Weight gain on tenofovir alafenamide fumarate-based therapy compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate- and abacavir-based therapy in children and young people living with HIV in Europe.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare BMI-for-age z-score (zBMI) changes in treatment-experienced children and young people living with HIV aged 6 to <25 years on tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) to those on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and abacavir (ABC).

Methods

Cohort study of children and young people living with HIV from 12 European countries were grouped by drug exposure: 1 - on TAF with prior TDF use; 2 - on TAF no prior TDF; 3 - on TDF; and 4 - on ABC. Outcomes, adjusted for characteristics at drug start, were (i) incidence of overweight or obesity by 96 weeks, (ii) zBMI change 48 weeks before/after drug start, (iii) association between TAF/TDF/ABC and anchor drug on zBMI change and (iv) factors associated with zBMI change on TAF over 96 weeks.

Results

Overall, 162,
