Inflammatory Biomarker Reduction With Fostemsavir Over 96 Weeks in Heavily Treatment-Experienced Adults With Multidrug-Resistant HIV-1 in the BRIGHTE Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fostemsavir, a first-in-class attachment inhibitor that binds to the viral envelope protein gp120, is approved for heavily treatment-experienced persons with HIV-1 with limited treatment options. We explored changes in immunologic and coagulopathy parameters in the BRIGHTE study: a phase 3 trial that evaluated fostemsavir plus optimized background therapy in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1.

Methods

CD4+ T-cell count, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, soluble CD14, soluble CD163, and D-dimer levels were measured through 96 weeks in participants with 1 or 2 fully active antiretroviral agents available at screening. No formal statistical analyses were performed.

Results

Among 272 participants, increases were observed from baseline to week 96 in CD4+ T-cell count (mean increase, +205 cells/mm³) and CD4+/CD8+ ratio (mean increase, +0.24). The proportion of observed participants with a CD4+/CD8+ ratio ≥0.45 increased from 9% (25/272) at baseline to 40% (85/213) at week 96. From baseline to week 96, we also observed trends toward decreases in the following (mean [SD] change): soluble CD14, -738.2 (981.8) µg/L; soluble CD163, -138.0 (193.4) µg/L; and D-dimer, -0.099 (0.521) mg/L fibrinogen-equivalent units. Decreases in biomarkers were generally observed among subgroups by baseline disease characteristics, virologic response, and CD4+ T-cell count.

Conclusions

These data suggest that heavily treatment-experienced persons with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 treated with fostemsavir + optimized background therapy may have improvements in immune parameters, including markers of monocyte activation and coagulopathy.

Project description:IntroductionEfficacy and safety of the attachment inhibitor fostemsavir + optimized background therapy (OBT) were evaluated through 48 and 96 weeks in the phase 3 BRIGHTE trial in heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) adults failing their current antiretroviral regimen. Here, we report 240-week efficacy and safety of fostemsavir + OBT in adults with multidrug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 in BRIGHTE.MethodsHeavily treatment-experienced adults failing their current regimen entered the randomized cohort (RC; 1-2 fully active antiretrovirals available) or non-randomized cohort (NRC; no fully active antiretrovirals available) and received open-label fostemsavir + OBT (starting Day 8 in RC and Day 1 in NRC). Endpoints included proportion with virologic response (HIV-1 RNA < 40 copies/mL, Snapshot), immunologic efficacy, and safety.ResultsAt Week 240, 45% and 22% of the RC and NRC, respectively, had virologic response (Snapshot); 7% of the RC and 5% of the NRC had missing data due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-impacted visits. In the observed analysis, 82% of the RC and 66% of the NRC had virologic response. At Week 240, mean change from baseline in CD4+ T-cell count was 296 cells/mm3 (RC) and 240 cells/mm3 (NRC); mean CD4+/CD8+ ratio increased between Weeks 96 and 240 (RC 0.44 to 0.60; NRC 0.23 to 0.32). Between Weeks 96 and 240, four participants discontinued for adverse events, one additional participant experienced a drug-related serious adverse event, and six deaths occurred (median last available CD4+ T-cell count, 3 cells/mm3). COVID-19-related events occurred in 25 out of 371 participants; all resolved without incident.ConclusionThrough ~5 years, fostemsavir + OBT demonstrated durable virologic and immunologic responses with no new safety concerns between Weeks 96 and 240, supporting this regimen as a key therapeutic option for HTE people with multidrug-resistant HIV-1.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02362503.

Project description:BackgroundTherapy with tenofovir is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD), higher markers of bone turnover and increased fracture risk in HIV-infected adults. Bone structural parameters generated by hip structural analysis may represent a separate measure of bone strength, but have not been assessed in HIV.MethodsDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans from 254 HIV-infected adults randomised to simplify their existing dual nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy to coformulated tenofovir-emtricitabine or abacavir-lamivudine were analysed using DXA-derived hip structural analysis software. Hip structural parameters included femoral strength index, section modulus, cross-sectional area, and cross-sectional moment of inertia. We used one-way ANOVA to test the relationship between nucleoside analogue type at baseline and structural parameters, multivariable analysis to assess baseline covariates associated with femoral strength index, and t-tests to compare mean change in structural parameters over 96 weeks between randomised groups.ResultsParticipants taking tenofovir at baseline had lower section modulus (-107.3 mm2, p = 0.001), lower cross-sectional area (-15.01 mm3, p = 0.001), and lower cross-sectional moment of inertia (-2,036.8 mm4, p = 0.007) than those receiving other nucleoside analogues. After adjustment for baseline risk factors, the association remained significant for section modulus (p = 0.008) and cross-sectional area (p = 0.002). Baseline covariates significantly associated with higher femoral strength index were higher spine T-score (p = 0.001), lower body fat mass (p<0.001), lower bone alkaline phosphatase (p = 0.025), and higher osteoprotegerin (p = 0.024). Hip structural parameters did not change significantly over 96 weeks and none was significantly affected by treatment simplification to tenofovir-emtricitabine or abacavir-lamivudine.ConclusionIn this population, tenofovir use was associated with reduced composite indices of bone strength as measured by hip structural analysis, but none of the structural parameters improved significantly over 96 weeks with tenofovir cessation.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00192634.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is crucial for its control. MDR-TB in previously treated patients is generally attributed to the selection of drug resistant mutants during inadequate therapy rather than transmission of a resistant strain. Traditional genotyping methods are not sufficient to distinguish strains in populations with a high burden of tuberculosis and it has previously been difficult to assess the degree of transmission in these settings. We have used whole genome analysis to investigate M. tuberculosis strains isolated from treatment experienced patients with MDR-TB in Uganda over a period of four years.Methods and findingsWe used high throughput genome sequencing technology to investigate small polymorphisms and large deletions in 51 Mycobacterium tuberculosis samples from 41 treatment-experienced TB patients attending a TB referral and treatment clinic in Kampala. This was a convenience sample representing 69% of MDR-TB cases identified over the four year period. Low polymorphism was observed in longitudinal samples from individual patients (2-15 SNPs). Clusters of samples with less than 50 SNPs variation were examined. Three clusters comprising a total of 8 patients were found with almost identical genetic profiles, including mutations predictive for resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid, suggesting transmission of MDR-TB. Two patients with previous drug susceptible disease were found to have acquired MDR strains, one of which shared its genotype with an isolate from another patient in the cohort.ConclusionsWhole genome sequence analysis identified MDR-TB strains that were shared by more than one patient. The transmission of multidrug-resistant disease in this cohort of retreatment patients emphasises the importance of early detection and need for infection control. Consideration should be given to rapid testing for drug resistance in patients undergoing treatment to monitor the emergence of resistance and permit early intervention to avoid onward transmission.
