Characterizing HIV-Preventive, Plasma Tenofovir Concentrations-A Pooled Participant-level Data Analysis From Human Immunodeficiency Virus Preexposure Prophylaxis Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Daily dosing of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, with or without emtricitabine, has high efficacy in preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection when individuals are adherent. The target protective plasma concentration of tenofovir (TFV), however, is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to estimate the protective TFV plasma concentration.

Methods

Participant data from TFV-based daily oral and topical active arms of phase 3 trials (iPrEx, VOICE, and Partners PrEP) were pooled (n = 2950). Individual specific risk scores (low and high risk) of acquiring HIV, based on an earlier placebo analysis, were created. Longitudinal TFV pharmacokinetics (PK), HIV outcome, individual risk scores and the effect of sex at birth data were integrated and analyzed
