Clin Infect Dis. 2020 Dec 17;71(10):e714-e717. doi: 10.1093/cid/ciaa488.

Abstract

This phase 4 study investigated the influence of pregnancy on the pharmacokinetics of elvitegravir/cobicistat in 14 women with human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The results support the recommendation against elvitegravir/cobicistat use during pregnancy, as the elvitegravir concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough) was reduced by 77%, with 85% of pregnant women having a Ctrough below the effective concentration (EC90). Clinical Trials Registration. NCT00825929.
