Rilpivirine (RLP) was developed by Tibotec and is a drug used to treat HIV- infected patients as part of combination therapy for HIV .
Rilvipivirine is a diaryl pyrimidine (DAPY) analog from the group of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).
Compared to the NNRTIs 1st generation rilpivirine has the advantage that it is effective against most strains in which these NNRTIs fail. In addition, studies show significantly fewer side effects of the CNS . Against this background, it is likely that rilpivirine - together with other 2nd generation NNRTIs (e.g. etravirine) - could replace the classic NNRTIs in the future.
Approval as a drug
Rilpivirine was approved by the FDA in the USA under the trade name Edurant in May 2011 , followed by approval for the EU in November 2011 . For the fixed combination with emtricitabine and tenofovir as a once-daily therapy regimen, approvals have been granted under the names Complera (USA, August 2011) and Eviplera (EU, November 2011).
The additional benefit of Edurant on the basis of Section 35a SGB V ( AMNOG ) ( early benefit assessment ) was assessed by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) : According to this, adult patients who have not been previously treated for antiretroviral have a viral load of 100,000 HIV-1 RNA copies for Edurant / ml provided proof of a minor added benefit compared to the ACT ( etravirine ). The added benefit for Eviplera is classified as minor. Compared to the appropriate comparative therapy, there is a moderate improvement in the therapy-relevant benefit, since a relevant avoidance of dermatological and neurological side effects is achieved. The preliminary assessment by the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) had seen a higher additional benefit for the monopreparation.
pharmacology
Rilpivirine belongs to the class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). The active ingredient binds non-competitively to the reverse transcriptase of HIV-I , near the substrate binding site for nucleosides . This blocks the catalytically active binding site. Only a few nucleosides can bind and the polymerization is slowed down significantly.
Resistances
Rilpivirine has the advantage over other NNRTIs that it is effective against most strains that other NNRTIs fail.
Pharmacokinetics
Rilpivirine is subject to oxidative metabolism by the cytochrome P450 system of the liver (especially CYP3A4 ). The terminal half-life of 34 to 55 hours allows a single dose per day. In general, the maximum plasma concentration is reached within 4-5 hours after oral administration. Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inducers can therefore lead to lower plasma concentrations of rilpivirine, which may result in a loss of therapeutic effect. Substances that inhibit CYP3A4 can lead to increased plasma concentrations of rilpivirine. An increased pH value in the stomach (e.g. due to proton pump inhibitors ) is associated with reduced bioavailability . The bioavailability is particularly dependent on the diet: when taken with a protein drink it drops by 50%, when taken without food it drops by 40%. It is therefore recommended to take it 10 minutes after breakfast with bread, butter, jam and cheese / ham.
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)
Decreased plasma concentrations ( effective levels ) of rilpivirine can cause HIV therapy to fail. Regular monitoring of plasma concentrations is therefore recommended.
