Abstract
The transformation of HIV into a manageable chronic condition has unveiled new clinical challenges associated with aging-related pathologies, including bone disease. This review explores the intricate relationship between HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and bone disease, highlighting the necessity of early diagnosis and preventative strategies to mitigate the increased risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures in people living with HIV (PLWHIV). It synthesizes the current literature to elucidate the multifactorial etiology of bone pathology in this population, that includes direct viral effects, chronic immune activation, ART-associated risks, and the impact of traditional risk factors for bone loss. Through a critical examination of modern diagnostic methods, lifestyle modifications, evidence-based preventive actions, and pharmacological treatments, the necessity for comprehensive management is highlighted, along with recommendations for integrated healthcare approaches vital for achieving optimal patient outcomes. By advocating for a proactive, patient-centered, and multidisciplinary strategy, this review proposes a plan to integrate bone health into standard HIV care through active risk identification, vigilant screening, effective preventive measures, tailored treatments, and informed decision-making, in an effort to ultimately enhance the quality of life for PLWHIV.

Improved bone and renal safety in younger tenofovir disoproxil fumarate experienced chronic hepatitis B patients after switching to tenofovir alafenamide or entecavir. Ann Hepatol 2023; 28:101119. [PMID: 37271480 DOI: 10.1016/j.aohep.2023.101119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Renal and bone impairment has been reported in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving long-term tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) therapy. This study aimed to assess the incidence of renal and bone impairment in CHB patients with long-term TDF therapy and to identify the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and renal function in these patients after switching to entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study collected clinical data from CHB patients who received TDF monotherapy over 96 weeks. The changes in BMD and renal function were analyzed after 96 weeks of switching antiviral regimens (ETV or TAF) or maintenance TDF. RESULTS At baseline, 154 patients receiving TDF monotherapy over 96 weeks were enrolled, with a younger median age of 36.75 years, 35.1% (54/154) of patients experienced elevated urinary β2 microglobulin and 20.1% (31/154) of patients had reduced hip BMD (T<-1). At week 96, among the 123 patients with baseline normal BMD, patients who maintained TDF (n=85) had experienced a decrease in hip BMD, while patients who switched antiviral regimens (n=38) experienced an increase (-13.97% vs 2.34%, p<0.05). Among patients with a baseline reduced BMD (n=31), the alterations in BMD were similar in patients who maintained TDF (n=5) and those who switched antiviral regimens (n=26) (-15.81% vs 7.35%, p<0.05). Irrespective of baseline BMD status, renal function decreased significantly in patients who maintained TDF and improved in patients who switched antiviral regimens. CONCLUSIONS Younger CHB patients on long-term TDF therapy are at high risk for bone and renal impairment, with the risk being reduced when switched to ETV or TAF.

Abstract
The estimated world prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is 316 million. HBV infection was identified in 1963 and nowadays is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) despite universal vaccination programs, and effective antiviral therapy. Long-term administration of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) has been the treatment of choice for chronic hepatitis B during the last decades. The NA has shown a good safety profile and high efficacy in controlling viral replication, improving histology, and decreasing the HCC incidence, decompensation, and mortality. However, the low probability of HBV surface antigen seroclearance made necessary an indefinite treatment. The knowledge, in recent years, about the different phases of the viral cycle, and the new insights into the role of the immune system have yielded an increase in new therapeutic approaches. Consequently, several clinical trials evaluating combinations of new drugs with different mechanisms of action are ongoing with promising results. This integrative literature review aims to assess the knowledge and major advances from the past of hepatitis B, the present of NA treatment and withdrawal, and the future perspectives with combined molecules to achieve a functional cure.

Efficacy, Convenience, Safety and Durability of DTG-Based Antiretroviral Therapies: Evidence from a Prospective Study by the Italian MaSTER Cohort. Viruses 2023; 15:v15040924. [PMID: 37112904 PMCID: PMC10145592 DOI: 10.3390/v15040924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Dolutegravir (DTG) is recommended by international guidelines as a main component of an optimal initial regimen of cART (combination antiretroviral treatment) in people living with HIV (PLWH) and in case of switching for failure or optimization strategies. However, studies on the performance of DTG-containing regimens and indications for switching therapies in the long term are sparse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate prospectively the performance of DTG-based regimens, using the metrics of "efficacy", "safety", "convenience" and ''durability'', among a nationally representative cohort of PLWH in Italy. Methods: We selected all PLWH in four centers of the MaSTER cohort who initiated a DTG-based regimen either when naïve or following a regimen switch between 11 July 2018 and 2 July 2021. Participants were followed until the outcomes were recorded or until the end of the study on 4 August 2022, whichever occurred first. Interruption was reported even when a participant switched to another DTG-containing regimen. Survival regression models were fitted to evaluate associations between therapy performance and age, sex, nationality, risk of HIV transmission, HIV RNA suppression status, CD4+ T-cell count, year of HIV diagnosis, cART status (naïve or experienced), cART backbone and viral hepatitis coinfection. Results: There were 371 participants in our cohort who initiated a DTG-based cART regimen in the time frame of the study. The population was predominantly male (75.2%), of Italian nationality (83.3%), with a history of cART use (80.9%), and the majority initiated a DTG-based regimen following a switch strategy in 2019 (80.1%). Median age was 53 years (interquartile range (IQR): 45-58). Prior cART regimen was based mostly on a combination of NRTI drugs plus a PI-boosted drug (34.2%), followed by a combination of NRTIs plus an NNRTI (23.5%). Concerning the NRTI backbone, the majority comprised 3TC plus ABC (34.5%), followed by 3TC alone (28.6%). The most reported transmission risk factor was heterosexual intercourse (44.2%). Total interruptions of the first DTG-based regimen were registered in 58 (15.6%) participants. The most frequent reason for interruption was due to cART simplification strategies, which accounted for 52%. Only 1 death was reported during the study period. The median time of total follow-up was 556 days (IQR: 316.5-722.5). Risk factors for poor performance of DTG-containing-regimens were found to be: a backbone regimen containing tenofovir, being cART naïve, having detectable HIV RNA at baseline, FIB-4 score above 3.25 and having a cancer diagnosis. By contrast, protective factors were found to be: higher CD4+ T-cell counts and higher CD4/CD8 ratio at baseline. Conclusion: DTG-based regimens were used mainly as a switching therapy in our cohort of PLWH who had undetectable HIV RNA and a good immune status. In this type of population, the durability of DTG-based regimens was maintained in 84.4% of participants with a modest incidence of interruptions mostly due to cART simplification strategies. The results of this prospective real-life study confirm the apparent low risk of changing DTG-containing regimens due to virological failure. They may also help physicians to identify people with increased risk of interruption for different reasons, suggesting targeted medical interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density (BMD) among HIV/AIDS patients in China. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of HIV-infected patients from October 2017 to August 2020. Demographic information, clinical data, and serum parameters were obtained. Univariable and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 1143 patients were included. In the ART-naive group, low BMD was diagnosed in 19.2% (117/608), including osteoporosis in 1.0% (6/608) and osteopenia in 18.3% (111/608). In the ART group, low BMD was diagnosed in 32.2% (231/717), including osteoporosis in 2.4% (17/717) and osteopenia in 29.8% (214/717). Using multivariate analysis, we identified age older than 50 years, body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2, and treatment based on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as independent risk factors for low BMD. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was a protective factor for low BMD. Among low BMD participants, the most common number of low BMD sites for a patient to have was 4 (33.6%, 117/348). CONCLUSION We confirmed a high prevalence of low BMD and osteoporosis in HIV/AIDS patients, and we identified age older than 50 years, low body mass index, and a treatment based on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as risk factors for low BMD. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol had a protective effect against low BMD. Among low BMD patients, patients most commonly had 4 sites with low BMD, which has been associated with fracture risk. In addition, bone changes to L1 can present before low BMD diagnosis and may be a potentially useful indicator that low BMD is developing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in BMD in women who switched from TDF, emtricitabine and a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (TDF/FTC/NNRTI) to abacavir, lamivudine and dolutegravir (ABC/3TC/DTG). METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial in which women aged ≥ 40 years were randomized 1:2 to continue TDF/FTC/NNRTI or switch to ABC/3TC/DTG. We analysed changes in BMD at the hip and lumbar spine from baseline to week 96 using linear regression, and markers of bone turnover and kidney function using repeated measures mixed effects models with multiple imputation for missing data. We conducted exploratory analyses of weight, mental health, sleep and symptoms attributed to HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy. RESULTS Ninety-one women [mean (standard deviation) age 50.4 (6.6) years] were randomized. Women who switched to ABC/3TC/DTG maintained viral suppression and experienced improvements in BMD at the lumbar spine (but not the neck of the femur or the total hip), bone resorption markers and proteinuria (total protein, albumin and retinol-binding protein) and modest weight gain without changes in body mass index. Although mean anxiety, depression and sleep scores did not differ between the two study arms, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance at baseline predicted ABC/3TC/DTG discontinuation for neuropsychiatric side effects [odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) 11.9 (2.0-71.6), 16.0 (2.6-97.9) and 10.0 (1.8-56.0), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS Switching from TDF/FTC/NNRTI to ABC/3TC/DTG improved the BMD of the lumbar spine and kidney function. These benefits need to be balanced against modest weight gain and the need for antiretroviral therapy substitutions in a proportion of participants.

Abstract
Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is included in first-line antiretroviral treatment (ART) for adolescents living with HIV (ALWH). Associated toxicities remain a concern. Objective We evaluated bone and renal safety outcomes in virologically suppressed South African ALWH after switching to TDF. Method We recruited virally suppressed (< 100 copies/mL) adolescents, aged 15-20 years, who switched from an abacavir (ABC)-based to a TDF-based efavirenz regimen. Bone mass and renal function were assessed at Week 0 and at Week 24 after the switch to TDF using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and serum renal markers. A change in the lumbar spine (LS) and the whole-body less head (WBLH) bone mineral density (BMD) Z-scores and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the two measures were compared (paired t-tests) and stratified by sex. Results Fifty participants (48% male), with a median duration of prior ART of 11.4 years, were enrolled. Among 47 participants with 24-week DXA results, 15 (32%) had either no change or a decreased LS-BMD after the switch, with a mean change of -1.6%. Overall, more female participants experienced this outcome: 58% versus 4%, P < 0.0001. The mean change (standard deviation) in the LS-Z-score was -0.03 (0.25) and in the WBLH-Z-score was 0.02 (0.24). A decrease in the eGFR from 132.2 to 120.4 was observed (P = 0.0003); however, the levels remained clinically acceptable. Conclusion South African ALWH switching from abacavir to TDF-based ART experienced statistically significant decreases in eGFR but not in LS and WBLH BMD. Female ALWH were more likely to experience a decrease in LS-BMD and may require closer monitoring.

[PMID: 34094860 PMCID: PMC8164002 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2021.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in persons with HIV (PWH). BMD provides information only about bone mineral quantity. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a noninvasive tool that estimates bone microarchitecture. The aim of this study is to measure BMD and TBS of Chinese PWH after one-year ART. METHODS We designed a retrospective study of adult Chinese PWH. Patients with a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan prior to ART initiation, and again 48 weeks later were included. Information regarding demographic and clinical history, HIV treatment history, BMD and TBS were collected. We analyzed differences in BMD and TBS over 48 weeks and associations between key risk factors and changes in BMD and TBS. RESULTS Our study included 233 PWH (mean age = 36.6 ± 11.1 years). Before ART initiation, 19.3% of PWH had normal BMD but abnormal TBS. Both BMD and TBS decreased after one-year ART. TDF and LPV/r-containing regimens were associated with greater declines in BMD at different site. Traditional risk factors such as old age, low BMI and female sex were associated with lower baseline TBS. Greater change in TBS over one year was associated with lower BMI and lower baseline CD4+ cell count, but unlike BMD measures, it was not correlated with treatment with TDF and LPV/r in our study population. CONCLUSIONS We present the first longitudinal analysis of change in TBS over 48 weeks compared with BMD among Asian PWH receiving ART. Before ART initiation, approximately 20% of PWH with impaired bone microarchitecture would not have been identified if DXA were used alone to assess for bone damage. Both BMD and TBS decreased after one-year ART. Change in TBS was not associated with different antiretroviral agents. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE The trabecular microarchitecture measured indirectly by TBS may provide clinicians additional information about bone damage in PWH.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This is the first study to report changes in BMD and related risk factors among Chinese patients with HIV after initiation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing antiretroviral therapy. Greater bone mineral density (BMD) loss was observed in patients treated with TDF, compared to those on non-TDF-containing regimens. Our findings provide important knowledge regarding the risk factors in the long-term clinical management of patients with HIV in China. INTRODUCTION Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk for osteoporosis and fracture. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with higher rates of bone mineral density (BMD) loss, osteoporosis, and fracture. Few studies have studied the impact among PLWH in Asia. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively patients from the outpatient HIV clinic of a large tertiary hospital in Beijing, China, from March 2007 to May 2016. Patients who had dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry testing prior to antiretroviral initiation and at 48 and/or 96 weeks after initiation were included in this analysis. RESULTS A total of 136 patients were included (mean age 36.0 ± 10.6 years) and over 90% participants were male and Han Chinese ethnicity. We observed greater declines in BMD at the spine from baseline to week 48 (-2.94% vs. -0.74%) and at the hip from baseline to week 96 (-4.37% vs. -2.34%) in the TDF group compared with the non-TDF group. With regard to HIV-specific parameters, longer duration since HIV diagnosis and undetectable viral load over time were associated with lower BMD at the hip [relative risk (RR) 0.97, 95% confidence index (CI) (0.95, 0.99) per 1 year increase and RR 0.96, 95%CI (0.94, 0.99), respectively] and femoral neck [RR 0.97, 95%CI (0.95, 0.99) per 1 year increase and RR 0.97, 95%CI (0.95, 0.998), respectively] over 96 weeks. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to report changes in BMD among PLWH after initiation of TDF-based antiretroviral therapy in China. Our findings provide important knowledge for the long-term clinical management of PLWH from this region.

Association between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Bone Mineral Density in HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Long-term TDF-Based Antiretroviral Therapy. Curr HIV Res 2021; 19:40-46. [PMID: 32940183 DOI: 10.2174/1570162x18999200917120449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir (TDF) has a detrimental effect on bone mineral density (BMD), while nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a lower BMD. OBJECTIVE To help understand the mutual effects of NAFLD and TDF on BMD, this study was designed to explore the potential association between NAFLD and BMD in HIV-infected patients receiving long-term TDF-based antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS A total of 89 HIV-infected patients who received TDF-based ART for more than three years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. We measured BMD using an ultrasonic bone density apparatus, and liver ultrasonography was performed to determine the severity of the fatty liver. The association of NAFLD with BMD was examined using multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Patients with NAFLD showed a worse BMD status than those without NAFLD. The incidence rates of osteopenia (42.86% versus 25.93%) and osteoporosis (17.14% versus 3.70%) were significantly higher in HIV-infected patients with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD. After multivariate adjustment, the odds ratio (OR) for patients with NAFLD exhibiting a worse BMD status compared with those without NAFLD was 4.49 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.42, 14.15). CONCLUSION Based on our results, NAFLD was significantly associated with a worse BMD status, including osteopenia and osteoporosis, in HIV patients after receiving long-term TDF-based ART. Furthermore, we may want to avoid using TDF for ART in HIV-infected patients with NAFLD.

Maina EK, Adan AA, Mureithi H, Muriuki J, Lwembe RM. A Review of Current Strategies Towards the Elimination of Latent HIV-1 and Subsequent HIV-1 Cure. Curr HIV Res 2021; 19:14-26. [PMID: 32819259 PMCID: PMC8573729 DOI: 10.2174/1570162x18999200819172009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background During the past 35 years, highly effective ART has saved the lives of millions of people worldwide by suppressing viruses to undetectable levels. However, this does not translate to the absence of viruses in the body as HIV persists in latent reservoirs. Indeed, rebounded HIV has been recently observed in the Mississippi and California infants previously thought to have been cured. Hence, much remains to be learned about HIV latency, and the search for the best strategy to eliminate the reservoir is the direction current research is taking. A systems-level approach that fully recapitulates the dynamics and complexity of HIV-1 latency In vivo and is applicable in human therapy is prudent for HIV eradication to be more feasible. Objectives The main barriers preventing the cure of HIV with antiretroviral therapy have been identified, progress has been made in the understanding of the therapeutic targets to which potentially eradicating drugs could be directed, integrative strategies have been proposed, and clinical trials with various alternatives are underway. The aim of this review is to provide an update on the main advances in HIV eradication, with particular emphasis on the obstacles and the different strategies proposed. The core challenges of each strategy are highlighted and the most promising strategy and new research avenues in HIV eradication strategies are proposed. Methods A systematic literature search of all English-language articles published between 2015 and 2019, was conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google scholar. Where available, medical subject headings (MeSH) were used as search terms and included: HIV, HIV latency, HIV reservoir, latency reactivation, and HIV cure. Additional search terms consisted of suppression, persistence, establishment, generation, and formation. A total of 250 articles were found using the above search terms. Out of these, 89 relevant articles related to HIV-1 latency establishment and eradication strategies were collected and reviewed, with no limitation of study design. Additional studies (commonly referenced and/or older and more recent articles of significance) were selected from bibliographies and references listed in the primary resources. Results In general, when exploring the literature, there are four main strategies heavily researched that provide promising strategies to the elimination of latent HIV: Haematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation, Shock and Kill Strategy, Gene-specific transcriptional activation using RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 system, and Block and Lock strategy. Most of the studies of these strategies are applicable in vitro, leaving many questions about the extent to which, or if any, these strategies are applicable to complex picture In vivo. However, the success of these strategies at least shows, in part, that HIV-1 can be cured, though some strategies are too invasive and expensive to become a standard of care for all HIV-infected patients. Conclusion Recent advances hold promise for the ultimate cure of HIV infection. A systems-level approach that fully recapitulates the dynamics and complexity of HIV-1 latency In vivo and applicable in human therapy is prudent for HIV eradication to be more feasible. Future studies aimed at achieving a prolonged HIV remission state are more likely to be successful if they focus on a combination strategy, including the block and kill, and stem cell approaches. These strategies propose a functional cure with minimal toxicity for patients. It is believed that the cure of HIV infection will be attained in the short term if a strategy based on purging the reservoirs is complemented with an aggressive HAART strategy.

Low bone mineral density is a potential risk factor for symptom onset and related with hypocitraturia in urolithiasis patients: a single-center retrospective cohort study. BMC Urol 2020; 20:174. [PMID: 33121459 PMCID: PMC7596945 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-020-00749-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with urolithiasis have a lower bone mineral density (BMD) than those without stones, suggesting a potential correlation between calcium stone formation and bone resorption disorders, including osteopenia and osteoporosis. Methods To investigate the influence of BMD on clinical outcomes in urolithiasis, we performed a single-center retrospective cohort study to analyze patients with urolithiasis who underwent both BMD examination and 24-h urine collection between 2006 and 2015. Data from the national cross-sectional surveillance of the Japanese Society on Urolithiasis Research in 2015 were utilized, and additional data related to urinary tract stones were obtained from medical records. The primary outcome was the development of stone-related symptoms and recurrences during follow-up. A total of 370 patients were included in this 10-year study period. Results Half of the patients had recurrent stones, and the two-thirds were symptomatic stone formers. While only 9% of patients had hypercalciuria, 27% and 55% had hyperoxaluria and hypocitraturia, respectively. There was a positive correlation between T-scores and urinary citrate excretion. Both univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that female sex was associated with recurrences (odds ratio = 0.44, p = 0.007), whereas a T-score < − 2.5 and hyperoxaluria were associated with symptoms (odds ratio = 2.59, p = 0.037; odds ratio = 0.45, p = 0.01; respectively). Conclusion These results revealed that low T-scores might cause symptoms in patients with urolithiasis, suggesting the importance of BMD examination for high-risk Japanese patients with urolithiasis having hypocitraturia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD). We evaluated changes in BMD in women who switched from TDF, emtricitabine and a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (TDF/FTC/NNRTI) to abacavir, lamivudine and dolutegravir (ABC/3TC/DTG). METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial in which women aged ≥40 years were randomized 1:2 to continue TDF/FTC/NNRTI or switch to ABC/3TC/DTG. The primary endpoint was change in total hip BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at week 48. Secondary endpoints were changes in BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck and markers of bone turnover and kidney function up to week 48. We conducted exploratory analyses of weight gain, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Primary and secondary endpoints were analysed by linear regression, with multiple imputation for missing time points. RESULTS In all, 91 women [mean age = 50.4 (standard deviation [SD] = 6.6) years, median CD4 cell count = 600 (interquartile range: 479-800) cells/µL] were randomized. Women who switched to ABC/3TC/DTG maintained viral suppression and experienced improvements in total hip BMD (mean adjusted difference = 1%, P = 0.027) and lumbar spine BMD (3%, P = 0.002), with no change in specific markers of bone turnover or renal tubular function. Although participants in the ABC/3TC/DTG arm gained more weight (1.8 kg, P = 0.046), the switch strategy was not associated with reduced insulin sensitivity or new-onset metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Switching from TDF/FTC/NNRTI to ABC/3TC/DTG resulted in improved BMD. Although weight gain was common in women who switched from TDF/FTC/NNRTI to ABC/3TC/DTG, we did not detect adverse effects on glucose homeostasis. Larger studies need to confirm these findings.

Abstract
A male hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier in his 40s under hemodialysis treatment exhibited chronic hepatitis (alanine aminotransferase: 41 IU/L, HBV-DNA: >9.1 log copies/mL). Following discontinuation of the initial treatment with pegylated interferon-α-2a at 24 weeks due to adverse effects, the administration of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (300 mg/week) led to a rapid improvement in hepatitis markers: HBV DNA became undetectable at month 34, and seroconversion of hepatitis B envelope antigen was confirmed at 45 months. No side effects were recorded during TDF treatment. TDF is a newly approved nucleoside analogue that may cause severe side effects via proximal tubular injury in patients with renal dysfunction. However, few reports have described its use in hemodialysis patients, whose anuric state may render them less susceptible to side effects including kidney injury. Hepatitis improved remarkably without any adverse drug reactions in the present case. TDF may therefore be considered for chronic hepatitis B patients receiving hemodialysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The serum calcium/phosphorus (Ca/P) ratio is an accurate tool to differentiate patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) from healthy subjects. However, other disorders of the Ca-P metabolism might impair the Ca/P ratio, such as hypophosphatemia (HypoP) not PHPT related. The aim of this study is to examine the diagnostic value of Ca/P ratio in the diagnosis of PHPT and HypoP not PHPT related. METHODS Single-center, retrospective, case-control study, including 150 patients with PHPT and 306 patients with HypoP, compared with 150 controls. HypoP patients were enrolled among HIV-infected patients by selecting those with Fanconi-like syndrome due to antiretroviral treatment. Parameters which were measured were serum Ca, P, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-OH vitamin D, albumin and creatinine). RESULTS The Ca/P ratio was significantly higher in PHPT and HypoP patients, compared to controls (p < 0.0001). At receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the cut-off of 3.56 (2.75 SI) for Ca/P ratio was able to identify patients with PHPT and HypoP (sensitivity 95%; specificity 93%). Among patients with Ca/P ratio above 3.56, the thresholds of 10.3 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) for serum Ca (sensitivity 93%; specificity 98%) and 80.5 pg/mL for PTH (sensitivity 91%; specificity 91%) were defined for the specific diagnosis of PHPT. CONCLUSIONS The Ca/P ratio above 3.56 (2.75 SI) is a highly accurate tool to identify PHPT and HypoP not PHPT-related patients. Thanks to its simplicity, this index can be proposed as a screening and first-line examination in the diagnostic work-up when a disorder of Ca-P metabolism is suspected or should be ruled out.

Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) declines due to tenofovir-containing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have varied among PrEP demonstration projects, potentially related to variable adherence. Characterization of BMD changes in highly adherent individuals, estimated via tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) levels in dried blood spots (DBS), can assist clinicians when counseling patients. Cisgender men who have sex with men and transwomen in the optional dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) substudy of a large, international, open-label PrEP demonstration project, the iPrEx-open-label extension (OLE) study underwent DXA scans and DBS collection every 24 weeks, with average weekly dosing adherence patterns (2, 4, and 7 doses/week) estimated from validated TFV-DP cut-offs. The mean percent BMD change was estimated in strata of average weekly adherence by using a linear mixed-effects model to calculate the BMD decline in highly adherent individuals on PrEP for the first time. DXA/DBS data were available for 254 individuals over a median of 24 weeks in iPrEx-OLE from June 2011 to December 2013. The percent decline in spine BMD was monotonically associated with strata of increasing average weekly adherence (p < .001 trend); the p value for trends using hip BMD measurements was .07. Individuals with estimated daily adherence experienced a 1.2% decrease in spine BMD and a 0.5% drop in hip BMD. In highly adherent PrEP users, we found a lower-than-expected drop in BMD when compared with previous studies. This drop is likely not clinically significant for most PrEP users. However, for those at the highest risk of fracture who plan prolonged PrEP use, alternate PrEP strategies could be considered.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a frequently observed complication in patients with chronic liver disease, particularly liver cirrhosis and cholestatic liver diseases. In addition, osteoporosis is critical in patients receiving a liver transplant. Nevertheless, few studies have evaluated bone diseases in patients with more frequently observed chronic liver disease, such as chronic viral hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease. Osteoporosis is a disease caused by an imbalance in the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Over the last few decades, many advances have improved our knowledge of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Importantly, activated immune cells affect the progression of osteoporosis, and chronic inflammation may exert an additional effect on the existing pathophysiology of osteoporosis. The microbiota of the intestinal tract may also affect the progression of bone loss in patients with chronic liver disease. Recently, studies regarding the effects of chronic inflammation on dysbiosis in bone diseases have been conducted. However, mechanisms underlying osteoporosis in patients with chronic liver disease are complex and precise mechanisms remain unknown. The following special considerations in patients with chronic liver disease are reviewed: bone diseases in patients who underwent a liver transplant, the association between chronic hepatitis B virus infection treatment and bone diseases, the association between sarcopenia and bone diseases in patients with chronic liver disease, and the association between chronic liver disease and avascular necrosis of the hip. Few guidelines are currently available for the management of low bone mineral density or bone diseases in patients with chronic liver disease. Due to increased life expectancy and therapeutic advances in chronic liver disease, the importance of managing osteoporosis and other bone diseases in patients with chronic liver disease is expected to increase. Consequently, specific guidelines need to be established in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a primary antiretroviral agent used to treat AIDS, triggers systematic bone loss. However, the effect of TDF on osteopenia or osteoporosis in the jaw remains unclear. TDF-induced bone loss in the jaw, if any, likely involves mandible-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MMSCs), which play a key role in jawbone metabolism. Probiotics prevent long bone loss, and could prove efficacious in treating TDF-induced mandibular bone loss. OBJECTIVES To determine whether TDF triggers mandibular bone loss, elucidate the underlying mechanisms, and study the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on TDF-induced bone loss in the jaw. METHODS Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate was administered orally daily and LGG semiweekly from eight weeks to the end of the study (LGG group) to male C57BL6/J mice. The mice were sacrificed, and body weight (BW) and serum Ca and P were measured. Mandibular histomorphometry was evaluated by micro-CT. MMSCs and LGG culture supernatants were isolated, and MMSC proliferation and ALP production when treated with different concentrations of LGG supernatant and/or TDF were measured. Relative abundance of osteogenic markers was assessed by qPCR. RESULTS Orally administered LGG protected against bone mass loss and deterioration of bone microarchitecture and increased serum P levels. The BW of the TDF group was highest among the study groups. TDF partially impaired osteogenesis and proliferation of MMSCs. LGG culture supernatant rescued MMSC osteogenesis and proliferation, and osteogenic gene expression. CONCLUSIONS Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG protected against tenofovir-induced mandibular bone loss in mice by rescuing MMSC proliferation and osteogenesis.

Abstract
Introduction: Combined antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV infection into a chronic disease thus people living with HIV (PLWH) live longer. As a result, the management of HIV infection is becoming more challenging as elderly experience age-related comorbidities leading to complex polypharmacy and a higher risk for drug-drug or drug-disease interactions. Furthermore, age-related physiological changes affect pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics thereby predisposing elderly PLWH to incorrect dosing or inappropriate prescribing and consequently to adverse drug reactions and the subsequent risk of starting a prescribing cascade. Areas covered: This review discusses the demographics of the aging HIV population, physiological changes and their impact on drug response as well as comorbidities. Particular emphasis is placed on common prescribing issues in elderly PLWH including drug-drug interactions with antiretroviral drugs. A PubMed search was used to compile relevant publications until February 2019. Expert opinion: Prescribing issues are highly prevalent in elderly PLWH thus highlighting the need for education on geriatric prescribing principles. Adverse health outcomes potentially associated with polypharmacy and inappropriate prescribing should promote interventions to prevent harm including medication reconciliation, medication review, and medication prioritization according to the risks/benefits for a given patient. A multidisciplinary team approach is recommended for the care of elderly PLWH.

Abstract
Life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) is reaching similar length as in the general population. Accordingly, age-related comorbidities, including osteoporosis, are increasing. Fracture risk is higher and increases approximately 10 years earlier in PLWH. Classical risk factors of bone fragility are highly prevalent in PLWH but factors specific for HIV infection itself and the type of antiretroviral therapy (ART) (triple combination antiretroviral therapy) regimen (especially tenofovir and protease inhibitors) also contribute to bone loss. The majority of bone loss occurs during virus activity and at initiation of ART (immune reconstitution) and is associated with an increase of bone resorption (upregulation RANKL). Recent data indicate that calcium and vitamin D supplements as ART initiation lower BMD loss. The reduction of tenofovir plasma concentrations with tenofovir alafenamide attenuates BMD loss but it remains unknown whether it will contribute to reduce fracture risk. Hence, special considerations for the management of bone fragility in PLWH are warranted. Based on the current state of epidemiology and pathophysiology of osteoporosis in PLWH, we provide the consensus of the Swiss Association against Osteoporosis on best practice for diagnosis, prevention, and management of osteoporosis in this population. Periodic assessment of fracture risk is indicated in all HIV patients and general preventive measures should be implemented. All postmenopausal women, men above 50 years of age, and patients with other clinical risk for fragility fractures qualify for BMD measurement. An algorithm clarifies when treatment with bisphosphonates and review of ART regimen in favour of more bone-friendly options are indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual therapy based on dolutegravir and ritonavir-boosted darunavir (DTG/DRV/r) is a combination of well-known drugs with a high genetic barrier to HIV resistance. METHOD A retrospective analysis of all HIV-1 infected treatment-experienced patients who switched to DTG/DRV/r from May 2014 till March 2017 in 4 Polish centres-results of a 48-week treatment. RESULTS The study group consisted of 59 men and 17 women. Median baseline parameters were: age- 42.7 years, CD4 cells count- 560.5 cells/μl, CD4 cells nadir- 150 cells/μl, number of prior antiretroviral regimens- 3. The introduction of dual therapy was primarily due to virologic failure (30 patients), adverse events on previous regimens (17 patients) and therapy simplification (27 patients). At week 48 the treatment was continued in 70/76 of patients and the median CD4 cells count increased from 560.5 to 641.0 cells/μl. The therapy was discontinued in six patients (1 -virologic failure, 1 -decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 1 -myalgia, 3 -lost to follow-up). At week 48 six patients had detectable viremia, but only in one patient viremia was higher than 200 copies/ml. At week 48 the level of serum total cholesterol of the investigated subjects was statistically significantly higher than at the moment of dual therapy introduction (185.8 mg/dl vs. 174.8 mg/dl- p<0.05). However, in patients previously not treated with TDF, there were no changes in lipid parameters during therapy. Proteinuria was observed in 13.2% of patients before the switch to dual therapy and in 7.1% of patients at week 48. CONCLUSIONS The investigated dual therapy was effective and safe. The observed increase in lipid parameters only concerned the patients who had used a TDF-based regimen prior to analysed dual treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We compared bone mineral density (BMD) changes and their correlates, between men and women participating in two randomized trials of initial [antiretroviral therapy (ART)] regimens, with or without tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). METHODS Covariates in linear regression models of 48-week hip and spine %BMD changes, by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, included baseline and 48-week changes in plasma viral load, CD4 cells, plasma C-terminal telopeptide, procollagen 1 N-terminal propeptide and glomerular filtration rates, and the 48-week area under the curve of fractional excretion of phosphate. RESULTS Despite overall hip and spine BMD declines of 2.8 and 2.9%, respectively, plasma viral load suppression to less than 50 vs. at least 50 copies/ml was associated 1.0% (P = 0.02) and 0.8% (P = 0.01) less BMD decline. Women had lower baseline spine (P = 0.04; n = 59 women, 418 men) and hip BMD (P = 0.01) in adjusted models, with 1.7% more hip decline on ART than men (P = 0.001). Serum phosphate was positively associated with baseline spine BMD in women (P = 0.03) but not men, and area under the curve of fractional excretion of phosphate was negatively associated with spine BMD changes, particularly in women randomized to TDF regimens (P = 0.03 and 0.054 for interactions by sex, and randomization to TDF vs. non-TDF regimens, respectively; n = 44 women, 326 men). Women also had 0.6% (P = 0.004) more hip BMD decline than men associated with each 100 CD4 cells/μl increase on ART (P = 0.02; n = 49 women, 379 men). CONCLUSION Women randomized to TDF-containing ART had accentuated spine loss associated with phosphaturia, and accentuated hip loss associated with CD4 restoration, regardless of TDF exposure. Viral load suppression reduced bone loss.

Abstract
Daily PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV-1 acquisition, but risks of long-term tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) include renal decline and bone mineral density decrease in addition to initial gastrointestinal side effects. We investigated the impact of TDF-FTC on the enteric microbiome using rectal swabs collected from healthy MSM before PrEP initiation and after 48 to 72 weeks of adherent PrEP use. The V4 region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing showed that Streptococcus was significantly reduced from 12.0% to 1.2% (p = 0.036) and Erysipelotrichaceae family was significantly increased from 0.79% to 3.3% (p = 0.028) after 48–72 weeks of daily PrEP. Catenibacterium mitsuokai, Holdemanella biformis and Turicibacter sanguinis were increased within the Erysipelotrichaceae family and Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus mitis were reduced. These changes were not associated with host factors including PrEP duration, age, race, tenofovir diphosphate blood level, any drug use and drug abuse, suggesting that the observed microbiome shifts were likely induced by daily PrEP use. Long-term PrEP resulted in increases of Catenibacterium mitsuokai and Holdemanella biformis, which have been associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis. Our observations can aid in characterizing PrEP’s side effects, which is likely to improve PrEP adherence, and thus HIV-1 prevention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Triple combinations of antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs are the standard treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, but the challenges include long-term side effects, high costs, and adherence. The recent advent of potent and well-tolerated ART has renewed the interest for newer ART strategies. A dual regimen with the combination of dolutegravir (DTG) and rilpivirine (RPV), two well-tolerated, metabolic-friendly, and potent drugs could offer additional benefits. Areas covered: A review of recent randomized trials and observational cohorts concerning the use of a dual therapy with DTG plus RPV as a switching strategy in patients with viral suppression. Expert commentary: Currently, data of more of 900 patients switched to this dual regimen are available. This combination shows a high rate of virological suppression, above 90% at 48 weeks, few discontinuations due to adverse events, improvement in bone and kidney parameters for patients discontinuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, lack of loss of the inflammatory control achieved with triple therapy, and a neutral effect on lipid parameters. Thus, for the first time, a dual regimen without protease inhibitors is effective, avoiding metabolic side effects and drug interactions. Longer follow-up is needed, but this dual regimen appears as a promising strategy for aging HIV-infected patients.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Perinatally HIV-infected adolescents may be at increased risk of noninfectious comorbidities later in life. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) among HIV-infected adolescents in high-income and lower middle-income countries, and identifies key questions that remain unanswered. We review atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD), chronic bone disease (CBD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and chronic lung disease (CLD). RECENT FINDINGS Persistent immune activation and inflammation underlie the pathogenesis of AVD, highlighting the importance of treatment adherence and maintenance of viral suppression, and the need to evaluate interventions to decrease risk. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and trials of vitamin D supplementation have been the focus of recent studies of CBD with limited studies to date evaluating tenofovir alafenamide as an alternative to TDF for decreasing risk for bone and renal adverse effects among HIV-infected adolescents. Recent studies of CKD have focused primarily on estimating prevalence in different settings whereas studies of CLD are limited. SUMMARY As perinatally HIV-infected children age into adolescence and adulthood with effective long-term ART, it is necessary to continue to evaluate their risks for noninfectious comorbidities and complications, understand mechanisms underlying their risks, and identify and evaluate interventions specifically in this population.

Bone mineral density reductions after tenofovir disoproxil fumarate initiation and changes in phosphaturia: a secondary analysis of ACTG A5224s. J Antimicrob Chemother 2018; 72:2042-2048.

Abstract
Background It is unknown if the greater reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) associated with initiation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate compared with abacavir in previously untreated HIV-infected participants in the ACTG A5224s clinical trial were associated with potentially worsening tenofovir-related phosphaturia. Methods We correlated changes in BMD at the hip and spine with changes in phosphaturia [transtubular reabsorption of phosphorus (TRP) and tubular maximum phosphate reabsorption per glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR)] from entry through week 96 in those initiating tenofovir ( n = 134) versus abacavir ( n = 135) with efavirenz or atazanavir/ritonavir in A5224s. We also correlated changes in BMD with tenofovir AUC measured between weeks 4 and 24. Results Changes in TRP and TmP/GFR through week 96 between the tenofovir and abacavir arms were not significantly different (both P ≥ 0.70) and did not differ with use of efavirenz versus atazanavir/ritonavir. There were no significant correlations between changes in either TRP or TmP/GFR and with either hip or spine BMD in the tenofovir arms. Tenofovir AUC was significantly correlated with changes in hip BMD, but not spine BMD, at week 24 ( r = -0.22, P = 0.028) and week 48 ( r = -0.26, P = 0.010), but not at week 96 ( r = -0.14, P = 0.18). Conclusions Changes in phosphaturia were not different between the tenofovir and abacavir arms in A5224s. Changes in hip and spine BMD with tenofovir were not related to changes in phosphaturia. However, tenofovir exposure was weakly associated with changes in hip BMD through week 48.

Abstract
OBJECIVE Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to assess bone health in HIV patients. DXA measures the amount of mineral, but not other key aspects of bone strength such as bone microarchitecture or bone quality. Trabecular bone score (TBS) and in-vivo microindentation directly measure trabecular microarchitecture and bone tissue quality, respectively. The aim of this study is to measure bone strength properties using these techniques. RESULTS Forty naive HIV patients who were going to start antiretroviral therapy (ART), a single pill treatment with elvitegravir/cobicistat, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), emtricitavine (FTC) were included. A significant reduction in BMD at spine (-3.25%, P < 0.001) and in femoral neck (-3.82%, P = 0.016) between baseline and 48 weeks of treatment were found. Bone microarchitecture score at the spine, as measured by TBS, also significantly decreased from 1.357 (0.09) to 1.322 (0.09) (-2.5%, P = 0.011) between baseline to 48 weeks of treatment. Microindentation (BMSi) values were significantly higher than at baseline [89.04 (4.2) versus 86.07 (6.1); 3.49%, P < 0.001] after 48 weeks of TDF-based ART treatment, indicating improved bone material properties CONCLUSION:: A significant decrease in BMD and TBS were observed after 1 year of TDF therapy. However, tissue quality significantly improved after 1 year of treatment, suggesting a recovery of bone material properties following the control of the infection despite the significant reduction of BMD. These techniques provide additional and necessary information to DXA about bone health in treated HIV patients, and because of its convenience and feasibility they could be routinely apply to assess bone in clinical practice.

Abstract
Aims The dynamics of resistance-associated mutations under combination therapy were explored. Methods A total of 46 patients were classified into adefovir (n=14) and entecavir (n=32) groups. In the adefovir (ADV) group, six patients receiving combined therapy were DNA-positive after more than 3 years of therapy. Ultra-deep pyrosequencing was used to analyze the dynamics of multi-drugs resistance mutations. Results At baseline, all 46 treatment-naïve patients harbored rtA181V/T substitutions (1.2%-4.6%) and rtN236T substitutions (1.6%-6.1%). In the ADV group, eight patients with long-term treatment were consecutively HBV DNA-positive for more than 3 years. During treatment, the rtA181T resistance-associated site appeared with increasing frequency in six of eight patients (NOs. 1-6), and two patients (NOs.4 and 8) carrying the rtA181T resistance mutations increasingly showed high levels of rtN236T. One patient (NO. 8) experienced virological breakthrough. Other known pre-existing mutations showed no dynamic fluctuations, including in rtA194T, rtP177G, rtF249A, and rtD263E. In addition to the common substitutions, some previously unknown amino acid substitutions, such as rtD134N, rtL145M/S, rtF151Y/L, rtR153Q, and rtS223A, should be further studied. Conclusions HBV-resistance substitutions conferring to nucleoside analogs are present at baseline. The dynamics of the HBV RT-region quasispecies variation are heterogeneous and complex.

Abstract
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has recently been approved for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). It is more stable than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in the plasma and can provide similar efficacy with lower circulating concentration in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Areas covered: This synopsis will review the current anti-HBV standard practice and the changing epidemiology of CHB, specifically the controversies surrounding the renal and bone safety associated with TDF use in the context of an aging CHB population. We will review data from phase 3 registration trials, which demonstrated TAF was not inferior to TDF in antiviral efficacy for both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, while associated with less reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate and bone mineral density. Expert commentary: Current data supports the use of TAF as one of the first-line antiviral agents for general CHB patients without hepatic decompensation. However, more real-world data with long-term observation are needed to better define the role of TAF among other oral regimens. Additional studies are also needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAF in special populations such as those with impaired hepatic function, existing impaired renal and/or bone function, and in pregnant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES HIV infection has been associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has a deleterious effect on BMD, but its effect on bone fragility is not clear. The objective of this study is to analyze the BMD, microarchitecture, and tissue quality of bone in patients receiving long-term tenofovir- or abacavir-based ART. DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study in patients with HIV undergoing tenofovir or abacavir ART for more than 5 years. METHODS We measured BMD using dual X-ray absorptiometry ,bone michroarchitecture using trabecular bone score (TBS), and bone tissue quality using microindentation. TBS is a dual X-ray absorptiometry-based software that is more highly correlated with bone fragility than BMD. Microindentation (BMSi) directly assesses bone quality at the tissue level. RESULTS A total of 63 patients were included in this study, with 36 belonging to the TDF-FTC group and 27 to the ABC-3TC group. Patients receiving TDF-FTC treatment showed lower BMD values than those in the ABC-3TC group. We found no differences in TBS or microindentation between the 2 groups. However, after adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, and 25[OH]vitD we found lower BMSi and thus poorer bone properties in the TDF-FTC group than in the ABC-3TC group [beta coefficient -3.594 (confidence interval: 95% -0.12 to -7.61); P = 0.043]. CONCLUSIONS Long-term treatment with TDF-FTC leads to impaired bone health, not only in terms of BMD but also in terms of bone quality, another determinant of overall bone strength. To complement BMD-based predictions, these other techniques may also be used to identify patients with excess fracture risk.

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy and tolerability of dual therapy containing raltegravir (RAL) and ritonavir boosted darunavir (DRV/r) in HIV-1-infected treatment-experienced patients. METHOD Retrospective analysis of 81 HIV-1-infected treatment-experienced patients (56 male and 25 female, 5 Polish centers) who switched to RAL/DRV/r. RESULTS The main reasons for the introduction of dual therapy were renal dysfunction (16/81 patients-19.8%) and virologic failure on previous regimens (15/81 patients-18.5%). At 48 weeks the treatment was continued in 58/81 (71.6% of patients). In three patients the therapy was discontinued because of virologic failure. However, no mutations to DRV or integrase inhibitors (InI) were detected. At 48 weeks of treatment CD4+ lymphocyte count increased statistically significantly (median 121 cells/μL) P < 0.005. The main reasons for the discontinuation of therapy were treatment simplification (11/23-47.8% patients), adverse events (7/23 patients 30.4%), virologic failure (3/23 patients 13.0%). All patients who switched to RAL/DRV/r therapy because of prior renal impairment were maintained on the treatment for 48 weeks. In this group, before the introduction of dual therapy eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) <60 mL/min/1.72 m2 was reported in nine patients and after 48 weeks in four patients (56.3% vs 25%) (P > 0.05). We found a statistically significant decrease in the prevalence of proteinuria or eGFR <60 mL/min/1.72 m2 (93.8% vs 37.5%; P = 0.004 before and after the introduction of dual therapy, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Dual therapy was effective and safe for the vast majority of antiretroviral-experienced subjects. Such therapy can be recommended especially for patients with renal impairment or NRTIs intolerance.

Lancet HIV 2017; 4:e331-e340. [PMID: 28546090 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3018(17)30068-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 156] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2016] [Revised: 03/17/2017] [Accepted: 03/21/2017] [Indexed: 04/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cabotegravir (GSK1265744) is an HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor with potent antiviral activity and a long half-life when administered by injection that prevented simian-HIV infection upon repeat intrarectal challenge in male macaques. We aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of long-acting cabotegravir injections in healthy men not at high risk of HIV-1 infection. METHODS We did this multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2a trial at ten sites in the USA. Healthy men (aged 18-65 years) deemed not at high risk of acquiring HIV-1 at screening were randomly assigned (5:1), via computer-generated central randomisation schedules, to receive cabotegravir or placebo. Participants received oral cabotegravir 30 mg tablets or matching placebo once daily during a 4 week oral lead-in phase, followed by a 1 week washout period and, after safety assessment, three intramuscular injections of long-acting cabotegravir 800 mg or saline placebo at 12 week intervals. Study site staff and participants were masked to treatment assignment from enrolment through week 41 (time of the last injection). The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability from the first injection (week 5) to 12 weeks after the last injection. We did analysis in the safety population, defined as all individuals enrolled in the study who received at least one dose of the study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02076178. FINDINGS Between March 27, 2014, and Feb 23, 2016, we randomly assigned 127 participants to receive cabotegravir (n=106) or placebo (n=21); 126 (99%) participants comprised the safety population. Most participants were men who have sex with men (MSM; n=106 [83%]) and white (n=71 [56%]). 87 (82%) participants in the cabotegravir group and 20 (95%) participants in the placebo group completed the injection phase. Adverse events (n=7 [7%]) and injection intolerability (n=4 [4%]) were the main reasons for withdrawal in the cabotegravir group. The frequency of grade 2 or higher adverse events was higher in participants in the long-acting cabotegravir group (n=75 [80%]) than in those in the placebo group (n=10 [48%]; p=0·0049), mostly due to injection-site pain (n=55 [59%]). No significant differences were noted in concomitant medications, laboratory abnormalities, electrocardiogram, and vital sign assessments. Geometric mean trough plasma concentrations were 0·302 μg/mL (95% CI 0·237-0·385), 0·331 μg/mL (0·253-0·435), and 0·387 μg/mL (0·296-0·505) for injections one, two, and three, respectively, indicating lower than predicted exposure. The geometric mean apparent terminal phase half-life estimated after the third injection was 40 days. Two (2%) MSM acquired HIV-1 infection, one in the placebo group during the injection phase and one in the cabotegravir group 24 weeks after the final injection when cabotegravir exposure was well below the protein-binding-adjusted 90% inhibitory concentration. INTERPRETATION Despite high incidence of transient, mild-to-moderate injection-site reactions, long-acting cabotegravir was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that 800 mg administered every 12 weeks is a suboptimal regimen; alternative dosing strategies are being investigated. Our findings support further investigation of long-acting injectable cabotegravir as an alternative to orally administered pre-exposure prophylaxis regimens. FUNDING ViiV Healthcare.

Abstract
PURPOSE Increased fracture rates are observed in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) compared with the general population. Risk factors include age, diabetes, dialysis vintage, immunosuppression and mineral and bone disorders.1 Low serum phosphorus levels occur post-transplantation; however, its relationship with fracture risk has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors for fracture in RTRs at a single tertiary referral centre. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 146 patients (75 M, 71 F) who had been referred for dual energy X-ray densitometry (DXA) post-renal transplantation was performed. Aetiology of end stage kidney disease (ESKD), duration of dialysis, parathyroidectomy history, immunosuppression regimen, bone mineral density (BMD), biochemistry and fractures were documented. Statistical analyses included univariable and multivariable regression. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 54 years and mean time post-transplantation 6.7 years. A total of 79 fractures occurred in 52 patients (35%), with 40 fractures occurring post-transplantation. Ankle/foot fractures were most common (48%). Lower serum phosphorus levels and declining femoral neck (FN) T-score and were associated with fractures in both univariable and multivariable regression analyses after adjusting for age, gender, weight, estimated glomerular filtration rate and pre-transplant history of fracture (P=.011 and P=.042 respectively). The relationship between serum phosphorus and fracture remained significant independent of FN T-score, parathyroid hormone levels, parathyroidectomy status and prednisolone use. CONCLUSION Fracture was common post-renal transplantation. Lower serum phosphorus levels and declining FN T-scores were associated with fractures. The mechanism of this previously unreported observation requires further evaluation in prospective studies.

Abstract
Background Tenofovir (TDF) is one of the most widely used antiretroviral drug. Despite the high degree of tolerability a small percentage of patients experienced alteration in tubular function during TDF use. Intracellular TDF disposition is regulated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug efflux transporters and, a reduced transport activity may be implicated in accumulation of TDF into the cells. The aim of our study was to assess the major determinants of TDF associated tubular dysfunction (KTD) in a real-life setting including the usefulness of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping into ABCC2, ABCC4 and ABCC10 genes. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all HIV positive patients who were followed at the Infectious Diseases Unit, DIBIC Luigi Sacco, University of Milan from April 2013 to June 2016. All patients treated with TDF who underwent a genotypization for the functional variants mapping in ABCC2 rs717620 (−24 C > T), ABCC4 rs1751034 (3463 A > G) and ABCC10 rs2125739 (T > C) were evaluated. KTD was defined as the presence of urine phosphate wasting and/or proteinuria at 24 h urine analysis. Results One hundred fifty-eight patients were genotyped, of which 42 (26.6%) experienced signs of KTD. No statistical significant differences were observed among patients with or without KTD regarding age, gender, ethnicity and comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes). The percentage of patients with KTD was higher among those with “GG” genotype at rs1751034 of ABCC4 compared to patients without KTD [6 (14.3%) vs 4 (3.5%), p = 0.01]. No statistical significant differences were observed regarding the distribution of ABCC2 and ABCC10 SNPs. Carriers of “G” allele in homozygous status at rs1751034 of ABCC4 showed a significant association with KTD (Odds Ratio 4.67, 95% CI 1.25–17.46, p = 0.02) in bivariate analysis, but this association was lost in multivariable analysis. A significant association between bone diseases and KTD was observed (Odds Ratio 3.178, 95%CI 1.529–6.603, p = 0.002). Conclusions According to our results ABCC4 rs1751034 could be a genetic determinant of KTD; however validation studies are needed for therapy personalization. Noteworthy, a strong association between bone disease and KTD was also observed.

Association of Increased Urinary Albumin With Risk of Incident Clinical Fracture and Rate of Hip Bone Loss: the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study. J Bone Miner Res 2017; 32:1090-1099.

Abstract
Prior studies suggest that increased urine albumin is associated with a heightened fracture risk in women, but results in men are unclear. We used data from Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS), a prospective cohort study of community-dwelling men aged ≥65 years, to evaluate the association of increased urine albumin with subsequent fractures and annualized rate of hip bone loss. We calculated albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) from urine collected at the 2003-2005 visit. Subsequent clinical fractures were ascertained from triannual questionnaires and centrally adjudicated by review of radiographic reports. Total hip BMD was measured by DXA at the 2003-2005 visit and again an average of 3.5 years later. We estimated risk of incident clinical fracture using Cox proportional hazards models, and annualized BMD change using ANCOVA. Of 2982 men with calculable ACR, 9.4% had ACR ≥30 mg/g (albuminuria) and 1.0% had ACR ≥300 mg/g (macroalbuminuria). During a mean of 8.7 years of follow-up, 20.0% of men had an incident clinical fracture. In multivariate-adjusted models, neither higher ACR quintile (p for trend 0.75) nor albuminuria (HR versus no albuminuria, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.20) was associated with increased risk of incident clinical fracture. Increased urine albumin had a borderline significant, multivariate-adjusted, positive association with rate of total hip bone loss when modeled in ACR quintiles (p = 0.06), but not when modeled as albuminuria versus no albuminuria. Macroalbuminuria was associated with a higher rate of annualized hip bone loss compared to no albuminuria (-1.8% more annualized loss than in men with ACR <30 mg/g; p < 0.001), but the limited prevalence of macroalbuminuria precluded reliable estimates of its fracture associations. In these community-dwelling older men, we found no association between urine albumin levels and risk of incident clinical fracture, but found a borderline significant, positive association with rate of hip bone loss. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an established risk factor for low bone mineral density (BMD) and subsequent fracture, and treatment with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) leads to additional BMD loss, particularly in the first 1-2 years of therapy. The prevalence of low BMD and fragility fracture is expected to increase as the HIV-infected population ages with successful treatment with cART. Mechanisms of bone loss in the setting of HIV infection are likely multifactorial, and include viral, host, and immune effects, as well as direct and indirect effects of cART, particularly tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and the protease inhibitors (PIs). Emerging data indicate that BMD loss following cART initiation can be mitigated by prophylaxis with either long-acting bisphosphonates or vitamin D and calcium supplementation. In addition, newer antiretrovirals, particularly the integrase strand transfer inhibitors and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), are associated with less intense bone loss than PIs and TDF. However, further studies are needed to establish optimal bone sparing cART regimens, appropriate screening intervals, and preventive measures to address the rising prevalence of fragility bone disease in the HIV population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study aims to determine what factors are associated with increased risk of fracture among patients with HIV, in particular whether an important medication used to treat HIV, tenofovir, is associated with fracture. Our study found that while co-infection with hepatitis C and markers of HIV severity were associated with fracture, tenofovir was not. INTRODUCTION Growing evidence suggests that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate decreases bone density among patients with HIV, but there are conflicting reports as to whether this decrease in bone density translates to higher fracture risk. We aimed to determine what factors were associated with an increased risk of fracture for patients with HIV, in particular whether tenofovir is associated with elevated fracture risk. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study at two tertiary care hospitals in Boston, MA, between 2001 and 2012 to determine whether tenofovir use is associated with elevated all-site fracture risk, as compared to other antiretroviral medications. We also examined other potential factors associated with fracture among patients with HIV. RESULTS We identified 1981 HIV-infected patients who had at some point used tenofovir and 682 patients who had not. The mean age was 43 years, and 72 % were male. The hepatitis C co-infection rate was 28 %, about 40 % had nadir CD4 count <200, and about 40 % had a history of an AIDS-defining illness. We did not find an association between risk of fracture and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (adjusted RR (aRR) 0.8, 95 % CI 0.6-1.1). However, co-infection with hepatitis C did increase risk of fracture (aRR 1.6, 95 % CI 1.1-2.3), as did nadir CD4 count <200 (aRR 3.1, 95 % CI 1.9-5.0) and history of AIDS-defining illness (aRR 1.6, 95 % CI 1.1-2.2). CONCLUSION There was no association found between fracture and tenofovir use, but there were associations between co-infection with hepatitis C and markers of advanced HIV disease and fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the effect of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on bone metabolism and bone mass in HIV-infected adolescents. METHODS This was a sub-study of a cross-sectional multicentre bone health trial that enrolled perinatally HIV-infected Thai and Indonesian adolescents (10-18 years) with viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy. Participants were classified into two groups as TDF users and non-users. Bone metabolism-related markers (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OHD], intact parathyroid hormone [iPTH], bone turnover biomarkers), and lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were assessed. Bone mineral density (BMD)/bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) Z-scores were calculated. RESULTS Of 394 adolescents, 136 (34.5%) and 258 (65.5%) were TDF users and non-users, respectively. Among TDF users, median age (IQR) was 16.1 (14.7-17.4) years and TDF treatment duration (IQR) was 2.3 (1.4-3.1) years. Among TDF non-users, median age (IQR) was 14.3 (12.6-16.4) years. BMD and BMAD Z-scores comparing TDF users with non-users were -0.8 and -0.6 (P=0.27), and -0.3 and -0.2 (P=0.58), respectively. The association between TDF use and iPTH elevation was intensified in adolescents with suboptimal vitamin D levels (25-OHD <30 ng/ml; P=0.001). TDF administration was positively associated with bone resorption marker (P=0.04) and negatively associated with bone formation marker (P=0.04). With data up to 4 years, neither association between TDF use and bone mass loss (BMD: P=0.09; BMAD: P=0.22), nor variation of bone mass Z-scores by TDF treatment duration (BMD: P=0.34; BMAD: P=0.58) was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS Recent TDF administration was correlated with PTH elevation and bone turnover dysregulation but not with bone mass reduction in our cohort. A study with extended follow-up to ascertain TDF-associated bone mass deterioration is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION WHO recommends tenofovir, efavirenz, and lamivudine or emtricitabine for first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in adults, which replaced more toxic regimens using stavudine, zidovudine or nevirapine. Areas covered: We searched Pubmed to identify observational studies and randomized controlled trials reporting toxicity of these antiretrovirals published between 2011 and 2016, and hand-searched abstracts presented at major HIV conferences in 2015 and 2016, focusing on data from sub-Saharan Africa. Tenofovir's nephrotoxicity manifests as mild renal tubular dysfunction (common and of uncertain clinical significance), acute kidney injury (rare), and chronic declining glomerular filtration rate (common). African studies, which include high proportions of patients with renal dysfunction from opportunistic diseases, report population improvement in renal function after starting tenofovir-based ART. Tenofovir modestly decreases bone mineral density, and there is emerging data that this increases fracture risk. Efavirenz commonly causes early self-limiting neuropsychiatric toxicity and hypersensitivity rashes. Recent studies have highlighted its long-term neuropsychiatric effects, notably suicidality and neurocognitive impairment, and metabolic toxicities (dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, and lipoatrophy). We point out the challenges clinicians face in the recognition and attribution of adverse drug reactions. Expert commentary: Tenofovir and efavirenz are generally well tolerated, but both are associated with potentially serious toxicities. Pharmacovigilance systems in resource-limited settings with high HIV burden should be strengthened.
