IMPAACT 1092: Phase IV Evaluation Of The Steady State Pharmacokinetics Of Zidovudine, Lamivudine, and Lopinavir/Ritonavir in Severely Malnourished HIV-1-Infected Children
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating ZDV+3TC+LPV/r for HIV Positive and Malnourished. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 5 sites in 4 countries.
Detailed Summary
Children living with HIV from sub-Saharan Africa often present with severe malnutrition. In severe malnutrition, metabolic and/or gut structural derangement may lead to inadequate antiretroviral (ARV) absorption and/or erratic drug levels. The greater surface area to weight ratio in severely malnourished children could also place them at higher risk of under dosing compared to children with mild to moderate malnutrition. However, limited data are available on the pharmacokinetics of ARVs in severely malnourished children. This study addressed this critical gap in knowledge by evaluating the PK of zidovudine (ZDV), lamivudine (3TC), and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in severely malnourished children living with HIV, compared to children with normal nutrition to mild malnutrition living with HIV.
