Daily ritonavir-boosted darunavir for viral suppression in pregnancy (DRV-P)

© 2023 British HIV Association..

BACKGROUND: Ritonavir-boosted darunavir (DRV/r) is a preferred protease inhibitor in pregnant women living with HIV. Current practice at British Columbia's referral centre (the Oak Tree Clinic) is to dose DRV/r as 800/100 mg daily throughout pregnancy, although some guidelines recommend DRV/r 600/100 mg twice daily due to altered pharmacokinetics with once-daily dosing.

OBJECTIVES: We describe the effect of once-daily DRV/r on viral suppression, vertical transmission, adverse drug effects and adherence in pregnant women living with HIV.

METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of pregnant women living with HIV in British Columbia. Eligible women gave birth between January 2015 and August 2021, and took DRV/r 800/100 mg daily at any time during pregnancy.

RESULTS: Thirty-four women were included in this study. The mean (SD) age was 33 (5) years. Thirty (88%) women were diagnosed with HIV prior to pregnancy, with 22 (73%) having viral suppression at baseline. Four (12%) were diagnosed in pregnancy, with a median baseline viral load of 9616 copies/mL (range 8370-165 000). Viral suppression was achieved by 16 (100%), 24 (75%) and 26 (74%) women in the first, second and third trimesters, respectively. No vertical transmission occurred. This combination was well tolerated, with adverse drug effects that did not result in discontinuation or change in therapy. Most women maintained >75% adherence to once-daily DRV/r at all times during pregnancy.

CONCLUSIONS: Ritonavir-boosted darunavir 800/100 mg daily appears to be an appropriate dosing strategy for pregnant women living with HIV who are able to maintain optimal adherence.
