95% CI - Nadir Onlus
L’importanza delle interazioni
farmacologiche nella gestione
dell’HIV/AIDS, delle comorbosità e
della co-infezione HCV
Stefano Bonora
Università di Torino
12 Aprile 2013
Premessa
 Un farmaco introdotto nell’organismo (per via orale,
parenterale, ecc.) può subire varie trasformazioni, in
funzione delle sue caratteristiche fisico-chimiche, ed
essere eliminato per vie diverse, in varie forme
molecolari.
 Può accadere che un farmaco non venga quasi per nulla
modificato e sia eliminato come tale, oppure che subisca
numerose trasformazioni verso forme che possono
essere ancora farmacologicamente attive (o anche più
attive rispetto alla molecola originale) oppure del tutto
inerti (non attive) per quanto concerne l’effetto
desiderato.
Premessa
 Le interazioni possono avere differenti meccanismi (non
solo inibizione o induzione del metabolismo).
 Le interazioni possono alterare la quantità di farmaco
disponibile nell’organismo con potenziale impatto su
efficacia e tossicità.
 L’effetto di un farmaco interagente nel tempo è diverso in
funzione del meccanismo di interazione.

Considerations in Management
of the Older HIV Patient
Earlier appearance of comorbidities supports an earlier
‘older’ age designation in HIV
patients, ie 55 vs 65 years!
Drug Interactions will be greater as

Failure to Recognise Drug Interactions
• HIV drugs amongst the most therapeutically risky
- 20-40% patients on ARVs at risk of clinically significant interactions
• PIs > NNRTIs >> MVC/RAL > NRTIs
- PIs associated with 5-fold prevalence risk of significant DDIs compared
to raltegravir, and 10-fold risk compared to NRTIs
• Physicians recognise only around a third correctly
- Pharmacist pre-screening of 200 HIV clinic patients told physicians
something they did not know about medication history (20%), adherence
(31%) or drug interactions (38%), and changed patient management in
13.6%

Quindi
 Il rischio di interazione è funzione del numero di farmaci
assunti dal paziente.
 Tale rischio è probabilmente sottostimato nella pratica
clinica.
 Alcune classi di farmaci hanno un rischio di interazione
significativamente ridotto rispetto ad altre (per es. INI,
inibitori dell’integrasi vs. NNRTI o IP).

Rilpivirine Drug Interaction:
Rationale for Contraindication & Spacing
• H2 antagonists must be taken 12 hours before or 4 hours after RPV
since when taken 2 hours before RPV resulted in 85% reduction in
RPV exposures
• PPIs are contraindicated with RPV due to significant 40%
reduction in RPV exposure
• Antacids should be given ≥ 2h before or ≥ 4h after RPV

Epatite C e HIV: cenni
 Per una persona sieropositiva, che deve assumere una terapia per
tutta la vita, prendersi cura del proprio fegato è una priorità.
 Il fegato è il principale organo deputato al metabolismo e alla
detossificazione dai farmaci e, quindi, soggetto a danno da parte
delle sostanze chimiche e farmacologiche da cui ci depura.
 Oggi esistono terapie che aumentano in modo sostanziale la
possibilità di un successo terapeutico per la cura dell’epatite.
 Affiancare queste nuove terapie a combinazioni farmacologiche
anti-HIV con scarse interazioni aumenta la probabilità dell’esito
positivo di questo percorso, come ci dicono gli studi clinici sui
farmaci anti-HIV di nuove classi (es.: INI).

Cardiovascular drugs and HAART: scarce data
• Digoxin serum concentrations were increased by
86% with RTV coadministration due to inhibition
of P- glycoprotein (NO DATA IN HIV+)
• Many antiarrhythmic medications are CYP450
3A4 substrates. The use of amiodarone, bepridil,
flecainide, propafenone and quinidine are
contraindicated with PI/r due to the potential risk
of exacerbating cardiac arrhythmias (NO

DHHS Guidelines (2002 -2008):
Rifabutin 150 mg (half dose) every other day or three
times a week is recommended
10 patients with HIV infection and active tuberculosis
Lopinavir-ritonavir at, twice daily + rifabutin at 150 mg
thrice weekly: 9 of 10 had low rifabutin Cmax values
values for the area under the plasma concentration–time
curve of rifabutinwere as low or lower than those
associated with treatment failure or relapse and with
acquired rifamycin resistance
One of the 10 patients experienced relapse with acquired
rifamycin resistance.

Statistical vs. Clinical Significance
• A statistically significant effect may not be
clinically relevant
• A clinically relevant PK interaction would require
a dose modification/warning/contra-indication
A consistent 10% decrease in
AUC in 10 subjects is statistically
significant (p<0.01), but not
clinically relevant.

†
Number of evaluable patients in each treatment group according to the specified approach to handling missing data.
The 95% CIs and p-values for treatment differences were calculated using weights proportional to the size of each stratum (screening vRNA level >50,000 copies/mL or
≤50,000 copies/mL).
* RAL would be considered non-inferior to EFV if the lower bound of the 95% CI for the difference in response rates was above -12%, and superior to EFV if the entire 95% CI was >0.
Two post-hoc snapshot analyses with windows of +/- 6 weeks or +/- 12 weeks around the Week-240 visit were performed to test the robustness of the prespecified analyses:
1.
The 6-week window resulted in the additional exclusion of 8 patients falling outside of the window (6 came in too early and 2 came in too late) compared to the protocol-specified
NC=F analysis which used the nominal visit data and yielded response rates of 66.2% (186/281) in the RAL group and 59.6% (168/282) in the EFV group with a ∆ (95% CI) =
6.6% (-1.4, 14.5). All 8 excluded patients were in the RAL group, with 7 having vRNA levels <50 copies/mL at their nominal Week-240 visit.
2.
Since more patients fell outside the 6-week window for the Week-240 visit compared to previous time points, an analysis using a +/- 12 weeks window (extending the window to
the prior visit at Week 228) was untaken at Week 240 which yielded response rates of 70.8% (199/281) in the RAL group and 62.8% (177/282) in the EFV group with a ∆ (95%
CI) = 8.1% (0.3, 15.8).

Patients who tolerated EFV, with
less than 50 copies/ml HIV-RNA,
were randomized into two groups:
the RAL-first group started with
RAL (400 mg twice daily) and EFV
placebo, and the EFV- first group
with EFV (600 mg once daily) and
RAL placebo. After 2 weeks, both
groups switched to the alternate
regimen.
Half of patients previously on a stable EFV preferred to switch to RAL,
after double-blind exposure to RAL for 2 weeks. Substitution of EFV by
RAL significantly impacted on lipid levels, stress, and anxiety scores.
