HIV Clinical Pharmacology and ImplementationResearch in YRG CARE, India
S. Saravanan, PhD
4th Annual Workshop on
• YRGCARE Medical Center is a 20- bed clinical facility with an
intensive care unit, an outpatient unit, counseling and nutritional
services, a subsidized pharmacy with adherence program.
• YRGCARE has a well developed Hospital Management System
(HMS) database which integrates the clinic, laboratory and
pharmacy. The Natural History Database (NHD), a subset of the HMS,
provides valuable insight about the progression of HIV disease in India.
• YR Gaitonde Centre for AIDS Research and Education (YRGCARE) in Chennai, India is a non-profit medical and research institution. Established in 1993, the activities are organized around
four core areas - Education, Care & Support, Research and Training.
Background
• YRG CARE Infectious Diseases Laboratory is quality assured by the College of American Pathologists (USA) and UK-
NEQAS (UK), quality controlled by the Johns Hopkins University, USA and Virology Quality Assurance Program, Rush, USA
• YRG CARE (Site ID: 11701 & Lab ID: 316) is one of the international multi site of NIH multi-centric clinical trials sponsored by DAIDS through HPTN and ACTG programs from the year 2000.
• YRG CARE performs all the protocol assays, which include HIV-RNA & DNA PCR, CD4, blood chemistries, CBC, infectious diseases serology, clinical pathology and diagnosis of opportunistic infections including TB.
• Affiliated to the University of Madras, Chennai for conducting Ph.D. degree program in Medical Microbiology.
• Biochemistry, Clinical Pathology, HIV Genotyping Lab, Hematology & Immunology, Microbiology, Serology, Virology & Molecular biology
• Accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL, New Delhi) and the NABL accreditation is assessed in accordance with ISO 15189:2007 standards for medical laboratories.
• YRG CARE Laboratory is the very first HIV specialty laboratory got accredited by the NABL in India.
Objectives
• Development and validation of analytical procedures for the quantification of antiretroviral agents.
• Participation in the DAIDS HIV Clinical Pharmacology Quality Assurance (CPQA) program.
• Implementation of DAIDS mandated requirements eventually to become Pharmacology Specialty Laboratory to support the scientific agenda of the DAIDS.

Current Status• Alliance e2695 /2998 PDA – Installed
• Completed Instrumentation & Application training
• Process of NIH Fogarty Application: UB AIDS Clinical Trials Group PSL & YRG CARE Planning Grant for Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low- and Middle- Income Country Institutions (D71)
• Upon the completion of technology transfer from UB, the assays will
be standardized and will complete the CPQA panels. Eventually the
PSL would support the scientific agenda of the ACTG/HPTN.
• The established PSL would carry out protocol-required pharmacologic
assays - analysis of PK/PD data from both primary protocols and sub-
studies.
• Develop concept proposal and integrate pharmacologic research
questions with the ACTG/HPTN scientific agenda.
Anticipated contribution of establishing Clinical Pharmacology at YRG CARE:
