in both arms, and included dizziness, diarrhea, and nausea.
Selected moderate to severe adverse reactions are summarized in Table 1.
Table 1.
Selected Adverse Reactions Frequencies of adverse reactions are based on all treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of relationship to study drug.

1% 5% Anxiety 6% 6% Respiratory Pneumonia 5% 5% Skin and Appendages Rash event Rash event includes rash, pruritus, maculopapular rash, urticaria, vesiculobullous rash, and pustular rash.
18% 12% Laboratory Abnormalities With the exception of fasting cholesterol and fasting triglyceride elevations that were more common in the stavudine group (40% and 9%) compared with TDF (19% and 1%) respectively, laboratory abnormalities observed in this study occurred with similar frequency in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and stavudine treatment arms.
A summary of Grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities is provided in Table 2.

Grade 3/4 Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in ≥ 1% of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Treated Subjects in Study 903 (0-144 Weeks) TDF + 3TC + EFV d4T + 3TC + EFV N = 299 N = 301 Any ≥ Grade 3 Laboratory Abnormality 36% 42% Fasting Cholesterol (> 240 mg/dL) 19% 40% Creatine Kinase (M: > 990 U/L; F: > 845 U/L) 12% 12% Serum Amylase (> 175 U/L) 9% 8% AST (M: > 180 U/L; F: > 170 U/L) 5% 7% ALT (M: > 215 U/L; F: > 170 U/L) 4% 5% Hematuria (> 100 RBC/HPF) 7% 7% Neutrophils (< 750/mm 3 ) 3% 1% Fasting Triglycerides (> 750 mg/dL) 1% 9% Pancreatitis Pancreatitis, which has been fatal in some cases, has been observed in antiretroviral nucleoside-experienced pediatric subjects receiving 3TC alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ].
Changes in Bone Mineral Density In HIV-1-infected adult subjects in Study 903, there was a significantly greater mean percentage decrease from baseline in BMD at the lumbar spine in subjects receiving TDF + 3TC + EFV (-2.2% ± 3.9) compared with subjects receiving d4T + 3TC + EFV (-1.0% ± 4.6) through 144 weeks.
Changes in BMD at the hip were similar between the two treatment groups (-2.8% ± 3.5 in the TDF group vs.
-2.4% ± 4.5 in the d4T group).
In both groups, the majority of the reduction in BMD occurred in the first 24-48 weeks of the trial and this reduction was sustained through Week 144.
Twenty-eight percent of TDF-treated subjects vs.
21% of the d4T-treated subjects lost at least 5% of BMD at the spine or 7% of BMD at the hip.
Clinically relevant fractures (excluding fingers and toes) were reported in 4 subjects in the TDF group and 6 subjects in the d4T group.
In addition, there were significant increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism (serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum osteocalcin, serum C telopeptide, and urinary N telopeptide) and higher serum parathyroid hormone levels and 1,25 Vitamin D levels in the TDF group relative to the d4T group; however, except for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, these changes resulted in values that remained within the normal range [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] .
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use for each of the individual components of CIMDUO (3TC and TDF).
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.
These reactions have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to 3TC and TDF.
