Pharmacokinetics of Increased Nelfinavir Plasma Concentrations in Women During Pregnancy and Postpartum.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate the safety, acceptability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of an increased dose of nelfinavir (NFV) during the third trimester of pregnancy. The study was registered as part of the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials network (IMPAACT-P1026s), an ongoing multicenter prospective cohort study of antiretroviral PK during pregnancy (NCT00042289). NFV intensive PK evaluations were performed at steady state during the third trimester of pregnancy and 2-3 weeks postpartum. Plasma concentrations of NFV and its active metabolite, hydroxyl-tert-butylamide (M8) were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. A total of 18 women are included in the analysis. NFV area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) with t
