Summary
Efavirenz (EFV)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains the preferred regimen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children aged 3 years or older on rifampin-containing antituberculosis (anti-TB) therapy. This is because drug interactions between first-line anti-TB therapy with protease inhibitors (PIs) are more severe to adjust for, and interactions with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are not well studied in that age group. Although, current weight-based EFV dosing recommendation is not optimal in some children, pharmacokinetic-treatment response (PK-PD) data to guide optimal dosing of EFV during concurrent rifampin-containing therapy in children is very limited. The study team propose that EFV concentrations outside the optimal therapeutic range in children will be associated with virologic failure due to lack of efficacy because of low concentrations or increased central nervous system (CNS) toxicities from high concentrations leading to poor medication adherence. The study will determine virological suppression rates in HIV-infected children with and without TB coinfection treated with standard efavirenz-based therapy and examine the factors contributing to poor virologic response.
Description
In a previous study, the study team found that first-line anti-TB therapy had minimal effect on EFV pharmacokinetics (PK) at the population level, but children with TB/HIV coinfection on anti-TB therapy had a trend towards worse virologic outcome compared to those with only HIV infection. Due to the small sample size, the study team were unable to examined the patient factors contributing to the poor virologic response. The study team hypothesized that virologic suppression rates on EFV-based therapy is significantly lower in children with TB/HIV coinfection compared to those with HIV alone. In addition, virologic response will be dependent EFV plasma concentrations, CYP2B6 516 G>T genotype and/or adherence level. This hypothesis is based on the premise that extremes (low and high EFV concentration, respectively) could lead to virologic failure because of lack of efficacy or intolerable side effects leading to poor adherence. The current study will investigate the effect of anti-TB therapy, CYP2B6 genotype and pharmacokinetically determined adherence level on virologic response in children with TB/HIV coinfection treated with EFV-based ART.
