We aimed to compare the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) classes for achieving HIV RNA suppression to < 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL within 6 months of initiation with high viral loads (VLs). Secondary objectives were to compare viral suppression (VS) at 12 weeks and 12 months, partial HIV RNA suppression to < 200 copies/mL, time to VS, time to rebound, and change in CD4 cell count.
This was a multicentre, retrospective, observational study. Adult patients were included if they initiated ART between January 2005 and December 2016 with a VL ≥ 100 000 copies/mL.
There were 220 patients included in the study. The median VL was 252 919 [interquartile range (IQR) 149 472-500 000] copies/mL. Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) recipients were more likely to achieve VS by 6 months compared to those initiating ART containing protease inhibitors (PIs) [75.4% vs. 44.1%, respectively; odds ratio (OR) 3.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.62-6.90] or integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) (75.4% vs. 55.8%, respectively; OR 2.40; 95% CI 1.03-5.58). VS at 12 weeks was more frequent with INSTI-containing regimens than with PIs (28.9% vs. 9.0%, respectively; OR 4.10; 95% CI 1.69-9.92). VS at 12 months did not significantly differ between treatment regimens. Median time to complete VS for INSTI, PI and NNRTI recipients was 22.3 (95% CI 13.4-33), 30.1 (95% CI 25-36) and 19.9 (95% CI 16-22.3) weeks, respectively. There were no significant differences in time to viral rebound or change in CD4 cell counts.
Patients with high VLs initiated on NNRTIs were more likely to achieve VS by 6 months on ART compared to INSTI and PI recipients.
我们旨在比较在高病毒载量(VL)时开始抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)后 6 个月内达到 HIV RNA 抑制至 <50 HIV-1 RNA 拷贝/ml 的效果,比较不同 ART 类别的疗效。次要目标是比较 12 周和 12 个月时的病毒抑制(VS)、部分 HIV RNA 抑制至 <200 拷贝/ml、达到 VS 的时间、病毒反弹时间以及 CD4 细胞计数的变化。
这是一项多中心、回顾性、观察性研究。如果患者在 2005 年 1 月至 2016 年 12 月期间开始 ART,VL≥100000 拷贝/ml,则纳入本研究。
本研究共纳入 220 例患者。中位 VL 为 252919 [四分位距(IQR)149472-500000] 拷贝/ml。与接受包含蛋白酶抑制剂(PIs)的 ART 治疗的患者(分别为 44.1%;优势比(OR)3.34;95%置信区间(CI)1.62-6.90)或整合酶链转移抑制剂(INSTIs)(分别为 55.8%;OR 2.40;95% CI 1.03-5.58)相比,接受非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NNRTI)的患者在 6 个月时更有可能实现 VS。在 12 周时,接受 INSTI 治疗的患者 VS 发生率高于接受 PI 治疗的患者(分别为 28.9%和 9.0%;OR 4.10;95% CI 1.69-9.92)。治疗方案之间在 12 个月时 VS 无显著差异。INSTI、PI 和 NNRTI 治疗患者完全 VS 的中位时间分别为 22.3(95% CI 13.4-33)、30.1(95% CI 25-36)和 19.9(95% CI 16-22.3)周。病毒反弹时间和 CD4 细胞计数变化无显著差异。
与 INSTI 和 PI 治疗患者相比,在高 VL 时开始接受 NNRTI 的患者在 6 个月时更有可能实现 VS。
