Raltegravir  MOA: irreversible binding to the Integrase preventing strand transfer into host genome  Metabolized UGT1A1  1 study (P_11)failed to show an association due to extreme interpatient variability (CV 92%)

PK-PD of RAL  Cmin poor predictor. AUC ?  Model : HOSCD4R5 cells and HIV-1 cell modified to express fluorescence.  Infected cells using bead cells x 30min then wash out.  Counted fluorescence, which reflects occupency at the integrase site. 

Dissociation of RAL from INT  Window of 4-12 hrs, time after which integration cannot occur  Residency time RA = 5-6 hrs  Impact of N155H: increase dissociation by 10-fold  This parameter would be potentially the best marker of activity  Analogous to One shot Kill

Results

Results The variability in raltegravir Cmax and AUC was higher in the presence of ezetimibe. Six (30%) of the volunteers had Ctrough Which were lower than the reported IC95 of 15 ng/mL.

Darunavir 900/100mg  Simplification using vIQ 30 pts with VL 12 weeks 30 pts with VL 12 weeks vIQ (Ctrough / 0.55 x FC IC50) > 2 vIQ (Ctrough / 0.55 x FC IC50) > 2 Ranodmized to continue DRV/r 600/100 mg BID or switch to 900/100mg qd Ranodmized to continue DRV/r 600/100 mg BID or switch to 900/100mg qd If vIQ < 1.5 x 2 values, then switched back If vIQ < 1.5 x 2 values, then switched back PTs had a medium exposure of 5 PI, and a median number protease mutations = 11 PTs had a medium exposure of 5 PI, and a median number protease mutations = 11

Results  3 patients switched back to BID due to low vIQ  All maintained VL<50 copies/mL  DRV Cmin lower in qd group (GMR 0.72 [ ])  TC no different between groups  TG 159  140 mg/dL (p=0.031)

ATV + TDF CONCLUSIONS Despite low atazanavir trough levels, selected patients may be virologically controlled on regimens including unboosted atazanavir with tenofovir. Harris. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_21

ATVr +FAM: Saga Continues !  Assess ATVr 300/100mg is affected by FAM 20mg BID FAM 20mg BID FAM 40mg BID FAM 40mg BID 2hrs apart or at same time 2hrs apart or at same time With or without TDF With or without TDF  In HIV-Infected patients Wang. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_30

ATVr +FAM: With NO TDF  Fam 20 BID did not decrease Cmin  Fam 40 BID decreased Cmin by 20% Wang. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_30

ATVr +FAM: With TDF  Fam 20 BID decreased Cmin by 19%  Fam 40 BID decreased Cmin by 25% Wang. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_30

ATVr +FAM: Temporal Separation  Separation of the dose does not change ATV Cmin.  10 hr separation between doses is still required Wang. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_30

Pregnancy  Several studies reported decrease exposure of PIs in 3 rd trimester.  Some advocate increase dose  60 pregnant women on LPVr, ATV and NVP Sample each trimester, at delivery, in the cord and post partum (1-2 months) Sample each trimester, at delivery, in the cord and post partum (1-2 months) Total and free plasma concentration Total and free plasma concentration Interim analysis (42 pregnancies) Interim analysis (42 pregnancies) Fayet. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_57

Pregnancy  LPV: Fu, free and total AUC, Cmin not affected  ATV: Total AUC and Cmin decreased by 36%, while total CL increased. BUT free Cmin and AUC not affected (Fu tends to increase)  NVP: Total AUC and Cmin decreased by 32% while total CL tended to increase. Free AUC and Cmin decreased in parallel  Cord to mother ratio (C/M) LPV and ATV: free C/M ratio were 2-fold; free fraction higher than in mothers plasma LPV and ATV: free C/M ratio were 2-fold; free fraction higher than in mothers plasma NVP: free fractions similar NVP: free fractions similar Fayet. IWCPHIVT 2009, P_57

Malarone PIs - EFV  Malarone = atovaquone + proguanil  Proguanil is metabolized by 2C19 to cycloguanil (active moiety)  Atovaquone: likely metabolized through glucoronidation  PIs and NNRTIS can induce 2C19 (1)  LPVr or RTV can induce glucuronidation  However, Proguanil (not cycloguanil) is the synergistic compound to atovaquone (2) ATV/r LPV/r EFV Health volunteers HIV + 1 month Single dose Malarone Also looked at 2C19*2 and -*3 van Lui.
