Prednisone, a corticosteroid frequently used to treat common AIDS-related illnesses and comorbidities, has been shown to induce drug metabolism. This study was performed to determine whether prednisone coadministration affected the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir (DTG). In this open-label, repeat-dose study, 12 healthy subjects were administered DTG at 50 mg daily alone for 5 days and then with concomitant prednisone for 10 days (prednisone at 60 mg daily for 5 days, followed by a 5-day taper). Serial blood sampling and safety assessments were performed during the trial. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using noncompartmental methods and geometric least-square mean ratios, and 90% confidence intervals were generated. Coadministration of DTG and 5-day high-dose prednisone with a 5-day taper had a modest effect on DTG exposure. The area under the DTG plasma concentration-time curve, maximum observed DTG concentration, and 24-hour postdose DTG concentration were increased by 11%, 6%, and 17%, respectively, on day 10 of the combination. Similar results were observed after 5 days of DTG and prednisone. Dolutegravir and prednisone coadministration was well tolerated. The changes in plasma exposures of DTG in healthy individuals as a result of prednisone dosing were not clinically significant. No dose adjustment is required for DTG coadministered with prednisone. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT01425099.).
