Selection of first-line antiretroviral therapy requires consideration of efficacy as well as effects on lipids given the increased concern about cardiovascular risk in HIV-1 patients.
ARTEN is a randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial that compares nevirapine (NVP) 200 mg twice daily or 400 mg once daily to atazanavir/ritonavir (ATZ/r) 300 mg/100 mg once daily, each combined with fixed-dose tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg/emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg once daily, in antiretroviral-naive HIV-1 patients with CD4(+) T-cell counts <400 (men) and <250 cells/mm(3) (women). The primary end point was plasma HIV RNA<50 copies/ml at two consecutive visits prior to week 48.
A total of 569 patients were randomized and treated. Overall, 66.8% of NVP and 65.3% of ATZ/r patients achieved the primary end point (difference 1.9%, 95% CI -5.9-9.8%). Similar rates of serious adverse events were observed (9.6% on NVP versus 8.8% on ATZ/r), although discontinuations due to adverse events were more frequent with NVP than ATZ/r (13.6% versus 3.6%, respectively). None of the 28 patients virologically failing ATZ/r selected resistance mutations, while they were selected in 29/44 patients virologically failing NVP. NVP induced a significantly greater increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and apolipoprotein A1 from baseline than ATZ/r, whereas triglycerides increased significantly more with ATZ/r than NVP. Mean change from baseline in TC:HDL-c ratio was -0.24 for NVP and 0.13 for ATZ/r (P=0.0001).
NVP demonstrated at week 48 non-inferior antiviral efficacy compared with ATZ/r when given along with TDF/FTC, despite more drug-related discontinuations with NVP than ATZ/r. NVP was associated with a lower atherogenic lipid profile than ATZ/r although resistance mutations were more frequently selected with NVP than ATZ/r.
鉴于对HIV-1患者心血管风险的日益关注,一线抗逆转录病毒疗法的选择需要考虑疗效以及对血脂的影响。
ARTEN是一项随机、开放标签、非劣效性试验,比较了每日两次200毫克或每日一次400毫克的奈韦拉平(NVP)与每日一次300毫克/100毫克的阿扎那韦/利托那韦(ATZ/r),每种药物均与固定剂量的富马酸替诺福韦二吡呋酯(TDF)300毫克/恩曲他滨(FTC)200毫克每日一次联合使用,用于CD4(+)T细胞计数<400(男性)和<250个细胞/立方毫米(女性)的初治HIV-1患者。主要终点是在第48周之前连续两次访视时血浆HIV RNA<50拷贝/毫升。
共有569名患者被随机分组并接受治疗。总体而言,66.8%的NVP患者和65.3%的ATZ/r患者达到了主要终点(差异1.9%,95%CI -5.9-9.8%)。观察到严重不良事件的发生率相似(NVP组为9.6%,ATZ/r组为8.8%),尽管因不良事件停药的情况在NVP组比ATZ/r组更频繁(分别为13.6%和3.6%)。在28例ATZ/r病毒学失败的患者中,没有一例选择耐药突变,而在44例NVP病毒学失败的患者中有29例选择了耐药突变。与ATZ/r相比,NVP从基线开始使高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-c)和载脂蛋白A1显著增加,而ATZ/r使甘油三酯的增加显著高于NVP。NVP组TC:HDL-c比值从基线的平均变化为-0.24,ATZ/r组为0.13(P=0.0001)。
在第48周时,NVP与TDF/FTC联合使用时显示出与ATZ/r相比非劣效的抗病毒疗效,尽管NVP因药物相关停药的情况比ATZ/r更多。与ATZ/r相比,NVP与较低的致动脉粥样硬化血脂谱相关,尽管NVP比ATZ/r更频繁地选择耐药突变。
