Changes in Glomerular Filtration Rate After Switching From Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate to Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Preexposure Prophylaxis.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) was promoted as a safer alternative to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for human immunodeficiency virus oral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). It is unknown if switching from TDF to TAF translates to improved renal function. We used electronic health record (EHR) data to assess changes in creatinine-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after switching from TDF to TAF.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using EHR data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California. We identified individuals who switched from TDF to TAF between October 2019 and May 2022 and used time-varying propensity score matching to identify controls who were on TDF ("nonswitchers"). We then used Bayesian longitudinal modeling to compare differences in eGFR between switching and nonswitching scenarios.

Results

Among 5246 eligible individuals, we included 118 TDF to TAF switchers and 114 nonswitchers. Compared to nonswitchers, switchers had older age of starting TDF but similar body weights at index date. A higher proportion of switchers were White, on Medicare or Medicaid, and had dyslipidemia at index date. Switching to TAF was associated with a higher eGFR compared to staying on TDF in 3-15 months post-switch, but the differences were not statistically significant (eg, month 9 difference: 1.27 [95% credible interval, -1.35 to 3.89]). While most of the estimated changes showed eGFR increase associated with switching, most were <2 eGFR units. Sensitivity analyses to address missingness or nonadherence showed similar results.

Conclusions

Switching from TDF to TAF for PrEP was associated with a nonsignificant increase in eGFR. Findings need to be confirmed using larger cohorts.
