Summary

Sodium bicarbonate based antacids should not be used in patients on Raltegravir. Maalox or aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide based antacids should be given 2 hours prior to administration of Raltegravir. Multivitamin is safe to use in patients on Raltegravir.

Study Design

Participants received a single dose (sd) of RAL (400 mg tablet), followed Forceval (1tablet) 2 h prior to dosing without food, for 4 study days. The Heidelberg pH diagnostic system was used to collect gastrointestinal pH data. Blood samples and pH measurements were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h post dose. Plasma RAL concentrations were determined by validated LC-MS/MS, and PK parameters were estimated (WinNonLin). The primary endpoint was a change in AUC, C12h, CMAX, or TMAX. Secondary endpoints were safety and tolerability of combinations, and correlation of pH with RAL PK.

Study Results

The multivitamin, Forceval, did not significantly affect the PK of RAL

Study Conclusions

Authors concluded that multivitamin use doesn't change PK of Raltegravir.

Study Design

Participants received a single dose (sd) of RAL (400 mg tablet), followed by RAL plus Maalox Plus (30 ml), Maalox Plus (30 ml) 2 h prior to dosing without food, for 4 study days. The Heidelberg pH diagnostic system was used to collect gastrointestinal pH data. Blood samples and pH measurements were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h post dose. Plasma RAL concentrations were determined by validated LC-MS/MS, and PK parameters were estimated (WinNonLin). The primary endpoint was a change in AUC, C12h, CMAX, or TMAX. Secondary endpoints were safety and tolerability of combinations, and correlation of pH with RAL PK.

Study Results

A significant decrease in TMAX (GMR 0.58; 90 % CI 0.43 – 0.78) was seen when Maalox Plus was administered at the same time as RAL which was not observed when the antacid was taken 2 h prior to RAL.

Study Conclusions

Author concluded that co-administration of Maalox Plus will cause a significant decrease in absorption of Raltegravir while administration of Maalox Plus 2h prior does not exhibit the same effect.

Study Design

Open label, randomised, 5 phased controlled healthy volunteer study. Participants received a single dose (sd) of RAL (400 mg tablet), followed by sodium bicarbonate 1g 2 h prior to dosing without food, for 4 study days. The Heidelberg pH diagnostic system was used to collect gastrointestinal pH data. Blood samples and pH measurements were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h post dose. Plasma RAL concentrations were determined by validated LC-MS/MS, and PK parameters were estimated (WinNonLin). The primary endpoint was a change in AUC, C12h, CMAX, or TMAX. Secondary endpoints were safety and tolerability of combinations, and correlation of pH with RAL PK

Study Results

A significant increase in RAL GMR (90 % CI) AUC0-12 (1.96; 1.04 – 3.72) and CMAX (2.07; 1.00 – 4.30) when RAL was administered with sodium bicarbonate was observed.

Study Conclusions

Author concluded that administration of sodium bicarbonate will cause a significant increase in concentration of Raltegravir which is likely to relate to the unopposed ‘boosting’ effect of a raised pH upon absorption and the known pH-dependent solubility of RAL.
