Eligibility Overview:
This is a non-therapeutic clinical trial that is only open to St. Jude patients.
- The subject has been enrolled on IMPAACT P1025.
Description
Studies have shown that women and men differ in how their bodies metabolize certain drugs. Pregnancy may have an additional effect on drug metabolism for women. Pregnant women experience unique physiological changes that may result in clinically significant changes in drug pharmacokinetics (the way the body uses the drug) and pharmacodynamics (how the drug acts on the body).
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of currently prescribed antiretroviral drugs and interacting combinations of these drugs in pregnant HIV-infected women.
Objectives
- Evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of selected antiretroviral drugs currently used in therapy of pregnant HIV-infected women
- Compare antiretroviral drug levels in blood from the mother and her baby at time of birth
Eligibility
- The subject has been enrolled on IMPAACT P1025.
