id="_Delavirdine_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Delavirdine.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Delavirdine is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in combination with other agents in the therapy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Delavirdine is associated with a low rate of transient serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy and is a rare cause of clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Delavirdine.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Delavirdine (del a' vir deen) is an antiretroviral agent that acts by noncompetitive binding to and inhibition of the HIV reverse transcriptase. Delavirdine is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and is similar to nevirapine, efavirenz, etravirine and rilpivirine in its mechanism of action, but shares minimal structural features with the other antiviral agents in this class. Delavirdine in combination with other antiretroviral agents lowers HIV RNA levels and delays onset of AIDS related complications. Delavirdine was approved by the FDA in 1998 and current indications are for the treatment of HIV infection in combination with other HIV medications. Delavirdine is available under the brand name Rescriptor in tablets of 100 and 200 mg. The recommended dose of delavirdine is 400 mg orally three times daily. Because of its requirement for thrice daily dosing, delavirdine is not widely used. Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, headache, and skin rashes.</p></div><div id="Delavirdine.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Serum aminotransferase elevations occur in 25% or more of patients on delavirdine therapy, but rise above 5 times the upper limit of normal in 4% or less; this rate is higher in patients who have chronic hepatitis C coinfection. Clinically apparent hepatotoxicity due to delavirdine must be rare, as individual case reports of hepatitis or jaundice have not been published. Nevertheless, cases of hepatitis, jaundice and hepatic failure have been reported to the sponsor and are mentioned in the product label. The liver injury may be immunoallergic and similar in pattern to that attributed to nevirapine and efavirenz. In immunoallergic hepatitis due to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, injury usually arises within 1 to 8 weeks of starting therapy. Signs of hypersensitivity are common including rash, fever, and eosinophilia and sometimes facial edema, lymphadenoapthy and lymphocytosis. The serum enzyme pattern can be cholestatic, hepatocellular or mixed. Recovery is rapid upon stopping therapy.</p><p>Likelihood score: E* (unproven but suspected cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Delavirdine.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Hepatotoxicity from delavirdine is rare, but is likely due to hypersensitivity. Delavirdine is a substrate for and an inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP 3A4 and can cause significant drug-drug interactions.</p></div><div id="Delavirdine.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The severity of the liver injury due to delavirdine can range from mild and transient enzyme elevations to acute hepatitis with jaundice. Description of cases with acute liver failure leading to liver transplantation or death have not been reported in association with delavirdine. In immunoallergic forms of acute liver injury, rechallenge may lead to recurrence and should be avoided. Despite the similarity in causing immunoallergic hepatitis, there does not seem to be cross sensitivity to the hepatic injury with nevirapine or other nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, although there may be cross reactivity in occurrence of rash.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntiviralAgents/?report=reader">Antiviral Agents</a>, Antiretroviral Agents</p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Doravirine/?report=reader">Doravirine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Efavirenz/?report=reader">Efavirenz</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Etravirine/?report=reader">Etravirine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Nevirapine/?report=reader">Nevirapine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Rilpivirine/?report=reader">Rilpivirine</a></p></div></div><div id="Delavirdine.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Delavirdine_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Delavirdine.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
