Article information

Las características de atazanavir (dosificación cómoda, buena tolerancia, excelente perfil lipídico) lo sitúan como un fármaco atractivo para su inclusión en regímenes de inicio. Se han realizado ensayos clínicos en pacientes sin tratamiento antirretroviral previo, tanto con atazanavir sin potenciar (400 mg una vez al día) como con atazanavir potenciado con ritonavir (400/100 mg). Aunque atazanavir sin potenciar es eficaz, hay una tendencia hacia un mayor número de fracasos y una mayor desarrollo de mutaciones de resistencia que en los pacientes que fracasan con atazanavir potenciado. Es recomendable, por tanto, utilizar atazanavir potenciado en los pacientes que inician el tratamiento. En los ensayos clínicos, atazanavir potenciado puede utilizarse con cualquier análogo de los nucleósidos. No se ha detectado ningún problema de interacción farmacocinética o farmacodinámica con las 2 combinaciones de nucleósidos en dosis fijas (tenofovir/FTC, abacavir/3TC). Se han realizado ensayos clínicos aleatorizados en los que se han comparado atazanavir con otros inhibidores de la proteasa potenciados. En el estudio comparativo con lopinavir/ritonavir administrado 2 veces al día, atazanavir/ritonavir una vez al día demostró su no inferioridad, con una eficacia similar que era independiente de la carga viral basal de los pacientes. La eficacia virológica de atazanavir/ritonavir no resultó afectada por la situación inmunológica basal del paciente, que sí influyó en la respuesta de lopinavir/ritonavir. Atazanavir/ritonavir es un fármaco útil en el tratamiento de inicio de los pacientes adultos infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Su elevada eficacia virológica e inmunológica, unida a su comodidad de administración, buena tolerancia y excelente perfil lipídico, lo convierten en un inhibidor de la proteasa de elección en estos pacientes.

The characteristics of atazanavir (convenient doses, good tolerance, and excellent lipid profile) makes it an attractive drug to be included in initial regimes. Clinical trials have been performed on patients with no previous antiretroviral treatment, either atazanavir without boost (400 mg once per day) or atazanavir boosted with ritonavir (400/100 mg). Although atazanavir without boost is effective, there is a tendency for a higher number of failures and a higher development of resistant mutations than in patients who fail with boosted atazanavir. Therefore, it is recommended to use boosted atazanavir in patients that start on treatment. In clinical studies, boosted atazanavir can be used with any nucleoside analogue. No pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction problems have been detected with the two nucleoside combinations at fixed doses (tenofovir/FTC, abacavir/3TC). Randomised clinical studies have been carried out that compared atazanavir with other boosted protease inhibitors. In the comparative study with lopinavir/ritonavir administered two times a day, atazanavir/ritonavir once per day demonstrated noninferiority, with a similar efficacy regardless of the patient baseline viral load. The atazanavir/ritonavir virological efficacy did not appear to be affected by the baseline immunological status of the patients, which did influence the lopinavir/ritonavir response. Atazanavir/ritonavir is a useful drug combination in the initial treatment of HIV infected adult patients. Its increased virological and immunological efficacy, together with its ease of administration, good tolerance and excellent lipid profile makes it a PI of choice in these patients.
