Indications and Usage XOFLUZATM is a polymerase acidic (PA) endonuclease inhibitor indicated for the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in patients 12 years of age and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours.
Limitations of Use: Influenza viruses change over time, and factors such as the virus type or subtype, emergence of resistance, or changes in viral virulence could diminish the clinical benefit of antiviral drugs. Consider available information on drug susceptibility patterns for circulating influenza virus strains when deciding whether to use XOFLUZA.
Dosage and Administration Take a single dose of XOFLUZA orally within 48 hours of symptom onset with or without food. Avoid co-administration of XOFLUZA with dairy products, calcium-fortified beverages, polyvalent cation-containing laxatives, antacids, or oral supplements (e.g., calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, or zinc). The dose of XOFLUZA depends on weight.
40 kg to less than 80 kg Body weight: Single dose of 40 mg
At least 80 kg Body weight: Single dose of 80 mg
Mechanism of action Baloxavir marboxil is a prodrug that is converted by hydrolysis to baloxavir, the active form that exerts antiinfluenza virus activity. Baloxavir inhibits the endonuclease activity of the polymerase acidic (PA) protein, an influenza virus-specific enzyme in the viral RNA polymerase complex required for viral gene transcription, resulting in inhibition of influenza virus replication. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of baloxavir was 1.4 to 3.1 nM (n=4) for influenza A viruses and 4.5 to 8.9 nM (n=3) for influenza B viruses in a PA
endonuclease assay. Viruses with reduced susceptibility to baloxavir have amino acid substitutions in the PA protein
Absorption Baloxavir marboxil is a prodrug that is almost completely converted to its active metabolite, baloxavir,following oral administration.In the phase 3 trial, at the recommended dose of 40 mg for subjects weighing less than 80 kg, the mean (CV%) values of baloxavir Cmax and AUC0-inf were 96.4 ng/mL (45.9%) and 6160 ng·hr/mL (39.2%), respectively. At the recommended dose of 80 mg for subjects weighing 80 kg and more, the mean (CV%) values of baloxavir Cmax and AUC0-inf were 107 ng/mL (47.2%) and 8009 ng·hr/mL (42.4%), respectively.
Food Effect Cmax: ↓48%, AUC0-inf; ↓36% (Meal: approximately 400 to 500 kcal including 150 kcal from fat )
Distribution % Bound to human serum proteins: 92.9 - 93.9
Ratio of blood cell to blood: 48.5% - 54.4%
Volume of distribution (V/F, L): 1180 (20.8%)
Metabolism Metabolic pathways: UGT1A3, CYP3A4
Elimination Major route of elimination : Metabolism
Clearance (CL/F, L/hr): 10.3 (22.5%)
Peak plasma time (Tmax)4 Hours
Half life79.1 (22.4%) Hours
Bioavailability-
Age, gender There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of baloxavir based on age (adolescents as compared to adults), or sex.
