Summary of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor pharmacokinetic studies during pregnancy.

Antiretroviral Study design Participants AUCt (μg*hr/mL) Cmin (μg/mL) Comments

Longitudinal, steady state,
intensive PK sampling over
24 hours
2nd trimester: n=9 58.4
(47.6 – 64.5)
0.86
(0.78 – 1.05)
No statistically significant
differences were observed.

Individual AUCx above the 10th
percentile of non-pregnant adults
(37.5 mcg/mL):
  • 2nd trimester: 6 of 9 participants

  • 3rd trimester: 12 of 15 participants

  • Postpartum: 8 of 9 participants

dose while fasting
2nd trimester:

(2.1 – 18.5)
0.047
(<0.01 – 0.162)
AUCx was statistically lower in
both the 2nd and 3rd trimester
compared to postpartum.

Cmin was statistically lower in the
2nd trimester compared to
postpartum.

No differences were observed
between 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
3rd trimester:

dose with breakfast
3rd trimester:

0.077
(0.043, 0.137)
90% confidence intervals of the
geometric mean ratios (3nd
trimester:postpartum) of all PK
parameters included 1, except
AUCτ [0.71 (0.53 - 0.96)].

11 of 17 patients (65%) with
paired visits had lower exposure
during the 3rd trimester vs.
postpartum.
Postpartum:

Abbreviations: AUCx, area under the concentration time curve for the dosing interval; Cmin, minimum concentration observed; PK, pharmacokinetic.
