Urine Tenofovir Levels Strongly Correlate With Virologic Suppression in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus on Tenofovir Alafenamide-Based Antiretroviral Therapy.

ABSTRACT: We found that urine tenofovir (TFV) levels >1500 ng/mL strongly predict virologic suppression among people with human immunodeficiency virus taking tenofovir alafenamide (odds ratio, 5.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.59-20.14; P = .007). This suggests an existing point-of-care assay developed for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate will support adherence monitoring for patients on all TFV-based antiretrovirals.

Project description:Background: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir/emtricitabine is effective when taken daily. Previously, we developed a urine assay capable of detecting the prodrug tenofovir (TFV) in patients taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based PrEP. However, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has replaced TDF due to its different safety profile for HIV treatment and was recently approved as PrEP. Given the need to ensure the aforementioned assay remains available for the purpose of objective adherence monitoring, it is critical to ensure its accuracy for detecting TFV in patients taking TAF. Methods: Blood and urine samples were collected from 3 cohorts of patients: (1) 10 participants living with HIV (PLWH) with suppressed virus on a TAF-based regimen, (2) 10 HIV-participants administered 1 dose of TAF/FTC followed by urine and plasma sampling for 7 days starting 1-3 h post-dose, and (3) 10 HIV-participants administered 7 doses of TAF/FTC followed by urine and plasma sampling for 10 days starting 1-3 h after the last dose. Samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with high sensitivity and specificity for TFV. HIV-samples were compared to a historical cohort administered one dose of TDF/FTC. Results: PLWH were 90% male, 40% African American, and 10% Hispanic (mean age = 57 y; SD 8.88 y). HIV-participants were 55% male and 70% Caucasian (mean age = 31.6 y; SD 7.70 y). Samples from PLWH demonstrated TFV concentrations 2 logs higher in urine than plasma (1,000 ng/mL vs ±10 ng/mL) at the time of collection. Urine samples following a single dose of TAF in HIV-participants yielded TFV concentrations ranging from 100 to 1,000 ng/mL 1-3 h post-dose and remained >100 ng/mL for 6 days in 8 of 10 participants. Urine samples collected after 7 consecutive doses of TAF yielded TFV concentrations >1,000 ng/mL 1-3 h after dosing discontinuation, with TFV concentrations >1,00 ng/mL 7 days post discontinuation in 8 of 10 participants. Urine TFV concentrations following TAF administration were comparable to those from a historical cohort administered TDF/FTC. Plasma TFV concentrations were low(±10 ng/mL) in both HIV-cohorts at all time points. Conclusions: TFV persists in urine at detectable concentrations in participants taking TAF/FTC for at least 7 days despite largely undetectable plasma concentrations, with urine TFV concentrations comparable to patients taking TDF/FTC. This study demonstrates the ability of a urine TFV assay to measure recent TAF adherence.

Project description:ObjectivesStudies 1878 and 1844 demonstrated non-inferior efficacy of switching suppressed HIV-1-infected adults to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) versus continuing boosted PI-based triple regimens or dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC). Here, detailed analyses of pre-existing resistance in the two BIC/FTC/TAF switch studies and efficacy at week 48 are described.MethodsPre-existing resistance was assessed from historical genotypes (documented resistance to study drugs was excluded) and by retrospective baseline proviral archive DNA genotyping from whole blood. Outcomes were based on HIV-1 RNA at week 48 with missing values imputed using the last on-treatment observation carried forward method.ResultsCumulative pre-existing resistance data from historical and proviral genotypes were obtained for 95% (543/570) of participants who switched to BIC/FTC/TAF. Altogether, 40% (217/543) had one or more pre-existing primary resistance substitutions in protease, reverse transcriptase and/or integrase. Pre-switch NRTI resistance was detected in 16% (89/543) of BIC/FTC/TAF-treated participants, with M184V or M184I detected by proviral genotyping in 10% (54/543). At week 48, 98% (561/570) of all BIC/FTC/TAF-treated participants versus 98% (213/217) with pre-existing resistance and 96% (52/54) with archived M184V/I had HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL. No BIC/FTC/TAF-treated participants developed treatment-emergent resistance to study drugs.ConclusionsPre-existing resistance substitutions, notably M184V/I, were unexpectedly common among suppressed participants who switched to BIC/FTC/TAF. High rates of virological suppression were maintained in the overall study population and in those with pre-existing resistance, including M184V/I, for up to 48 weeks of BIC/FTC/TAF treatment with no resistance development. These results indicate that BIC/FTC/TAF is an effective treatment option for suppressed patients, including those with evidence of archived NRTI resistance.
