The long-acting injectable (LAI) cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) treatment offers important advantages over oral ART (antiretroviral therapy), however baseline factors possibly contributing to the CAB/RPV treatment failure were identified. The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of virologic factors previously influencing efficacy of this treatment, namely RPV and CAB resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) and A1/A6 subtype among naïve and treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients from Poland.
The following datasets of HIV-1 sequences were analysed: 4809 protease and reverse transcriptase (PR/RT) sequences obtained from 4649 Polish Caucasian patients (4122 naive and 687 non-naïve) supplemented with integrase (PR/RT/INT) sequences in 1217 cases (942 naïve and 275 non-naïve). Sub-subtypes A were assigned by phylogenetic methods. Major and minor CAB and RPV RAMs were determined according to the IAS-USA 2019 list, while minor RAMs were additionally defined based on the Stanford database algorithm.
Subtype A1/A6 frequency ranged from 6.11% in ART failing cases with PR/RT sequences only, to 15.92% for the PR/RT/INT treatment-naïve dataset, while RPV RAMs were found in up to 5.89% of treatment-naïve and 14.56% of ART failing cases. Regardless treatment history, only <1% sequences had combination of two factors (RPV RAMs and A1/A6 subtype). Furthermore, CAB RAMs were found in 1.27% of treatment-naïve and 14.54% of experienced patients.
Despite notable frequency of subtype A1/A6 or CAB/RPV RAMs analysed separately, combination of at least two factors previously associated with failure or this treatment is rare. As subtype A1/A6 becomes more common across real-life cohorts continued subtyping and RAM screening will remain of key importance for LAI treatment implementation. Sequence data from this article have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers: GU906860, GU906864, GU906871-GU906874, JQ305750-JQ305791, KC409134-KC409222, KM057341-KM057362, KM283892-KM284490, KT340108-KT340205, MZ468643-MZ468894, MZ671788-MZ671823, OP298017-OP302727.
长效注射剂(LAI)卡替拉韦(CAB)和利匹韦林(RPV)治疗与口服抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)相比具有重要优势,但确定了可能导致 CAB/RPV 治疗失败的基线因素。本研究的目的是描述先前影响该治疗疗效的病毒学因素的频率,即在波兰的 HIV-1 感染的初治和治疗经验患者中,利匹韦林和卡替拉韦耐药相关突变(RAM)和 A1/A6 亚型。
分析了以下 HIV-1 序列数据集:4809 个蛋白酶和逆转录酶(PR/RT)序列来自 4649 名波兰白种人患者(4122 名初治和 687 名非初治),补充了 1217 例整合酶(PR/RT/INT)序列(942 名初治和 275 名非初治)。亚亚型 A 通过系统发育方法确定。主要和次要 CAB 和 RPV RAM 根据 IAS-USA 2019 列表确定,而次要 RAM 则根据斯坦福数据库算法另外定义。
仅在具有 PR/RT 序列的 ART 失败病例中,A1/A6 亚型的频率范围为 6.11%,而在 PR/RT/INT 治疗初治的数据集则为 15.92%,而利匹韦林 RAM 在高达 5.89%的初治和 14.56%的 ART 失败病例中发现。无论治疗史如何,只有不到 1%的序列存在两种因素(RPV RAM 和 A1/A6 亚型)的组合。此外,在初治和有治疗经验的患者中,分别有 1.27%和 14.54%的序列存在 CAB RAM。
尽管分别分析了 A1/A6 亚型或 CAB/RPV RAM 的频率显著,但与该治疗失败或该治疗相关的至少两种因素的组合很少见。随着现实生活队列中 A1/A6 亚型的流行程度不断提高,持续的亚型分类和 RAM 筛查将仍然是 LAI 治疗实施的关键。本文的序列数据已在 GenBank 中以以下登录号提交:GU906860、GU906864、GU906871-GU906874、JQ305750-JQ305791、KM057341-KM057362、KM283892-KM284490、KT340108-KT340205、MZ468643-MZ468894、MZ671788-MZ671823、OP298017-OP302727。
