What is Rukobia?

Rukobia is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by ViiV Healthcare. Approval was supported by data from the phase III Brighte study.

Rukobia is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120-directed attachment inhibitor. It is used in combination with optimized background therapy (OBT), for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection failing their current antiretroviral regimen due to resistance, intolerance, or safety considerations.

Rukobia does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS, but it may delay damage to the immune system and the development of infections and diseases associated with AIDS. Rukobia is shown to help decrease viral load in some people whose virus is still detectable even after having exhausted many other treatment options.

What doses of Rukobia are available?

Rukobia is available in Extended-release tablet form, in the following doses: 600 mg.

One 600 mg tablet is taken twice daily with or without food. See the full prescribing information for a complete list of significant drug interactions. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Rukobia active ingredients

The active ingredient of Rukobia is fostemsavir an HIV-1 antiretroviral (ARV) agent. Fostemsavirs mechanism of action is a prodrug without significant biochemical or antiviral activity. It is hydrolyzed to the active form temsavir, which is an HIV-1 attachment inhibitor. Temsavir binds directly to the gp120 subunit within the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp160 and selectively inhibits the interaction between the virus with cellular CD4 receptors and T-cells. Temsavir also inhibits gp120-dependent post-attachment steps required for viral entry into host cells.

Rukobia side effects

The most common adverse reaction of Rukobia in clinical trials include:

•  Nausea

In rare instances, Rukobia can cause more serious adverse events. These can include:

• Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapies
• QTc prolongation – treat with caution in patients with a history of QTc prolongation or with pre-existing cardiac disease or who are taking drugs with a known risk of Torsade de Pointes
• Elevations in hepatic transaminases in patients with hepatitis B or C virus co-infection. This was seen in a higher proportion in subjects with HBV and/or HCV co-infection compared to those with HIV mono-infection

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Rukobia against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Rukobia to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
