Effectiveness of integrase strand transfer inhibitors among treatment-naive people living with HIV/AIDS in Guangdong, China: A real-world, retrospective cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38497. [PMID: 38847660 PMCID: PMC11155602 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) in anti-retroviral therapy (ART) have been recommended by the World Health Organization for their higher efficacy, favorable safety and tolerability. However, the clinical evidence supporting switching to INSTI-containing regimens in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited, as few patients have access to these regimens. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of INSTI-containing regimens in real-world settings in China compared to government-provided free ART. We compared the short-term (first 4 mo following ART initiation) and long-term (1 year after ART initiation) effectiveness between INSTI-containing regimens and free ART drugs provided by the Chinese government in 4 dimensions: viral suppression status, immune response, liver and kidney function, and AIDS-related diseases. We obtained data from electronic medical records in the National Infectious Disease Surveillance System. To control baseline confounders, we used propensity score matching (PSM), calculated using logistic regression including socio-demographic and baseline factors. Among 12,836 patients from 2012 to 2019, 673 (5.2%) used INSTI-containing regimens. Patients with INSTI-containing regimens were matched to those with free drugs (644 vs 644). For short-term effectiveness, patients initiating INSTI-containing regimens were more likely to achieve viral suppression (81.4% vs 52.0%; P < .001). The differences in immune response, liver and kidney function and AIDS-related diseases were not significant between the 2 groups. For long-term effectiveness, viral suppression rates were similar (87.96% vs 84.59%; P = .135), with no significant differences in immune response, liver and kidney function, or AIDS-related diseases. Our study suggests that patients initiating ART with INSTI-containing regimens have worse physical status at baseline than patients starting with free ART drugs. Furthermore, we found better virological performances of INSTI-containing regimens in the short-term but not in the long-term due to a high rate of drug changes. Our findings have clinical implications and provide new evidence regarding the effectiveness of INSTI-containing regimens in LMICs.

[PMID: 36078925 PMCID: PMC9457350 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11174994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the proportion of patients with HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL at 48 weeks. Design: Phase IV, multicentric, open-label, single-arm clinical trial of participants recruited in 2018−2019 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/elvitegravir-cobicistat (TAF/FTC/EVG-c) as first-line treatment in HIV-1 infected naïve participants with advanced disease. Methods: Adverse events were graded according to the Division of AIDS scale version 2.0. Quantitative variables were recorded as median and interquartile range, and qualitative variables as absolute number and percentage. T-Student or Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze intragroup differences of the continuous variables. Results: Fifty participants were recruited with a baseline median CD4 lymphocyte count of 116 cells/µL and a viral load of 218,938 copies/mL. The proportion of patients with viral load <50 copies/mL at week 48 was 94% in the per-protocol analysis, with a median time of 1.9 months to achieve it. Three adverse events attributed to the study drug caused trial discontinuation. Conclusions: the use of TAF/FTC/EVG-c in patients with advanced HIV disease in our study demonstrated efficacy comparable to data from pivotal clinical trials with a good safety profile.

Higher Risk of Mortality and Virologic Failure in HIV-Infected Patients With High Viral Load at Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation: An Observational Cohort Study in Chongqing, China. Front Public Health 2022; 10:800839.

Abstract
Background Viral load (VL) is a strong predictor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high baseline VL on antiretroviral therapy (ART) outcomes among HIV-infected patients. Methods This retrospective study observed HIV-infected patients who had baseline VL test at ART initiation between 2015 and 2019 in Chongqing, China. Cox proportional hazards regression and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the effects of baseline VL on Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related mortality and virologic failure, respectively. Results The cohort included 7,176 HIV-infected patients, of whom 38.7% had a baseline VL ≥ 100,000 copies/mL. Of the patients who died during follow-up, 58.9% had a baseline VL ≥ 100,000 copies/mL. Compared with a baseline VL < 10,000 copies/mL, ART initiation at VL ≥ 100,000 copies/mL was significantly associated with the AIDS-related death (adjusted hazard ratio, AHR = 1.4) and virologic failure (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 2.4). Compared with patients with a baseline VL < 10,000 copies/mL, patients on the recommended first-line regimen with a VL ≥ 100,000 copies/mL at ART initiaition had higher mortality rate (5.1 vs. 1.7 per 100 person-years), but there was no significant difference in the mortality accoding to the initial VL level among patients on second-line ART (2.8 vs. 2.7 per 100 person-years). ART initiation ≤ 30 days after HIV diagnosis was associated with a lower risk of AIDS-related death (AHR = 0.6). Conclusions ART initiation with VL ≥ 100,000 copies/mL was associated with a significantly greater risk of mortality and virologic failure. Optimizing the ART regimen and initiating ART early may help to reduce mortality effectively among patients with a high baseline VL. VL testing for all HIV patients is recommended at HIV diagnosis or on ART initiation.

Durability of rilpivirine-based versus integrase inhibitor-based regimens in a large cohort of naïve HIV-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2021; 58:106406. [PMID: 34293454 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2021.106406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Comparisons between rilpivirine (RPV) and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve HIV-infected individuals are currently lacking. This study aimed to compare, in an observational cohort setting, the durability of treatment with RPV-based and INSTI-based first-line regimens. METHODS Patients who started first-line ARTs based on RPV or INSTIs, with HIV-RNA < 100 000 copies/mL and CD4 cell count > 200 cells/μL were included. The primary endpoint was the cumulative probability of treatment failure (TF = virological failure [confirmed HIV-RNA > 50 copies/mL] or discontinuation of the anchor drug in the regimen), as assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. A multivariable Cox regression was used to control for potential confounding. RESULTS Of the 1991 included patients, 986 started ART with an RPV-based regimen and 1005 with an INSTIs-based regimen. The median (IQR) follow-up was 20 (10, 35) months. The cumulative 2-year probability of TF with RPV (9.1% [95% 7.2, 11.1]) was lower than that observed in the INSTIs group (16.6% [13.8, 19.4], P = 0.0002) but not when compared with dolutegravir (DTG) alone. Starting ART with an INSTIs-based regimen vs. RPV was associated with a higher risk of TF after controlling for potential confounding factors (adjusted hazard ratio, AHR [95% CI]: 1.64 [1.28, 2.10]; P < 0.001). The results were similar when restricting the analysis to single-tablet regimens, although the probability of virological success was higher for INSTIs and DTG. CONCLUSIONS In ART-naïve patients with low viral loads and high CD4 counts, the risk of treatment failure was lower in those who started RPV-based vs. INSTIs-based regimens other than DTG-based ones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND INSTIs have become a pillar of first-line ART. Real-world data are needed to assess their effectiveness in routine care. OBJECTIVES We analysed ART-naive patients who started INSTI-based regimens in 2012-19 whose data were collected by INTEGRATE, a European collaborative study including seven national cohorts. METHODS Kaplan-Meier analyses assessed time to virological failure (VF), defined as one viral load (VL) ≥1000 copies/mL, two consecutive VLs ≥50 copies/mL, or one VL ≥50 copies/mL followed by treatment change after ≥24 weeks of follow-up, and time to INSTIs discontinuation (INSTI-DC) for any reason. Factors associated with VF and INSTI-DC were explored by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of 2976 regimens started, 1901 (63.9%) contained dolutegravir, 631 (21.2%) elvitegravir and 444 (14.9%) raltegravir. The 1 year estimated probabilities of VF and INSTI-DC were 5.6% (95% CI 4.5-6.7) and 16.2% (95% CI 14.9-17.6), respectively, and were higher for raltegravir versus both elvitegravir and dolutegravir. A baseline VL ≥100 000 copies/mL [adjusted HR (aHR) 2.17, 95% CI 1.55-3.04, P < 0.001] increased the risk of VF, while a pre-treatment CD4 count ≥200 cells/mm3 reduced the risk (aHR 0.52, 95% CI 0.37-0.74, P < 0.001). Predictors of INSTI-DC included use of raltegravir versus dolutegravir (aHR 3.03, 95% CI 2.34-3.92, P < 0.001), use of >3 drugs versus 3 drugs (aHR 2.73, 95% CI 1.55-4.79, P < 0.001) and starting ART following availability of dolutegravir (aHR 0.64, 95% CI 0.48-0.83, P = 0.001). Major INSTI mutations indicative of transmitted drug resistance occurred in 2/1114 (0.2%) individuals. CONCLUSIONS This large multi-cohort study indicates high effectiveness of elvitegravir- or dolutegravir-based first-line ART in routine practice across Europe.

Reasons for Choice of Antiretroviral Regimens in HIV Patients Presenting Late for Initial Treatment in Europe. AIDS Patient Care STDS 2021; 35:110-115. [PMID: 33835853 DOI: 10.1089/apc.2021.0011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The choice of an optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) in naive patients presenting late for initial therapy with advanced HIV infection, that is, with a CD4 cell count <200/μL and/or an AIDS-defining disease (late presenters, LPs), is still a challenge, even for HIV specialists. At present, there is little information on the decision process and selection criteria that physicians must take into account when choosing the presumably optimal initial ART for LPs. This study analyzes reasons for the individual choice of first-line ART in HIV LPs. We conducted a prospective multi-center study to analyze the decision-making process of physicians treating naive HIV patients presenting with a CD4 cell count <200/μL and/or an AIDS-defining condition. Two European HIV treatment centers based in Frankfurt (Germany) and A Coruna (Spain) participated in the study. Physicians documented the reasons that led to their decision for a specific first-line ART regimen. A questionnaire was designed for the study. Decisions of the participating physicians were evaluated. A total of 52 treatment decisions were analyzed. Evaluation of the choice of antiretroviral treatment demonstrated that for the overall group of physicians, simplicity of the regimen was the most important selection criterion in 34.6% of cases. The presence of comorbidities was given as the decisive selection criterion in 26.9%, followed by experience with the chosen drugs in 21.2% of cases. In the group of physicians choosing an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimen for first-line ART, the same selection criteria were identified as in the overall group; 33.3% of clinicians selected an INSTI-based regimen because of its simplicity. The presence of comorbidities was the second most frequent decisive criterion (31.0%), followed by personal experience with the prescribed ART (23.8%). In the protease inhibitor group, simplicity was also the most common selection criterion with 40%. Results of clinical trials were stated as the most important criterion for the selection of ART in 38% of all cases, followed by the expected adherence of the patient (22%). Among the physicians who used a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based regimen, patients' desire to have children was the most frequent criterion for selection of ART (60%). An ongoing pregnancy was the second most frequent selection criterion, followed by ART's simplicity (8%). For patients treated with a single-tablet regimen, simplicity of ART was comprehensibly the most important decisive criterion (54.5%). Experience with the chosen drugs was the decisive selection criterion in 24.2%, followed by comorbidities in 18.2% of cases. Physicians' selection of individual ART in patients presenting late for first-line treatment seems to be predominantly dependent on patient-centered factors such as adherence issues as well as the clinical experience of physicians with the prescribed drugs.

Abstract
Objectives To compare virologic and immunologic outcomes of integrase inhibitor (INSTI)-containing, contemporary boosted protease inhibitor (PI/b)-containing and non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-containing regimens in a real-life setting. Methods Using logistic regression, virologic and immunologic outcomes of INSTI use were compared to outcomes of PI/b or NNRTI treatment 12 months after treatment start or switch, for participants in the RESPOND cohort consortium. A composite treatment outcome (cTO) was used, defining success as viral load (VL) <200 copies/mL and failure as at least one of: VL ≥200 copies/mL, unknown VL in the time window, any changes of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen, AIDS, or death. In addition, on-treatment analysis including only individuals with known VL and no regimen changes was performed. Favorable immunologic response was defined as a 25% increase in CD4 count or as reaching ≥750 CD4 cells/μL. Results Between January 2012 and January 2019, 13,703 (33.0% ART-naïve) individuals were included, of whom 7,147 started/switched to a regimen with an INSTI, 3,102 to a PI/b and 3,454 to an NNRTI-containing regimen. The main reason for cTO failure in all treatment groups were changes in ART regimen. Compared to INSTIs, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of cTO success was significantly lower for PI/b (0.74 [95% confidence interval, CI 0.67–0.82], p <0.001), but similar for NNRTIs (1.07 [CI 0.97–1.17], p = 0.11). On-treatment analysis and sensitivity analyses using a VL cut-off of 50 copies/mL were consistent. Compared to INSTIs, the aORs of a 25% increase in CD4 count were lower for NNRTIs (0.80 [CI 0.71–0.91], p<0.001) and PI/b (0.87 [CI 0.76–0.99], p = 0.04). Conclusion In this large analysis of a real-world population, cTO and on-treatment success were similar between INSTIs and NNRTIs, but lower for PI/b, though residual confounding cannot be fully excluded. Obtaining favorable immunologic outcomes were more likely for INSTIs than the other drug classes.
