Abstract
Background and objective: Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) has been widely used in HIV/HBV co-infected pregnant-women. We aim to characterize the maternal-fetal (m-f) pharmacokinetic (PK) of LPV/r and support the dose optimization and potential drug-drug interaction (DDI) evaluation in this population.
Methods: Lopinavir PK characteristics in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis B virus (HIV/HBV) co-infected pregnant women (n = 35) and fetus were calculated using non-compartmental analysis followed by quantification of maternal PK characteristics using population PK (PopPK) analysis. A maternal-fetal lopinavir physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed by incorporating trans-placental transfer, disease- and pregnancy-related physiological changes. This final population PBPK model was applied to simulate different dose regimens of LPV/r and potential DDI risks under different drug combination scenarios.
Results: (AUClast) of lopinavir in co-infected pregnancy was first reported to be 34.1 and 31.0 mg/L/h for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. The PBPK-simulated PK parameters were within 0.75 to ~ 1.16-fold of the observations at different stages of pregnancy. The m-f PBPK model-simulated umbilical vein:maternal plasma (UV:MP) ratio of lopinavir was around 0.16 at late trimester, which is consistent with the PopPK model-simulated individual value of 0.116. Simulated results indicated that a standard dose of LPV/r (400/100 mg Q12 h) might not target the effective therapeutic concentration. Model-simulated DDI results suggested that lopinavir increased dose or shortened dosing interval when co-administered with rifampicin in HIV/HBV co-infected pregnancy.
Conclusions: This work successfully applied model-informed approaches to quantitatively assess lopinavir m-f PK and also provided a novel strategy for DDI risk evaluation and dosing optimization for other P-gp substrates in HIV/HBV co-infected pregnant women.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Pharmacokinetics promotes the continuing development of clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the improvement of drug therapy, and for furthering postgraduate education in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
Pharmacokinetics, the study of drug disposition in the body, is an integral part of drug development and rational use. Knowledge and application of pharmacokinetic principles leads to accelerated drug development, cost effective drug use and a reduced frequency of adverse effects and drug interactions.
