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.

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the antiviral efficacy, safety and adherence in patients switched to an abacavir‐containing nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimen after long‐term HIV‐1 RNA suppression with a dual NRTI/protease inhibitor (PI) combination.

METHODS:

In an open‐label, multicentre study, patients receiving 2NRTI plus PI for at least 6 months, with a history of undetectable plasma HIV‐1 RNA since the initiation of therapy and plasma HIV‐1 RNA < 50 copies/ml at screening, were randomly assigned to replace the PI with abacavir (n = 105) or continue the same treatment (n = 106). Clinical assessments included plasma HIV‐1 RNA, chemistry, haematology, lymphocyte counts, and adverse event reports. Adherence to treatment was assessed by patient self‐report.

RESULTS:

A significantly longer time to treatment failure was demonstrated in the abacavir arm compared with the PI arm (P = 0.03) while treatment failure was experienced by significantly more patients in the PI arm: 24 (23%) versus 12 (12%) (P = 0.03). Therapy‐limiting toxicity led to treatment failure in eight versus 14 cases in the abacavir and PI arms, respectively, whereas virological rebound was the cause in four versus two cases. Significant reductions in cholesterol and non‐fasting triglyceride plasma levels at 48 weeks were observed in the abacavir arm (P < 0.001 andP = 0.035, respectively). The number of patients reporting no difficulty in taking their therapy showed a marked increase from baseline in the abacavir arm.

CONCLUSION:

The replacement of PI by abacavir in a triple combination regimen following prolonged suppression of plasma HIV‐1 RNA provides continued virological suppression, significant improvements in lipid abnormalities and enhanced ease of dosing.

To assess the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of amprenavir (APV) plus abacavir (ABC) in patients who have previously failed antiretroviral treatment containing a protease inhibitor (PI). To provide open-label, pre-approval access to APV for adults and adolescents with HIV-1 infection and limited treatment options.

This study is being conducted to provide open-label APV to patients in danger of HIV disease progression, as well as those who may benefit beyond the expected outcomes of current anti-retroviral therapies. Despite unapproved status, APV may prove highly efficacious in combatting HIV progression and may help those in need, prior to regulatory approval.

Enfuvirtide is a novel antiretroviral that blocks HIV-1 cell fusion and viral entry. This Phase II, controlled, open-label, randomized, multicentre dose-ranging trial explored the safety, antiviral activity and pharmacokinetics of enfuvirtide, administered by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection, in 71 HIV-1-infected, protease inhibitor-experienced, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-naive adults for 48 weeks. Study participants were randomized to receive enfuvirtide at a deliverable dose of 45, 67.5 or 90 mg twice daily; the 45 mg twice daily dose required 2 injections/day, while the higher doses required 4 injections/day. A background oral antiretroviral (ARV) regimen of abacavir (300 mg twice daily), amprenavir (1200 mg twice daily), ritonavir (200 mg twice daily) and efavirenz (600 mg once daily) was provided with enfuvirtide. A control group received the background ARV regimen alone. All potential participants underwent an HIV genotype at screen to ensure a homogenous population and to exclude patients with evidence of genotypic resistance to NNRTIs. Overall, the tolerability of the combination of abacavir, amprenavir, ritonavir, efavirenz and enfuvirtide was generally comparable to control through 48 weeks. No enfuvirtide dose-dependent adverse events (AEs) were observed across treatment groups. Injection site reactions (ISRs) occurred at least once in 68.5% of the enfuvirtide-treated population, and most ISRs were mild to moderate in severity, with no apparent dose relationship. Excluding ISRs, the most common treatment-emergent AEs were nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness and fatigue; with no clinically significant differences in the incidence of AEs observed between the control and enfuvirtide groups. Each treatment group benefited from ARV therapy, with a trend of increasing antiviral and immunological activity associated with increasing enfuvirtide dose. At 48 weeks, the median HIV-1 RNA change from baseline for the ITT population was -2.24 log10 copies/ml for the combined enfuvirtide groups compared with -1.87 log10 copies/ml for the control group. In addition, 54.9% of patients in the enfuvirtide group achieved HIV-1 RNA < or = 400 copies/ml versus 36.8% of patients in the control group. These results indicate that enfuvirtide has a favourable safety profile and is a promising new antiviral agent for HIV-infected patients who have been on previously failing ARV regimens.

BACKGROUND:

Abacavir and tenofovir alafenamide offer reduced bone toxicity compared with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. We aimed to compare safety and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine with that of abacavir plus lamivudine.

METHODS:

In this randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, non-inferiority phase 3 trial, HIV-1-positive adults (≥18 years) were screened at 79 sites in 11 countries in North America and Europe. Eligible participants were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per mL) and on a stable three-drug regimen containing abacavir plus lamivudine. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) by a computer-generated allocation sequence (block size 4) to switch to fixed-dose tablets of tenofovir alafenamide (10 mg or 25 mg) plus emtricitabine (200 mg) or remain on abacavir (600 mg) plus lamivudine (300 mg), with matching placebo, while continuing to take the third drug. Randomisation was stratified by the third drug (boosted protease inhibitor vs other drug) at screening. Investigators, participants, and study staff giving treatment, assessing outcomes, and collecting data were masked to treatment group. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with virological suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per mL) at week 48 (assessed by snapshot algorithm), with a 10% non-inferiority margin. We analysed the primary endpoint in participants enrolled before May 23, 2016 (when target sample size was reached), and we analysed safety in all enrolled participants who received at least one dose of study drug (including patients enrolled after these dates). This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02469246.

FINDINGS:

Study enrolment began on June 29, 2015, and the cutoff enrolment date for the week 48 primary endpoint analysis was May 23, 2016. 501 participants were randomly assigned and treated. At week 48, virological suppression was maintained in 227 (90%) of 253 participants receiving tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine compared with 230 (93%) of 248 receiving abacavir plus lamivudine (difference -3·0%, 95% CI -8·2 to 2·0), showing non-inferiority. Few participants discontinued treatment because of adverse events: 12 (4%) of 280 participants in the tenofovir alafenimide plus emtricitabine group and nine (3%) of 276 in the abacavir plus lamivudine group. Three participants had serious, treatment-related adverse events: one each with renal colic and neutropenia in the tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine group, and one myocardial infarction in the abacavir plus lamivudine group. There were no treatment-related deaths.

INTERPRETATION:

Tenofovir alafenamide, in combination with emtricitabine and various third drugs, maintained high efficacy with a renal and bone safety profile similar to that of abacavir. In virologically suppressed patients, a regimen containing tenofovir alafenamide could be an alternative to those containing abacavir, without concern for new onset of renal or bone toxicities or hyperlipidaemia.

OBJECTIVES:

To compare the response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV co-infected patients receiving a nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor [N(t)RTI] backbone consisting of abacavir plus lamivudine with that observed in subjects who receive tenofovir plus lamivudine or emtricitabine.

METHODS:

A total of 256 subjects, enrolled in a cohort of 948 HIV-infected patients who received pegylated interferon and ribavirin from October 2001 to January 2006, were included in this study. All patients were taking one protease inhibitor or one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and abacavir plus lamivudine or tenofovir plus lamivudine or emtricitabine as N(t)RTI backbone during HCV therapy. Sustained virological response (SVR) rates in both backbone groups were compared.

RESULTS:

In an intention-to-treat analysis, 20 out of 70 (29%) individuals under abacavir and 83 out of 186 (45%) under tenofovir showed SVR (P = 0.02). N(t)RTI backbone containing tenofovir was an independent predictor of SVR in the multivariate analysis [adjusted odds ratio (95% CI), 2.6 (1.05-6.9); P = 0.03]. The association between abacavir use and lower SVR was chiefly seen in patients with plasma HCV-RNA load higher than 600 000 IU/mL and genotype 1 or 4. Among patients treated with ribavirin dose <13.2 mg/kg/day, 3 (20%) of those under abacavir versus 22 (52%) under tenofovir reached SVR (P = 0.03), whereas the rates were 31% and 38% (P = 0.4), respectively, in those receiving >/=13.2 mg/kg/day.

CONCLUSIONS:

HIV-infected patients who receive abacavir plus lamivudine respond worse to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin than those who are given tenofovir plus lamivudine or emtricitabine as N(t)RTI backbone, especially in those receiving lower ribavirin doses.

INTRODUCTION:

The current World Health Organization guideline for first line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV-infected children recommends the use of abacavir and lamivudine as nucleoside backbones and no longer includes stavudine. We compared treatment outcomes with abacavir (ABC) versus stavudine (d4T) in a cohort of HIV-1 infected children 6 and 12 months after antiretroviral therapy was initiated.

METHODS:

This was a retrospective case-cohort study, using programmatic data from children enrolled in the Paediatric Wellness Programme at the Perinatal HIV Research Unit in Soweto, South Africa between 2005 and 2013. Children on abacavir/stavudine who had initiated ART at age <3 years with a regimen including lamivudine and lopinavir/ritonavir and had at least one 6 or 12 month viral load result were eligible. All ABC cases identified were matched for age at ART initiation and gender to eligible d4T controls (1:2). Outcomes analysed at 6 and 12 months post ART initiation included virological failure, mortality, immunological failure and anthropometry. Chi-square tests compared categorical measures while Kruskal-Wallis compared continuous measures.

RESULTS:

We identified 57 eligible ABC cases and selected 114 matched d4T controls. Overall, 57% were females and 89% started treatment at age <1year. The median age at ART initiation was 3.11 (

IQR:

1.98-6.05) months. There was no difference in the proportion of children virologically suppressed between the groups at 6 (ABC 54.5% vs. d4T 67.0%, p = 0.125) and 12 (ABC 66.7% vs. d4T 71.6%, p = 0.53) months post ART-initiation. The proportion of children with adherence levels >90% for ABC and d4T were similar too (95% in ABC vs. 86% in d4T, p = 0.10). The proportion of children who died over 12 months was 3.5% in the ABC and 7.9% in the d4T group (p = 0.27). Similarly, the anthropometric measures were comparable.

CONCLUSIONS:

It is reassuring that in the short term, in this group of patients, the treatment outcomes were similar.
