To study the pharmacokinetic properties, safety and viral resistance pattern of the combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine in HIV-1-infected pregnant women and their newborns, with a view to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV-1 in Africa and Asia.

Official Title: | Phase II Trial, Multicentre, Opened Label Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics and the Safety and Toxicity of the Tenofovir-Emtricitabine Combination in Pregnant Women and Infants in Africa and Asia |
- Pharmacokinetic parameters of TDF and FTC in the mother and child [ Time Frame: during labor and first 72 hours of life ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Safety of TDF + FTC in pregnant women [ Time Frame: during labor and 2 months after delivery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Safety of TDF + FTC in children [ Time Frame: 2 months after birth ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Frequency of viral resistance to TDF and FTC in the mothers and in the infected children [ Time Frame: at D2 and W4 postpartum/postnatal ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Effect of the antiretroviral combination on maternal viral load [ Time Frame: D2 and W4 post-partum ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Single-dose nevirapine (sdNVP) is the option of choice for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV-1 in countries with limited resources. However, the use of sdNVP results in resistance mutations with an estimated frequency at of least 15 to 70% in women at W4-W6 postpartum. These mutations could compromise the success of subsequent treatments of mother and child with antiretroviral combinations that include NVP. Pre-clinical and clinical studies suggest that a combination of TDF and FTC, drugs with interesting pharmacokinetic properties that may be a useful alternative or complement to sdNVP.
The objectives are to study the pharmacokinetic properties, safety and viral resistance pattern of the combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate {TDF, 600 mg} and emtricitabine {FTC, 400 mg}) in HIV-1-infected pregnant women and their newborns, with a view to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV-1 in Africa and Asia.
Phase II trial, multicentre, open-label will be conducted in two steps with 30 mother-infant pairs per step and with a balanced allocation in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), Soweto (South Africa) and Phnom Penh (Cambodia):
Step 1: administration of TDF/FTC to the mother; Step 2: administration of TDF/FTC to the mother and the newborn.
