Background• In South Africa, the current standard of care for pregnant women with
HIV infection and < 350 CD4 cells/mm3 is combination ART
• There are limited data on efavirenz (EFV) pharmacokinetics (PK) in pregnant women, though its use is increasing (Cressey et al., 2012)
• In Soweto, an estimated 0.8-2.2% of pregnant women with HIV also have active TB (Gounder et al. 2011; Kali et al. 2006)
• Rifampin, a key component of first-line TB treatment, reduces concentrations of many antiretroviral (ARV) drugs
• The combined effect of pregnancy and rifampin-containing TB treatment on EFV PK, virologic suppression and prevention of maternal-to-child transmission of HIV-1 (PMTCT) has not been studied
Study design• TSHEPISO is a prospective cohort study among HIV-infected pregnant
women with TB (n=250 CASES) and without TB (n=500 CONTROLS), currently enrolling in Soweto, South Africa
• Antenatal clinics and obstetrics ward at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, women at 13-34 weeks gestation
• Impact of TB/HIV co-infection in pregnancy on maternal and infant outcomes being evaluated
• Women (n=150) with and without TB, on EFV-containing ART (600 mg QD) will enroll in an EFV PK/PD substudy, along with their infants
• We report preliminary results from 76 women and 70 infants in the TSHEPISO EFV PK substudy to date
Methods: EFV PK Substudy• Blood samples for EFV PK analysis were collected:
– Maternal: 37 weeks gestation or delivery, then 6 weeks post-partum; up to 4 samples per occasion
– Cord blood at delivery, infant sample at 7 days
• Plasma concentrations determined by LCMS/MS†
• CYP2B6 genotyping of maternal DNA§– Extensive = 516GG and 983TT– Intermediate = 516GT or 983CT– Slow = 516TT or (516GT and 983CT) or 983CC– Very Slow = 983CC
• Post-hoc Bayesian estimates of PK parameters from NLME modeling with allometric scaling, using NONMEM
• HIV-1 viral load collected at delivery for mothers, at 6 weeks for infants†Clinical Pharmacology Analytical Laboratory, University of Cape Town; §Pharmacogenomics

EFV Population PK model features
• 1-compartment model• Visits excluded if all EFV samples BLQ (13 PK
samples in 10 participants)• Allometric scaling with body weight applied to
CL/F and V/F• CL/F strongly influenced by CYP2B6 genotype• Did not detect significant longitudinal variations in
EFV PK (pre/post partum)• Rifampicin co-treatment decreased EFV CL/F in
slower metabolizers

Cord blood and infant PK results
• Cord blood (n=45)– Median EFV concentration 1.15 (0.628 – 1.91) mg/L– Below the limit of quantification in 4/45 (8.9%) samples • Infant blood (7 days) (n=57)– Median EFV concentration BLQ (BLQ - 0.079) mg/L– Below the limit of quantification in 35/57 (61.4%) samples• Cord and maternal pre-partum concentrations were
highly correlated (r=0.93)• Infant 7-days blood concentrations were BLQ in most
cases, but quantifiable values were related to larger cord blood concentrations.
Virologic outcomes
• Maternal viral load at delivery – 70% of cases and 83% of controls had VL<20
copies/mL at delivery (p=0.24)– Of those taking EFV for at least 12 weeks at delivery,
82% of cases and 93% of controls had VL<20 copies/mL (p=0.26)
• PMTCT – No transmission from women taking EFV at delivery
Limitations
• Single site• Sparse sampling• Not all participants presented for all sampling
visits• Observational study in complex setting, no
DOT-ART• Small sample size for subgroup comparisons
Summary• Rich dataset including 76 women, 70 infants, PK and
VL data from high burden HIV/TB setting
• Estimated Cmin among women pre/intrapartum and post-partum were not significantly different
• In a model that accounts for weight and CYP2B6 genotype, unable to show significant effect of rifampin on EFV PK (except among slow EFV metabolizers)
• Despite about 30% with Cmin <1 mg/L, VL suppressed in most women taking EFV for 3 months or more at the time of delivery, and no MTCT
