The pharmacokinetics of bictegravir (BIC) and its association with the decay of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 RNA in genital fluids and the rectum have not yet been addressed.
We conducted a prospective, multicenter study of antiretroviral-naive people living with HIV-1 and initiating BIC/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). HIV-1 RNA was measured (limit of quantification, 40 copies/mL) in blood plasma (BP), seminal plasma (SP), rectal fluid (RF), and cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) at baseline; Days 3, 7, 14, and 28; and Weeks 12 and 24. Total and protein-unbound BIC concentrations at 24 hours postdose (C24h) were quantified in BP, SP, CVF and rectal tissue (RT) on Day 28 and Week 12 using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay.
The study population comprised 15 males and 8 females. In SP, RF, and CVF, the baseline HIV-1 RNA was >40 copies/mL in 12/15, 13/15, and 4/8 individuals, respectively, with medians of 3.54 (2.41-3.79), 4.19 (2.98-4.70), and 2.56 (1.61-3.56) log10 copies/mL, respectively. The initial decay slope was significantly lower in SP than in RF and BP. The time to undetectable HIV-1 RNA was significantly shorter in SP and RF than in BP. All women achieved undetectable HIV-1 RNA in CVF at Day 14. The median total BIC concentrations in SP, RT, and CVF were 65.5 (20.1-923) ng/mL, 74.1 (6.0-478.5) ng/g, and 61.6 (14.4-1760.2) ng/mL, respectively, representing 2.7%, 2.6%, and 2.8% of the BP concentration, respectively, while the protein-unbound fractions were 51.1%, 44.6%, and 42.6%, respectively.
BIC/FTC/TAF led to rapid decay of HIV-1 RNA in genital and rectal fluids. Protein-unbound BIC concentrations in SP, RT, and CVF highly exceeded the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) value (1.1 ng/mL).

比克替拉韦(BIC)的药代动力学及其与生殖器液和直肠中人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)-1 RNA 衰减的关系尚未得到解决。
我们对 15 名男性和 8 名女性艾滋病毒-1 初治患者进行了前瞻性、多中心研究,这些患者正在接受 BIC/恩曲他滨(FTC)/替诺福韦艾拉酚胺(TAF)治疗。在基线、第 3、7、14 和 28 天以及第 12 和 24 周时,测量血液血浆(BP)、精液浆(SP)、直肠液(RF)和宫颈阴道液(CVF)中的 HIV-1 RNA(定量下限为 40 拷贝/mL)。第 28 天和第 12 周时,使用经过验证的液相色谱-串联质谱分析方法,定量测定 BP、SP、CVF 和直肠组织(RT)中 24 小时后(C24h)的总游离 BIC 和蛋白结合 BIC 浓度。
研究人群包括 15 名男性和 8 名女性。在 SP、RF 和 CVF 中,基线时 HIV-1 RNA>40 拷贝/mL 的分别有 12/15、13/15 和 4/8 名个体,中位数分别为 3.54(2.41-3.79)、4.19(2.98-4.70)和 2.56(1.61-3.56)log10 拷贝/mL。SP 中的初始衰减斜率明显低于 RF 和 BP。SP 和 RF 中的 HIV-1 RNA 达到不可检测水平的时间明显短于 BP。所有女性在第 14 天 CVF 中均达到 HIV-1 RNA 不可检测水平。SP、RT 和 CVF 中的总游离 BIC 浓度中位数分别为 65.5(20.1-923)ng/mL、74.1(6.0-478.5)ng/g 和 61.6(14.4-1760.2)ng/mL,分别为 BP 浓度的 2.7%、2.6%和 2.8%,游离蛋白部分分别为 51.1%、44.6%和 42.6%。
BIC/FTC/TAF 导致生殖器液和直肠液中的 HIV-1 RNA 快速衰减。SP、RT 和 CVF 中的游离 BIC 浓度远远超过了半最大有效浓度(EC50)值(1.1ng/mL)。
