Limportanza delle interazioni farmacologiche
nella gestione dellHIV/AIDS, delle comorbosità e
della co-infezione HCV
  • Stefano Bonora
  • Università di Torino
  • 12 Aprile 2013

2
Premessa
  • Un farmaco introdotto nellorganismo (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
    leffetto desiderato.

3
Premessa
  • Le interazioni possono avere differenti
    meccanismi (non solo inibizione o induzione del
    metabolismo).
  • Le interazioni possono alterare la quantità di
    farmaco disponibile nellorganismo con potenziale
    impatto su efficacia e tossicità.
  • Leffetto 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 co-morbidities supports an
earlier older age designation in HIV patients,
ie 55 vs 65 years!
7
Drug Interactions will be greater as patients age
gt 50 years

Failure to Recognise Drug Interactions
  • HIV drugs amongst the most therapeutically risky
  • - 20-40 patients on ARVs at risk of clinically
    significant interactions
  • PIs gt NNRTIs gtgt MVC/RAL gt 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 dellintegrasi
    vs. NNRTI o IP).

Rilpivirine Drug InteractionRationale 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

Famotidine 40 mg single dose taken 2 hours before rilpivirine ? 85(? 88 to ? 81) ? 76(? 80 to ? 72)

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 dellepatite.
  • Affiancare queste nuove terapie a combinazioni
    farmacologiche anti-HIV con scarse interazioni
    aumenta la probabilità dellesito positivo di
    questo percorso, come ci dicono gli studi clinici
    sui farmaci anti-HIV di nuove classi (es. INI).

Statins and HAART management of drug-drug

Nachega JB et al AIDS 2012
25
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
    CLINICAL DATA).

26
Corticosteroids
  • Case report of Cushings syndrome and adrenal
    suppression in a patient on ATV/r and
    dexamethasone 0.1 eye drops1
  • Cushings syndrome reported with the use of intra
    articular triamcinolone injections in patients on
    boosted PIs24
  • Several cases of Cushings syndrome with inhaled
    fluticasone and ritonavir7

  • Le interazioni farmacologiche esistono e bisogna
    conviverci.
  • Il numero di possibili interazioni è altissimo,
    pertanto non è prevedibile avere dati certi di
    farmacocinetica per tutte le possibili
    interazioni.

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-indicat
    ion

A consistent 10 decrease in AUC in 10 subjects
is statistically significant (plt0.01), 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 gt50,000 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 gt0. 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 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 NCF 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 lt50 copies/mL at their nominal Week-240 visit. 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). Number of evaluable patients in each treatment group according to the specified approach to handling missing data.

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 gt0. 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 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 NCF 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 lt50 copies/mL at their nominal Week-240 visit. 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). 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 gt50,000 copies/mL or 50,000 copies/mL).

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.
