Extracellular and Intracellular Tenofovir DF and Emtricitabine Exposurein Mucosal Tissue after a Single Dose of Fixed-Dose TDF/FTC: Implications for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Kristine B Patterson, Heather A Prince, Eric Kraft, Amanda Jones, Sunita Paul, Nicholas J Shaheen, Melissa Spacek, Paris E Heidt, Sunila Reddy, Jim Rooney, Julie B Dumond, Myron S Cohen, and Angela DM Kashuba University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC USA Gilead Sciences, Foster City, CA USA
Truvada® for preventionTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) + Emtricitabine (FTC) Daily oral dosing of TDF +/- FTC being evaluated. Clinical trials evaluating EPISODIC ORAL dosing are being planned. There are no PK data in mucosal tissue after a single oral dose of TDF and FTC.
Objectives Primary • To characterize tenofovir and emtricitabine (TFV/FTC and TFV-DP/FTC-TP) exposure in multiple biological compartments in both men and women after a single oral dose of Truvada®. Secondary • To analyze the decay characteristics (t1/2) of TFV/FTC and TFV-DP/FTC-TP concentrations in multiple biological compartments in both men and womenafter a single oral dose of Truvada®.
Methods Single site, open-label trial Healthy HIV-negative men and women (ages 18-40) • Comprehensive STD screening • Sexually abstinent • Using contraception Single observed dose of Truvada®

Preferential penetration of TFV/FTC seen in this study supports quantification of other ARVs in all mucosal tissues as part of early development strategies for oral PrEP. Differential drug terminal elimination (“Tail”) emphasizes consideration for combination therapy esp. episodic dosing. Summary and Implications
