Assessment of Drug-drug Interactions Between Masculinizing Hormone Therapy and Antiretroviral Agents Concomitantly for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Transgender Men

Summary

There are currently no published studies addressing drug-drug interactions (DDI) between masculinizing hormone therapy (MHT) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among transgender men (TGM). This could lead to concerns and subsequent prioritizing MHT over PrEP among TGM. Because tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) can achieve higher intracellular tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) levels with lower tenofovir plasma concentrations, it is promising that both plasma tenofovir (TFV) and intracellular TFV-DP levels might not be significantly affected by MHT. The current study aims to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) DDI between MHT and daily PrEP among TGM.

Interventions

DRUG

Emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (F/TDF) and emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir alafenamide 25 mg (F/TAF)

The first full PK measurement of MHT will be performed starting at week 4 and end at week 6 to assess the steady-state plasma PK of testosterone in the absence of PrEP. The second PK measurement of MHT will be performed starting at week 12 and end at week 14 to assess plasma PK of testosterone in the presence of both MHT and PrEP. The first full PK measurement of PrEP will be performed at week 12 to assess the steady-state plasma PK of FTC, TFV, and TAF; and intracellular PBMC FTC-TP and TFV-DP in the presence of both MHT and PrEP. The second measurement of PrEP will be performed at week 16 to assess plasma PK of FTC, TFV, and TAF; and intracellular PBMC FTC-TP and TFV-DP in the absence of MHT.
