Open-label study of a twice-daily indinavir 800-mg/ritonavir 200-mg regimen in HIV-infected adults failing a protease inhibitor regimen.

There is no standard treatment of HIV-infected patients who fail protease inhibitor (PI)-containing antiretroviral therapy. This open-label, noncomparative 24-week study with a 24-week extension evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of twice-daily indinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in this population. Presented here are the results of the 24-week study. Patients were HIV-infected adults who had prior viral RNA (vRNA) suppression (<400 copies/mL), subsequent failure (> or =400 and < or =100,000 copies/mL) on antiretroviral therapy, and at least one new NRTI available for treatment. The proportions of patients achieving plasma vRNA <400 and <50 copies/mL were analyzed with data as observed (DAO) and intention-to-treat (ITT) models using generalized estimating equations (GEE) or counting noncompleters as failures (NC = F). Mean changes from baseline in vRNA and CD4 cell count were evaluated using DAO and an ITT mixed-model approach. Sixty-three patients (87% male) with a mean age of 42 years and mean baseline vRNA and CD4 cell counts of 3.8 log(10) copies/mL and 360 cells/mm(3), respectively, were enrolled. The proportion (95% confidence interval) of patients achieving vRNA <400 and <50 copies/mL at week 24 were 76% (61%, 87%) and 50% (35%, 65%) for DAO, 64% (50%, 75%) and 43% (30%, 56%) for GEE, and 56% (43%, 68%) and 37% (25%, 50%) for NC = F, respectively. At Week 24, baseline vRNA decreased by >1.0 log(10) copies/mL and CD4 cell counts increased by approximately 90 cells/mm(3). Three patients (5%) experienced serious drug-related adverse events. Seven patients (11%) discontinued treatment due to clinical or laboratory adverse events. In this study, the enhanced, twice-daily regimen of indinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg plus 2 NRTIs provided suppression of HIV in many patients who had failed a PI-containing regimen and was generally well tolerated.

Simple and simultaneous determination of the hiv-protease inhibitors amprenavir, atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir plus M8 nelfinavir metabolite and the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors efavirenz and nevirapine in human plasma by reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

Several studies suggest that therapeutic drug monitoring of protease inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors may contribute to the clinical outcome of HIV-infected patients. Because of the growing number of antiretroviral drugs and of drug combinations than can be administered to these patients, an accurate high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method allowing the simultaneous determination of these drugs may be useful. To date, the authors present the first simultaneous HPLC determination of the new protease inhibitor atazanavir with all the others currently in use (M8 nelfinavir metabolite included) and the 2 widely used nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors efavirenz and nevirapine. This simple HPLC method allows the analysis all these drugs at a single ultraviolet wavelength following a 1-step liquid-liquid extraction procedure. A 500-muL plasma sample was spiked with internal standard and subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using by diethyl ether at pH 10. HPLC was performed using a Symmetry Shield RP18 and gradient elution. All the drugs of interest and internal standard were detected with ultraviolet detection at 210 nm. Calibration curves were linear in the range 50-10,000 ng/mL. The observed concentrations of the quality controls at plasma concentrations ranging from 50 to 5000 ng/mL for these drugs showed that the overall accuracy varied from 92% to 104% and 92% to 106% for intraday and day-to-day analysis, respectively. No metabolites of the assayed compounds or other drugs commonly coadministered to HIV-positive patients were found to coelute with the drugs of interest or with the internal standard. This assay was developed for the purpose of therapeutic monitoring (TDM) in HIV-infected patients.
