Effectiveness and tolerability of dolutegravir/lamivudine for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the effectiveness and tolerability of dolutegravir (DTG)/lamivudine (3TC) among treatment-naive and virologically suppressed treatment-experienced individuals in the multicentre cohort of the Spanish HIV/AIDS Research Network (CoRIS) during the years 2018-2021.

Methods

We used multivariable regression models to compare viral suppression (VS) [HIV RNA viral load (VL) <50 copies/mL] and the change in CD4 cell counts at 24 and 48 (±12) weeks after initiation with dolutegravir/lamivudine or other first-line ART regimens.

Results

We included 2160 treatment-naive subjects, among whom 401 (18.6%) started with dolutegravir/lamivudine. The remaining subjects started bictegravir (BIC)/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) (n = 949, 43.9%), DTG + FTC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (n = 282, 13.1%), DTG/3TC/abacavir (ABC) (n = 255, 11.8%), darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat(COBI)/FTC/TAF (n = 147, 6.8%) and elvitegravir (EVG)/COBI/FTC/TAF (n = 126, 5.8%). At 24 and 48 weeks after starting dolutegravir/lamivudine, 91.4% and 93.8% of the subjects, respectively, achieved VS. The probability of achieving VS with dolutegravir/lamivudine was not significantly different compared with any other regimen at 24 or 48 weeks, with the exception of a lower chance of achieving VS at 24 weeks for DRV/COBI/FTC/TAF (adjusted OR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.30-0.74) compared with dolutegravir/lamivudine.For the analysis of treatment-experienced virally suppressed subjects we included 1456 individuals who switched to dolutegravir/lamivudine, among whom 97.4% and 95.5% maintained VS at 24 and 48 weeks, respectively. During the first 48 weeks after dolutegravir/lamivudine initiation, 1.0% of treatment-naive and 1.5% of treatment-experienced subjects discontinued dolutegravir/lamivudine due to an adverse event.

Conclusions

In this large multicentre cohort, effectiveness and tolerability of dolutegravir/lamivudine were high among treatment-naive and treatment-experienced subjects.

Project description:The two-drug regimen dolutegravir plus lamivudine demonstrated durable efficacy for up to 3 years in phase III studies and a high barrier to resistance in treatment-naive and virologically suppressed people with HIV (PWH). This systematic literature review summarizes real-world evidence evaluating effectiveness and safety of dolutegravir plus lamivudine. We searched Ovid MEDLINE®, Embase®, PubMed, Cochrane library, and relevant international conference proceedings from 2013 to 2020. Qualitative synthesis of virologic suppression at Week 48, treatment-emergent resistance, discontinuation rates, and comorbidities was undertaken, with no statistical analyses conducted. Linked publications and potential for duplication in reporting of outcomes for cohorts and populations were identified, and the publication reporting the highest number of PWH receiving dolutegravir plus lamivudine was included in the analysis. Thirty-four studies reporting on cohorts of PWH not suspected to be linked or to include duplicate data receiving dolutegravir plus lamivudine were identified (N = 5017). Of 3744 virologically suppressed PWH who switched to dolutegravir plus lamivudine, 603 (16%) reported history of virologic failure. Nineteen studies included effectiveness data (n = 3558), four of which included data from treatment-naive PWH (n = 69). In studies with > 100 PWH, high rates of virologic suppression (Week 48, 97-100%) were maintained with dolutegravir plus lamivudine, with low rates of virologic failure (0-3.3 per 100 person-years of follow-up); one instance of emergent integrase strand transfer inhibitor resistance was reported in a complex treatment-experienced individual. Rates of discontinuation due to adverse events were low and consistent with previously observed trial data. Dolutegravir plus lamivudine minimally impacted renal function and had minimal impact on or improved lipid profiles and bone mineral density. This systematic review demonstrates that effectiveness and safety of dolutegravir plus lamivudine in clinical practice support data from randomized controlled trials with regard to high rates of virologic response, low rates of discontinuation, and a high barrier to resistance.

Project description:IntroductionDolutegravir (DTG) + lamivudine (3TC) demonstrated high rates of virologic suppression (VS) and low rates of virologic failure (VF), discontinuation, and drug resistance in randomized trials. Real-world evidence can support treatment effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in clinical practice and aid in treatment decisions.MethodsA systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify studies using DTG + 3TC (January 2013-March 2024). Studies were screened to include observational studies reporting 48- or 96-week on-treatment VS, VF, or discontinuation outcomes; proportions of individuals with each outcome at each time point were estimated using random- and common-effects models.ResultsOf 249 SLR-identified publications, 43 reported consistently defined outcomes of interest at comparable time points, representing 1480 individuals naive to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and 12,234 individuals with prior ART experience. At weeks 48 and 96, respectively, estimated proportions (95% CIs; random-effects model) with on-treatment VS were high (naive to ART, 0.964 [0.945-0.979] and 0.902 [0.816-0.966]; prior ART, 0.966 [0.950-0.980] and 0.971 [0.946-0.990]), with low estimated proportions experiencing VF (naive to ART, 0.001 [0.000-0.013] and 0.001 [0.000-0.008]; prior ART, 0.009 [0.005-0.015] and 0.015 [0.007-0.024]) and discontinuations for any reason (naive to ART, 0.052 [0.019-0.097] and 0.130 [0.084-0.183]; prior ART, 0.067 [0.042-0.098] and 0.084 [0.047-0.130]). Across identified studies (> 44,000 unique individuals), those reporting resistance outcomes at VF/blip (regardless of emergence) detected integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) mutations in 0 of 2346 individuals naive to ART and 0.02% (4/20,060) of individuals with prior ART experience (S147G, R263K, G118R + E138K, T66A + G118R + E138K); additionally, N155H was reported in an individual using DTG + 3TC with unknown baseline ART status.ConclusionOverall treatment outcomes in real-world settings confirm the efficacy, tolerability, and high barrier to resistance seen in phase 3 trials across diverse populations, including those naive to ART or with prior ART experience.

Project description:BackgroundThe 2-drug regimen dolutegravir + lamivudine was noninferior to dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine in achieving HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL in treatment-naive adults in the 48-week primary analysis of the GEMINI trials. We present results from the prespecified 96-week secondary analyses.SettingOne hundred eighty-seven centers in 21 countries.MethodsGEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 are identical, double-blind phase III studies. Participants with screening HIV-1 RNA ≤500,000 copies/mL were randomized 1:1 to once-daily dolutegravir + lamivudine or dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine.ResultsAt week 96, dolutegravir + lamivudine (N = 716) was noninferior to dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (N = 717) in achieving HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL (Snapshot algorithm; -10% noninferiority margin) in the pooled analysis (proportion of responders, 86.0% vs 89.5%, respectively; adjusted treatment difference [95% CI], -3.4% [-6.7 to 0.0007]), GEMINI-1 (-4.9% [-9.8 to 0.03]), and GEMINI-2 (-1.8% [-6.4 to 2.7]). Proportions of participants in the HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL Snapshot category were largely unchanged from week 48 to 96. Eleven participants taking dolutegravir + lamivudine and 7 taking dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine met confirmed virologic withdrawal criteria through week 96; none had treatment-emergent resistance mutations. Dolutegravir + lamivudine had a lower rate of drug-related adverse events than dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (19.6% vs 25.0%; relative risk ratio, 0.78; 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.95). Renal and bone biomarker changes favored dolutegravir + lamivudine.ConclusionsConsistent with 48-week data, dolutegravir + lamivudine demonstrated long-term, noninferior efficacy vs dolutegravir + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine without increased risk of treatment-emergent resistance, supporting its use in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected individuals.

Project description:IntroductionWith longer life expectancy in people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a common cause of mortality among them. Abacavir has been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction, but the mechanism is unknown. Additionally, abacavir may be obesogenic which could mediate an additional risk factor of CVD. We aim to investigate if discontinuation of abacavir will have a favourable impact on body weight and cardiac parameters in PLWH.Methods and analysisRandomised, controlled, superiority trial of virologically suppressed PLWH on dolutegravir, abacavir and lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC) for ≥6 months. In total, 70 PLWH will be randomised 1:2 to either continue DTG/ABC/3TC or to switch to dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG/3TC) providing the power of 80% at alpha 5% to detect a mean difference in weight change of 2 kg (Δ) given an SD of 2.7 kg. Follow-up will be 48 weeks. Data will be collected at baseline and week 48. Primary outcome will be change in mean body weight from baseline to week 24 and 48 evaluated in a linear mixed model. Secondary outcomes will be changes in cardiac, inflammatory and metabolic parameters, fat distribution, coagulation, endothelial, platelet function, quality of life and virological control from baseline to week 48. Measurements include CT of thorax and abdomen, external carotid artery ultrasound, liver elastography and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and blood analysis. Plasma HIV RNA will be measured at baseline, week 4, 24 and 48. Forty participants (20 from each arm) will be included in a substudy involving cardiac MRI at baseline and week 48. Twenty non-HIV-infected controls will be included with a single scan to compare with baseline scan data.Ethics and disseminationResult from this study will lead to a better understanding of the association between antiretroviral therapy and the impact on weight and risk of CVD. Findings will be useful for both clinicians and PLWH in the guidance of a more individualised HIV treatment. Results from the main study and the substudies will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal(s).
