Premessa § Un farmaco introdotto nell’organismo (per via orale, parenterale, ecc. ) può subire varie trasformazioni, in funzione delle sue caratteristiche fisico-chimiche, ed essere eliminato per vie diverse, in varie forme molecolari. § Può accadere che un farmaco non venga quasi per nulla modificato e sia eliminato come tale, oppure che subisca numerose trasformazioni verso forme che possono essere ancora farmacologicamente attive (o anche più attive rispetto alla molecola originale) oppure del tutto inerti (non attive) per quanto concerne l’effetto desiderato.

Premessa § Le interazioni possono avere differenti meccanismi (non solo inibizione o induzione del

Premessa § Le interazioni possono avere differenti meccanismi (non solo inibizione o induzione del metabolismo). § Le interazioni possono alterare la quantità di farmaco disponibile nell’organismo con potenziale impatto su efficacia e tossicità. § L’effetto di un farmaco interagente nel tempo è diverso in funzione del meccanismo di interazione.

Failure to Recognise Drug Interactions • HIV drugs amongst the most therapeutically risky - 20 -40% patients on ARVs at risk of clinically significant interactions • PIs > NNRTIs >> MVC/RAL > NRTIs - PIs associated with 5 -fold prevalence risk of significant DDIs compared to raltegravir, and 10 -fold risk compared to NRTIs • Physicians recognise only around a third correctly - Pharmacist pre-screening of 200 HIV clinic patients told physicians something they did not know about medication history (20%), adherence (31%) or drug interactions (38%), and changed patient management in 13. 6% Patel et al.

Quindi § Il rischio di interazione è funzione del numero di farmaci assunti dal paziente. § Tale rischio è probabilmente sottostimato nella pratica clinica. § Alcune classi di farmaci hanno un rischio di interazione significativamente ridotto rispetto ad altre (per es. INI, inibitori dell’integrasi vs. NNRTI o IP).

Epatite C e HIV: cenni § Per una persona sieropositiva, che deve assumere una terapia per tutta la vita, prendersi cura del proprio fegato è una priorità. § Il fegato è il principale organo deputato al metabolismo e alla detossificazione dai farmaci e, quindi, soggetto a danno da parte delle sostanze chimiche e farmacologiche da cui ci depura. § Oggi esistono terapie che aumentano in modo sostanziale la possibilità di un successo terapeutico per la cura dell’epatite. § Affiancare queste nuove terapie a combinazioni farmacologiche anti. HIV con scarse interazioni aumenta la probabilità dell’esito positivo di questo percorso, come ci dicono gli studi clinici sui farmaci anti. HIV di nuove classi (es. : INI).

The 95% CIs and p-values for treatment differences were calculated using weights proportional to the size of each stratum (screening v. RNA level >50, 000 copies/m. L or ≤ 50, 000 copies/m. L). * RAL would be considered non-inferior to EFV if the lower bound of the 95% CI for the difference in response rates was above -12%, and superior to EFV if the entire 95% CI was >0. Two post-hoc snapshot analyses with windows of +/- 6 weeks or +/- 12 weeks around the Week-240 visit were performed to test the robustness of the prespecified analyses: 1. The 6 -week window resulted in the additional exclusion of 8 patients falling outside of the window (6 came in too early and 2 came in too late) compared to the protocol-specified NC=F analysis which used the nominal visit data and yielded response rates of 66. 2% (186/281) in the RAL group and 59. 6% (168/282) in the EFV group with a ∆ (95% CI) = 6. 6% (-1. 4, 14. 5). All 8 excluded patients were in the RAL group, with 7 having v. RNA levels <50 copies/m. L at their nominal Week-240 visit. 2. Since more patients fell outside the 6 -week window for the Week-240 visit compared to previous time points, an analysis using a +/- 12 weeks window (extending the window to the prior visit at Week 228) was untaken at Week 240 which yielded response rates of 70. 8% (199/281) in the RAL group and 62. 8% (177/282) in the EFV group with a ∆ (95% CI) = 8. 1% (0. 3, 15. 8). † ‡

Patients who tolerated EFV, with less than 50 copies/ml HIV-RNA, were randomized into two groups: the RAL-first group started with RAL (400 mg twice daily) and EFV placebo, and the EFV- first group with EFV (600 mg once daily) and RAL placebo. After 2 weeks, both groups switched to the alternate regimen. Half of patients previously on a stable EFV preferred to switch to RAL, after double-blind exposure to RAL for 2 weeks. Substitution of EFV by RAL significantly impacted on lipid levels, stress, and anxiety scores.
