FDA: PrEP indication updated to include adolescents at risk of HIV infection


 


ResistanceATN113 Trial

In ATN113, a clinical trial of HIV-1 seronegative adolescent subjects [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)], no amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to FTC or TDF were detected at the time of seroconversion from any of the 3 subjects who became infected with HIV-1 during the trial. All 3 subjects who seroconverted were nonadherent to the recommended Truvada dosage.

The updated label will soon be available at drugs@fda or DailyMed.
