Abstract
Background Lamivudine + dolutegravir maintenance dual therapy (DT) could be less effective than 3-drug therapy (TT) in the context of resistance-associated mutations to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The ARCA database was queried to test this hypothesis with a trial emulation strategy. Methods People with HIV taking 2 NRTIs plus a protease inhibitor or a non-NRTI who switched to DT or dolutegravir-based TT were followed up from the first HIV RNA <50 copies/mL (baseline) to virologic failure (VF; ie, 2 consecutive HIV RNA ≥50 copies/mL or 1 HIV RNA ≥200 copies/mL). Those switching to DT within 6 months were assigned to the treatment arm and all other patients to the control arm. Each participant was also cloned, assigned to the opposite strategy, and censored at the time of deviation from that strategy. Using inverse probability of censoring weight Cox regression models, we calculated hazard ratios of VF for DT vs TT stratified for the presence of resistance-associated mutations. Results Overall 626 people were analyzed: 204 with DT and 422 with TT (73% men; mean age, 44 years). Ten and 31 VFs occurred with DT and TT, respectively, over a median 5.8 years. When compared with a fully active TT, the DT had similar efficacy (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, .29-2.61; P = .812) when full susceptibility was confirmed at historical genotype. When previous M184V/I was present in both groups, the risk of VF was higher for DT vs TT but was not statistically significant (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.06; 95% CI, .45-20.84; P = .252). Conclusions DT was not associated with a significantly higher risk of VF than dolutegravir-based TT.

Abstract
Purpose The study aimed to explore the reasons, efficacy, and safety of switching to dolutegravir (DTG) based regimens in virologically suppressed people living with HIV (PLWH) in tertiary hospitals in China. Therefore, the study could provide a valuable reference for the rational clinical use of DTG. Methods PLWH's basic information, treatment details, and reasons for switching were collected, through the electrical clinical medical record system and telephone follow-up. Data included the proportion of PLWH with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL, changes in immunological indicators, and metabolic metrics at week 48 and week 96. Results 319 PLWH were included in the analysis. The three major reasons for switching were neurological toxicity (16.30%), simplification (13.79%), and renal toxicity (11.29%). Our study showed high rates of virologic suppression in the per-protocol analysis (week 48: 99.69%; week 96: 99.29%) after switching to DTG-based regimens. The median CD4+ T cell count increased from 579 cells/μL (IQR 420.5-758) to 642 cells/μL (IQR 466.5-854) at week 96 (p<0.0001). An improvement was observed in liver function (ALT: p<0.0001; AST: p<0.0001) and fasting glucose (p<0.0001). However, there was an elevation in creatinine (Cr) (p<0.0001) and a slight decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p<0.0001). Regarding lipid profile, triglyceride (TG) levels declined, while total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels increased. Further analysis revealed that the increase in TC and LDL-C was associated with the withdrawal of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). This observed increase in lipid parameters only concerned the PLWH who switched from a TDF-containing regimen to a non-TDF regimen. Conclusion This study confirmed the virologic efficacy of switching to DTG-based regimens in virologically suppressed PLWH over a 96-week period. The findings also expanded the evidence of immune reconstitution and metabolic safety associated with this switch.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data on switching to bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in virologically suppressed Asian people living with HIV are limited. We performed a pooled analysis of virologically suppressed Asian participants from three international phase III trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching to B/F/TAF. METHODS Virologically suppressed people living with HIV were randomized to switch to B/F/TAF or to stay on baseline regimens. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/ml at week 48. We analysed the incidence of adverse events (AEs), laboratory abnormalities, and changes in relevant tolerability parameters through 48 weeks. RESULTS Overall, 136 Asian participants were included. The proportions of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/ml at week 48 were low in both arms (0% for B/F/TAF vs 1.4% for those who stayed on baseline regimens). Those who switched to B/F/TAF had virological suppression rates similar to those who stayed on baseline regimens (100% vs 95.9%, p = 0.2485), with no treatment-emergent resistance. Drug-related AEs occurred in three participants in each arm; none were serious. No participants discontinued the study drug because of AEs, and no deaths were observed. No significant differences were observed between the arms in the median changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate, body weight, and most lipid parameters. Switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing regimens to B/F/TAF resulted in a significant decrease in tubular proteinuria compared with those who stayed on baseline regimens (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Virologically suppressed Asian people living with HIV who switched to B/F/TAF maintained 100% virological suppression at week 48, with no treatment-emergent drug resistance and safety profiles comparable to those seen in people who stayed on baseline regimens. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02603120, NCT02652624, and NCT02603107).

Abstract
In an era when most individuals with treated HIV infection can expect to live into old age, clinicians should proactively review their patients' current and future treatment needs and challenges. Clinical guidelines acknowledge that, in the setting of virological suppression, treatment switch may yield benefits in terms of tolerability, regimen simplification, adherence, convenience and long-term health considerations, particularly in the context of ageing. In this paper, we review evidence from six key clinical studies on switching virologically suppressed patients to regimens based on integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), the antiretroviral class increasingly preferred as initial therapy in clinical guidelines. We review these studies and focus on the virological efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching to INSTI-based regimens in suppressed HIV-positive individuals. We review the early switch studies SWITCHMRK and SPIRAL [assessing a switch from a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI/r) to raltegravir (RAL)-containing regimens], together with data from STRATEGY-PI [assessing a switch to elvitegravir (EVG)-containing regimens; EVG/cobicistat (COBI)/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs. remaining on a PI/r-containing regimen], STRATEGY-NNRTI [assessing a switch to EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF vs. continuation of a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)], STRIIVING [assessing a switch to a dolutegravir (DTG)-containing regimen (abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC)/DTG) vs. staying on the background regimen], and GS study 109 [assessing a switch to EVG/COBI/FTC/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) vs. continuation of FTC/TDF-based regimens]. Switching to INSTI-containing regimens has been shown to support good virological efficacy, with evidence from two studies demonstrating superior virological efficacy for a switch to EVG-containing regimens. In addition, switching to INSTI regimens was associated with improved tolerability and greater reported patient satisfaction and outcomes in some studies. INSTI-based regimens offer an important contemporary switch option that may be tailored to meet and optimize the needs of many patients.

Abstract
We evaluated associations between levels of BDG and other biomarkers of inflammation in blood from 41 virologically suppressed persons with chronic HIV-infection. We found a significant correlation between BDG and neopterin levels (r=0.68), and trends to significance for correlations with other inflammation markers (tumor-necrosis-factor-α: r=0.30; interleukin-8: r=0.30; interleukin-6: r=0.28). In conclusion, BDG levels correlated with inflammation markers in a cohort of virologically suppressed individuals with chronic HIV infection. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether BDG may be a marker for morbidity in chronic HIV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir has been associated with a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). However, data on changes in BMD after discontinuing tenofovir are lacking. METHODS We performed a two-centre randomized pilot study in virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients receiving tenofovir with osteopenia/osteoporosis (OsteoTDF study, ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT 01153217). Fifty-four patients were randomly assigned to switch from tenofovir to abacavir (n = 26) or to continue with tenofovir (n = 28). Changes in lumbar and total hip BMD were evaluated at Week 48 from baseline. RESULTS Five patients discontinued the study (three from the tenofovir group and two from the abacavir group). No significant differences were detected between the groups at Week 48 (P = 0.229 for total hip and P = 0.312 for lumbar spine). However, hip BMD improved by 2.1% (95% CI -0.6 to 4.7) (P = 0.043) in the abacavir group and 0.7% (95% CI -0.9 to 2.4) (P = 0.372) in the tenofovir group. Lumbar spine BMD varied by -0.7% (95% CI -3.8 to 3.3) (P ≤ 0.001) in the abacavir group and -1.2% (95% CI -3.8 to 0.4) (P < 0.001) in the tenofovir group. CONCLUSIONS Switching from tenofovir to abacavir led to a slight improvement in femoral BMD although no differences were detected between groups. Larger studies are necessary before firm recommendations can be made on the discontinuation of tenofovir in patients with a low BMD.
