Population pharmacokinetic modeling of dolutegravir/lamivudine to support a once-daily fixed-dose combination regimen in virologically suppressed adults living with HIV-1.

ABSTRACT: A fixed-dose combination (FDC) of 50 mg dolutegravir and 300 mg lamivudine is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This analysis aimed to characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of dolutegravir and lamivudine based on data from a phase 3 study (TANGO) in virologically suppressed adults living with HIV-1 switching to dolutegravir/lamivudine FDC. These analyses included 362 participants who contributed 2,629 dolutegravir and 2,611 lamivudine samples collected over 48 weeks. A one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination parameterized by apparent oral clearance (CL/F), apparent volume of distribution (V/F), and absorption rate constant (Ka) described dolutegravir PK. Covariate search yielded body weight, bilirubin, and ethnicity as predictors of CL/F,
