Decreased Absorption of Dolutegravir and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, But Not Emtricitabine, in an HIV-Infected Patient Following Oral and Jejunostomy-Tube Administration.

ABSTRACT: The use of enteral feeding tubes to administer antiretroviral medications is necessary in certain patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, adequacy of drug exposures after these administration routes are largely unknown, making dosing recommendations and the attainment of viral suppression challenging in this patient population. This report describes a patient with advanced HIV infection and a complicated medical history including long-term intractable nausea/vomiting necessitating antiretroviral medication administration via a Roux-en-Y jejunostomy (J)-tube. Pharmacokinetic assessments were performed to compare differences in antiretroviral drug absorption and plasma exposure following oral and J-tube administration of dolutegravir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarat
