Equivalent Decline in Inflammation Markers with Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate vs. Tenofovir Alafenamide.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and subsequent virologic suppression reduces immune activation and systemic inflammation.

Methods

We examined longitudinal changes in biomarkers of monocyte activation (sCD14, sCD163), and systemic (IL-6, hsCRP, sTNFR-I and D-dimer) and vascular (Lp-PLA2) inflammation in a subgroup (N=100 per arm) of participants enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial comparing elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF; TAF) to E/C/F/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF; TDF) in treatment-naïve adults.

Results

For 194 participants (TAF, 98; TDF, 96), baseline levels of biomarkers did not differ by treatment arm; there were no differences in biomarker values between groups at weeks 12, 24, or 48 (p>0.05), except IL-6 at week 12 (p=0.012). Among all participants (combining groups), there were statistically significant declines from baseline observed for D-dimer, sCD163, and sTNFR-1 by week 12 and IL-6 by week 24. The proportion of participants with Lp-LA2 levels<200ng per mL (p=0.250) or hsCRP levels <3000mg per L (p=0.586) was unchanged through week 48.

Conclusions

We observed equivalent declines in biomarkers of monocyte activation and systemic inflammation in treatment-naïve adults treated with TAF or TDF for 48weeks, suggesting that TAF and TDF have equivalent impact on immune activation and inflammation.
