Most treatment switches are for simplification from three-drug (3DR) to dual regimens (2DR). However, a proportion of people with HIV may switch back to 3DR, like bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) after 2DR.
We included people with HIV enroled in the Icona cohort who switched to B/F/TAF after 2DR INSTI-based (3TC/DTG, RPV/DTG, RPV/CAB, or DOR + DTG). Virological rebound (VR), virological suppression (VS), and treatment discontinuation (TD) due to toxicity or failure were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Random intercept and slopes before and after the switch were used to evaluate the trajectories of triglycerides, cholesterol, CD4, and CD4/CD8. Viro-immunological analyses were stratified according to HIV-RNA at switch.
Among the 3662 people with HIV who started a 2DR INSTI-based regimen, 71 (1.9%) switched to B/F/TAF; 60 had been followed up after the switch, for a median of 10.9 months (interquartile range: 3.6-24.7). Forty people with HIV switched with HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL (uVL), 20 with HIV-RNA ≥50 copies/mL (dVL). Among the uVL group, one participant experienced VR (HIV-RNA: 99, 71 followed by 29 copies/mL). Among the dVL group, the 1-year cumulative probability of undetectable VL was 75% (95% confidence interval [CI] 57.6-95.1). Fourteen people with HIV interrupted B/F/TAF for simplification (50.0%), toxicity (28.6%), VR (14.2%), and patient's choice (7.1); the 1-year cumulative probability of TD for toxicity/failure was 10.7% (95% CI 14.5-24.5). We observed an increase in the CD4/CD8 ratio (+0.02 CD4/CD8/month, p = 0.026) only in the dVL group.
Switching from 2DR-INSTI to B/F/TAF is infrequent; this switch results in a low rate of toxicity and failure, along with a favourable immunovirological and lipid profile. CD4/CD8 gain is observed in those switching with detectable HIV-RNA.
大多数治疗方案转换是为了从三联疗法(3DR)简化为双联疗法(2DR)。然而,一部分艾滋病毒感染者可能会在接受2DR治疗后又换回3DR,比如换成比克替拉韦/恩曲他滨/替诺福韦艾拉酚胺(B/F/TAF)。
我们纳入了伊科纳队列中接受基于整合酶链转移抑制剂(INSTI)的2DR治疗后换成B/F/TAF的艾滋病毒感染者(3TC/DTG、RPV/DTG、RPV/CAB或DOR + DTG)。使用Kaplan-Meier曲线评估病毒学反弹(VR)、病毒学抑制(VS)以及因毒性或治疗失败导致的治疗中断(TD)情况。转换前后的随机截距和斜率用于评估甘油三酯、胆固醇、CD4和CD4/CD8的变化轨迹。病毒免疫学分析根据转换时的HIV-RNA水平进行分层。
在3662名开始接受基于INSTI的2DR治疗方案的艾滋病毒感染者中,71人(1.9%)换成了B/F/TAF;转换后有60人接受了随访,中位随访时间为10.9个月(四分位间距:3.6 - 24.7个月)。40名艾滋病毒感染者在HIV-RNA <50拷贝/mL(病毒载量不可测,uVL)时进行了转换,20名在HIV-RNA≥50拷贝/mL(病毒载量可测,dVL)时进行了转换。在uVL组中,有1名参与者出现病毒学反弹(HIV-RNA:99,随后为71,然后是29拷贝/mL)。在dVL组中,病毒载量不可测的1年累积概率为75%(95%置信区间[CI] 57.6 - 95.1)。14名艾滋病毒感染者因简化治疗(50.0%)、毒性反应(28.6%)、病毒学反弹(14.2%)和患者自主选择(7.1%)中断了B/F/TAF治疗;因毒性/治疗失败导致治疗中断的1年累积概率为10.7%(95% CI 14.5 - 24.5)。我们仅在dVL组中观察到CD4/CD8比值有所增加(每月增加0.02 CD4/CD8,p = 0.026)。
从基于INSTI的2DR转换为B/F/TAF的情况并不常见;这种转换导致毒性和治疗失败率较低,同时具有良好的免疫病毒学和血脂特征。在病毒载量可测的情况下进行转换的患者中观察到了CD4/CD8比值的增加。
