Darunavir is a second-generation protease inhibitor (PIs), designed specifically to overcome problems with the older agents in this class, such as ]. Early PIs often have severe side effects and drug toxicities, require a high therapeutic dose, are costly to manufacture, and show a disturbing susceptibility to drug resistant mutations. Such mutations can develop in as little as a year of use, and effectively render the drugs useless.

<!-- History and culture -->
Darunavir received much attention at the time of its release, as it represents an important treatment option for patients with drug-resistant HIV. Patient advocacy groups pressured developer Tibotec not to follow the previous trend of releasing new drugs at prices higher than existing drugs in the same class. Darunavir was priced to match other common PIs already in use, such as the ] drug ]. The drug costs around $9,000 for a one year supply.<ref>Liz Highleyman, Patient Advocates Commend Pricing of New PI Darunavir, </ref><ref>Darunavir - first molecule to treat drug-resistant HIV, </ref><ref>Retaining Efficacy Against Evasive HIV, </ref>

== Adverse effects ==
Darunavir showed superiority to ] and other ] in the POWER trials. The POWER 1 and POWER 2 were designed for '''treatment-experienced patients''', together with supportive data from the POWER 3 analysis. <ref>Bonaventura Clotet, Nicholas Bellos, Jean-Michel Molina, David Cooper, Jean-Christophe Goffard, Adriano Lazzarin, Andrej Wöhrmann, Christine Katlama, Timothy Wilkin, Richard Haubrich, et al., Efficacy and safety of darunavir-ritonavir at week 48 in treatment-experienced patients with HIV-1 infection in POWER 1 and 2: a pooled subgroup analysis of data from two randomised trials, The Lancet, Volume 369, Issue 9568, 7 April 2007-13 April 2007, Pages 1169-1178.</ref> The patients eligible for these studies had experience with at least one protease inhibitor, one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (]) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (]), and had one or more primary protease inhibitor mutations.
Darunavir is generally well tolerated by people. Rash is the most common side effect (7% of patients).<ref name="Prezista FDA label" /> Other common side effects are diarrhea (2.3%), headache (3.8%), abdominal pain (2.3%), constipation (2.3%), and vomiting (1.5%).<ref name="Prezista FDA label" /> Darunavir can also cause allergic reactions, and people allergic to ritonavir can also have a reaction to darunavir.<ref name="Prezista FDA label" />


], ] or worsening of diabetes, ], tenderness or weakness, and increased bleeding in people with ] have been reported in patients taking protease inhibitor medicines like darunavir.<ref name="Prezista FDA label" /> Changes in body fat have been seen in some patients taking medicines for HIV, including loss of fat from legs, arms and face, increased fat in the abdomen and other internal organs, breast enlargement, and fatty lumps on the back of the neck. The cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known.<ref name="Prezista FDA label" />
Darunavir also showed superior results to ] in the TITAN trials (pre-planned, secondary endpoint, week 48), which was designed for patients with '''less advanced ] disease''' compared to the POWER trials.<ref>José Valdez Madruga, Daniel Berger, Marilyn McMurchie, Fredy Suter, Denes Banhegyi, Kiat Ruxrungtham, Dorece Norris, Eric Lefebvre, Marie-Pierre de Béthune, Frank Tomaka, et al., Efficacy and safety of darunavir-ritonavir compared with that of lopinavir-ritonavir at 48 weeks in treatment-experienced, HIV-infected patients in TITAN: a randomised controlled phase III trial, Pages 49-58. DOI 10.1016/S0140-6736(07)61049-6</ref>


===ARTEMIS trial=== === Drug interactions ===
Darunavir may interact with medications commonly taken by people with ] such as other antiretrovirals, and antacids such as ] and ].<ref name="Prezista FDA label" /> ] may reduce the effectiveness of darunavir by increasing the breakdown of darunavir by the metabolic enzyme '']''.<ref name="Prezista FDA label" />
ARTEMIS includes 689 treatment-naive participants with a baseline viral load of at least 5000&nbsp;copies/mL who were randomly assigned to receive 800/100&nbsp;mg once-daily darunavir/ritonavir or 800/200&nbsp;mg lopinavir/ritonavir given once- or twice-daily.
At 96&nbsp;weeks, darunavir/ritonavir remained non-inferior to lopinavir/ritonavir.

* In an intent-to-treat analysis, significantly more patients in the darunavir/ritonavir arm achieved HIV RNA below 50&nbsp;copies/mL compared with the lopinavir/ritonavir arm (79% vs. 71%; p&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.012).
Darunavir is a nonpeptidic inhibitor of protease (PR) that lodges itself in the active site of PR through a number of hydrogen bonds.<ref name="Leonis, G. 2012">{{cite journal | vauthors = Leonis G, Czyżnikowska Ż, Megariotis G, Reis H, Papadopoulos MG | title = Computational studies of darunavir into HIV-1 protease and DMPC bilayer: necessary conditions for effective binding and the role of the flaps | journal = Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling | volume = 52 | issue = 6 | pages = 1542–1558 | date = June 2012 | pmid = 22587384 | doi = 10.1021/ci300014z }}</ref> It was developed to increase interactions with HIV-1 protease and to be more resistant against HIV-1 protease mutations.

* Response rates in the darunavir/ritonavir arm were statistically superior to those in the lopinavir/ritonavir arm for patients with high baseline viral load and low baseline CD4 count.
** Among patients with baseline viral load below 100,000&nbsp;copies/mL, 76% of patients in the darunavir/ritonavir arm and 63% in the lopinavir/ritonavir arm achieved HIV RNA below 50&nbsp;copies/mL (p&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.023).
* Once-daily darunavir/ritonavir was generally safe and well tolerated.
* Fewer patients in the darunavir/ritonavir arm discontinued treatment due to adverse events (4% vs. 9%).
* Patients taking darunavir/ritonavir were less likely to have moderate to severe (grade 2-4) treatment-related diarrhea (4% vs. 11%; p&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;0.001).
* Grade 2-4 treatment-related rash occurred infrequently in both arms (3% with darunavir/ritonavir vs. 1% with lopinavir/ritonavir; p&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.273).
* Patients taking darunavir/ritonavir had smaller average increases in triglycerides (0.1 vs. 0.8&nbsp;mmol/L, or 12% vs. 50%) and total cholesterol (0.6 vs. 0.9&nbsp;mmol/L, or 15% vs. 23%) (both p&nbsp;<&nbsp;0.0001).

===TITAN trial===
Analysis of 595 treatment-experienced patients being ]/]-naïve, HIV-1 infected adults with a viral load of greater than 1000 HIV-1 ]&nbsp;copies/mL.
Pre-planned secondary endpoint findings include:
* 71 percent of patients in the darunavir/r arm reached an undetectable viral load (less than 50&nbsp;copies/mL) vs. 60 percent of patients in the lopinavir/r arm, a statistically significant difference (]&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.005)
* 77 percent of patients in the darunavir/r arm achieved at least a 1 log10 reduction in HIV RNA vs. 69 percent in the lopinavir/r arm, a statistically significant difference (p&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.028)
* The median increase from baseline in CD4 cell count was similar between the darunavir/r and lopinavir/r arms (88 cells per cubic millimeter vs. 81 cells per cubic millimeter)


===Catalytic site===
Development of resistance also was studied. Findings include:
* 10 percent of patients in the darunavir/r arm experienced virological failure vs. 22 percent of patients in the lopinavir/r arm
* Among patients experiencing virologic failure who had baseline and endpoint genotype data, 21 percent of patients in the darunavir/r arm developed primary PI resistance mutations vs. 36 percent of patients in the lopinavir/r arm, and 14 percent of patients in the darunavir/r arm developed primary NRTI resistance mutations vs. 27 percent of patients in the lopinavir/r arm

===POWER 1 and POWER 2 trials===
A pooled analysis of results from POWER 1 and POWER 2 demonstrated that after 24 weeks:
* Significantly more treatment-experienced patients achieved a reduction in viral load at the 24-week primary endpoint with darunavir, compared with the investigator-selected PI (70% vs. 21%, respectively).
* Almost four times as many treatment-experienced patients (45%) have achieved an undetectable viral load with the darunavir containing regimen, compared with the investigator-selected PI arm (12%).
* In treatment-experienced patients, the darunavir containing regimen increases CD4 cell counts five times more than the investigator-selected PI arm (92&nbsp;cells/mm<sup>3</sup> vs. 17&nbsp;cells/mm<sup>3</sup>, respectively) (Johnson & Johnson Press Release, 2006; Lazzarin, 2005)


==History==
The efficacy results of POWER 1 and POWER 2 are confirmed by data from a large, non-randomized, open-label analysis known as POWER 3.

After 24 weeks:
* 65 percent of patients achieved a reduction in viral load of 1 log10 or more, versus baseline.
* 40 percent of patients reached undetectable virus levels (less than 50 HIV RNA&nbsp;copies/mL). (Molina, 2005)

== Safety ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2009}}
As other ], darunavir does not cure HIV infection or ], and does not prevent passing HIV to others.


== Society and culture ==
In studies, darunavir was generally well tolerated. Mild to moderate rash was seen in 7% of patients. Some patients developed severe rash. In clinical studies, 0.3% of patients discontinued due to rash. The most common moderate to severe side effects associated with darunavir include diarrhea (2.3%), headache (3.8%), abdominal pain (2.3%), constipation (2.3%), and vomiting (1.5%). Four percent of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events. People who are allergic to darunavir or any of its ingredients, or ritonavir (Norvir) should not take darunavir.

There were few relevant drug-drug interactions with other medications commonly used in HIV patient populations, such as other antiretroviral medications, proton pump inhibitors, and H2 receptor antagonists. ] may reduce its effectiveness by interaction with ]. Patients should talk to their healthcare provider about all the medicines they are taking or plan to take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Before taking darunavir, patients should tell their healthcare provider if they have any medical conditions, including diabetes, liver problems, hemophilia, or allergy to sulfa medicines and should tell their doctor if they are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or are nursing. Darunavir should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.

High blood sugar, diabetes or worsening of diabetes, muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, and increased bleeding in people with hemophilia have been reported in patients taking protease inhibitor medicines like darunavir. Changes in body fat have been seen in some patients taking anti-HIV medicines, including loss of fat from legs, arms and face, increased fat in the abdomen and other internal organs, breast enlargement and fatty lumps on the back of the neck. The cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known at this time.

Clinical laboratory safety observed in the darunavir group was comparable to the control group. (Product Monograph, Darunavir)

== Dosing and administration ==

The recommended oral dose of darunavir tablets is 600&nbsp;mg (two 300&nbsp;mg tablets) twice daily (BID) taken with ritonavir 100&nbsp;mg BID and with food. The drug can be taken with any type of food.

Additional Studies Involving Darunavir
* TMC114-C211: Investigating a dose of 800&nbsp;mg of the drug boosted with 100&nbsp;mg of ritonavir once daily in treatment-naïve patients.
* TMC114-C214: Investigating a dose of 600&nbsp;mg of the drug boosted with 100&nbsp;mg of ritonavir twice daily in moderately treatment-experienced patients.
* DUET trial: The drug is being studied with TMC125, an investigational non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, in one of the few HIV clinical trials to involve two investigational HIV treatments in treatment-experienced patients. (Tibotec 2006)
