Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the steady-state blood plasma (BP), CSF and seminal plasma (SP) pharmacokinetics (PK) of twice-daily indinavir 400 mg and lopinavir/ritonavir.
Methods: Ten HIV-1-positive men on lopinavir/ritonavir participated in a PK study. PK sampling was performed before and 2 weeks after adding indinavir to lopinavir/ritonavir-containing regimens. BP, CSF and SP RNA levels, CD4 counts and blood chemistry were checked at baseline and 2 weeks after indinavir.
Results: At baseline: lopinavir parameters (n=10) in BP were within expected levels. Median lopinavir trough concentrations (n=5) in CSF and SP were below the limit of detection (BLD) (i.e. 80 ng/mL in seven of eight plasma samples, and all CSF and semen samples collected.
