Hypersensitivity to enfuvirtide or any component of the formulation
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Hypersensitivity reactions: May cause hypersensitivity reactions (symptoms may include rash, fever, nausea, vomiting, chills, rigors, hypotension, and/or elevated liver transaminases). Additionally, immune mediated reactions (eg, glomerulonephritis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, primary immune complex reaction, respiratory distress) have been reported. Discontinue therapy immediately if systemic reactions occur; do not rechallenge patient.
• Immune reconstitution syndrome: Patients may develop immune reconstitution syndrome resulting in the occurrence of an inflammatory response to an indolent or residual opportunistic infection during initial HIV treatment or activation of autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves’ disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) later in therapy; further evaluation and treatment may be required.
• Injection site reactions: Local injection site reactions are common. Administration using a needle-free device has been associated with nerve pain (including neuralgia and/or paresthesia lasting up to 6 months), bruising, and hematomas when administered at sites where large nerves are close to the skin; only administer medication in recommended sites.
• Pneumonia: Monitor closely for signs/symptoms of pneumonia; associated with an increased incidence during clinical trials, particularly in patients with a low CD4 cell count, high initial viral load, IV drug use, smoking, or a history of lung disease.
Disease-related concerns:
• Bleeding disorders: Use with caution in patients with coagulation disorders (eg, hemophilia) or receiving anticoagulants; increased risk of bleeding at injection site.
• Appropriate use: Use is not recommended in antiretroviral therapy-naive patients.

SubQ: Bring refrigerated reconstituted vials to room temperature before injection and visually inspect vial again; solution should be clear, colorless, and without particulate matter or bubbles.
Inject SubQ into upper arm, abdomen, or anterior thigh. Do not inject IM (severity of reactions is increased). Do not inject into skin abnormalities including directly over a blood vessel, into moles, bruises, scar tissue, near the navel, surgical scars, burn sites, or tattoos. Do not inject in or near sites where large nerves are close to the skin including near the elbow, knee, groin, and inferior or medial sections of the buttocks. Rotate injection site (ie, give injections at a site different from the preceding injection site); do not inject into any site where an injection site reaction is present. After injection, apply heat or ice to injection site or gently massage area to better disperse the dose, to minimize local injection reactions (Ref); discard unused portion of the vial (vial is for single use only).
SubQ: Inject subcutaneously into upper arm, abdomen, or anterior thigh. Do not inject into moles, the navel, over a blood vessel or skin abnormalities such as scar tissue, surgical scars, bruises, tattoos, or burn sites. In addition, do not inject in or near sites where large nerves are close to the skin including the elbow, knee, groin, or buttocks. Rotate injection site, give injections at a site different from the preceding injection site; do not inject into any site where an injection site reaction is evident. Bioequivalence was found to be similar in a study comparing standard administration using a needle versus a needle-free device (Ref).
Store intact vials at 25°C (77°F); excursions are permitted between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). Store reconstituted solution in the original vial at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F); use within 24 hours. Vials are for single use only; discard unused portion.
Treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents in treatment-experienced patients who are failing current antiretroviral therapy (FDA approved in pediatric patients weighing ≥11 kg and adults). Note: HIV regimens consisting of 3 antiretroviral agents from at least 2 classes are strongly recommended. Although FDA approved, contemporary use is uncommon secondary to availability of more preferable options. It is not recommended as initial therapy in patients who are antiretroviral naive (HHS [pediatric] 2018).

Contraception is not required to initiate or continue antiretroviral therapy.
The Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend enfuvirtide (except in special circumstances) for patients with HIV who are not yet pregnant but are trying to conceive.
Maximum viral suppression sustained below the limits of detection prior to conception is recommended for all persons with HIV who are planning a pregnancy. Optimization of the health of the person who will become pregnant is recommended. Selection of or changes to a specific antiretroviral regimen prior to pregnancy should be done as part of a shared decision-making process. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender diverse people assigned female sex at birth.
Health care providers caring for couples planning a pregnancy when one or both partners are diagnosed with HIV may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2023).
Enfuvirtide has minimal to low transfer across the human placenta.
Outcome information specific to enfuvirtide use in pregnancy is no longer being reviewed and updated in the Health and Humans Services (HHS) Perinatal Guidelines. The HHS perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend enfuvirtide as initial therapy for pregnant patients with HIV; enfuvirtide is not recommended (except in special circumstances) in pregnant patients who have had antiretroviral therapy (ART) therapy in the past but are restarting, or who require a new ART regimen (due to poor tolerance or poor virologic response of current regimen). Patients who become pregnant while taking enfuvirtide may continue if viral suppression is effective and the regimen is well tolerated.
Maternal ART may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age infants. Actual risks may be influenced by maternal factors, such as disease severity, gestational age at initiation of therapy, and specific ART regimen; therefore, close fetal monitoring is recommended. Because there is clear benefit to appropriate treatment, maternal ART should not be withheld due to concerns for adverse neonatal outcomes. Long-term follow-up is recommended for all infants exposed to antiretroviral medications; children not diagnosed with HIV but who were exposed to ART in utero or as a neonate and develop significant organ system abnormalities of unknown etiology (particularly of the CNS or heart) should be evaluated for potential metabolic dysfunction.
ART is recommended for all pregnant people with HIV to maximize their health, maintain the viral load below the limit of detection and reduce the risk of perinatal transmission. Selection of or changes to a specific antiretroviral regimen during pregnancy should be done as part of a shared decision-making process. Patients on fully suppressive regimens prior to pregnancy generally may continue the same regimen considering known pregnancy outcomes and pharmacokinetic data. Monitoring of patients who are pregnant is more frequent than in patients who are not pregnant. ART initiated during pregnancy can be modified after delivery. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender diverse people assigned female sex at birth.
Data collection to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes following exposure to ART is ongoing. Health care providers should enroll all patients exposed to antiretroviral medications during pregnancy in the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (1-800-258-4263). Enrollment should be done as early in pregnancy as possible.
Health care providers caring for pregnant patients with HIV and their infants may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2023).
HIV: General recommendations: Management of HIV infection requires extensive monitoring; refer to current guidelines (https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/en/guidelines) for additional guidance. Antiretroviral drug-resistance testing is recommended before initiation of therapy in treatment-naive patients. After initiation of or change in antiretroviral therapy regimen, pediatric patients should be evaluated for clinical adverse effects and treatment adherence at 1 to 2 weeks, and laboratory testing for drug toxicity should occur at 2 to 4 weeks; monitor for therapy adherence, effectiveness, and toxicities every 3 to 4 months.
Drug-specific monitoring: Frequency may vary based on several factors including age, concomitant therapy, and clinical response; refer to current guidelines for additional information.
Monitor injection site for cellulitis (more common in pediatric patients) and sign/symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions; signs/symptoms of bacterial pneumonia.
Binds to the first heptad-repeat (HR1) in the gp41 subunit of the viral envelope glycoprotein. Inhibits the fusion of HIV-1 virus with CD4 cells by blocking the conformational change in gp41 required for membrane fusion and entry into CD4 cells
