Pharmacokinetics of Antiretroviral Drugs in Older People Living with HIV: A Systematic Review
ConclusionExposure to DRV increases modestly with age, while exposure to BIC, DOR and RAL appears to be unaffected by age. As the available evidence to confirm a potential effect of aging on ARV pharmacokinetics is limited, further studies are necessary. (Source: Clinical Pharmacokinetics)

Comparing Real-World Healthcare Costs Associated with Single-Tablet Regimens for HIV-1: The 2-Drug Regimen Dolutegravir/Lamivudine vs. Standard 3- or 4-Drug Regimens
ConclusionDolutegravir/lamivudine had the lowest healthcare costs of BIC/FTC/TAF, EVG/COBI/FTC/TAF, and DRV/COBI/FTC/TAF, and the lowest pharmacy costs of all regimens, in unadjusted and adjusted analyses and by treatment experience, supporting the economic benefits of DTG/3TC as an initial or switch regimen for HIV-1.

Quality by design tool-evaluated stability-indicating ultra-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of drugs (ritonavir and darunavir) used to treat the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
Biomed Chromatogr. 2023 Jul 1:e5687. doi: 10.1002/bmc.5687. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRitonavir and darunavir were examined using a ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) approach in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The small number of analytical studies that are currently available do not demonstrate the method's stability or nature. The study sought to assess both chemicals using a stability-indicating approach with a relatively short run time. The HSS C18 (100 × 2.1 mm), 2-mm column was used for the chromatographic separation, and isocratic elution was used to achieve this. In the mobile phase, methanol and 0.0...

Incidence of cardiometabolic outcomes among people living with HIV-1 initiated on integrase strand transfer inhibitor versus non-integrase strand transfer inhibitor antiretroviral therapies: a retrospective analysis of insurance claims in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Over a short average follow-up period of <2 years, INSTI use among treatment-naïve PLWH was associated with an increased risk of several cardiometabolic outcomes, such as CHF, myocardial infarction and lipid disorders, compared to non-INSTI use. Further research accounting for additional potential confounders and with longer follow-up is warranted to more accurately and precisely quantify the impact of INSTI-containing ART on long-term cardiometabolic outcomes.PMID:37306118 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26123 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
