Title: A new drug combination therapy for treatment-naive patients with HIV-1 infection, consisting of raltegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Author: De Clercq E. Journal: Expert Opin Pharmacother; 2009 Dec; 10(17):2935-7. PubMed ID: 19929712. Abstract: A new drug combination regimen, consisting of raltegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), is described for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This new drug combination regimen is applicable to the treatment of drug-naïve HIV-1-infected patients. It extends the use of the drug combinations to a new class of anti-HIV drugs, i.e. raltegravir, targeted at a new site in the HIV-1 replicative cycle, namely the HIV-1 integrase. This opens new perspectives for the design of multiple drug combination regimens targeting different enzymes involved in HIV-1 replication, i.e. integrase and reverse transcriptase. These multiple (triple or quadruple) drug combinations should be aimed at once daily dosing.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
