Tenofovir alafenamide, sold under the brand name Vemlidy, is a medication for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in those with compensated liver disease.[5] It is taken by mouth.[5] It can be used in people over the age of 11.[1] Hepatitis B may worsen after stopping the medication.[5]

Common side effects include headache, nausea, and tiredness.[1] Other side effects may include lactic acidosis.[5] It is not recommended in severe liver problems.[5] Tenofovir alafenamide is converted by the body to tenofovir, by which it works.[1] This than blocks reverse transcriptase which prevents the virus from multiplying.[1]

Tenofovir alafenamide was approved for use in the United States in 2016 and Europe in 2017.[5][1] In the United States it costs about 1,300 USD per month as of 2021.[6] In the United Kingdom this amount costs the NHS about £325 and in Canada it is about 600 CAD.[7][8]

Medical uses

It is used for chronic hepatitis B.[1]

Dosage

It is taken by mouth once a day at a dose of 25 mg for usually 6 to 12 months.[1]

History

It was developed by Gilead Sciences based on the protide technology of Chris McGuigan for use in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and chronic hepatitis B, and is applied in the form of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). Closely related to the commonly used reverse-transcriptase inhibitor tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), TAF has greater antiviral activity and better distribution into lymphoid tissues than that agent.[9][10]

Combinations

Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, the salt used in drug formulations.

Gilead announced a Phase III trial evaluating a single-tablet regimen combining tenofovir alafenamide with cobicistat, emtricitabine and elvitegravir[11] and developed a coformulation of the drug with cobicistat, emtricitabine and the protease inhibitor darunavir.[12][13][14]

In a 48-week study comparing elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil (trade name Stribild) to elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (trade name Genvoya), the results showed the newer drug to be noninferior to the established agent, but at much lower dosages and with lower incidence of adverse side effects such as impaired kidney function.[15][16][17]

The FDA approved the TAF-based treatment regimen for treatment of HIV-1 in November 2015.[18] Genvoya is the first TAF-based regimen to receive approval.[18]

Fixed-dose combinations

Descovy (emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide)
