N-Substituted Bicyclic Carbamoyl Pyridones: Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors that Potently Inhibit Drug-Resistant HIV-1 Integrase Mutants. ACS Infect Dis 2024; 10:917-927. [PMID: 38346249 PMCID: PMC10928719 DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.3c00525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
HIV-1 integrase (IN) is an important molecular target for the development of anti-AIDS drugs. A recently FDA-approved second-generation integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) cabotegravir (CAB, 2021) is being marketed for use in long-duration antiviral formulations. However, missed doses during extended therapy can potentially result in persistent low levels of CAB that could select for resistant mutant forms of IN, leading to virological failure. We report a series of N-substituted bicyclic carbamoyl pyridones (BiCAPs) that are simplified analogs of CAB. Several of these potently inhibit wild-type HIV-1 in single-round infection assays in cultured cells and retain high inhibitory potencies against a panel of viral constructs carrying resistant mutant forms of IN. Our lead compound, 7c, proved to be more potent than CAB against the therapeutically important resistant double mutants E138K/Q148K (>12-fold relative to CAB) and G140S/Q148R (>36-fold relative to CAB). A significant number of the BiCAPs also potently inhibit the drug-resistant IN mutant R263K, which has proven to be problematic for the FDA-approved second-generation INSTIs.

Brief Report: Comparative Analysis of Pre-existing HIV Drug Resistance Mutations in Proviral DNA Using Next-Generation Sequencing and Routine HIV RNA Genotyping. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2023; 93:213-218. [PMID: 36961945 PMCID: PMC10272101 DOI: 10.1097/qai.0000000000003195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether deep sequencing of archived HIV DNA of antiretroviral-naive persons with acute/early HIV infection could identify transmitted drug resistance mutations (DRM), per the IAS drug resistance algorithm, which are not detected by routine bulk (consensus) sequencing. METHODS Deep sequencing of HIV DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and consensus sequencing from concurrent blood plasma (BP) was performed from antiretroviral (ART)-naive adults with recent infection. We compared the prevalence of low-frequency (2%-20%) and high-frequency (>20%) nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), and protease inhibitor (PI) DRM. RESULTS Overall, 190 individuals were included, 72 (37.9%) with acute, 20 (10.5%) with very early, and 98 (51.6%) with recent HIV infection. Although all DRM detected in plasma appeared in archived proviral DNA, 9 high-frequency mutations were only detected in HIV DNA. These included 3 NRTI mutations, 4 NNRTI mutations, 1 PI mutation, and 1 H221Y (associated rilpivirine resistance) mutation. When considering DRM <20%, 11 NNRTI, 7 NRTI, 6 PI, and 3 F227L (associated doravirine resistance) mutations were found exclusively in HIV DNA. Interestingly, although 2 high-frequency M184V appeared in both DNA and RNA, low-frequency M184I were exclusive to HIV DNA (n = 6). No participants experienced virologic failure after initiating ART during the median 25.39 ± 3.13 months of follow-up on treatment. CONCLUSION Although most high-frequency DRMs were consistently detected in HIV RNA and HIV DNA, the presence of low-frequency DRM in proviral DNA may be relevant for clinicians because these mutations could become dominant under drug selection pressure.

Evaluation of integrase resistance in individuals who failed a regimen containing dolutegravir in French and Italian clinical settings. J Antimicrob Chemother 2023; 78:1415-1422.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This work aims to evaluate integrase resistance and its predictors in HIV-1 infected combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) experienced individuals failing a dolutegravir-based regimen. METHODS Major resistance mutations (MRM) and genotypic susceptibility score (GSS) of dolutegravir companion drugs were evaluated on plasma genotypic resistance test (GRT) performed at dolutegravir failure. Logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated to the risk of integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTI)-resistance at dolutegravir failure. RESULTS We retrospectively analysed 467 individuals. At failure GRT, individuals had been under dolutegravir for a median (IQR) time of 11 (5-20) months; around half of them had never been exposed to INSTI (52%) and 10.7% were at first-line regimen. Fifty-eight (12.4%) individuals showed ≥1 INSTI MRM. Among them, people INSTI-exposed showed significantly higher prevalence of INSTI resistance compared to those who were INSTI naïve [46 (21.2%) versus 9 (3.9%), P < 0.001].N155H was the most prevalent MRM (5.4%), followed by G140S (4.5%) and Q148H (4.3%). These MRM were more probably present in INSTI-experienced individuals compared to those INSTI naïve. Despite failure, 89.5% of individuals harboured viral strains fully susceptible to dolutegravir and bictegravir and 85.0% to all INSTI. No INSTI exposure before receiving dolutegravir [OR: 0.35 (0.16-0.78), P < 0.010] and a GSS for companion drugs ≥2 (OR: 0.09 [0.04-0.23], P < 0.001) were negatively associated with INSTI resistance at failure. CONCLUSIONS In a large set of individuals failing dolutegravir in real-life, INSTI resistance was low and mainly related to previous first-generation INSTI exposure. Surveillance of integrase resistance remains crucial to preserve efficacy of INSTI class in the future.

Predicted effects of the introduction of long-acting injectable cabotegravir pre-exposure prophylaxis in sub-Saharan Africa: a modelling study. Lancet HIV 2023; 10:e254-e265. [PMID: 36642087 PMCID: PMC10065903 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3018(22)00365-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-acting injectable cabotegravir pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is recommended by WHO as an additional option for HIV prevention in sub-Saharan Africa, but there is concern that its introduction could lead to an increase in integrase-inhibitor resistance undermining treatment programmes that rely on dolutegravir. We aimed to project the health benefits and risks of cabotegravir-PrEP introduction in settings in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS With HIV Synthesis, an individual-based HIV model, we simulated 1000 setting-scenarios reflecting both variability and uncertainty about HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa and compared outcomes for each with and without cabotegravir-PrEP introduction. PrEP use is assumed to be risk-informed and to be used only in 3-month periods (the time step for the model) when having condomless sex. We consider three groups at risk of integrase-inhibitor resistance emergence: people who start cabotegravir-PrEP after (unknowingly) being infected with HIV, those who seroconvert while on PrEP, and those with HIV who have residual cabotegravir drugs concentrations during the early tail period after recently stopping PrEP. We projected the outcomes of policies of cabotegravir-PrEP introduction and of no introduction in 2022 across 50 years. In 50% of setting-scenarios we considered that more sensitive nucleic-acid-based HIV diagnostic testing (NAT), rather than regular antibody-based HIV rapid testing, might be used to reduce resistance risk. For cost-effectiveness analysis we assumed in our base case a cost of cabotegravir-PrEP drug to be similar to oral PrEP, resulting in a total annual cost of USD$144 per year ($114 per year and $264 per year considered in sensitivity analyses), a cost-effectiveness threshold of $500 per disability-adjusted life years averted, and a discount rate of 3% per year. FINDINGS Reflecting our assumptions on the appeal of cabotegravir-PrEP, its introduction is predicted to lead to a substantial increase in PrEP use with approximately 2·6% of the adult population (and 46% of those with a current indication for PrEP) receiving PrEP compared with 1·5% (28%) without cabotegravir-PrEP introduction across 20 years. As a result, HIV incidence is expected to be lower by 29% (90% range across setting-scenarios 6-52%) across the same period compared with no introduction of cabotegravir-PrEP. In people initiating antiretroviral therapy, the proportion with integrase-inhibitor resistance after 20 years is projected to be 1·7% (0-6·4%) without cabotegravir-PrEP introduction but 13·1% (4·1-30·9%) with. Cabotegravir-PrEP introduction is predicted to lower the proportion of all people on antiretroviral therapy with viral loads less than 1000 copies per mL by 0·9% (-2·5% to 0·3%) at 20 years. For an adult population of 10 million an overall decrease in number of AIDS deaths of about 4540 per year (-13 000 to -300) across 50 years is predicted, with little discernible benefit with NAT when compared with standard antibody-based rapid testing. AIDS deaths are predicted to be averted with cabotegravir-PrEP introduction in 99% of setting-scenarios. Across the 50-year time horizon, overall HIV programme costs are predicted to be similar regardless of whether cabotegravir-PrEP is introduced (total mean discounted annual HIV programme costs per year across 50 years is $151·3 million vs $150·7 million), assuming the use of standard antibody testing. With antibody-based rapid HIV testing, the introduction of cabotegravir-PrEP is predicted to be cost-effective under an assumed threshold of $500 per disability-adjusted life year averted in 82% of setting-scenarios at the cost of $144 per year, in 52% at $264, and in 87% at $114. INTERPRETATION Despite leading to increases in integrase-inhibitor drug resistance, cabotegravir-PrEP introduction is likely to reduce AIDS deaths in addition to HIV incidence. Long-acting cabotegravir-PrEP is predicted to be cost-effective if delivered at similar cost to oral PrEP with antibody-based rapid HIV testing.

Prevalence of HIV-1 Natural Polymorphisms and Integrase-Resistance-Associated Mutations in African Children. Viruses 2023; 15:v15020546. [PMID: 36851760 PMCID: PMC9964382 DOI: 10.3390/v15020546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Integrase inhibitors (INIs) are a potent option for HIV treatment. Limited data exist on INI resistance in West Africa, particularly in children living with HIV/AIDS. We determined the prevalence of integrase gene polymorphisms and the frequency of naturally occurring amino acid (aa) substitutions at positions associated with INI resistance. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples were obtained from one hundred and seven (107) HIV-1-infected children aged less than 15 years old in two West African countries, Benin and Mali. All children were naïve to INI treatment, 56 were naïve to anti-retroviral therapy (ART), and 51 had received ART. Genetic sequencing of HIV integrase was successful in 75 samples. The aa changes at integrase positions associated with INI resistance were examined according to the Stanford HIV Genotypic Resistance database. The median ages were 2.6 and 10 years for ART-naïve and -treated children, respectively. The most common subtypes observed were CRF02_AG (74.7%) followed by CRF06_cpx (20%). No major INI-resistance mutations at positions 66, 92, 121, 143, 147, 148, 155, and 263 were detected. The most prevalent INI accessory resistance mutations were: L74I/M (14/75, 18.6%) followed by E157Q (8/75, 10.6%), G163E/N/T/Q (5/75, 6.6%), Q95A/H/P (2/75, 2.6%), and T97A (4/75, 5.3%). Other substitutions observed were M50I/L/P, H51E/P/S/Q, I72V, T112V, V201I, and T206S. Polymorphisms at positions which may influence the genetic barrier and/or drive the selection of specific INI-resistance pathways were detected. However, no transmitted drug resistance (TDR) to INI was detected among samples of INI-naïve patients. These findings support the use of this treatment class for children with HIV-1, particularly in West Africa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Access to viral load measurements is constrained in resource-limited settings. A lateral flow urine tenofovir (TFV) rapid assay (UTRA) for patients whose regimens include TFV offers an affordable approach to frequent adherence monitoring. DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients to assess the utility of UTRA to predict virologic failure, defined as a viral load greater than 400 copies/ml. METHODS We assessed urine TFV among 113 participants at increased risk of viral failure (who had previous viral failure on this regimen or had previously been ≥30 days out of care), comparing low genetic-barrier efavirenz (EFV) regimens (n = 60) to dolutegravir (DTG)-boosted or ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI/r)-based high genetic-barrier regimens (n = 53). Dried blood spots (DBS) for TFV-diphosphate and plasma for TFV concentrations were collected, with drug resistance assessed if viral failure present. RESULTS Among 113 participants, 17 of 53 received DTG or PI/r had viral failure at the cross-sectional visit, with 11 (64.7%) demonstrating an undetectable urine TFV; the negative-predictive value (NPV) of undetectable UTRA for viral failure was 85% (34/40); none of the 16 sequenced had dual class drug resistance. In those treated with EFV regimens the sensitivity was lower, as only 1 (4.8%) of 21 with viral failure had an undetectable UTRA (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Urine tenofovir-testing had a high negative-predictive value for viral failure in patients treated with DTG or ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor regimens, where viral failure was largely explained by poor drug adherence. Frequent monitoring with inexpensive lateral flow urine TFV testing should be investigated prospectively in between viral load visits to improve viral load suppression on DTG-based first-line therapy in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
The integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) dolutegravir is commonly used in combination antiretroviral therapy regimens and retains strong potency even with primary resistance mutations to some other INSTIs. Acquisition of accessory mutations to primary mutations results in significant increases in dolutegravir resistance. Previously, we reported that addition of the secondary mutation T97A can result in rapid treatment failure in individuals with INSTI mutations at positions 140 and 148. Here, we conducted a detailed case study of one of these individuals and find that T97A-containing HIV emerged from a large replicating population from only a few (≤4) viral lineages. When combined with primary INSTI resistance mutations, T97A provides a strong selective advantage; the finding that T97A-containing variants spread by replication and recombination, and persisted for months after discontinuing dolutegravir, has important implications as dolutegravir is rolled out worldwide.

Pre-Treatment Integrase Inhibitor Resistance and Natural Polymorphisms among HIV-1 Subtype C Infected Patients in Ethiopia. Viruses 2022; 14:v14040729. [PMID: 35458459 PMCID: PMC9029575 DOI: 10.3390/v14040729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been scaled up in many developing countries, including Ethiopia. However, subtype-dependent polymorphic differences might influence the occurrence of HIV-drug-resistance mutations (HIVDRMs). We analyzed the prevalence of pre-treatment integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) HIVDRMs and naturally occurring polymorphisms (NOPs) of the integrase gene, using plasma samples collected as part of the national HIVDR survey in Ethiopia in 2017. We included a total of 460 HIV-1 integrase gene sequences from INSTI-naïve (n = 373 ART-naïve and n = 87 ART-experienced) patients. No dolutegravir-associated HIVDRMs were detected, regardless of previous exposure to ART. However, we found E92G in one ART-naïve patient specimen and accessory mutations in 20/460 (4.3%) of the specimens. Moreover, among the 288 integrase amino acid positions of the subtype C, 187/288 (64.9%) were conserved (<1.0% variability). Analysis of the genetic barrier showed that the Q148H/K/R dolutegravir resistance pathway was less selected in subtype C. Docking analysis of the dolutegravir showed that protease- and reverse-transcriptase-associated HIVDRMs did not affect the native structure of the HIV-1 integrase. Our results support the implementation of a wide scale-up of dolutegravir-based regimes. However, the detection of polymorphisms contributing to INSTI warrants the continuous surveillance of INSTI resistance.

Effectiveness of integrase strand transfer inhibitors in HIV-infected treatment-experienced individuals across Europe. HIV Med 2022; 23:774-789. [PMID: 35199909 DOI: 10.1111/hiv.13262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the effectiveness and durability of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimens in pre-treated subjects. METHODS Treatment-experienced individuals starting an INSTI-based regimen during 2012-2019 were selected from the INTEGRATE collaborative study. The time to virological failure [VF: one measurement of viral load (VL) ≥ 1000 copies/mL or two ≥ 50 copies/ml or one VL measurement ≥ 50 copies/mL followed by treatment change] and to INSTI discontinuation were evaluated. RESULTS Of 13 560 treatments analysed, 4284 were from INSTI-naïve, non-viraemic (IN-NV) individuals, 1465 were from INSTI-naïve, viraemic (IN-V) individuals, 6016 were from INSTI-experienced, non-viraemic (IE-NV) individuals and 1795 were from INSTI-experienced, viraemic (IE-V) individuals. Major INSTI drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were previously detected in 4/519 (0.8%) IN-NV, 3/394 (0.8%) IN-V, 7/1510 (0.5%) IE-NV and 25/935 (2.7%) IE-V individuals. The 1-year estimated probabilities of VF were 3.1% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.5-3.8] in IN-NV, 18.4% (95% CI: 15.8-21.2) in IN-V, 4.2% (95% CI: 3.6-4.9) in IE-NV and 23.9% (95% CI: 20.9-26.9) in IE-V subjects. The 1-year estimated probabilities of INSTI discontinuation were 12.1% (95% CI: 11.1-13.0) in IN-NV, 19.6% (95% CI: 17.5-21.6) in IN-V, 10.8% (95% CI: 10.0-11.6) in IE-NV and 21.7% (95% CI: 19.7-23.5) in IE-V subjects. CONCLUSIONS Both VF and INSTI discontinuation occur at substantial rates in viraemic subjects. Detection of DRMs in a proportion of INSTI-experienced individuals makes INSTI resistance testing mandatory after failure.

Statewide Longitudinal Trends in Transmitted HIV-1 Drug Resistance in Rhode Island, USA. Open Forum Infect Dis 2022; 9:ofab587.

Abstract
Background HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance (TDR) remains a global challenge that can impact care, yet its comprehensive assessment is limited and heterogenous. We longitudinally characterized statewide TDR in Rhode Island. Methods Demographic and clinical data from treatment-naïve individuals were linked to protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase sequences routinely obtained over 2004-2020. TDR extent, trends, impact on first-line regimens, and association with transmission networks were assessed using the Stanford Database, Mann-Kendall statistic, and phylogenetic tools. Results In 1123 individuals, TDR to any antiretroviral increased from 8% (2004) to 26% (2020), driven by non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI; 5%-18%) and, to a lesser extent, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI; 2%-8%) TDR. Dual- and triple-class TDR rates were low, and major integrase strand transfer inhibitor resistance was absent. Predicted intermediate to high resistance was in 77% of those with TDR, with differential suppression patterns. Among all individuals, 34% were in molecular clusters, some only with members with TDR who shared mutations. Among clustered individuals, people with TDR were more likely in small clusters. Conclusions In a unique (statewide) assessment over 2004-2020, TDR increased; this was primarily, but not solely, driven by NNRTIs, impacting antiretroviral regimens. Limited TDR to multiclass regimens and pre-exposure prophylaxis are encouraging; however, surveillance and its integration with molecular epidemiology should continue in order to potentially improve care and prevention interventions.
