Embodiment 1
[0229] Example 1: System for detecting NRTIs in urine samples
[0230] TDF / FTC (Truvada TM ) is approved for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV infection. Adherence is important for the success of PrEP, but current measures of adherence (self-report) and plasma tenofovir (TFV) levels are insufficient for real-time adherence monitoring. To develop and validate whole blood or plasma assays for measuring TDF levels to objectively monitor adherence to PrEP, three cohort studies were conducted to evaluate the use in the detection of the prodrug NRTI tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) The active metabolite TFV system. Cohort 1 was a cross-sectional study of 10 HIV-positive subjects with undetectable HIV viral load on a TDF-based regimen; Cohort 2 was a single-dose study of Truvada in 10 healthy subjects , to assess clearance of TFV in plasma and urine over 7 days; Cohort 3 was a 16-week study in which 10 HIV-negative subjects received daily PrEP to assess agreement betwee...
Embodiment 2
[0231] Example 2 Development of Whole Blood or Plasma Assays
[0232] Antiretroviral concentrations in whole blood or plasma may be useful in monitoring adherence to PrEP. Tenofovir is an attractive drug for monitoring compliance because it has a plasma half-life of 17 hours and an intracellular half-life of 150 hours (Hawkins 2005) and can be detected in whole blood or plasma for several days. Preliminary data suggest that TFV levels in whole blood or plasma can be reliably measured and that detection of TFV in whole blood or plasma reflects drug use over a window of 1 to at least 7 days after oral administration of TDF or TAF.
[0233]There is no standard measure of adherence to assess in real time the adherence of patients receiving TDF or TAF for the prevention or treatment of HIV infection. As mentioned above, whole blood or plasma assays for TDM have been shown to have clear benefits in improving compliance in several different areas, with few disadvantages when used ...
