A Phase II/III Trial of Lopinavir/Ritonavir Dosed According to the WHO Pediatric Weight Band Dosing Guidelines.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends weight band dosing of antiretrovirals for children. Data are limited describing drug exposure/safety of lopinavir/ritonavir using WHO weight band dosing. METHODS:International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) P1083 was a phase II/III trial assessing the pharmacokinetics (PK) and short-term safety, tolerance and efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir in human immunodeficiency virus-infected children 3-25?kg dosed according to WHO weight bands, with liquid solution or meltrex extrusion tablets. The main PK target was an area under the curve (AUC0-24) of 80-320 ?g·h/mL. RESULTS:Of 97 enrolled participants, median age 2.5 years, 89 (91.8%) completed the protocol. Median LPV dose was 303?mg/m. The geometric mean (90% confidence limits) LPV PK AUC0-24 was 196 (177-217) ?g·h/mL and Cmin was 2.47 (1.52-4.02) ?g/mL. AUC0-24 was within the target range for 79% of participants. The median (Q1, Q3) difference between individual observed PK parameters and those expected if Food and Drug Administration dosing guidelines were followed was 30.7 (7.9, 54.3) for AUC0-24 and 0.56 (0, 1.27) for Cmin. Ten (10%) participants had grade 3 or 4 events deemed related to study treatment, mostly asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities. Three participants died of unrelated study treatment causes. At week 24, 57 of 79 (72%) participants reached viral suppression and the median increase in CD4% (n = 83) was 6.0 (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:WHO weight band dosing guidelines in children achieved adequate LPV plasma exposure but was higher than that expected with Food and Drug Administration dosing guidelines. Despite the higher LPV exposure, the treatment was well tolerated and the 24-week efficacy data were favorable.

Project description:BackgroundLopinavir/ritonavir plasma concentrations are profoundly reduced when co-administered with rifampicin. Super-boosting of lopinavir/ritonavir is limited by nonavailability of single-entity ritonavir, while double-dosing of co-formulated lopinavir/ritonavir given twice-daily produces suboptimal lopinavir concentrations in young children. We evaluated whether increased daily dosing with modified 8-hourly lopinavir/ritonavir 4:1 would maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations of lopinavir in children living with HIV receiving rifampicin-based antituberculosis treatment.MethodsChildren with HIV/tuberculosis coinfection weighing 3.0 to 19.9 kg, on rifampicin-based antituberculosis treatment were commenced or switched to 8-hourly liquid lopinavir/ritonavir 4:1 with increased daily dosing using weight-band dosing approach. A standard twice-daily dosing of lopinavir/ritonavir was resumed 2 weeks after completing antituberculosis treatment. Plasma sampling was conducted during and 4 weeks after completing antituberculosis treatment.ResultsOf 20 children enrolled; 15, 1-7 years old, had pharmacokinetics sampling available for analysis. Lopinavir concentrations (median [range]) on 8-hourly lopinavir/ritonavir co-administered with rifampicin (n = 15; area under the curve0-24 55.32 mg/h/L [0.30-398.7 mg/h/L]; Cmax 3.04 mg/L [0.03-18.6 mg/L]; C8hr 0.90 mg/L [0.01-13.7 mg/L]) were lower than on standard dosing without rifampicin (n = 12; area under the curve24 121.63 mg/h/L [2.56-487.3 mg/h/L]; Cmax 9.45 mg/L [0.39-26.4 mg/L]; C12hr 3.03 mg/L [0.01-17.7 mg/L]). During and after rifampicin cotreatment, only 7 of 15 (44.7%) and 8 of 12 (66.7%) children, respectively, achieved targeted pre-dose lopinavir concentrations ≥1mg/L.ConclusionsModified 8-hourly dosing of lopinavir/ritonavir failed to achieve adequate lopinavir concentrations with concurrent antituberculosis treatment. The subtherapeutic lopinavir exposures on standard dosing after antituberculosis treatment are of concern and requires further evaluation.

Project description:There are limited pharmacokinetic data for use of the first-line antituberculosis drugs during infancy (<12 months of age), when drug disposition may differ. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed in infants routinely receiving antituberculosis treatment, including rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, using World Health Organization-recommended doses. Regulatory-approved single-drug formulations, including two rifampin suspensions, were used on the sampling day. Assays were conducted using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; pharmacokinetic parameters were generated using noncompartmental analysis. Thirty-nine infants were studied; 14 (36%) had culture-confirmed tuberculosis. Fifteen (38%) were premature (<37 weeks gestation); 5 (13%) were HIV infected. The mean corrected age and weight were 6.6 months and 6.45 kg, respectively. The mean maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) for rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol were 2.9, 7.9, 41.9, and 1.3 μg/ml, respectively (current recommended adult target concentrations: 8 to 24, 3 to 6, 20 to 50, and 2 to 6 μg/ml, respectively), and the mean areas under the concentration-time curves from 0 to 8 h (AUC0-8) were 12.1, 24.7, 239.4, and 5.1 μg · h/ml, respectively. After adjusting for age and weight, rifampin exposures for the two formulations used differed inCmax(geometric mean ratio [GMR],2.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47 to 4.41;P= 0.001) and AUC0-8(GMR, 2.52; 95% CI, 1.34 to 4.73;P= 0.005). HIV status was associated with lower pyrazinamideCmax(GMR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.96;P= 0.013) and AUC0-8(GMR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.90;P< 0.001) values. No other important differences were observed due to age, weight, prematurity, ethnicity, or gender. In summary, isoniazid and pyrazinamide concentrations in infants compared well with proposed adult target concentrations; ethambutol concentrations were lower but similar to previously reported pediatric studies. The low rifampin exposures require further investigation. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT01637558.).
