Abstract Background.  Many human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients remain on nevirapine-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) despite safety and efficacy concerns. Switching to a rilpivirine-based regimen is an alternative, but there is little experience with rilpivirine in sub-Saharan Africa where induction of rilpivirine metabolism by nevirapine, HIV subtype, and dietary differences could potentially impact efficacy. Methods.  We conducted an open-label noninferiority study of virologically suppressed (HIV-1 ribonucleic acid [RNA] < 50 copies/mL) HIV-1-infected Rwandan adults taking nevirapine plus 2 nucleos(t)ide reverse-transcriptase inhibitors. One hundred fifty participants were randomized 2:1 to switch to coformulated rilpivirine-emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (referenced as the Switch Arm) or continue current therapy. The primary efficacy endpoint was HIV-1 RNA < 200 copies/mL at week 24 assessed by the US Food and Drug Administration Snapshot algorithm with a noninferiority margin of 12%. Results.  Between April and September 2014, 184 patients were screened, and 150 patients were enrolled; 99 patients switched to rilpivirine-emtricitabine-tenofovir, and 51 patients continued their nevirapine-based ART. The mean age was 42 years and 43% of participants were women. At week 24, virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA level <200 copies/mL) was maintained in 93% and 92% in the Switch Arm versus the continuation arm, respectively. The Switch Arm was noninferior to continued nevirapine-based ART (efficacy difference 0.8%; 95% confidence interval, −7.5% to +12.0%). Both regimens were generally safe and well tolerated, although 2 deaths, neither attributed to study medications, occurred in participants in the Switch Arm. Conclusions.  A switch from nevirapine-based ART to rilpivirine-emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate had similar virologic efficacy to continued nevirapine-based ART after 24 weeks with few adverse events.

Background: Patients with drug-resistant HIV often require complex antiretroviral regimens. However, combining fixed-dose combination tablets such as tenofovir–disoproxil–fumarate, emtricitabine, and cobicistat-boosted elvitegravir (TDF/FTC/EVG/cobi) with darunavir (DRV) can provide a simple, once-daily (QD), 2-tablet regimen for patients with drug-resistant HIV. Primary objective was to determine the percentage of patients with HIV-1 RNA <40 copies/mL at 48 weeks. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients initiated on TDF/FTC/EVG/cobi plus DRV. Results: Among the 21 included patients, prior resistance showed a median of 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutations, 1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase mutation, and 1 protease inhibitor mutation. At week 48, 14 (67%) patients achieved HIV-1 RNA <40 copies/mL, 1 patient experienced viral rebound, and 6 (29%) had missing data or discontinued therapy. No patient discontinued for adverse events. Conclusion: According to this observational study, QD TDF/FTC/EVG/cobi plus DRV is considered safe, well tolerated, and generally effective in suppressing HIV drug-resistant virus.

Abstract Background Doravirine is a novel, non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that has demonstrated efficacy in two Phase 3 trials in treatment-naïve adults with HIV-1. Methods This open-label, active-controlled, noninferiority (NI) trial evaluated a once-daily single-tablet regimen of doravirine 100 mg, lamivudine 300 mg, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (DOR/3TC/TDF) vs. continuation of current therapy in adults with HIV-1 virologically suppressed for ≥6 months on a stable regimen of two NRTIs plus a boosted protease inhibitor (PI), boosted elvitegravir, or NNRTI. Participants with screening HIV-1 RNA &lt;40 copies/mL, no history of virologic failure on any regimen, and no resistance to DOR/3TC/TDF were randomized (2:1) to start DOR/3TC/TDF on Day 1 (immediate switch group, ISG) or after 24 weeks (delayed switch group, DSG). The primary endpoint was the proportion (%) of participants with HIV-1 RNA &lt;50 copies/mL (FDA snapshot approach), with the primary comparison between ISG at Week 48 and DSG at Week 24 and a secondary comparison between the groups at Week 24; the NI margin was -8%. The % of participants with HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL was also analyzed (FDA snapshot approach; NI margin 4%). Results A total of 670 participants (447 ISG, 223 DSG) were treated and included in the analyses; 84.5% were male, 76.4% were white, and mean age was 43.3 years. At Week 24, 93.7% (419/447) of ISG vs. 94.6% (211/223) of DSG had HIV-1 RNA &lt;50 copies/mL (difference −0.9% [−4.7, 3.0]), and 1.8% of each group had HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL. At Week 48, 90.8% (406/447) of ISG maintained HIV-1 RNA &lt;50 copies/mL (vs. 94.6% of DSG at Week 24; difference −3.8%, 95% CI [−7.9%, 0.3%]), and 1.6% of ISG had HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL. In the ritonavir-boosted PI stratum, mean changes in fasting LDL-C and non-HDL-C at Week 24 were significantly lower (P &lt; 0.0001) in ISG vs. DSG (table). Rates of any AE and of drug-related AEs at Week 24 were higher in ISG vs. DSG. AEs were mild in most ISG participants (64% of those with any AE; 80% of those with drug-related AEs). Conclusion A once-daily single-tablet regimen of DOR/3TC/TDF demonstrated non-inferior efficacy and acceptable safety compared with continuing therapy, and is an option for maintaining viral suppression in patients considering a change in therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To review the pharmacology, virology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, resistance profile, and clinical use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search was performed (1966–August 2002) using the following terms: tenofovir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, PMPA (9-( R)-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine), and Viread. Abstracts from HIV-related meetings were reviewed. DATA EXTRACTION AND STUDY SELECTION: Publications and meeting abstracts regarding tenofovir were reviewed. The most recent and pertinent items were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a nucleotide prodrug that is diphosphorylated to its active moiety, tenofovir diphosphate. In this form, tenofovir acts as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor to inhibit HIV-1 replication. In clinical trials, tenofovir was effective at suppressing HIV-1 RNA and boosting CD4+ cell counts. Tenofovir has a long intracellular half-life, which permits once-daily dosing. Since tenofovir does not interact with the cytochrome P450 pathway, it exhibits minimal drug interactions, with the exception of didanosine. Compared with other reverse transcriptase inhibitors, tenofovir may have advantages in terms of toxicity and medication adherence profiles. Ongoing studies are also analyzing tenofovir's activity against hepatitis B virus. CONCLUSIONS: Tenofovir has been shown to be active against HIV-1 in combination with other antiretrovirals. The drug's benefit as a single-agent intensifier of highly active antiretroviral therapy in treatment-experienced patients has been established, and preliminary data for treatment-naïve patients are encouraging.
