Abstract

Dolutegravir (DTG) is primarily metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases, forming the pharmacologically inactive DTG glucuronide (DTG-gluc). We described the dolutegravir metabolic ratio (DTG-MR; DTG-gluc AUC0–24h divided by DTG AUC0–24h) in 85 children with HIV aged 3 months to 18 years receiving DTG in the CHAPAS-4 (ISRCTN22964075) and ODYSSEY (NCT02259127) trials. Additionally, we assessed the influence of age, body weight, nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone, rifampicin use and kidney function on DTG-MR. The overall geometric mean (CV%) DTG-MR was 0.054 (52%). Rifampicin use was the only significant factor associated with DTG-MR (P < .001) in multiple linear regression. DTG-MR geometric mean ratio was 1.81 (95% CI: 1.57–2.08) for children while on vs. off rifampicin. This study showed that overall DTG-MR in children was similar to adults, unaffected by age or NRTI backbone, and increased with rifampicin co-administration. These findings support future paediatric pharmacokinetic modelling and extrapolation from adult data.
