Immunologic: Immune reconstitution syndrome (Wijting 2019)
There are no contraindications listed in the manufacturer's labeling.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• 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.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment is required in mild or moderate (Child-Pugh class A or B) hepatic impairment. Use is not recommended in severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C); has not been studied in this population.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Appropriate use: Not recommended in combination with a protease inhibitor and cobicistat due to lack of dosing recommendations, potential suboptimal plasma concentrations, loss of therapeutic effect, or development of resistance.
• Concurrent therapy: Avoid concurrent use with other elvitegravir-containing products.

Contraception is not required to initiate or continue antiretroviral therapy (ART).
The Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend an elvitegravir-containing regimen 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).
Elvitegravir has a high level of transfer across the placenta.
No increased risk of overall teratogenic effects has been observed following first trimester exposure according to data collected by the antiretroviral pregnancy registry. Maternal antiretroviral therapy (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.
The Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend an elvitegravir-containing regimen in pregnant patients with HIV due to inadequate serum concentrations observed during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs during therapy, consideration should be given to changing to a preferred or alternative regimen. If continued in patients who are virologically suppressed, frequent viral load monitoring is recommended.
The pharmacokinetics of elvitegravir are significantly changed by pregnancy; data are insufficient to make dosing recommendations and use is not recommended during pregnancy. Do not administer within 2 hours of iron or calcium containing preparations, including prenatal vitamins.
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 (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2023).
It is not known if elvitegravir is present in breast milk.
Maintaining maximum viral suppression during pregnancy and postpartum decreases but does not eliminate the risk of HIV transmission via breast milk. In addition, multiclass-resistant virus has been detected in breastfeeding infants who acquire HIV despite maternal therapy. In the United States, where formula is usually accessible, affordable, safe, and sustainable, and the risk of infant mortality due to diarrhea and respiratory infections is low, the Health and Human Services perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend breastfeeding for patients with HIV when safer infant feeding options are available. Persons with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load while taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) should evaluate infant feeding options (formula, banked donor milk, or breastfeeding) as part of a shared decision-making process (if breastfeeding is being considered, see guidelines for measures to reduce the risk of HIV transmission). When the HIV status at delivery is not known, breastmilk may be expressed and stored until a negative test is available. If HIV infection is diagnosed after breastfeeding has been initiated, breastfeeding should be discontinued immediately. Breastfeeding is not recommended for persons with HIV who are not taking ART and/or who do not have sustained viral suppression.
Information is available for counseling and managing patients with HIV who are considering breastfeeding (1-888-448-8765). 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 (HHS [perinatal] 2023).
Take with food.
CBC with differential, reticulocyte count, CD4 count, HIV RNA plasma levels, hepatic function tests, testing for HBV is recommended prior to the initiation of antiretroviral therapy.
Integrase is an HIV-1 encoded enzyme that is required for viral replication. Inhibition of integrase prevents the integration of HIV-1 DNA into host genomic DNA, blocking the formation of the HIV-1 provirus and propagation of the viral infection. Elvitegravir does not inhibit human topoisomerases I or II.
