Project description:BACKGROUND:The drug-drug interactions between pitavastatin and darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) as well as pitavastatin and efavirenz (EFV) were examined in an open-label, parallel-arm, pharmacokinetic (PK) study in HIV-uninfected healthy volunteers. METHODS:Subjects received a pitavastatin dose of 2 mg for 4 days, followed by either EFV 600 mg (n = 14) or DRV/r 800/100 mg (n = 14) daily for 10 days, and pitavastatin 2 mg coadministered with EFV 600 mg or DRV/r 800/100 mg for 4 days. Full PK profiles were determined for pitavastatin and its lactone metabolite on days 4 and 18 and for EFV or DRV on days 14 and 18. RESULTS:In the EFV arm, the geometric mean area under the concentration time curve (AUC0-?) and Cmax of pitavastatin were 85.3 ng·h·mL and 15.6 ng/mL, respectively, when given alone, versus 76 ng·h·mL and 18.8 ng/mL when coadministered with EFV. The geometric mean ratio for pitavastatin with EFV versus alone was 0.89 [90% confidence interval (CI): 0.73 to 1.09] for AUC0-? and 1.20 (90% CI: 0.79 to 1.83) for Cmax. In the DRV/r arm, AUC0-? and Cmax were 62.8 ng·h·mL and 24.0 ng/mL, respectively, when pitavastatin was administered alone, versus 56.9 ng·h·mL and 23.2 ng/mL when coadministered with DRV/r. The geometric mean ratio for pitavastatin with DRV/r versus alone was 0.91 (90% CI: 0.78 to 1.06) for AUC0-? and 0.93 (90% CI: 0.72 to 1.19) for Cmax. CONCLUSIONS:There were no significant PK interactions between pitavastatin and EFV or DRV/r. No significant safety issues or lipid changes were noted.

Project description:The object of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of darunavir-ritonavir and atazanavir-ritonavir once-daily dosing over 72 h (h) following drug intake cessation. Volunteers received darunavir-ritonavir at 800 and 100 mg, respectively, once daily for 10 days, followed by a 7-day washout period, and atazanavir-ritonavir at 300 and 100 mg, respectively, once daily for 10 days. Full pharmacokinetic profiles were assessed for each phase for the 72 h following day 10. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined over 24 h and to the last measurable concentration by noncompartmental methods. Seventeen subjects completed the study. The geometric mean (GM) terminal elimination half-life to 72 h of darunavir was 6.48 h, which was lower than the 0- to 24-h half-life (10.70 h). The terminal elimination half-life of atazanavir was 6.74 h, which was lower than the 0- to 24-h half-life (13.72 h). All subjects but one had darunavir concentrations higher than the target of 550 ng/ml for protease-resistant HIV isolates (equivalent to 10 times the protein-binding-corrected 50% inhibitory concentration [IC(50)] for wild-type virus) at 24 h postdose, and 14 out of 17 had concentrations higher than the target at 30 h postdose (GM of 1,088 and 851 ng/ml). All subjects had atazanavir concentrations above the suggested minimum effective concentration of 150 ng/ml (equivalent to 10 times the protein-binding-corrected IC(50) for wild-type virus) at 24 and 30 h postdose (GM of 693 and 392 ng/ml). Two of 17 and 5 of 17 subjects were above target at 48 h postdose while on darunavir-ritonavir and atazanavir-ritonavir. Ritonavir half-life to 72 h was 6.84 h with darunavir and 6.07 with atazanavir. This study investigated the pharmacokinetic forgiveness of two boosted protease inhibitors. Although the rates of decline of darunavir and atazanavir slightly increased as ritonavir concentrations declined, most individuals had concentrations 6 h after the end of the ideal dosing interval of 24 h which were above the cutoff used to define therapeutic concentrations.

Project description:Rilpivirine (RPV), a recently developed, once daily human immunodeficiency virus non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, is not currently approved for pediatric patients, but is sometimes prescribed for adolescents with multiple treatment failures, for regimen simplification or to minimize toxicity. Darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) administered once daily is also increasingly used in adolescents and may alter RPV pharmacokinetics (PK). We evaluated the PK interactions between RPV and DRV/r once daily in adolescents and young adults.Human immunodeficiency virus-infected subjects 12 to <24 years old receiving a stable background therapy including RPV 25?mg once daily without or combined with DRV/r 800/100?mg once daily were enrolled. Intensive 24-hour blood sampling was performed, and PK indices were determined using noncompartmental analysis. Protocol-defined target drug exposure ranges based on adult data were used to assess the adequacy of each regimen.Fifteen subjects receiving RPV without and 14 subjects with DRV/r were enrolled. When dosed without DRV/r, the RPV geometric mean (90% confidence interval) for RPV AUC0-24, Cmax and C24 h were 2.38 ?g h/mL (1.92-2.94), 0.14 ?g/mL (0.12-0.18) and 0.07 ?g/mL (0.03-0.10), respectively, similar to adult values. RPV concentrations were significantly increased with concomitant DRV/r use: RPV AUC24, Cmax and C24 h were 6.74 ?g h/mL (4.89-9.28), 0.39 ?g/mL (0.27-0.57) and 0.23 ?g/mL (0.17-0.32), respectively, well above the target ranges based on adult data. DRV/r PK was not affected by coadministration of RPV.RPV PK in this adolescent population was similar to adults when dosed without DRV/r. DRV/r coadministration increased RPV exposure 2- to 3-fold, indicating that drug-related side effects should be closely monitored.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of darunavir/ritonavir and raltegravir, in HIV-infected subjects, in both plasma and at the intracellular (IC) site of action. METHODS:HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy received raltegravir 400 mg twice daily for 21 days (period 1); darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once daily was added for 14 days (period 2), and patients were randomized to continue raltegravir twice daily (group 1) or to switch to 800 mg once daily (group 2), then they all stopped raltegravir intake and continued darunavir/ritonavir once daily for 14 days (period 3). Drug concentrations in plasma and cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cell) were measured, and differences in geometric mean ratios (GMR) and 90% confidence intervals (CI) between period 2 versus period 3 and period 2 versus period 1 were assessed. RESULTS:Twenty-four patients completed the study. Group 1 GMR (90% CI) of darunavir area under the curve (AUC) with and without raltegravir was 1.24 (1.13 to 1.45) for plasma and 1.24 (1.07 to 1.73) for cells and for group 2 was 1.14 (1.07 to 1.24) and 1.03 (0.94 to 1.16). GMR (90% CI) of raltegravir AUC without and with darunavir/ritonavir (plasma and cells) for group 1 was 0.90 (0.73 to 1.44) and 1.02 (0.81 to 1.67) and for group 2 was 1.21 (1.03 to 1.77) and 1.27 (1.07 to 1.94). Geometric mean IC to plasma AUC ratios were 5.3 and 4.9 for darunavir in groups 1 and 2 when darunavir/ritonavir was given alone and 4.9 and 5.6 for raltegravir when given alone. These ratios were not altered by the coadministered drug. CONCLUSIONS:No remarkable interactions between darunavir/ritonavir and raltegravir in plasma or cells were seen. Raltegravir IC concentrations are higher than previously reported; the difference being due to modified cell isolation procedures that reduced drug loss caused by washing.

Project description:An ultrasensitive assay utilizing high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry detection was developed and validated for the quantification of the antiretrovirals atazanavir (ATV), darunavir (DRV), lopinavir (LPV), ritonavir (RTV), and efavirenz (EFV) in human mononuclear cell (MNC) extracts. The assay utilizes 20 μl of cellular extract that contains as few as 50,000 MNCs. The analytical range of the assay is 0.0200 to 10.0 fmol/μl for ATV, 0.0500 to 25.0 fmol/μl for DRV, LPV, and RTV, and 0.200 to 100 fmol/μl for EFV. The assay has proven to be a clinically useful tool for investigating antiretroviral drug concentrations in virologic sanctuaries where harvested cell numbers are extremely low. The assay provides a tool for investigators to explore the clinical pharmacology of strategies for prevention, treatment, and cure in pathophysiologically relevant sites.

Project description:BackgroundDarunavir is a potent HIV protease inhibitor with a high barrier to resistance. We conducted a nested pharmacokinetic sub-study within CHAPAS-4 to evaluate darunavir exposure in African children with HIV, taking once-daily darunavir/ritonavir for second-line treatment.MethodsWe used data from the CHAPAS-4 pharmacokinetic sub-study treating children with once-daily darunavir/ritonavir (600/100 mg if 14-24.9 kg and 800/100 mg if ≥25 kg) with either tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF)/emtricitabine (FTC), abacavir/lamivudine or zidovudine/lamivudine. Steady-state pharmacokinetic sampling was done at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after observed darunavir/ritonavir intake. Non-compartmental and population pharmacokinetic analyses were used to describe the data and identify significant covariates. Reference adult pharmacokinetic data were used for comparison. We simulated the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended 600/100 mg darunavir/ritonavir dose for the 25-34.9 kg weight band.ResultsData from 59 children with median age and weight 10.9 (range 3.8-14.7) years and 26.0 (14.5-47.0) kg, respectively, were available. A two-compartment disposition model with transit absorption compartments and weight-based allometric scaling of clearance and volume best described darunavir data. Our population achieved geometric mean (%CV) darunavir AUC0-24h, 94.3(50) mg·h/L and Cmax, 9.1(35) mg/L, above adult reference values and Ctrough, 1.5(111) mg/L, like adult values. The nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor backbone was not found to affect darunavir concentrations. Simulated WHO-recommended darunavir/ritonavir doses showed exposures equivalent to adults. Higher alpha-1-acid glycoprotein increased binding to darunavir and decreased apparent clearance of darunavir.ConclusionsDarunavir exposures achieved in our trial are within safe range. Darunavir/ritonavir can safely be co-administered with TAF/FTC. Both WHO-recommended 600/100 mg and CHAPAS-4 800/100 mg darunavir/ritonavir doses for the 25-34.9 kg weight band offer favourable exposures. The choice between them can depend on tablet availability.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of maraviroc along with darunavir/ritonavir, all once daily, for the treatment of antiretroviral-naive HIV-1 infected individuals.DesignMODERN was a multicentre, double-blind, noninferiority, phase III study in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral-naive adults with plasma HIV-1 RNA at least 1000 copies/ml and no evidence of reduced susceptibility to study drugs.MethodsAt screening, participants were randomized 1 : 1 to undergo either genotypic or phenotypic tropism testing. Participants with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 were randomized 1 : 1 to receive maraviroc 150 mg once daily or tenofovir/emtricitabine once daily each with darunavir/ritonavir once daily for 96 weeks. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/ml (Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm) at Week 48. A substudy evaluated bone mineral density, body fat distribution and serum bone turnover markers.ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-seven participants were dosed (maraviroc, n = 396; tenofovir/emtricitabine, n = 401). The Data Monitoring Committee recommended early study termination due to inferior efficacy in the maraviroc group. At Week 48, the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/ml was 77.3% for maraviroc and 86.8% for tenofovir/emtricitabine [difference of -9.54% (95% confidence interval: -14.83 to -4.24)]. More maraviroc participants discontinued for lack of efficacy, which was not associated with non-R5 tropism or resistance. Discontinuations for adverse events, Category C events, Grade 3/4 adverse events and laboratory abnormalities were similar between groups.ConclusionA once-daily nucleos(t)ide-sparing two-drug regimen of maraviroc and darunavir/ritonavir was inferior to a three-drug regimen of tenofovir/emtricitabine and darunavir/ritonavir in antiretroviral-naive adults.

Project description:Darunavir (DRV) has bimodal activity against HIV-1 protease, enzymatic inhibition and protease dimerization inhibition, and has an extremely high genetic barrier against development of drug resistance. We previously generated a highly DRV-resistant HIV-1 variant (HIVDRVRP51). We also reported that four amino acid substitutions (V32I, L33F, I54M, and I84V) identified in the protease of HIVDRVRP51 are largely responsible for its high-level resistance to DRV. Here, we attempted to elucidate the role of each of the four amino acid substitutions in the development of DRV resistance. We found that V32I is a key substitution, which rarely occurs, but once it occurs, it predisposes HIV-1 to develop high-level DRV resistance. When two infectious recombinant HIV-1 clones carrying I54M and I84V (rHIVI54M and rHIVI84V, respectively) were selected in the presence of DRV, V32I emerged, and the virus rapidly developed high-level DRV resistance. rHIVV32I also developed high-level DRV resistance. However, wild-type HIVNL4-3 (rHIVWT) failed to acquire V32I and did not develop DRV resistance. Compared to rHIVWT, rHIVV32I was highly susceptible to DRV and had significantly reduced fitness, explaining why V32I did not emerge upon selection of rHIVWT with DRV. When the only substitution is at residue 32, structural analysis revealed much stronger van der Waals interactions between DRV and I-32 than between DRV and V-32. These results suggest that V32I is a critical amino acid substitution in multiple pathways toward HIV-1's DRV resistance development and elucidate, at least in part, a mechanism of DRV's high genetic barrier to development of drug resistance. The results also show that attention should be paid to the initiation or continuation of DRV-containing regimens in people with HIV-1 containing the V32I substitution.IMPORTANCE Darunavir (DRV) is the only protease inhibitor (PI) recommended as a first-line therapeutic and represents the most widely used PI for treating HIV-1-infected individuals. DRV possesses a high genetic barrier to development of HIV-1's drug resistance. However, the mechanism(s) of the DRV's high genetic barrier remains unclear. Here, we show that the preexistence of certain single amino acid substitutions such as V32I, I54M, A71V, and I84V in HIV-1 protease facilitates the development of high-level DRV resistance. Interestingly, all in vitro-selected highly DRV-resistant HIV-1 variants acquired V32I but never emerged in wild-type HIV (HIVWT), and V32I itself rendered HIV-1 more sensitive to DRV and reduced viral fitness compared to HIVWT, strongly suggesting that the emergence of V32I plays a critical role in the development of HIV-1's resistance to DRV. Our results would be of benefit in the treatment of HIV-1-infected patients receiving DRV-containing regimens.

Project description:Doravirine is a novel, potent nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) for the treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection that demonstrates a high genetic barrier to resistance and that has been well tolerated in studies to date. Doravirine is a candidate for patients switching from less-well-tolerated NNRTIs, such as efavirenz. While doravirine is a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate, efavirenz induces CYP3A4; therefore, the pharmacokinetics of both drugs following a switch from efavirenz to doravirine were assessed. This was a 3-period, fixed-sequence, open-label study. Healthy adults were dosed with doravirine at 100 mg for 5 days once daily (QD) (period 1). Following a 7-day washout, efavirenz was administered at 600 mg QD for 14 days (period 2). Subsequently, doravirine was administered at 100 mg QD for 14 days (period 3). Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analyses. Twenty healthy subjects were enrolled, and 17 completed the study. One day after efavirenz cessation, the doravirine area under the concentration-time curve from predosing to 24 h postdosing (AUC0-24), maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), and observed plasma concentration at 24 h postdosing (C24) were reduced by 62%, 35%, and 85%, respectively, compared with the values with no efavirenz pretreatment. These decreases recovered to 32%, 14%, and 50% for AUC0-24, Cmax, and C24, respectively, by day 14 after efavirenz cessation. The doravirine C24 reached projected therapeutic trough concentrations, based on in vitro efficacy, on day 2 following efavirenz cessation. Geometric mean efavirenz concentrations were 3,180 ng/ml on day 1 and 95.7 ng/ml on day 15, and efavirenz was present at therapeutic concentrations (>1,000 ng/ml) until day 4. Though doravirine exposure was transiently decreased following efavirenz treatment cessation, dose adjustment may not be necessary to maintain therapeutic concentrations of at least one drug during switching in a virologically suppressed population.

Project description:BackgroundHIV patients on antiretroviral therapy have shown elevated incidence of dyslipidemia, lipodystrophy, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Most studies, however, focus on cohorts from developed countries, with less data available for these co-morbidities in Ethiopia and sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsAdult HIV-negative (n = 36), treatment naïve (n = 51), efavirenz (EFV)-treated (n = 91), nevirapine (NVP)-treated (n = 95), or ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r)-treated (n=44) subjects were recruited from Black Lion Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Aortic pressure, augmentation pressure, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured via applanation tonometry and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and carotid arterial stiffness, and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) were measured via non-invasive ultrasound. Body mass index, waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR), skinfold thickness, and self-reported fat redistribution were used to quantify lipodystrophy. CD4+ cell count, plasma HIV RNA levels, fasting glucose, total-, HDL-, and LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, hsCRP, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, leptin and complete blood count were measured.ResultsPWV and normalized cIMT were elevate and FMD impaired in EFV- and LPV/r-treated subjects compared to NVP-treated subjects; normalized cIMT was also elevated and FMD impaired in the EFV- and LPV/r-treated subjects compared to treatment-naïve subjects. cIMT was not statistically different across groups. Treated subjects exhibited elevated markers of dyslipidemia, inflammation, and lipodystrophy. PWV was associated with age, current EFV and LPV/r used, heart rate, blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL, and hsCRP, FMD with age, HIV duration, WHR, and glucose, and cIMT with age, current EFV use, skinfold thickness, and blood pressure.ConclusionsCurrent EFV- or LPV/r-treatment, but not NVP-treatment, correlated with elevated markers of atherosclerosis, which may involve mechanisms distinct from traditional risk factors.
