A comparison between abacavir and efavirenz as the third drug used in combination with a background therapy regimen of 2 nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors in patients with initially suppressed viral loads [PDF]
Background. Our objective was to compare the rate of viral rebound and therapy failure in patients receiving abacavir or efavirenz as the third drug ( in addition to 2 non-abacavir nucleosides) in combination antiretroviral therapy ( cART) and to compare

Pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir: A scoping review of evidence, gaps and clinical implications
Dolutegravir underpins modern first‐ and second‐line HIV treatment regimens; however, interindividual variability in its disposition and tolerability presents challenges for optimal use. This scoping review mapped current evidence on the pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir, focusing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and methodological limitations ...

Lenacapavir initiation with concomitant primidone: A case report with therapeutic drug monitoring
Lenacapavir (LEN), a first‐in‐class capsid inhibitor, has unique pharmacokinetics that enable twice‐yearly dosing. LEN is not extensively metabolized, although it is a substrate of CYP3A4, which introduces drug–drug interactions concerns. As adoption and implementation of LEN for treatment and prevention increase, additional guidance on concomitant ...

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...
