Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir 400 mg twice daily vs. raltegravir 800 mg once daily in patients on unboosted atazanavir. Unboosted atazanavir increases plasma levels of raltegravir 400 mg twice daily by 72%, suggesting that combined use of atazanavir and raltegravir once daily is possible. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this regimen. DESIGN: Open-label, multi-centre, phase-ll, multiple-dose study performed in two sequential periods of four weeks. METHODS: HIV-infected patients with undetectable viral load and no virological failure were eligible. In the first period patients received raltegravir 400 mg twice daily, atazanavir 600 mg once daily and either lamivudine 300 mg or emtricitabine 200 mg once daily. At week 2 a 24-hour pharmacokinetic curve, viral load and Cmin of atazanavir were determined. If at week 2 viral load remained undetectable, Cmin of atazanavir was > 0.12 mg/L, and the regimen was well tolerated, patients changed to once daily dosing. At week 6, a 24-hour pharmacokinetic curve, viral load and Cmin of atazanavir were repeated. RESULTS: 18 patients 13 femates] were enrolled; 17 patients completed the study. The mean AUC0-24h of raltegravir 800 mg once daily was 79% (CI90 24-157%) higher than the AUC0-12h of 400 mg twice daily. The AUC0-24h of 800 mg was not significantly different from two times the AUC0-12h of 400 mg twice daily (P = 0.959). The Cmax and Cmin with raltegravir 800 mg once daily were 33% [CI90-11-97%] higher and 81% [CI90 58-91%] lower, respectively, than with 400 mg twice daily. Pharmacokinetic parameters of atazanavir were similar during both regimens. In all patients viral load remained undetectable and the regimen was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: A once daily regimen of raltegravir 800 mg in the presence of atazanavir 600 mg and lamivudine or emtricitabine results in AUC comparable to rattegravir 400 mg twice daily.
