Overview

What is DAKLINZA?

DAKLINZA (daclatasvir) is an inhibitor of HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A). The chemical name for drug substance daclatasvir dihydrochloride is carbamic acid,,′-[[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diylbis[1-imidazole-5,2-diyl-(2)-2,1-pyrrolidinediyl[(1)-1-(1-methylethyl)-2-oxo-2,1-ethanediyl]]]bis-, ,′-dimethyl ester, hydrochloride (1:2). Its molecular formula is CHNO•2HCl, and its molecular weight is 738.88 (free base). Daclatasvir dihydrochloride has the following structural formula:

Daclatasvir dihydrochloride drug substance is white to yellow. Daclatasvir is freely soluble in water (>700 mg/mL).

DAKLINZA 60 mg tablets contain 60 mg daclatasvir (equivalent to 66 mg daclatasvir dihydrochloride) and the inactive ingredients anhydrous lactose (116 mg), microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and Opadry green.

DAKLINZA 30 mg tablets contain 30 mg daclatasvir (equivalent to 33 mg daclatasvir dihydrochloride) and the inactive ingredients anhydrous lactose (58 mg), microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and Opadry green.

DAKLINZA 90 mg tablets contain 90 mg daclatasvir (equivalent to 99 mg daclatasvir dihydrochloride) and the inactive ingredients anhydrous lactose (173 mg), microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and Opadry green.

Opadry green contains hypromellose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol 400, FD&C blue #2/indigo carmine aluminum lake, and yellow iron oxide.

What might happen if I take too much DAKLINZA?

There is no known antidote for overdose of DAKLINZA. Treatment of overdose with DAKLINZA should consist of general supportive measures, including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the patient’s clinical status. Because daclatasvir is highly protein bound (>99%), dialysis is unlikely to significantly reduce plasma concentrations of the drug.


How should I store and handle DAKLINZA?

DAKLINZA is packaged in bottles as described in the table.Store DAKLINZA tablets at 25°C (77°F), with excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].DAKLINZA is packaged in bottles as described in the table.Store DAKLINZA tablets at 25°C (77°F), with excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].

Clinical Pharmacology

Daclatasvir is a direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) against the hepatitis C virus [].

Non-Clinical Toxicology
•

(4)

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation has been reported in HCV/HBV coinfected patients who were undergoing or had completed treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals, and who were not receiving HBV antiviral therapy. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death. Cases have been reported in patients who are HBsAg positive and also in patients with serologic evidence of resolved HBV infection (i.e., HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive). HBV reactivation has also been reported in patients receiving certain immunosuppressant or chemotherapeutic agents; the risk of HBV reactivation associated with treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals may be increased in these patients.

HBV reactivation is characterized as an abrupt increase in HBV replication manifesting as a rapid increase in serum HBV DNA level. In patients with resolved HBV infection, reappearance of HBsAg can occur. Reactivation of HBV replication may be accompanied by hepatitis, i.e., increases in aminotransferase levels and, in severe cases, increases in bilirubin levels, liver failure, and death can occur.

Test all patients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc before initiating HCV treatment with DAKLINZA. In patients with serologic evidence of HBV infection, monitor for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis flare or HBV reactivation during HCV treatment with DAKLINZA and during post-treatment follow-up. Initiate appropriate patient management for HBV infection as clinically indicated.

If DAKLINZA and sofosbuvir are administered with ribavirin, refer to the prescribing information for ribavirin regarding ribavirin-associated adverse reactions.

The following serious adverse reaction is described below and elsewhere in the labeling:
