Administration
Oral Administration

Take with food.

Oral Solid Formulations

Oral pellets
Do not open the pellet packets until ready to use; shake the pellet packet gently to settle the pellets.
Mix thoroughly the appropriate number of oral pellet packets for the dose in a container with a small amount (5 to 10 mL) of soft food with a low water content (e.g., peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, cream cheese, thick jam, or Greek yogurt) that will stick to a spoon and can be swallowed without chewing. Liquids or foods that would drip or slide off the spoon are not recommended as the drug may dissolve quickly and become less effective.
Administer the entire mixture of food and oral pellets within 15 minutes of preparation; do not crush or chew the oral pellets as the mixture will taste bitter. Add more food to the container and mix if any pellets are remaining.
Give a snack or meal after each medication dose.
Do not store any leftover mixture for use at a later time. Throw away any unused portion.

Boxed Warning
Hepatitis B exacerbation

Use of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), such as glecaprevir and pibrentasvir, to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients currently or previously infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been associated with reactivation and hepatitis B exacerbation. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death. Hepatitis B reactivation has also occurred in patients receiving certain immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic medications; the risk of HBV reactivation associated with DAA treatment may be increased in these patients. HBV reactivation is characterized as an abrupt increase in viral replication manifesting as a rapid increase in serum HBV DNA concentration. In patients with resolved HBV infection, the reappearance of HBsAg can occur. Reactivation of HBV replication may be accompanied by hepatitis (i.e., increases in aminotransferase concentrations) and, in severe cases, increases in bilirubin concentrations, liver failure, and death can occur. To decrease the risk of reactivating an HBV infection, screen all potential drug recipients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection by measuring the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc). For those patients whose screening reveals serologic evidence of HBV infection, a baseline HBV DNA concentration should be obtained prior to starting glecaprevir; pibrentasvir. Continue to monitor coinfected patients during and after treatment for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis B exacerbation (i.e., HBsAg, HBV DNA, hepatic enzymes, bilirubin). In addition, instruct patients to immediately report any signs of liver toxicity (e.g., yellow eyes or skin, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or light-colored stools) to their health care provider. If a glecaprevir; pibrentasvir recipient develops signs of HBV reactivation, initiate appropriate treatment for HBV infection as clinically indicated.

Mechanism Of Action

Glecaprevir; pibrentasvir is active against chronic infections caused by genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hepatitis C virus (HCV). Glecaprevir is an HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor. Pibrentasvir is an HCV NS5A inhibitor.
Glecaprevir: Glecaprevir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A protease, which is necessary for the proteolytic cleavage of the HCV encoded polyprotein (into mature forms of the NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B proteins) and is essential for viral replication.
In cell cultures, decreased susceptibility to glecaprevir was demonstrated in HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a, 4a, and 6a with the emergence of amino acid substitutions at NS3 positions A156 and D/Q168. NS3 substitution at A156 conferred a greater than 100-fold reduction in glecaprevir susceptibility. NS3 substitutions conferring a greater than 30-fold reduction in glecaprevir susceptibility included D168F/Y in genotype 1a, Q168R in genotype 3a, and D168A/G/H/V/Y in genotype 6a. Combinations of these substitutions often resulted in greater reductions in susceptibility than single substitutions alone. An NS3 Q80R substitution in genotype 3a caused a 21-fold reduction in glecaprevir susceptibility; Q80 substitutions in genotypes 1a and 1b did not reduce glecaprevir susceptibility. Individual amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to other HCV protease inhibitors at other positions (i.e., 36, 43, 54, 55, 56, 155, 166, or 170) in NS3 generally did not show reduced susceptibility to glecaprevir. Cross-resistance is possible between glecaprevir and other HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors; cross-resistance is not expected with sofosbuvir, pegylated interferon, or ribavirin.
 
Pibrentasvir: Pibrentasvir prevents hepatitis C viral replication by inhibiting the HCV NS5A protein. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, data suggest NS5A inhibitors may prevent replication by blocking viral hyperphosphorylation. It has been proposed that tight control of phosphorylation versus hyperphosphorylation is needed for efficient viral function.
In cell cultures, decreased susceptibility to pibrentasvir was demonstrated in HCV genotypes 1a, 2a, and 3a following the emergence of amino acid substitutions at known NS5A inhibitor-resistance-associated positions, including Q30D/deletion, Y93D/H/N or H58D + Y93H in genotype 1a, F28S + M31I or P29S + K30G in genotype 2a, and Y93H in genotype 3a. Most individual NS5A amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to other HCV NS5A inhibitors at positions 24, 28, 30, 31, 58, 92, or 93 did not show reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir; however, reduced pibrentasvir susceptibility was observed with M28G and Q30D in genotype 1a (244- and 94-fold, respectively) and P32-deletion in genotype 1b (1,036-fold). Combinations of these substitutions may result in greater reductions in susceptibility than single substitutions alone. Decreased susceptibility to pibrentasvir has also been observed with genotype 3b. In the presence of naturally occurring polymorphisms, K30 and M31 in NS5A, the susceptibility of a genotype 3b replicon to pibrentasvir is reduced by 24-fold relative to the drug's activity in a genotype 3a replicon. When an NS5A Y93H substitution was introduced into genotype 3b, susceptibility was further reduced 6,336-fold. Cross-resistance is possible between pibrentasvir and other HCV NS5A inhibitors; cross-resistance is not expected with sofosbuvir, pegylated interferon, or ribavirin.

Pharmacokinetics

Glecaprevir; pibrentasvir is administered orally.
Glecaprevir: Following administration, approximately 98% is bound to plasma protein. Metabolism is primarily via the biliary-fecal route, with secondary metabolism via hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A. Most of the drug is excreted in the feces (92%), with only 0.7% of the dose excreted in the urine. The elimination half-life is approximately 6 hours.
Pibrentasvir: Following administration, more than 99% is bound to plasma protein. Metabolism is via the biliary-fecal route with approximately 97% of the drug excreted in the feces; no drug is excreted in the urine. The elimination half-life is approximately 13 hours.
 
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/3
Both glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are substrates and inhibitors of the drug transporters P-gp and BCRP. Glecaprevir is also partially metabolized by CYP3A and is a substrate of OATP1B1/3; both drugs are inhibitors of OATP1B1/3. Coadministration of glecaprevir; pibrentasvir with drugs that inhibit P-gp, BRCP, or OATP1B1/3 may increase the plasma concentrations of glecaprevir and/or pibrentasvir. Coadministration of glecaprevir; pibrentasvir with drugs that induce P-gp/CYP3A may decrease glecaprevir and pibrentasvir concentrations. Coadministration of glecaprevir; pibrentasvir with drugs that are substrates of P-gp, BRCP, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3 may increase plasma concentrations of those drugs. Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are weak inhibitors of CYP3A, CYP1A2, and uridine glucuronosyltransferase (UGT); however, significant drug interactions are not expected when glecaprevir; pibrentasvir is coadministered with substrates of CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, UGT1A1, or UGT1A4.

Oral Route

For pellets relative to tablets in healthy adult subjects under non-fasting conditions, geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir Cmax were 0.664 and 1.137, respectively. GMRs for AUCinf were 0.795 and 1.219, respectively. These differences were not considered clinically significant.

Relative to healthy subjects, pibrentasvir Cmax and AUC were 63% and 34% lower, respectively, in HCV-infected subjects without cirrhosis. Administration with food increases the mean systemic exposure by 40% to 53% relative to fasting.
Oral pellets
Glecaprevir: After oral administration, peak plasma concentrations are reached at approximately 3 hours. Administration with food increases the mean systemic exposure by 131% to 167% relative to fasting.
Pibrentasvir: After oral administration, peak plasma concentrations are reached at approximately 5 hours. Administration with food increases the mean systemic exposure by 56% to 114% relative to fasting.

Pregnancy And Lactation
Pregnancy

No adequate, well-controlled studies have been conducted with glecaprevir; pibrentasvir in human pregnancy, and it is unknown whether glecaprevir; pibrentasvir poses a risk to the developing fetus. In animal studies, no adverse effects on embryo-fetal development and pre/postnatal development were identified in rats (glecaprevir) and mice and rabbits (pibrentasvir) exposed to doses higher than the recommended human dose.

It is unknown if glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are excreted in human milk, affect milk production, or have an adverse effect on nursing infants. Animal studies showed that both components were present in milk, without an effect on growth and development in the nursing animal. Consider the benefits of breast-feeding, the risk of infant drug exposure, and the risk of an untreated or inadequately treated condition.
