1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Atazanavir capsule is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and in pediatric patients 6 years and older weighing at least 15 kg.

Limitations of Use: Atazanavir capsules are not recommended for use in pediatric patients below the age of 3 months due to the risk of kernicterus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ].

Use of atazanavir capsules with ritonavir in treatment-experienced patients should be guided by the number of baseline primary protease inhibitor resistance substitutions [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .

6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the 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.

Adverse Reactions in Treatment-Naive Adult Participants The safety profile of atazanavir in treatment-naive adults is based on 1625 participants with HIV-1 in clinical trials.

536 participants received atazanavir 300 mg with ritonavir 100 mg and 1089 participants received atazanavir 400 mg or higher (without ritonavir).

The most common adverse reactions were nausea, jaundice/scleral icterus, and rash.

Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Participants with HIV-1: Atazanavir Capsules The safety and tolerability of atazanavir capsules with and without ritonavir have been established in pediatric participants with HIV-1, at least 6 years of age from the open-label, multicenter clinical trial PACTG 1020A.

The safety profile of atazanavir in pediatric participants with HIV-1 (6 to less than 18 years of age) taking the capsule formulation was generally similar to that observed in clinical studies of atazanavir in adults.

The most common Grade 2 to 4 adverse events (≥5%, regardless of causality) reported in pediatric participants were cough (21%), fever (18%), jaundice/scleral icterus (15%), rash (14%), vomiting (12%), diarrhea (9%), headache (8%), peripheral edema (7%), extremity pain (6%), nasal congestion (6%), oropharyngeal pain (6%), wheezing (6%), and rhinorrhea (6%).

Asymptomatic second-degree atrioventricular block was reported in <2% of participants.

The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities occurring in pediatric participants taking the capsule formulation were elevation of total bilirubin (≥3.2 mg/dL, 58%), neutropenia (9%), and hypoglycemia (4%).

All other Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities occurred with a frequency of less than 3%.

Adverse Reactions in Participants with HIV-1 and Hepatitis B and/or Hepatitis C Virus In Study AI424-138, 60 participants administered atazanavir 300 mg with ritonavir 100 mg once daily, and 51 participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir 400 mg/100 mg (as fixed-dose product) twice daily, each with fixed-dose tenofovir DF/emtricitabine, were seropositive for hepatitis B and/or C at study entry.

ALT levels >5 times ULN developed in 10% (6/60) of the participants administered atazanavir with ritonavir and 8% (4/50) of the participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir.

AST levels >5 times ULN developed in 10% (6/60) of the participants administered atazanavir with ritonavir and none (0/50) of the participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir.

In Study AI424-045, 20 participants administered atazanavir 300 mg with ritonavir 100 mg once daily, and 18 participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir 400 mg/100 mg twice daily (as fixed-dose product), were seropositive for hepatitis B and/or C at study entry.

ALT levels >5 times ULN developed in 25% (5/20) of the participants administered atazanavir with ritonavir and 6% (1/18) of the participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir treated.

AST levels >5 times ULN developed in 10% (2/20) of the participants administered atazanavir with ritonavir and 6% (1/18) of the participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir.

In Studies AI424-008 and AI424-034, 74 participants treated with atazanavir 400 mg once daily, 58 who received efavirenz, and 12 who received nelfinavir were seropositive for hepatitis B and/or C at study entry.

ALT levels >5 times ULN developed in 15% of the participants treated with atazanavir, 14% of the participants treated with efavirenz, and 17% of the participants treated with nelfinavir.

AST levels >5 times ULN developed in 9% of the participants treated with atazanavir, 5% of the participants treated with efavirenz, and 17% of the participants treated with nelfinavir.

Within atazanavir and control regimens, no difference in frequency of bilirubin elevations was noted between seropositive and seronegative participants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] .

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following events have been identified during postmarketing use of atazanavir.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Body as a Whole: edema Cardiovascular System: second-degree AV block, third-degree AV block, left bundle branch block, QTc prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Gastrointestinal System: pancreatitis Hepatic System: hepatic function abnormalities Hepatobiliary Disorders: cholelithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] , cholecystitis, cholestasis Metabolic System and Nutrition Disorders: diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] Musculoskeletal System: arthralgia Renal System: nephrolithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] , interstitial nephritis, granulomatous interstitial nephritis, chronic kidney disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Skin and Appendages: alopecia, maculopapular rash [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] , pruritus, angioedema
