Tenofovir and tenofovir-diphosphate concentrations during pregnancy among HIV-uninfected women using oral preexposure prophylaxis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Pregnancy is a time of increased HIV acquisition risk and pregnancy reduces concentrations of antiretrovirals used for treatment. We assessed whether pregnancy lowers concentrations of tenofovir (TFV) and tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) among HIV-uninfected women using oral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). METHODS:We analyzed data from an open-label PrEP study, comparing concentrations of TFV in plasma and TFV-DP in dried blood spots (DBS) among 37 pregnant women and 97 nonpregnant women. Analyses controlled for adherence from daily electronic monitoring. RESULTS:The average plasma concentration of TFV among pregnant women was 34.7?ng/ml with 22.2 average recorded doses over the prior month versus 86.5?ng/ml with 23.1 doses among nonpregnant women. After controlling for adherence, TFV concentrations were 58% lower among pregnant women, a statistically significant difference of -50.4?ng/ml (95% CI -68.3 to -32.5). The average TFV-DP concentration was 450.3?fmol/punch among pregnant women and 636.7?fmol/punch among nonpregnant women. This difference was not statistically significant after adjusting for adherence; however, among those with quantifiable TFV-DP, concentrations were 27% lower during pregnancy [-202?fmol/punch (95% CI -384 to -19)]. Among participants with samples before and during pregnancy, there were significant decreases during pregnancy, controlling for adherence: -28.1?ng/ml TFV (95% CI -52.3 to -4.0) and -289.2?fmol/punch TFV-DP (95% CI -439.0 to -139.3). CONCLUSION:Consistent with studies among HIV-infected women on ART, we found TFV and TFV-DP concentrations were lower during pregnancy. There is no established TFV concentration threshold to achieve HIV prevention. Additional pharmacokinetic studies and studies of PrEP efficacy in pregnancy are needed.

Project description:Reproductive-age women need effective interventions to prevent the acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess daily treatment with oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), oral tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF-FTC), or 1% tenofovir (TFV) vaginal gel as preexposure prophylaxis against HIV-1 infection in women in South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. HIV-1 testing was performed monthly, and plasma TFV levels were assessed quarterly.Of 12,320 women who were screened, 5029 were enrolled in the study. The rate of retention in the study was 91% during 5509 person-years of follow-up. A total of 312 HIV-1 infections occurred; the incidence of HIV-1 infection was 5.7 per 100 person-years. In the modified intention-to-treat analysis, the effectiveness was -49.0% with TDF (hazard ratio for infection, 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97 to 2.29), -4.4% with TDF-FTC (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.49), and 14.5% with TFV gel (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.21). In a random sample, TFV was detected in 30%, 29%, and 25% of available plasma samples from participants randomly assigned to receive TDF, TDF-FTC, and TFV gel, respectively. Independent predictors of TFV detection included being married, being older than 25 years of age, and being multiparous. Detection of TFV in plasma was negatively associated with characteristics predictive of HIV-1 acquisition. Elevations of serum creatinine levels were seen more frequently among participants randomly assigned to receive oral TDF-FTC than among those assigned to receive oral placebo (1.3% vs. 0.2%, P=0.004). We observed no significant differences in the frequencies of other adverse events.None of the drug regimens we evaluated reduced the rates of HIV-1 acquisition in an intention-to-treat analysis. Adherence to study drugs was low. (Funded by the National Institutes of Health; VOICE ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00705679.).

Project description:Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) use has been associated with declines in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) when used as part of antiretroviral treatment by persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, but limited data are available for risk when used as preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV-1 prevention.To determine whether TDF-based PrEP causes eGFR decline in HIV-1-uninfected adults.A per-protocol safety analysis of changes in eGFR in the Partners PrEP Study, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of daily oral TDF and emtricitabine (FTC)-TDF PrEP among heterosexual HIV-1-uninfected members of serodiscordant couples in Kenya and Uganda. The trial was conducted from 2008 to 2012.Predefined outcomes of this analysis were mean eGFR change and a 25% or greater eGFR decline from baseline. The eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation.Of 4640 participants in the once-daily TDF (n?=?1548), FTC-TDF (n?=?1545), or placebo (n?=?1547) groups, 63% were men. At enrollment, median age was 35 years (range, 18-64 years), and mean eGFR was 130 mL/min/1.73 m². During a median follow-up of 18 months (interquartile range 12-27 months), mean within-group eGFR change from baseline was +0.14 mL/min/1.73 m² for TDF, -0.22 mL/min/1.73 m² for FTC-TDF, and +1.37 mL/min/1.73 m² for placebo, translating into average declines in eGFR attributable to PrEP vs placebo of -1.23 mL/min/1.73 m² (95% CI, -2.06 to -0.40; P?=?.004) for TDF and -1.59 mL/min/1.73 m² (95% CI, -2.44 to -0.74; P?<?.001) for FTC-TDF. The difference in mean eGFR between PrEP and placebo appeared by 1 month after randomization, was stable through 12 months, and then appeared to wane thereafter. The respective proportions of persons who developed a confirmed 25% or greater eGFR decline from baseline by 12 and 24 months was 1.3% and 1.8% for TDF and 1.2% and 2.5% for FTC-TDF, and these frequencies were not statistically different from the confirmed decline in the placebo group (0.9% and 1.3% by 12 and 24 months, respectively).In this large randomized, placebo-controlled trial among heterosexual persons, with median follow-up of 18 months and maximum follow-up of 36 months, daily oral TDF-based PrEP resulted in a small but nonprogressive decline in eGFR that was not accompanied by a substantial increase in the risk of clinically relevant (?25%) eGFR decline.clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00557245.
