Background: Doravirine (DOR) is a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) active against both wild-type HIV-1 and the most common NNRTI-resistant variants. DOR, alone or as a fixed dose combination (FDC) of DOR/lamivudine (3TC)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), is approved for treatment in antiretroviral-naïve and virologically-suppressed adults with HIV-1 infection. IMPAACT 2014 investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of DOR as a component of the FDC in adolescents with HIV-1 through 24 weeks. The 100mg dose of DOR evaluated in this study was previously confirmed based on 2-week safety and single dose PK in adolescents >45kg.
Methods: Adolescents with HIV-1, between the ages of 12 and 18 years and weighing at least 45 kg who were antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve or virologically-suppressed on stable ART, were enrolled into an open-label trial evaluating the once daily FDC tablet regimen of DOR 100mg, 3TC 300mg, and TDF 300mg. Safety, virologic and PK data were evaluated through Week 24 of therapy.
Results: Forty-five adolescents (43 virologically-suppressed on stable ART and 2 ART-naïve at enrollment) were evaluated. Mean age of the participants was 15 years (range 12-17 years) with a mean weight of 53.8 kg (range 45.1 - 79.8 kg). Overall, the FDC of DOR/3TC/TDF was well tolerated through 24 weeks. There was a low incidence of drug-related AEs (2.2% with 95% CI [0.1-11.8]), no drug- related SAEs or AEs ≥Grade 3 and no treatment discontinuation due to AEs. In the virologically-suppressed on stable ART participants there were no protocol- defined virologic failures and HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL was maintained at 95.3% with a 95% CI [84.2, 99.4]. One of the 2 ART-naïve participants achieved virologic suppression by Week 24 and the other experienced protocol-defined virologic failure related to adherence issues. DOR geometric mean steady state trough concentration at Week 4 was 747 nM and subsequent concentrations were above the lower efficacy bound (>560 nM) for adults with HIV receiving 100mg QD DOR. PK for 3TC and TFV from the FDC were consistent with reported PK in adults receiving each drug individually.
Conclusion: At Week 24 the PK, safety, and tolerability of DOR as an FDC of DOR/3TC/TDF in adolescents were comparable to data reported in adults. Overall virologic efficacy in the trial showed favorable antiretroviral effect comparable to data reported in adults.
