Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are recommended as first-line ART for people living with HIV (PLWH) in most guidelines. The INSTI-resistance-associated mutation E157Q, a highly prevalent (2%-5%) polymorphism of the HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1) integrase gene, has limited data on optimal first-line ART regimens. We assessed the virological outcomes of various first-line ART regimens in PLWH with E157Q in real-world settings.
A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted on PLWH who underwent integrase genotypic drug-resistance testing before ART initiation between 2008 and 2019 and were found to have E157Q. Viral suppression (<50 copies/mL) rate at 24 and 48 weeks, time to viral suppression and time to viral rebound (≥100 copies/mL) were compared among the first-line ART regimens.
E157Q was detected in 167 (4.1%) of 4043 ART-naïve PLWH. Among them, 144 had available clinical data after ART initiation with a median follow-up of 1888 days. Forty-five started protease inhibitors + 2 NRTIs (PI group), 33 started first-generation INSTI (raltegravir or elvitegravir/cobicistat) + 2 NRTIs (INSTI-1 group), 58 started once-daily second-generation INSTI (dolutegravir or bictegravir) + 2 NRTIs (INSTI-2 group) and eight started other regimens. In the multivariate analysis, the INSTI-2 group showed similar or favourable outcomes compared with the PI group for viral suppression rates, time to viral suppression and time to viral rebound. Two cases in the INSTI-1 group experienced virological failure.
The general guideline recommendation of second-generation INSTI-based first-line ART for most PLWH is also applicable to PLWH harbouring E157Q.
整合酶链转移抑制剂(INSTIs)是大多数指南推荐的 HIV 感染者(PLWH)一线抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)药物。整合酶基因 HIV-1(人类免疫缺陷病毒 1 型)的 E157Q 耐药相关突变是一种高度流行(2%-5%)的多态性,关于其一线 ART 方案的最佳选择,目前仅有有限的数据。我们评估了 E157Q 阳性的 PLWH 在真实环境中应用各种一线 ART 方案的病毒学结局。
一项多中心回顾性观察性研究,纳入了 2008 年至 2019 年间接受 ART 前整合酶基因耐药性检测并发现 E157Q 的 PLWH。比较了不同一线 ART 方案在 24 周和 48 周时的病毒抑制率(<50 拷贝/毫升)、病毒抑制时间和病毒反弹时间(≥100 拷贝/毫升)。
在 4043 例 ART 初治的 PLWH 中,发现 E157Q 阳性者 167 例(4.1%)。其中 144 例在 ART 开始后有可用的临床数据,中位随访时间为 1888 天。45 例起始蛋白酶抑制剂+2 种 NRTIs(PI 组),33 例起始第一代 INSTI(raltegravir 或 elvitegravir/cobicistat)+2 种 NRTIs(INSTI-1 组),58 例起始每日 1 次的第二代 INSTI(dolutegravir 或 bictegravir)+2 种 NRTIs(INSTI-2 组),8 例起始其他方案。多变量分析显示,与 PI 组相比,INSTI-2 组在病毒抑制率、病毒抑制时间和病毒反弹时间方面具有相似或更优的结果。INSTI-1 组有 2 例出现病毒学失败。
对于大多数 PLWH,第二代 INSTI 为基础的一线 ART 作为一般指南推荐,也适用于携带 E157Q 的 PLWH。
