Reference data for comparison with PETITE study AUC0–inf: PENTA-15 children, ABC and 3TC steady state, AUC0–12SS were 5.43 µg.h/mL (95% CI: 4.45 to 6.62) at 8.0 mg/kg twice daily and 4.74 µg.h/mL (95% CI: 3.95 to 5.70) at 4.0 mg/kg twice daily, respectively.[19] In the study conducted by Foissac et al, infants aged 6 weeks, with median (range) LPV steady-state AUC0–12SS 54.5 µg.h/mL (33.9–85.8), received LPV/r 40/10 mg twice daily.[27]
