Abstract

Fifty-five patients placed on tipranavir/ritonavir 500/200 mg twice a day (27 with enfuvirtide and 28 without) underwent tipranavir and ritonavir plasma concentration measurements by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Markedly higher tipranavir and ritonavir trough concentrations were observed in enfuvirtide recipients. The modelling of sparse plasma samples using a first order absorption and elimination monocompartmental model without time lag predicted higher tipranavir elimination half-life and volume of distribution in enfuvirtide takers. This unexpected drug-drug interaction warrants further investigation.
