An extended-release formulation of nevirapine (NVP-XR) has been developed with the aim of simplifying antiretroviral treatment regimens and improving patients' adherence with a single daily intake. The VERxVE and TRANxITION clinical trials have demonstrated the noninferiority of NVP-XR compared with nevirapine immediate-release (NVP-IR) on viral load after 24 and 48 months of treatment. The tolerance profiles of NVP-XR and NVP-IR are similar. Simplifying the treatment dosage for NVP would likely improve adherence to antiretroviral treatments.
已开发出奈韦拉平缓释制剂(NVP-XR),旨在简化抗逆转录病毒治疗方案,并通过每日一次服药提高患者的依从性。VERxVE和TRANxITION临床试验已证明,在治疗24个月和48个月后,NVP-XR与奈韦拉平速释制剂(NVP-IR)相比,在病毒载量方面具有非劣效性。NVP-XR和NVP-IR的耐受性特征相似。简化奈韦拉平的治疗剂量可能会提高对抗逆转录病毒治疗的依从性。
