CLINICAL TRIAL: PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES OF ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUGS DURING PREGNA

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. SPECIFIC AIMS: PRIMARY: To describe the PK parameters during pregnancy of selected antiretroviral drugs currently used in the clinical care of pregnant HIV-infected women, and to determine if standard therapeutic dosing regimens of these antiretroviral drugs produce adequate drug exposure during pregnancy compared to a) historical data from non-pregnant adults; and b) the same women in the study cohorts during the postpartum period. SECONDARY: To compare antiretroviral drug concentrations in plasma from cord blood with those in maternal plasma at the time of delivery. To indirectly assess the induction of cytochrome P450 3A4 by determining the ratio in urine of 6b-hydroxycortisol to cortisol.
