Objective: To investigate the longitudinal pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in HIV-infected infants initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) between 2 weeks and 6 months of age.Method: A prospective, open-label, multicenter Phase I/II study of LPV/r-based cART at a dose of 300/75 mg/m(2)/dose LPV/r twice daily. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling at 12 months of age and quarterly predose LPV concentrations were collected and safety, virologic and immunologic responses were monitored every 4-12 weeks up to 252 weeks.Results: Thirty-one HIV-infected infants enrolled into two age cohorts, 14 days to < 6 weeks and 6 weeks to < 6 months; 29 completed >= 48 weeks of follow-up (median = 123 weeks, range 4-252). At 12 months of age, median LPV area under the curve was comparable for both age cohorts and similar to older children and adults. At week 48, 22 of 31 patients (71%) had HIV-1 RNA < 400 copies/ml and 11 of 15 (73%) had < 50 copies/ml; 29 of 31 achieved HIV-1 RNA < 400 copies/ml on study treatment and 19 (66%) remained durably suppressed until the end of study; viral suppression correlated with a higher percentage of predose time points exceeding the LPV target of 1 mu g/ml (92 vs. 71%, P=0.002).Conclusion: LPV/r at 300/75 mg/m(2)/dose as part of a cART regimen resulted in viral suppression through 96 weeks of treatment in > 65% of young infants. Due to initially low LPV exposure in infants < 6 weeks of age, frequent dose adjustment for weight gain is advisable and consideration should be given to studying a higher dose for very young infants.
