Variation in Drug Interactions in People With HIV (PLWH) Aged 60 Years and Older.

Conditions

Summary

Several cohort studies have recently shown a significant increase in the mean age of PLWH ( People Living With HIV) and in the prevalence of people in advanced age in the various cohorts, as a result of the marked increase in the mean life expectancy of these people achieved by modern antiretroviral combination therapies. However, the high prevalence of comorbidities exposes PLWH in old age to the need to take multiple drug treatments in addition to antiretroviral therapy, with the gradually increasing risk of unfavorable pharmacokinetic interactions between antiretroviral drugs and drugs taken to treat the comorbidities. This project consists of an observational, cohort, retrospective, single-center study and aims to evaluate the variation in the number and type of clinically significant drug interactions between antiretroviral therapy and concomitant therapies in PLWH aged \>60 years on stable antiretroviral therapy who, for any reason at the Clinician's discretion, have made a switch from ongoing antiretroviral therapy to the bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide regimen.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating how drug-drug interactions vary in older adults living with HIV (aged 60 and over). As people with HIV age and take more medications for other health conditions, the risk of harmful interactions increases. This study will assess how well a common HIV medication (bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine) interacts with other drugs. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 60 years old and living with HIV - You are currently on bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (BIC/TAF/FTC) for HIV - You are also taking medications for other non-infectious health conditions **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your HIV has shown genetic resistance to your current HIV medications - You are experiencing a severe acute infection Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
