Potential Weak Interaction
Raltegravir (RAL)
Paclitaxel
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been assessed in a pharmacokinetic clinical study. Raltegravir is eliminated mainly via a UGT1A1-mediated glucuronidation pathway. In vitro data suggest that paclitaxel activates PXR and therefore could potentially decrease raltegravir concentrations via induction of UGT1A1. A case series of 25 patients receiving paclitaxel and integrase inhibitors (including 9 receiving a three-drug regimen containing raltegravir) showed that the coadministration of paclitaxel did not result in virological failure possibly explained by paclitaxel intermittent dosing and short elimination half-life. Monitor response to antiretroviral therapy.
