Influence of CYP2B6 516G>T polymorphism and interoccasion variability (IOV) on the population pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in HIV-infected South African children

Abstract: The inclusion of both age and weight to predict accurate EFV CL values for the respective genotype groups within this paediatric population was required, whereas the addition of gender and body surface area did not improve the predictions. The importance of introducing IOV in a PK model for a longitudinal study with sparsely collected data was again highlighted by this investigation.

“…Data from Africa have repeatedly replicated the association between efavirenz exposure and both CYP2B6 516G→T and CYP2B6 983T→C , but data from Africa beyond these two polymorphisms are limited. We characterized relationships between genetic polymorphisms and plasma efavirenz concentrations among HIV‐infected adults and children in South Africa.…”

“…4 Although the high variability in efavirenz PK in children has been thoroughly studied, 1215 analyses successfully relating observed drug exposures to treatment response and detecting other determinants of treatment failure are limited. 9,10,16 Factors affecting efavirenz effectiveness have often been investigated independently of drug concentrations with inconclusive findings across studies 8,9,1720 ; similarly, the effect of high efavirenz exposure on increased risk of CNS adverse events (AEs) is unconfirmed in children.…”

“…Sources of EFV pharmacokinetics (PK) variability have been studied in adults (7)(8)(9)(10)(11) and in children (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). These data have shown the influence of weight and genetics on the pharmacokinetics of EFV.…”
