Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of understudied drugs administered to lactating women, receiving antiretroviral drugs per SOC as prescribed by their healthcare provider, and their co-enrolled infants ≤180 days of age who receive maternal breastmilk.

Detailed Description

Prospective, single-site, open label, PK and safety study. Co-enrollment of lactating women ≥18 years of age receiving drugs of interest (DOIs) per standard of care (SOC), as prescribed by their healthcare providers, and their infants who receive maternal breastmilk ≤180 days postpartum.

To understand drug transfer into breastmilk and determine subsequent infant exposure, biological samples will be collected from lactating women (blood and breastmilk) and infants (blood). The opportunistic design of this study will allow for a minimal risk study, an expanded enrollment net, evaluation of antiretroviral drugs, and capitalization of procedures performed per SOC to maximize study efficiency and data collection and minimize potential risk to participants. The data collected through this initiative will provide valuable PK, dosing, and safety information for drugs in this vulnerable population in order to inform public health.

    2. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by Clearance (CL) or apparent clearance (CL/F). [Baseline]

      Clearance (CL) or apparent clearance (CL/F)

    3. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by volume of distribution (V) or apparent volume of distribution (V/F) [Baseline]

    4. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by elimination Half-life (t1/2). [Baseline]

      Elimination Half-life (t1/2)

    5. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by elimination rate constant (kel). [Baseline]

      Elimination rate constant (kel)

    6. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by absorption rate constant (ka). [Baseline]

      Absorption rate constant (ka)

    7. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by area under the curve (AUC). [Baseline]

      Area under the curve (AUC)

    8. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by maximum concentration (CMAX). [Baseline]

      Maximum concentration (CMAX)

    9. PK of selected DOIs in lactating women and breastmilk fed infants as measured by time to reach maximum concentration (TMAX). [Baseline]

      Time to reach maximum concentration (TMAX)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety profile of antiretroviral drugs and other related drugs in infants exposed to drugs in breastmilk will be performed through monitoring of adverse events. [Up to 240 days]
