Researchers from the University of Liverpool presented data this week evaluating the use of nanotechnology to improve drug therapies for HIV patients. The team touted its data at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Seattle.
The trial enrolled healthy patients and evaluated the use of orally-dosed solid drug nanoparticles to optimize HIV therapy, according to lead researchers Andrew Owen and Steve Rannard.
The results demonstrated that the solid drug nanoparticles can cut the therapy dose of 2 drugs, efavirenz and lopinavir, by 50%, while maintaining therapeutic exposure.
