TMC125 is a next-generation NNRTI with potent activity against both wild-type
HIV-1 and HIV-1 resistant to current NNRTIs1
Two Phase III trials (DUET-1 and DUET-2) demonstrated significant antiviral
benefit after 24 weeks of treatment with TMC125 in treatment-experienced
patients with resistance to currently approved NNRTIs. Except for a higher incidence of rash, patients treated with TMC125 had an AE profile similar to
TMC125 is predominantly metabolised by the cytochrome P450 enzymes
CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, followed by glucuronidation; it is an inducer
of CYP3A4 and an inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19
Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is used in the
clinical management of depression and anxiety and is frequently administered

Paroxetine is primarily metabolised by CYP2D64,5 and partly by CYP3A4, and
subsequently conjugated into its pharmacologically inactive metabolites.
Paroxetine is also an inhibitor of CYP2D6
