Maraviroc-containing regimen suppresses HIV replication in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neurological symptoms

AIDS. 2010 Aug 24;24(13):2130-3. doi: 10.1097/QAD.0b013e32833c9353.

Abstract

We report the concentrations of maraviroc in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma of six HIV-1-infected patients with both neurological impairment and detectable HIV-1 replication in CSF. One month after starting maraviroc, the viral load in the CSF decreased significantly (P = 0.005). The median (range) maraviroc concentration in plasma was 347 ng/ml (123-2678). Four patients had CSF concentrations above the protein-adjusted inhibitory concentration (IC90) of 0.57 ng/ml (0.06-10.7) with a median of 102 ng/ml (35-173).
