Abstract
BACKGROUND: There are no previous data describing nelfinavir and lamivudine pharmacokinetics in neonates treated with weight-band dosing regimens. DESIGN: Pharmacokinetic study of nelfinavir and lamivudine pharmacokinetics in infants during the first 2 weeks of life treated with weight-band dosing regimens. METHODS: Intensive 12-hour pharmacokinetic profiles were performed between either days 4-7 or days 10-14 of life in 26 Brazilian infants. RESULTS: Pharmacokinetic data were obtained from 26 infants who received median (range) per kg doses of 58.8 (48.4-79.0) mg/kg for nelfinavir and 2.0 (1.5-3.2) mg/kg for lamivudine. Median nelfinavir 12-hour AUC (AUC0-12) was 25.5 (1.7-183.5) μg*h/mL and median 12-hour concentration (C12h) was 1.09 (
