The safety profile of APRETUDE was established in >1600 cisgender women at risk of acquiring HIV-1 in HPTN 084. The information below gives an overview of the adverse reactions of APRETUDE as observed in HPTN 084, including treatment-related adverse reactions, discontinuation rates due to adverse reactions, and injection-site reactions (ISRs).
HPTN 084 Adverse Reactions
Safety profile established in >1600 participants in HPTN 084
Adverse drug reactions* of all grades reported in at least 1% of participants receiving APRETUDE
1% of participants receiving APRETUDE and 1% of participants receiving TDF/FTC discontinued due to adverse events (all causality).
*Adverse reactions defined as "treatment related" as assessed by the investigator, with the exception of ISRs, where all ISRs were reported regardless of causality.
†Participants who received injection: APRETUDE (n=1519) and TDF/FTC (n=1516).
‡Fatigue includes fatigue and malaise.
§Abdominal pain includes abdominal pain and upper abdominal pain.
||Rash includes rash, erythema, pruritus, macular, papular, and maculopapular.
¶Sleep disorders include insomnia and abnormal dreams.
TDF/FTC=tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine.
The most common local injection-site reaction was pain/tenderness
- 38% of participants in the APRETUDE arm experienced at least 1 ISR, most of which were characterized as mild to moderate
- The majority (>99%) were Grade 1 or 2 with <1% of participants experiencing Grade 3 and no Grade 4 reactions reported
- The median duration was 8 days
- No participants receiving APRETUDE discontinued due to ISRs
#Participants in the TDF/FTC arm received placebo injections (matching vehicle, identical volume) during the double-blind phase of the study.1
Grade 1=mild; Grade 2=moderate; Grade 3=severe; Grade 4=a potentially life-threatening event.
