Nevirapine
1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Phase IIB study is to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of two short-course antiretroviral regimens for prevention of HIV transmission from mothers to their infants in an effort to determine which of the two should be included in a re-designed efficacy trial comparing the selected regimen with a regimen proven to be efficacious in this African study population, for example, the superior regimen in the UNAIDS-sponsored PETRA trial. The protocol is divided into two parts. Part I is the initial 18-month follow-up component to evaluate the primary study endpoints Sections 2.0-10.0, Appendices I and II ; . Part II is the longterm follow-up study to monitor safety in all children participating in Part I and mothers in the Nevirapnie arm through 5 years post birth Sections 11.0-15.0, Appendices III, IV, and V ; . 2.0 PART I Primary 18 month study ; BACKGROUND 2.1 General Background The increase in pediatric HIV infection has a substantial impact on childhood mortality in both the U.S. and in the developing world. The majority of cases of pediatric HIV infection are due to maternal-to-infant transmission. The frequency of transmission of HIV-1 from an infected mother to her infant is estimated to be in the range of 15-40% 1-3 ; . Evidence suggests that three modes of transmission occur: in utero, intrapartum, and postpartum through breast milk 4-11 ; . A number of studies applying early diagnostic techniques of culture and PCR suggest that as many as half or more of maternal-infant HIV-1 transmission in the developed countries occurs late in pregnancy or during labor and delivery 1-12 ; . 2.11 Nevirapkne Nevirapune NVP ; is a non-nucleoside benzodiazepine derivative which is a potent inhibitor of HIV1 reverse transcriptase with an IC 50 and a high therapeutic index 13 ; . The HIV-1 antiviral activity is rapid with significant reduction in plasma virus occurring within a few days of drug administration. Development of viral resistance to nevirapine occurs rapidly, with resistance observed in all subjects studied by 4 weeks. Potent antiviral effects usually persist for 1-2 weeks followed by an increase in plasma virus with the development of viral resistance. Neivrapine is welltolerated with excellent oral absorption and bioavailability. Pharmacokinetic characteristics of nevirapine are appropriate for once-daily dosing. 2.12 AZT Zidovudine AZT ; is a nucleoside analogue that interferes with the HIV RNA dependent DNA polymerase reverse transcriptase ; by premature chain termination. The AZT triphosphate also inhibits cellular DNA polymerases, but at concentrations 100-fold higher than those required to inhibit reverse transcriptase. AZT has been licensed for the treatment of HIV-1 infected adults with.
The specific pharmacokinetic changes that occur with co-administration of nevirapine and other drugs are listed in clinical pharmacology, table clinical comments about possible dosage modifications based on these pharmacokinetic changes are listed in table the data intables 1 and 3 are based on the results of drug interaction studies conducted in hiv-1 seropositive subjects unless otherwise indicated.

Nedeljkovi A. Inhibition of angiogenesis: Angiogenesis, the generation of new capillaries from preexisting vessels, is virtually absent in the healthy adult organism in which it is restricted to a few conditions including wound healing and the formation of corpus luteum, endometrium, and placenta. However, in certain pathological conditions, angiogenesis is dramatically enhanced and loses its selflimiting capacity. From a clinical perspective, probably the most important manifestation of pathological angiogenesis is that induced by solid tumors. Well-vascular tumors expand both locally and by metastasis, whereas avascular tumors do not grow beyond a diameter of 1-2 mm. Thus, it is clear why antiangiogenetic compounds attract so much attention as new anticancer agents. It has been demonstrated that genistein is the most potent amongst several plant derived inhibitors in preventing angiogenesis. Fotsis et al. have found that genistein was able to inhibit the cell proliferation and in vitro angiogenesis 6 and digoxin. Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Nevirapin3 should not be readministered in case of rapid recurrence of liver function abnormalities in patients who had ASAT or ALAT 5 ULN during nevirapine therapy, to whom nevirapine had been readministered after liver function tests returned to baseline values. Nevirapine should not be readministered in patients who had a ASAT or ALAT 2 ULN associated with hypersensitivity reactions , characterised by rash with constitutional symptoms such as fever, arthralgia, myalgia and lymphadenopathy, plus visceral involvement, such as hepatitis, eosinophilia, granulocytopenia, and renal dysfunction, while on nevirapine therapy. Nevirapine should not be readministered in patients experiencing severe rash or a rash accompanied by constitutional symptoms such as fever, blistering, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, swelling, muscle or joint aches, or general malaise. 4.4 Special warnings and special precautions for use.

Two of the interveners in the Constitutional Court case the Institute for Democracy in South Africa IDASA ; and the Community Law Centre CLC characterized section 27 as containing two separate rights which the government was in breach of. They argued that s.27 1 ; a ; contains a right to a minimum core of health care services that are necessary for the life and dignity of a person and are not limited by s.27 2 ; , and that section 27 2 ; imposes a duty on the government to create a comprehensive program for the progressive realization of other universal though less essential health care services. This minimum core of services must include testing, counselling, and the administration of nevi5apine if necessary to pregnant, HIV positive women because both the life of the child and the ability of the mother to make informed medical decisions are at risk if it is not. The interveners further argued that the government was in breach of s.27 2 ; because it has not laid out a comprehensive plan to progressively realize the health care rights of women and children in relation to MTCT of HIV. The Protocol for Providing a Comprehensive Package of Care for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV in South Africa only called for the introduction of pilot sites for two years. The government made no promises after this two year period and instead declared they would consider the issue again when the trial period was over. The CLC and the IDASA also maintained that the primary burden of supplying health care services to children falls on the state due to s.28 1 ; c ; of the Bill of Rights which guarantees children the right to basic health care services. If the parents are unable to supply these basic health care services for the child it is the state's constitutional duty to protect the health of the child. This duty must create a minimum core obligation on the state even if the state has no such obligation under s.27 because s.28 does not contain anything that can be read as a limiting clause.

Mens of rifampin and pyrazinamide, the CDC collected information on cohorts of patients in the U.S. who had received prophylaxis with these regimens. They found an abnormally high frequency of hospital admissions and death due to hepatic toxicity from these drugs. On the basis of these findings, the American Thoracic Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Infectious Diseases Society of America do not recommend using this prophylaxis regimen59. Nevertheless, in the two large clinical trials which studied the regimens of rifampin and pyrazinamide in HIV-infected patients, no differences were observed in adverse effects or global mortality among groups assigned to rifampin and pyrazinamide and those assigned to isoniazid56, 57. For this reason, these regimens could be used in HIV-infected patients in situations where there are clear practical advantages for the patient or in tuberculosis control programs as long as a strict clinical and analytical followup of the patient is carried out DI ; . In the case of infection by isoniazid-resistant M. tuberculosis, rifampin can be used for only four months. A short regimen of rifampin and pyrazinamide can also be used, but in the light of what has previously been mentioned, it is prudent to avoid this regimen when another efficacious regimen can be used60. Interactions with antiretroviral drugs. Isoniazid can be administered with any combination of antiretrovirals. Rifampin must not be administered simultaneously with some protease inhibitors indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir, amprenavir, lopinavir ritonavir ; or with some non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors delavirdine ; . The following can be administered with rifampin: all nucleoside analogs, ritonavir as the only protease inhibitor61 and the non-nucleosides nevirapine and efavirenz62, 63, and perhaps also the combination of two protease inhibitors64. Rifabutin is recommended as an alternative to rifampin in patients whose antiretroviral drugs interact with it; although it should be made clear that there are no clinical studies which support this recommendation. When combined with indinavir, nelfinavir or amprenavir, rifabutin can be administered daily but at half the dose, or at the complete dose but only two or three days per week. In these cases it will also be necessary to increase the dose of the protease inhibitors65. Rifabutin in combination with ritonavir or with lopinavir ritonavir must be administered at half-dose two or three days per week. Rifampin increases the hepatic metabolism of methadone and usually precipitates withdrawal symptoms in patients in opiate withdrawal programs. It is important to inform the patient about this undesirable effect and increase the dose of methadone to the necessary level. Vaccination with BCG: This vaccine is contraindicated in HIV-infected patients due to the controversial nature of its efficacy and the risk of BCG-disseminated disease66 EIII ; .
