Potential Interaction
Dolutegravir (DTG)
Paclitaxel
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been assessed in a pharmacokinetic clinical study. Paclitaxel is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. In vitro data suggest that paclitaxel activates PXR and therefore could potentially decrease dolutegravir concentrations via induction of UGT1A1. A case series of 25 patients receiving paclitaxel and integrase inhibitors (including 8 receiving dolutegravir) showed that the coadministration of paclitaxel did not result in virological failure in individuals on three-drug regimens containing dolutegravir, possibly explained by paclitaxel intermittent dosing and short elimination half-life. However, further data are needed for dolutegravir when used in a two-drug regimen as resistance may differ or there may be additional pharmacokinetic interactions. Monitor response to antiretroviral therapy.
