Steady-state Indinavir Plasma Concentrations
 
Slide 8 of 22
 
Speaker notes: Now looking at IDV administered as a single PI in a 1,200mg BID regimen:
  • here it can be seen that many individuals do have trough levels which fall below the IC95 or IC50 values

  • these individuals are at risk of incomplete viral suppression.
Adding ritonavir (RTV) at 400mg BID with food to IDV 400mg BID brings IDV trough levels out of the area where viral replication is a danger, by:
  • prolonging IDV half life (t½)
  • reducing IDV Cmax
  • overall, increasing the IDV Cmin far above the IC95.
