ABSTRACT: Purpose
Dolutegravir (DTG), an unboosted HIV integrase inhibitor (INI), is metabolized by UGT1A1 and to a minor extent by CYP3A. Renal elimination of unchanged DTG is very low (< 1 %). As renal impairment may affect pharmacokinetics (PK), even for drugs primarily metabolized or secreted in bile, this study investigated the effect of renal impairment on the PK of DTG.Methods
This was an open-label, single-dose study of oral DTG 50 mg administered to subjects with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] <30 mL/min; not on dialysis) and to healthy controls (CLcr >90 mL/min) matched for gender, age and body mass index (8 subjects per group). Serial PK samples were collected up to 72 h post-dose for determination of DTG and DTG-glucuronide (DTG-Gluc) concentrations
