Glecaprevir and Pibrentasvir as Transport Inhibitors Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are potential inhibitors of multiple drug transporters including: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3 Coadministration with GLE + PIB increased exposure of P-gp and BCRP substrates 1,2 Digoxin (P-gp substrate): 72% C max, 48% AUC Sofosbuvir (P-gp and BCRP substrate): 66% C max, 125% AUC GS-331007 (Not a P-gp or BCRP substrate): C max, AUC, 85% C 24 Probe substrates of interest: Pravastatin (OATP1B1/3 substrate) Rosuvastatin (BCRP, OATP1B1/3 substrate) Dabigatran Etexilate (P-gp substrate) Less sensitive to transport inhibition than many other statins Larger potential increases due to involvement of multiple transporters Prodrug for dabigatran More sensitive to inhibition of intestinal P-gp than digoxin 1.

All adverse events were mild in severity. No clinically significant vital signs, ECG or laboratory measurements were observed during the course of the study. 7
Pravastatin Study: Results (continued) Coadministration with drugs that increase systemic exposure of pravastatin may increase the risk of statin-associated myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis Increases in pravastatin exposure were similar to those observed with clarithromycin ( 127% C max, 110% AUC) 1 When coadministered with clarithromycin, pravastatin dose should be limited to 40 mg per day (USPI) or used with caution (SmPC) Pravastatin dose should be reduced by 50% when used with GLE/PIB 1.

Conclusions GLE and PIB are clinically relevant inhibitors of P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B1/3. Coadministration with GLE + PIB increased systemic exposures of orally administered pravastatin, rosuvastatin, or dabigatran etexilate. Pravastatin and rosuvastatin may be used with GLE/PIB at a reduced or limited dose. Dabigatran etexilate should be dosed per region specific labeling on use with P-gp inhibitors when used with GLE/PIB. 15
