id="_Bictegravir_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Bictegravir.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Bictegravir is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase strand transfer inhibitor, the fourth in this class of agents that target the viral integrase. Bictegravir is used only in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV infection and it has had limited use. Bictegravir is associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy, but has not been linked to instances of acute, clinically apparent liver injury.</p></div><div id="Bictegravir.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Bictegravir (bic teg' ra vir) is a relatively new antiretroviral drug that targets the HIV integrase, one of the three viral enzymes involved in replication. Bictegravir blocks the binding site of the HIV integrase and prevents the strand transfer activity and integration of the provirus into the host genome. Bictegravir has both in vitro and in vivo activity against HIV, and several randomized controlled trials have shown that it in combination with other antiretroviral agents can cause significant declines in HIV RNA levels and rises in peripheral CD4 T cell counts, demonstrating non-inferiority to established combination antiretroviral regimens of proven efficacy. Bictegravir (50 mg) in a fixed combination with emtricitabine (200 mg) and tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg) under the brand name Biktarvy was approved for use in HIV infection in the United States in 2018 and is currently used in an increasing proportion of antiretroviral regimens. The recommended dose is one tablet daily. Unlike the other integrase strand transfer inhibitors, bictegravir has not been marketed by itself to allow combination with other antiretroviral agents. Combination of Biktarvy with other antiretroviral agents is not recommended nor its use in patients with severe renal or liver dysfunction. While generally well tolerated, bictegravir therapy may be accompanied by diarrhea, headache, nausea and fever.</p></div><div id="Bictegravir.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In large clinical trials, therapy with bictegravir combined with emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide was associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations (above 1.5 times ULN) in 11% patients, but these rates were similar to those in comparator groups (12% to 15%) receiving matched background optimized antiretroviral therapy without bictegravir. Elevations above 5 times ULN occurred in only 1.4% of bictegravir vs 0.9% to 1.3% of control comparator arm subjects. The elevations were not associated with clinical symptoms and generally did not require dose modification. In addition, there were no instances of acute hepatocellular liver injury with jaundice. The product label for bictegravir mentions acute exacerbations of hepatitis B and hepatic failure as potential adverse reactions when bictegravir with emtricitabine and tenofovir is discontinued. This adverse reaction can occur upon discontinuation of any antiretroviral regimen with concurrent activity against HBV and represents the effects of tenofovir and emtricitabine. Nevertheless, since its approval and its more widescale use, there have been no published reports of clinically apparent cases of liver injury or exacerbation of hepatitis B convincingly attributed to bictegravir.</p><p>Likelihood score: E* (unproven but suspected potential cause of liver injury).</p></div><div id="Bictegravir.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which bictegravir might cause liver injury is not known. Bictegravir is metabolized by the liver, largely by glucuronidation with subsequent urinary clearance. Bictegravir has little or no effect on microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes. Reconstitution of immune reactivity by antiretroviral therapy in patients with an underlying chronic hepatitis B or C can be associated with a transient flare of hepatitis. Discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy with concurrent activity against HBV can cause severe exacerbations of hepatitis B.</p></div><div id="Bictegravir.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>If bictegravir hepatotoxicity occurs, it must be rare. Bictegravir has not been linked to cases of acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis or vanishing bile duct syndrome. Patients receiving antiviral therapy for HIV infection should be screened for evidence of hepatitis B and C and treated accordingly.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntiviralAgents/?report=reader">Antiviral Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Cabotegravir/?report=reader">Cabotegravir</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Dolutegravir/?report=reader">Dolutegravir</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Elvitegravir_Cobicis/?report=reader">Elvitegravir</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Raltegravir/?report=reader">Raltegravir</a></p></div></div><div id="Bictegravir.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Bictegravir_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
