1. What Sunlenca is and what it is used for

Sunlenca contains the active substance lenacapavir. It is an antiretroviral medicine known as a
capsid inhibitor.
Sunlenca is a prolonged-release medicine used in combination with other antiretroviral medicines
for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, the virus that causes acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
It is used for the treatment of 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 the body.
This improves the function of the immune system (the body's natural defenses) and reduces the risk of
developing diseases related to HIV infection.

2. What you need to know before you are given Sunlenca

Do not be given Sunlenca

  • If you are allergic to lenacapavir or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are taking any of the following medicines:
    • rifampicin, used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis
    • carbamazepine, phenytoin, used to prevent seizures
    • St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), a herbal remedy used for depression and anxiety.

If any of these conditions apply to you, do not be given Sunlenca and inform your doctor immediately.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using Sunlenca

  • Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have or have ever had severe liver disease or if blood tests have shown liver problems. Your doctor will carefully consider whether to treat you with Sunlenca.

While using Sunlenca
When you start using Sunlenca, be alert for:

  • Signs of inflammation or infection.

If you notice any of these symptoms, inform your doctor immediately. For more information,
see section 4, Possible side effects.

  • Reactions at the site where Sunlenca is injected.

A hardened mass or nodule may form at the injection site. In some cases, these nodules may
persist for more than one year and in some cases may not go away at all. If the problem has not
resolved by the time of your next injection, inform your doctor. For more information,
see section 4, Possible side effects.

Regular appointments are important
It is important that you attend all scheduled appointments to receive your Sunlenca injections, to monitor your HIV infection and prevent the disease from worsening. Talk to your doctor if you are considering stopping treatment. If a Sunlenca injection is delayed or if you stop treatment with Sunlenca, you will need to take other medicines to treat your HIV infection and reduce the risk of developing viral resistance.

Children and adolescents
Do not give this medicine to children and adolescents under 18 years of age. The use of Sunlenca in patients under 18 years of age has not yet been studied; therefore, the safety and efficacy of this medicine in this age group are unknown.

Other medicines and Sunlenca
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Sunlenca may interact with other medicines. This could prevent Sunlenca or the other medicines from working properly, or could worsen their side effects. In some cases, your doctor may need to adjust the dose or monitor blood levels.

Medicines that must never be taken with Sunlenca:

  • rifampicin, used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis
  • carbamazepine, phenytoin, used to prevent seizures
  • St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), a herbal remedy used for depression and anxiety.

If you are taking any of these medicines, do not be given injectable Sunlenca and inform your doctor immediately.

Talk to your doctor especially if you are taking:

  • antibiotics containing:
    • rifabutin
  • anticonvulsants used to treat epilepsy and prevent seizures, containing:
    • oxcarbazepine or phenobarbital
  • medicines used to treat HIV, containing:
    • atazanavir/cobicistat, efavirenz, nevirapine, tipranavir/ritonavir or etravirine
  • medicines used to treat migraine headaches, containing:
    • dihydroergotamine or ergotamine
  • medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension, containing:
    • sildenafil or tadalafil
  • medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction, containing:
    • vardenafil
  • corticosteroids (also known as “steroids”) taken orally or administered by injection, used to treat allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and various other inflammatory conditions, containing:
    • dexamethasone or hydrocortisone/cortisone
  • medicines used to lower cholesterol, containing:
    • lovastatin or simvastatin
  • antiarrhythmics used to treat heart problems, containing:
    • digoxin
  • medicines used to help sleep, containing:
    • midazolam or triazolam
  • anticoagulants used to prevent and treat blood clots, containing:
    • rivaroxaban, dabigatran or edoxaban.

Inform your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines or if you start taking them
during treatment with Sunlenca. Do not stop treatment without contacting your doctor.

Sunlenca is a long-acting medicine. If, after speaking with your doctor, you decide to stop treatment or switch to another treatment, you should know that low levels of lenacapavir (the active substance in Sunlenca) may remain in your body for many months after the last injection. These low residual levels should not affect other antiretroviral medicines taken later to treat HIV infection. However, other medicines may be affected by the low levels of lenacapavir in your body if taken within 9 months after your last Sunlenca injection. You must ask your doctor whether such medicines can be taken safely after stopping Sunlenca treatment.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid using Sunlenca during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Breastfeeding is not recommended for HIV-positive women because HIV infection can be transmitted to the infant through breast milk. If you are breastfeeding or considering breastfeeding, you must discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible.

Driving and using machines
Sunlenca is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.

Sunlenca contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per injection, i.e., essentially ‘sodium-free’.

3. How Sunlenca is administered

Sunlenca is used in combination with other antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV infection.
Your doctor will tell you which other medicines you need to take to treat HIV infection and when to
take them.
Treatment with Sunlenca starts with tablets taken by mouth, followed by injections administered by
your doctor or nurse, as described below.
Talk to your doctor before taking the tablets. You will be informed when to start taking the tablets and when your first injection appointments are scheduled.

Day 1 of treatment:

  • two tablets to be taken by mouth. These may be taken with or without food.

Day 2 of treatment:

  • two tablets to be taken by mouth. These may be taken with or without food.

Day 8 of treatment:

  • one tablet to be taken by mouth. This may be taken with or without food.

Day 15 of treatment:

  • two injections into the abdomen (stomach area) administered at the same time by your doctor or nurse.

Every 6 months:

  • two injections into the abdomen administered at the same time by your doctor or nurse.

If you are given more Sunlenca than you should
This medicine will be administered by your doctor or nurse; therefore, it is unlikely that you will be given an excessive amount. If you have any doubts, speak to your doctor or nurse.

If you miss an injection of Sunlenca

  • It is important that you attend all scheduled appointments every 6 months to receive your Sunlenca injections. This will help control your HIV infection and prevent the disease from worsening.
  • If you are unable to attend an appointment for your injections, inform your doctor as soon as possible to discuss your treatment options.

If you forget or vomit the tablets, read the patient information leaflet for Sunlenca tablets.

If you stop treatment with Sunlenca
Do not stop treatment with Sunlenca without talking to your doctor. Continue receiving Sunlenca injections for the period prescribed by your doctor. Stopping treatment may have serious consequences on the effectiveness of your future anti-HIV treatments.
Talk to your doctor if you no longer wish to receive Sunlenca injections.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
Possible side effects: inform your doctor immediately

  • Signs of inflammation or infection. In some patients with advanced HIV infection (AIDS) and a history of prior opportunistic infections (infections that occur in people with a weakened immune system), signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur shortly after starting anti-HIV treatment. These symptoms are thought to be due to an improved immune response, which enables the body to fight infections that may have been present without obvious symptoms.
  • When you start taking medicines for HIV infection, autoimmune disorders may also occur, in which the immune system attacks healthy body tissue. Autoimmune disorders may occur several months after starting treatment. Be alert for any signs of infection or other symptoms such as:
    • muscle weakness
    • weakness starting in the hands and feet and progressing towards the trunk of the body
    • palpitations, tremor, or hyperactivity.

If you notice these or any other signs of inflammation or infection, inform your doctor immediately.
Very common side effects
(may affect more than 1 in 10 people)

  • Reactions at the site where Sunlenca is injected. Symptoms may include:
    • pain and discomfort
    • a hardened mass or nodule, which may take longer to resolve than other injection site reactions or may not resolve at all
    • inflammatory reaction such as redness, itching, and swelling
    • open wound on the skin

Common side effects
(may affect up to 1 in 10 people)

  • Nausea

Reporting of side effects
