446474 tn?1446347682 For boceprevir, the FDA said a pharmacokinetic study in 39 healthy volunteers found that giving the drug with ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors reduced exposure to the HIV drugs and vice versa. Specifically: * Boceprevir reduced average trough concentrations of ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (Reyataz), lopinavir (Kaletra), and darunavir (Prezista) by 49%, 43% and 59%, respectively.
184420 tn?1326739808 It looks very promising, and they’re also combining it with an HIV protease inhibitor ‘ritonavir’. I think this is the drug Schering-Plough touts as “10 times more powerful than Boceprevir” in their press release. The trial info is available in clinicaltrialsdotcom, I believe. Are you considering participating?
Avatar f tn It also contains ritonavir, a previously approved drug, which is used to increase blood levels of paritaprevir. Viekira Pak can be used with or without ribavirin, but it is not recommended for patients whose liver is unable to function properly (decompensated cirrhosis). “The new generation of therapeutics for hepatitis C virus is changing the treatment paradigm for Americans living with the disease,” said Edward Cox, M.D., M.P.H.
4043517 tn?1374006573 Patients who took a three-drug regimen and the drugs Ritonavir and ribavirin had undetectable virus levels after 12 weeks of treatment. The North Chicago, Ill., company says it observed a 93 percent cure rate in a group of patients who were not helped by other treatments. Patients in the trial had genotype 1 hepatitis C, which is the most common type in the Western world and the hardest to treat.
Avatar m tn So inhibiting CYP3A with grapefruit juice (or other citrus juices) will increase the blood levels of Telepravir and Boceprevir. The drug Ritonavir also inhibits CYP3A and when they used it together with Telaprevir, the drug levels of Telaprevir increased by 15 fold. Co Pharmacokinetic enhancement of the hepatitis C virus protease inhibitors VX-950 and SCH 503034 by co-dosing with ritonavir.
446474 tn?1446347682 For patients taking darunavir plus ritonavir, fosamprenavir, forsamprenavir plus ritonavir, or saquinavir plus ritonavir, the atorvastatin dose should be limited to 20 mg daily.

Rosuvastatin should be limited to 10 mg daily in patients taking altazanavir with or without ritonavir or lopinavir plus ritonavir.
163305 tn?1333668571 1) 19 treatment-naive patients received 250 mg of ABT-450, an NS3 HCV PI, boosted with ritonavir 100 mg daily, 400 mg of ABT-333, a non-nucleoside HCV polymerase inhibitor, and RBV 1,000 to 1,200 mg; 2) 14 treatment-naive patients received the same drug regimen with a lower ritonavir-boosted ABT-450 dose of 150 mg daily; 3) 17 HCV patients who were prior non-responders received the same low ABT-450 dose regimen as the second group. Treatment duration in all arms was 12 weeks.
751342 tn?1534360021 I'm not sure why she brought me in last week. I don't go back for a month now. I just want them to stop sending me for ultrasounds every month. I either can't have my coffee in the morning or can't eat for 6 hours. The last time was the latter and I was really irritable. She said she will ask about that because the study drug can cause gall stones, but I'm not on the study drug! In addition to being just a general pain in the backside, those ultrasounds are time consuming!
Avatar f tn A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effect of ABT-450, Ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 Coadministered With Ribavirin (RBV) in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1-infected Adults With Compensated Cirrhosis. (TURQUOISE-II) The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of ABT-450, ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in HCV genotype 1-infected adults with compensated cirrhosis.
Avatar f tn So, I am at the 15th day of my pep regime and have been strictly adhering to the program till today. I have been taking lopinavir ritonavir along with tenofovir. I am taking 2pills twice for the first one and one pill once a day for tenofovir. Today my bottle of rito/lopi finished after I took my first dose. I went to the doc clinic which was closed and he says i can only get the meds tomorrow.
Avatar f tn once-a-day Viekirax, which combines the NS5A inhibitor ombitasvir with a fixed-dose combo of paritaprevir and ritonavir that blocks NS3/4A; and twice-daily Exviera, which targets NSB5. Each targeted protein is essential to the spread of hep C, and, in pivotal trials on thousands of patients, AbbVie's multi-pill combination has eradicated the virus in patients with all genotypes without the need for painful interferon injections....
Avatar m tn In a mid-stage study of 34 patients, 33 were cured of the virus after 24 weeks of treatment with AbbVie’s experimental cocktail of ombitasvir, ritonavir, dasabuvir, ABT-450, and ribavirin, an antiviral drug used to supplement hepatitis C treatments. The study was published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. Liver transplant patients are particularly in need of new hepatitis C treatments with better cure rates and fewer side effects.
408795 tn?1324935675 Good to see you too! This is great information for alot of people who can't handle the interferon or needles. I'm hoping there are other options heading our way as well. It's great to see that California Drug Mfg are getting into the act of curing HepC as well. More companies could potentially lead to more cures!! That's a win win for everyone!! Yay!!
Avatar m tn these 2 data leaks above report 95% SVR rates in small interferon-free multi-drug oral drug combinations of only 2 or 3 drugs, so is this the new standard of care that all future regimens will have to match for treatment-naives?? Roche, BMS, Gilead, Vertex, Abbott & Merck (also Idenix & Achllion, 2 smaller biotechs) each have several new HCV oral drugs at various stages of development, so are developing their own multi-drug interferon-free oral regimen with or without ribavirin.
Avatar f tn You would need to follow up with your doctor to find out the answers to go with whether 2 drug or 3 drug regimen because no one here online or on any other website can substitute a doctor's advice.

Avatar m tn 1 - would PEP be effective even if the source has a high viral load? 2 - After the 28 days, can I drink alcohol? Thank you very much in advance, I am quite distressed about it.
1476285 tn?1287337784 Will I be able to do the 3-drug treatment using telaprevir and still take my suboxone? It takes a long time to wean off suboxone and I don't have the time to really wait to do that before beginning treatment. I haven'tt been able to find any info on others who are continuing their suboxone while treating w/ the telaprevir so need information.
2114467 tn?1358210256 i'm curious if it is ok to use flonase. also, is benadryl ok to use. I just finished using my netti pot for nasal allergies. I'm trying to be careful about drug interaction; I haven't started the boc yet.
Avatar f tn Findings 88 patients were randomly assigned to a study drug treatment regimen (n=74 over seven treatment groups; 73 received at least one dose of study drug) or to placebo (n=14, all of whom received at least one dose). The median change in HCV RNA concentration from baseline to day 14 ranged from −3·7 to −5·2 log10 IU/mL in the cohorts that received 13 days of combination treatment.
751342 tn?1534360021 I thought I'd explain my mood update. I am on a study for SCH 900518 with Ritonavir. I crossed over at week 16 from straight SOC. My week 16 result, the new baseline for the study drug was 14,000 and week 12 was 25,000. I just don't think I am responding well to SOC. I had a huge drop at week at week 2 (2.2 million to 97,000), then it went back up to 324,000 at week 4. It has been trending downwards, but appears to be slowing down. I am actually hopeful for the PI.
Avatar n tn 11,12am), I take hiv block drugs from doctor, these drugs are Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets , Aluvia (Lopinavir and Ritonavir Tablets) and Lamivudine Tablets.

Avatar m tn s and other competitors when all is said and done. One big drawback of the Abbott regimen is that it contains the drug ritonavir, which physicians don't want to use. That's far from saying Gilead will have the market all to itself. According to an article in Bloomberg, Catherine Arnold, an analyst with Credit Suisse Group AG in New York, said she sent a note to clients projecting that Gilead would have $3.8 billion in hepatitis C sales in 2020, and Abbott would follow with $2.5 billion.
