Doravirine--New NNRTI Approved by FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the NNRTI doravirine for use in initial HIV therapy. FDA approval was based on 48-week results of 2 Phase III studies in treatment-naive persons that showed doravirine + 2 NRTIs resulted in similar rates of viral suppression at 48 weeks as...

Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) and Darunavir/Cobicistat in Pregnant Women
Two pharmacokinetic studies from AIDS 2018 help elucidate the disposition of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and cobicistat-boosted darunavir during pregnancy.
The IMPAACT P1026s study examined plasma concentrations of TAF with and without cobicistat in 43 pregnant women. For women taking...

Bictegravir in Initial Therapy
Bictegravir (BIC) is an investigational integrase inhibitor that is being studied as part of a coformulation with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and emtricitabine (FTC). Two Phase 3 trials comparing a single-tablet regimen of BIC/TAF/FTC (50/25/200 mg) with regimens containing dolutegravir (DTG)...

Switching from TDF/FTC to TAF/FTC
Researchers at the 2016 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections presented results from a randomized double-blind, double-dummy switch study of TAF/FTC. Over 660 patients with virologic suppression on TDF/FTC-containing 3-drug regimens were either switched to TAF/FTC (200/10 mg...
