Background:  Double protease inhibitor (PI) boosting represents a new strategy particularly suitable in the salvage setting. Previous data demonstrated that amprenavir (APV) and lopinavir (LPV) trough plasma concentrations (Cmin) were decreased by approximately 56% and 45% in combination with tipranavir (TPV; a potent CYP3A4 inducer) compared with those obtained with standard doses of APV/ritonavir (RTV) and LPV/RTV alone, respectively. Our objective was to describe the TPV, APV, and LPV drug-drug interactions at steady-state and to propose fos-APV or LPV dose adjustments to increase the respective Cmin in association with TPV.

Methods:  TPV, APV, and LPV Cmin (12 hours after the last drug intake) were performed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods in HIV-1-infected patients treated with TPV/RTV (500/200 mg) with and without fos-APV (700 mg) or LPV (400 mg) twice daily combination. TDM consisted in an increase of fos-APV/RTV dose to 1400/200 mg twice daily or LPV/RTV dose to 533/233 mg twice daily..

Results:  Among the 190 (162 males, 44 years old), highly experienced patients treated with TPV, 20 received LPV and 32 fos-APV. In the whole population, TPV Cmin were 28,350 ng/mL (14,036 to 48,046; 408). Of them, 21% were below 12,000 ng/mL (20 µM), considered as the effective antiviral cut-off and only 3% below 100 ng/mL (LOQ) were considered as non adherent. Before TDM, APV, and LPV Cmin were 570 ng/mL (267 to 1,014; 22) and 4257 ng/mL (1894 to 5938; 40), and after TDM, APV, and LPV Cmin were 1193 ng/mL (649 to 1,884; 39) and 6151 ng/mL (2652 to 9623; 19), respectively (p = 0.008; p <0.0001). Despite a wide inter-patient variability, APV and LPV median Cmin were increased by 48% and 58%, respectively. RTV and TPV Cmin were statistically related (p <0.0001).

Conclusions:  Previous results on TPV Cmin variability and enzymatic induction were confirmed in the present study. TDM should be helpful to adjust fos-APV and LPV doses allowing the combination with TPV in a double-boosted combination.
