Sub‐ and supratherapeutic efavirenz plasma concentrations with risk for HIV therapy failure are mainly genetically explained in Ugandan children: The prospective GENEFA cohort study

2024Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Metabolizer phenotype explained 50% of interindividual variation in efavirenz plasma concentration. Autoinduction was not confirmed and >33% of the concentrations were outside the therapeutic interval. Subtherapeutic concentrations worsened virological resistance and outcomes. Genotype-based dosing may help avert both sub- and supratherapeutic efavirenz plasma concentrations in Ugandan children.
