1.
WHAT SUNLENCA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sunlenca contains the active substance lenacapavir. This is an
antiretroviral medicine known as a
capsid inhibitor.
Sunlenca is a long acting medicine and
IS USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER ANTIRETROVIRAL MEDICINES
to treat type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that
cause acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS).
It is used to treat HIV infection in adults with limited treatment
options (for example when other
antiretroviral medicines are not sufficiently effective or are not
suitable).
Treatment with Sunlenca in combination with other antiretrovirals
reduces the amount of HIV in your
body. This will improve the function of your immune system (the
body’s natural defences) and reduce
the risk of developing illnesses linked to HIV infection.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Sunlenca injection, in combination with other antiretroviral(s), is
indicated for the treatment of adults
with multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection for whom it is otherwise not
possible to construct a
suppressive anti-viral regimen (see sections 4.2 and 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Therapy should be prescribed by a physician experienced in the
management of HIV infection.
Each injection should be administered by a healthcare professional.
Prior to starting lenacapavir, the healthcare professional should
carefully select patients who agree to
the required injection schedule and counsel patients about the
importance of adherence to scheduled
dosing visits to help maintain viral suppression and reduce the risk
of viral rebound and potential
development of resistance associated with missed doses. In addition,
the healthcare professional
should counsel patients about the importance of adherence to an
optimised background regimen
(OBR) to further reduce the risk of viral rebound and potential
development of resistance.
If Sunlenca is discontinued, it is essential to adopt an alternative,
fully suppressive antiretroviral
regimen where possible, no later than 28 weeks after the final
injection of Sunlenca (see section 4.4).
