Darunavir, ritonavir, and etravirine pharmacokinetics in the cervicovaginal fluid and blood plasma of HIV-infected women.

ABSTRACT: We report darunavir, ritonavir, and etravirine pharmacokinetics in cervicovaginal fluid and blood plasma for women from the Gender, Race and Clinical Experience (GRACE) study. Eight women received darunavir-ritonavir (600/100 mg) twice daily (b.i.d.); two also received etravirine (200 mg) b.i.d. Week 4 paired blood plasma and cervicovaginal fluid samples were collected over 12 h. Darunavir and etravirine cervicovaginal fluid exposures were higher than blood plasma exposures; ritonavir cervicovaginal fluid exposure was lower than blood plasma exposure. The high exposures of darunavir and etravirine in cervicovaginal fluid warrant further evaluation of these drugs for use in HIV-1 prevention.

Project description:Fostemsavir is a prodrug of temsavir, a first-in-class attachment inhibitor that binds directly to HIV-1 gp120, preventing initial viral attachment and entry into host CD4+ T cells with demonstrated efficacy in phase 2 and 3. Temsavir is a P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate; its metabolism is mediated by esterase and CYP3A4 enzymes. Drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A, P-glycoprotein, and BCRP may affect temsavir concentrations. Understanding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) following fostemsavir coadministration with antiretrovirals approved for HIV-1-infected treatment-experienced patients, including darunavir plus cobicistat (DRV/c) or DRV plus low-dose ritonavir (DRV/r) and etravirine, is clinically relevant. Open-label, single-sequence, multiple-dose, multicohort DDI studies were conducted in healthy participants (n = 46; n = 32). The primary objective was to assess the effects of DRV/r, etravirine, DRV/r plus etravirine, cobicistat, and DRV/c on temsavir systemic exposures; safety was a secondary objective. Compared with fostemsavir alone, coadministration with DRV/r increased the temsavir maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time curve in one dosing interval (AUCtau), and plasma trough concentration (Ctau) by 52%, 63%, and 88%, respectively, while etravirine decreased the temsavir Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctau by ∼50% each. DRV/r plus etravirine increased the temsavir Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctau by 53%, 34%, and 33%, respectively. Compared with fostemsavir alone, coadministration with cobicistat increased the temsavir Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctau by 71%, 93%, and 136%, respectively; DRV/c increased the temsavir Cmax, AUCtau, and Ctau by 79%, 97%, and 124%, respectively. Fostemsavir with all combinations was generally well tolerated. No dose adjustment is required for fostemsavir when coadministered with strong CYP3A inhibitors, P-glycoprotein inhibitors, and modest inducers, including regimens with DRV/r, DRV/c, cobicistat, etravirine, and DRV/r plus etravirine based on the therapeutic margin for temsavir (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no. NCT02063360 and NCT02277600).

Project description:ObjectivesAntiretroviral therapy during pregnancy is recommended to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and for maternal care management. Physiological changes during pregnancy can affect pharmacokinetics, potentially altering pharmacological activity. We therefore evaluated the pharmacokinetics of twice-daily (bid) darunavir in HIV-1-infected pregnant women.MethodsHIV-1-infected pregnant women receiving an antiretroviral regimen containing darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg bid were enrolled in this study. Total and unbound darunavir and total ritonavir plasma concentrations were obtained over 12 h during the second and third trimesters and postpartum. Total darunavir and ritonavir plasma concentrations were determined using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assay and unbound darunavir was determined using (14) C-darunavir-fortified plasma. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived using noncompartmental analysis.ResultsData were available for 14 women. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h (AUC12h) for total darunavir was 17-24% lower during pregnancy than postpartum. The AUC12h for unbound darunavir was minimally reduced during pregnancy vs. postpartum. The minimum plasma concentration (Cmin) of total and unbound darunavir was on average 43-86% and 10-14% higher, respectively, during pregnancy vs. postpartum. The antiviral response (< 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL) was 33% at baseline and increased to 73-90% during treatment; the percentage CD4 count increased over time. One serious adverse event was reported (increased transaminase). All 12 infants born to women remaining in the study at delivery were HIV-1-negative; four of these infants were premature.ConclusionsTotal darunavir exposure decreased during pregnancy. No clinically relevant change in unbound (active) darunavir occurred during pregnancy, suggesting that no dose adjustment is required for darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg bid in pregnant women.
