Simultaneous pharmacokinetic modeling of unbound and total darunavir with ritonavir in adolescents : a substudy of the SMILE trial

Darunavir (DRV) is an HIV protease inhibitor commonly used as part of antiretroviral treatment regimens globally for children and adolescents. It requires a pharmacological booster, such as ritonavir (RTV) or cobicistat. To better understand the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DRV in this younger population and the importance of the RTV boosting effect, a population PK substudy was conducted within SMILE trial, where the maintenance of HIV suppression with once daily integrate inhibitor + darunavir/ritonavir in children and adolescents is evaluated. A joint population PK model that simultaneously used total DRV, unbound DRV, and total RTV concentrations was developed. Competitive and non-competitive models were examined to define RTV's influence on DRV pharmacokinetics. Linear and non-linear equations were tested to assess DRV protein binding. A total of 443 plasma samples from 152 adolescents were included in this analysis. Darunavir PK was best described by a one-compartment model first-order absorption and elimination. The influence of RTV on DRV pharmacokinetics was best characterized by ritonavir area under the curve on DRV clearance using a power function. The association of non-linear and linear equations was used to describe DRV protein binding to alpha-1 glycoprotein and albumin, respectively. In our population, simulations indicate that 86.8% of total and unbound DRV trough concentrations were above 0.55 mg/L [10 times protein binding-adjusted EC50 for wild-type (WT) HIV-1] and 0.0243 mg/L (10 times EC90 for WT HIV-1) targets, respectively. Predictions were also in agreement with observed outcomes from adults receiving 800/100 mg DRV/r once a day. Administration of 800/100 mg of DRV/r once daily provides satisfactory concentrations and exposures for adolescents aged 12 years and older.
