Influence of Cytochrome P2B6 on Efavirenz Dose in HIV-infected Thai Patients

August 2, 2015 updated by: Pansachee DAMRONGLERD, Mahidol University

Influence of Cytochrome P2B6 on Efavirenz Dose in HIV-infected Thai Patients in a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial: a Proof-of-concept Study

Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) are associated with lower rate of EFV metabolism and lead to high exposure, as well as a higher risk of neuropsychiatric adverse event especially homozygous variant CYP2B6 *6/*6. This trial was designed to compare the proportion of patients who had undetectable HIV RNA at 24 weeks after ART initiation between patient who did CYP 2B6 guided EFV dose and who did not.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CYP2B6 guided group
Patients were assigned to perform CYP2B6 study before ART initiation. If CYP2B6 *6/*6 was found in CYP2B6 *6/*6, the patients will be initiated a low dose of 400 mg of efavirenz (2 tablets of 200 mg) with tenofovir 300 mg and lamivudine 300 mg.
There will be adjusted dose of efavirenz in CYP2B6 guide group
If the patients was diagnosed as hypersensitivity to EFV, they will receive boosted-PI instead.
All patients will be monitored drug level which should be in therapeutic level.
No Intervention: control group
Patients were promptly ART initiation regardless CYP2B6 results. Treatments were efvirenz 600 mg, tenofovir 300 mg and lamivudine 300 mg.
