Fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine is a recently approved therapy option that has been extensively studied within the treatment-naïve population. When compared with efavirenz-based therapy, improved tolerability with rilpivirine-based therapy was balanced by higher rates of virologic failure to provide similar overall efficacy rates within the intention-to-treat analysis. As a result, providers will need to balance the potential for improved tolerability with fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine against a higher potential for virologic failure, particularly among patients with baseline viral loads above 100,000 copies/mL. Current treatment guidelines have recommended that fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine be an alternative therapy option for treatment-naïve patients and advise caution in those patients with high viral loads at baseline. Similar to other non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based regimens, there are a number of drug interaction concerns with fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine that will necessitate monitoring and, in some cases, appropriate management. Additionally, the emergence of drug resistance to fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine has been well documented in clinical studies and close attention will be necessary in order to protect current and future therapy options. Overall, fixed-dose combination rilpivirine-tenofovir-emtricitabine is poised to provide an important therapy option for patients when appropriately applied.Keywords: rilpivirine, human immunodeficiency virus, antiretroviral, tenofovir, emtricitabinePatel NMiller CD,Dove Medical PressarticleImmunologic diseases.
