J Chemother 2024; 36:355-369. [PMID: 38153234 DOI: 10.1080/1120009x.2023.2297095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
Fixed-Dose antiretroviral Combinations (FDCs) are the most used drug regimes in adult patients with human-immunodeficiency virus 1 infection, since they increase adherence to antiretroviral therapy and enable good quality of life. The European AIDS Clinical Society guidelines recommend the use of FDCs in paediatrics. However, the use of FDCs in paediatric population is restricted since studies in children and adolescents are mostly conducted in small sample sizes and are heterogeneous in settings and design. This systematic review aims to summarize the current knowledge about the use of FDCs in paediatric population, highlighting the relevant outcomes regarding efficacy and effectiveness, adherence, safety, and adverse events of these regimens.

Impact of pre-existent drug resistance on virological efficacy of single tablet regimens in people living with HIV. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2022; 60:106636. [PMID: 35820534 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2022.106636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Despite the broad use of single tablet regimens (STRs), few real-life data are available regarding the impact of pre-existent drug resistance on virological failure (VF). Through this study we aimed to fill this gap, by analyzing a large cohort of individuals selected from the ARCA database. The impact on VF of pre-existent resistance associated mutations (RAMs) and cumulative genotypic susceptibility score (cGSS) before STR start was evaluated through survival analysis. Potential emergence of resistance at VF was also evaluated. Overall, 3916 individuals were included: 678 treatment-naïve (G1), 2309 treatment-experienced aviremic (G2), and 929 viremic (G3); 65.2% of them was treated with an STR based on efavirenz (35.2%) or rilpivirine (30%). At two years after starting STR, the overall probability of VF was 5.9% in G1, 8.7% in G2, and 20.8% in G3. No impact of pre-existent resistance on VF was found in G1. The probability of VF was higher in patients with cGSS<3 (reduced susceptibility to at least one drug) than in those with cGSS=3 (full susceptibility to STR drugs) in both G2 and G3. A higher probability of VF was also found in presence of pre-existent M184V (alone or in combination with pre-existent thymidine analogue mutations). Among patients who failed STR, a significant emergence of RAMs was found only in those exposed to EFV/FTC/TDF in G3 (specifically K103N and M184V). Our results confirm a high efficacy of STRs in clinical settings. Pre-existent resistance seems to influence virological efficacy of STR in treatment-experienced individuals (both aviremic and viremic).

Abstract
Objectives:This study aimed at assessing adherence, effectiveness, and safety of DTG-based HAART regimens among HIV-infected children and adolescents in Tanzania. Methods: This was a single-center prospective cohort study, conducted at the pediatric HIV Clinic in Mbeya, Tanzania. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine predictors of undetectable viral load at week 24. The results were significant when P-value was <0.05. Results: A total of 200 patients were enrolled with the majority (85.5%) being treatment experienced. High adherence levels (71%) were observed using the pharmacy refill method. At week 24, the overall proportion of patients with undetectable viral load was 70.2%. The predictors of undetectable viral load were age, World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stage, baseline VL and adherence to pharmacy refill. Conclusion: The majority of patients attained undetectable viral load 6 months after using DTG based regimen. DTG-based regimens were generally safe with few ADEs reported.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neuropsychiatric adverse effects (NPAE) associated with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are a growing concern, with higher rates in the real-world compared to phase III trials. This paper reviews the incidence, risk factors, and management of NPAE with second-generation INSTIs, INSTI/rilpivirine dual therapy, and doravirine. RECENT FINDINGS Recent cohort data confirm up to 8% NPAE-associated discontinuations for dolutegravir; NPAE with dolutegravir/rilpivirine therapy are higher than with dolutegravir alone, whereas bictegravir appears similar to dolutegravir. In contrast, NPAE with cabotegravir alone or with rilpivirine appears to be low. Doravirine has NPAE rates similar to rilpivirine and lower than efavirenz. Risk factors for NPAE include female gender, concurrent abacavir use, Sub-Saharan African descent, and age, whereas underlying psychiatric conditions do not appear to increase risk. Strategies to manage NPAE include changing administration time, therapeutic drug monitoring, or regimen modification including within-class INSTI changes. People experiencing NPAE with dolutegravir may tolerate bictegravir. SUMMARY Overall, mild to moderate NPAE are associated with INSTIs and newer NNRTIs. Rarely, more severe symptoms may occur and lead to treatment discontinuation. Clinicians should be aware of NPAE to identify and manage drug-related adverse effects.

Efficacy and durability of two- vs. three-drug integrase inhibitor-based regimens in virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients: Data from real-life ODOACRE cohort. HIV Med 2021; 22:843-853. [PMID: 34318591 DOI: 10.1111/hiv.13146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy and durability of treatment switch to two-drug (2DR) vs. three-drug (3DR) integrase inhibitor (InSTI)-based regimens in a real-life setting. METHODS Within the ODOACRE cohort, we selected adult patients with HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL switching to an InSTI-based 2DR or 3DR. Survival analyses were performed to estimate the probability of virological failure (VF, defined as one HIV RNA > 1000 copies/mL or two consecutive HIV RNA > 50 copies/mL) and treatment discontinuation (TD, defined as any modification, intensification or interruption of the regimen), and to evaluate their predictors. RESULTS Overall, 1666 patients were included, of whom 1334 (80%) were treated with a 3DR (19.9%, 25.0% and 55.1% elvitegravir-, raltegravir- and dolutegravir-based, respectively) and 332 (20%) with a 2DR (79.2% dolutegravir + lamivudine and 20.8% dolutegravir + rilpivirine). Over a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 100 (52-150) weeks, 52 (3.1%) patients experienced VF with an incidence of 1.5/100 person-year of follow-up (PYFU). The estimated 96-week probability of VF was similar for the 2DR and 3DR groups (2.3% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.53), but it was higher for elvitegravir (4.9%) and raltegravir (5.0%) than for dolutegravir (1.5%) (P = 0.04). Four hundred (24%) patients discontinued their InSTI-based regimen, with an incidence of 11.3/100 PYFU. At 96 weeks, 3DRs showed a higher probability of TD for any reason (20.6% vs. 11.2%, P < 0.001) and TD for toxicity (9.0% vs. 6.6%, P = 0.02) when compared with 2DRs. A higher risk of TD for central nervous system toxicity was observed for dolutegravir than for elvitegravir and raltegravir (4.0% vs. 2.5% vs. 0.6%, P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS In virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients, 2DRs showed an efficacy similar to 3DRs but with better tolerability.
