  3. CASE 1 • 55 yo WF, diagnosed with HIV/HCV (genotype 1) • 06/2000 • CD4 1350, VL 1441  LT non-progressor • HCV: • 08/2001: stage 1 fibrosis (liver Bx) • 06/2009: hepatic decompensation • 03/2010: ESLD, ascites. • CD4 516, VL 47,000. Rx Atripla (for HCV) • CNS s/e to EFV, changed to Etravirineafter 1 week

  4. CASE 1 • June/10: VL<50, CD4 649, listed for liver transplant • Oct/10: replaced TDF/FTC with ABC/3TC, cont with etravirine 200 mg BID • May/11: living donor liver transplant • Rx cyclosporine, prednisone

  5. CASE 1 • June/11: episode of mild rejection; continued prednisone • Sep/11: peripheral neuropathy, elevated Scr •  CsA dose, prednisone, Rx MMF and gabapentin • also cont. with dapsone, pantoprazole, nystatin, docusate

  6. DRUG INTERACTIONS • Can have a dramatic and often clinically significant effect on drug exposure and clinical outcome • May be beneficial or detrimental

  7. DRUG INTERACTIONS • Pharmacokinetic • change in the amount of drug in body • absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination may be affected • Pharmacodynamic • change in the pharmacological effect of a drug • additive, synergistic, or antagonistic

  8. Boceprevir and Telaprevir Pharmacology Slide adapted from Dr. J. Kiser, U of Colorado, Denver

  9. Effect of Different Types of Food on the Bioavailability of Telaprevir • Take telaprevir with food/snack (~20 g fat) • bagel/cream cheese, ½ c. nuts, 3 tbsp peanut butter, 1 c. ice cream, 2 oz cheese, 2 oz chips, ½ c. trail mix

  10. Proportion of Drugs Metabolized by the Major CYP450 Enzymes

  11. Drug Interactions with the CYP450 System • “Revolving Door” analogy Entrance Inside Bldg Exit • Terms: Substrate, Inhibitor, Inducer

  12. SUBSTRATE • Agent which is primarily cleared via CYP450 enzymes • Rate of drug breakdown affected by: • Enzyme Inhibitors • Enzyme Inducers • e.g., HIV & HCV protease inhibitors, NNRTIs

  13. ENZYME INHIBITION INTERACTIONS • Inhibitor competes with another drug for binding at enzymatic site • e.g., DAAs, protease inhibitors, azoles, macrolides •  clearance of substrate =  drug levels • effect varies according to dose (amount), potency (strength); quick onset & resolution of interaction • Can be beneficial (e.g., boosted PIs in HIV) or negative ( toxicity)

  14. MANAGING INHIBITION INTERACTIONS • Dose adjustment of one/both drugs • alter dose and/or frequency • Replace drug with another agent with less interaction potential • e.g., clarithromycin azithromycin • Therapeutic drug monitoring (if available) • Clinical monitoring (effect/toxicity) • quick onset/resolution of interaction

  15. Enzyme Induction Interactions • Inducer stimulates production of additional enzymes • e.g., rifamycins, anticonvulsants, NNRTIs, telaprevir •  clearance of substrate =  drug levels • slower onset, resolution of interaction • often undesirable clinical effect, i.e.,  efficacy, development of resistance

  16. Managing Induction Interactions • Dose adjustment of one/both drugs • alter dose and/or frequency • Replace drug with another agent with less interaction potential • e.g., rifampin  rifabutin • Therapeutic drug monitoring (if available) • Clinical monitoring (efficacy, resistance) • slower onset/resolution of interaction; usually 1-2 weeks

  17. POST-TRANSPLANT Without treatment, HCV recurs in 100% of liver transplantations1 1. Terrault NA. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2005;3(10 Suppl 2):S125-S131. Slide courtesy of Dr. J. Kiser, U of Colorado, Denver

  18. Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus Concentrations are Significantly Increased by Boceprevir & Telaprevir [Hulskotte et al. HEP DART 2011, poster 123. Garg V, et al. Hepatology 2011;54:20-27.]

  19. Suggested criteria for use of TVR or BOC in liver transplant recipients: • evidence of aggressive histological HCV recurrence (stage 3 fibrosis w/o hepatic decompensation) • treating physician should be experienced in managing complex drug-drug interactions • treatment should be in context of informed consent to participate in IRB/REB-approved protocol

  20. ARV-TRANSPLANT INTERACTIONS • Significant dose  required with PI/r, possible dose  with NNRTIs, no change with RAL • Tacrolimus (usual dose 1-6 mg BID): • darunavir/r: 0.5 mg/week1, 0.03 mg/day2 • lopinavir/r: 0.5-1.5 mg q7-25 days3, 0.5 mg q8 days4 • raltegravir: standard TAC or sirolimus doses5-6 • Cyclosporine: • indinavir, lopinavir/r: CsA dose  5-20%7 • efavirenz: 54%  CsA levels8 • raltegravir: standard CsA doses5, 9 1.

  21. TRIPLE THERAPY WITH TELAPREVIR AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION • 7 HCV-1a infected, post-liver transplant patients received pegylated IFN 2a/b, ribavirin, and telaprevir. All subjects were on stable tacrolimus prior to starting HCV therapy. • TAC doses pre-emptively  to 50% of pre-treatment doses and given qweekly. Trough TAC levels checked q2d for the first 2 weeks, then weekly until telaprevir therapy was complete. Baseline TAC dosing resumed 5 days after stopping telaprevir. • No episodes of acute rejection or TAC toxicity noted • Response: eRVR (n=4), complete early virologic response (n=2), non-responder (n=1) • Main adverse effect was anemia (n=6 required transfusions); dehydration, renal insufficiency and infections also reported Mantry et al. HEP DART 2011, #90.
