Network

A network of European centres collects European pharmacokinetic data in pregnant women. The initiator of this European network is Prof. Dr. David Burger at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, the Netherlands. Dr. Angela Colbers is the coordinator of the PANNA study.

Why setting up a European Network?

In the US, a network performing PK studies (amongst other research) in pregnant women is in place: IMPAACT (formerly PACTG). The US population is a different patient population compared to the European population.

The EMA requires data in the European population as well: “patients entering clinical trials should be reasonably representative of the population that will be later treated by the drug”. In Europe, the demographics of HIV-infected pregnant women (Caucasian females and females born in Sub-Saharan Africa) are different from the US population.
