Abstract

Dasabuvir, a component of VIEKIRA PAK, is a substrate of CYP2C8 enzymes. Prescribing information for VIEKIRA PAK contraindicates gemfibrozil, a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor, because coadministration significantly increases dasabuvir exposures, which may increase the risk of QT prolongation. Clopidogrel may increase dasabuvir exposures primarily due to CYP2C8 inhibition by clopidogrel-acyl-β-D-glucuronide. This commentary outlines the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) interdisciplinary review team's scientific perspective to address the potential for a significant drug-drug interaction (DDI) between clopidogrel and VIEKIRA PAK.
