Abstract
Background—There are no previous data describing nelfinavir and lamivudine
pharmacokinetics in neonates treated with weight band dosing regimens.
Design—Pharmacokinetic study of nelfinavir and lamivudine pharmacokinetics in infants during
the first 2 weeks of life treated with weight band dosing regimens.
Methods—Intensive 12 hour pharmacokinetic profiles were performed between either days 4–7
or days 10–14 of life in 26 Brazilian infants.
Results—Pharmacokinetic data were obtained from 26 infants who received median (range) per
kg doses of 58.8 (48.4–79.0) mg/kg for nelfinavir and 2.0 (1.5 – 3.2) mg/kg for lamivudine.
Median nelfinavir AUC0-12 was 25.5 (1.7 – 183.5) μg*hr/mL and median C12h was 1.09 (<0.04
– 14.44) μg/mL. AUC0-12 was less than 15 μg*hr/mL (the 10% percentile for adults) in 12 infants
(46%). Median lamivudine AUC0-12 was 7.8 (2.7–15.6) μg*hr/mL and median C12h was 0.23
(<0.04 – 0.74) μg/mL.
Conclusions—Lamivudine pharmacokinetic parameters observed in this study were consistent
with those seen in other studies of neonates. While median nelfinavir AUC and C12h in these
neonates were above the exposure targets, interindividual variability in nelfinavir exposure was
large and nelfinavir exposure failed to meet the exposure targets in 46% of infants.
