149 Goals of Treatment

• Reduce HIV-related morbidity; prolong duration and quality of survival • Restore and/or preserve immunologic function • Maximally and durably suppress HIV viral load • Prevent HIV transmission

15 0 When to Start ART

• Current recommendation: ART for all HIV infected patients is based on START study • START Study opened in March 2011, included 215 sites in 35 countries, enrolled 4685 patients with CD4 over 500. Half started ART immediately and half started when CD4<350. • Measured outcomes of AIDS events, non-AIDS events such as CVD, and death. • The trial was stopped early in March 2015 when analysis showed reduction of 53% in risk for serious illness or death and 70% risk reduction for

AIDs defining illnesses. 15 1 15 2 153 New rec for screening for DM

•2.3 In conditions associated with an altered relationship between A1C and glycemia, such as sickle cell disease, pregnancy (second and third trimesters and the postpartum period), glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, HIV, hemodialysis, recent blood loss or transfusion, or erythropoietin therapy, only plasma blood glucose criteria should be used to diagnose diabetes. B

Prior guidelines used A1c q 3-6 mos if abnormal, and q12 mos if normal.

154 155 Initial Treatment: Choosing Regimens

• Recommended regimens have comparable efficacies, but vary in pill burden, drug side effects, drug interactions, and propensity to select for resistance if adherence is suboptimal.

• Regimens are tailored for the individual based on: – Pretreatment HIV RNA level – Pretreatment CD4 count – HIV genotypic drug resistance testing – HLA-B 5701 status – Anticipated adherence – Patient comorbidities • CVD, hyperlipidemia, renal disease, osteopenia, psychiatric illness • Pregnancy or its potential • Coinfection with Hep B, Hep C, tuberculosis, cryptococcus – Regimen-Specific Considerations • Regimen’s barrier to resistance • Potential adverse drug effects • Potential drug interactions • Convenience- pill burden, dosing frequency, food requirements 15 6 DHHS Guidelines last updated December, 2019 aidsinfo.nih.gov DHHS Guidelines: Preferred Initial ART

Atripla Complera Odefsey Delstrigo

EFV/TDF/FTC RVP/TDF/FTC RVP/TAF/FTC TAF/3TC/DOR

• If patient is HBV co-infected  Use Truvada or Descovy • Efavirenz should not be used in first trimester of pregnancy • Rilpivirine should not be co-administered with PPI • Rilpivirine should not be used if HIV VL >100,000 copies

181 Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors • Efavirenz • Rilpivirine • Etravirine • Nevirapine • Doravirine – All have low barrier for resistance, and resistance to all in the class (except ETR and DOR) may occur with a single mutation. A resistance mutation to DOR may confer resistance to other NNRTI’s except ETR. – All are less well tolerated than the Recommended regimens

182 NNRTI’s • Efavirenz- EFV- Sustiva

– Pro: - Once daily dosing – Coformulated with TDF/FTC (Atripla) – Documented efficacy in patients with high HIV VL

– Con: - Transmitted resistance more common than with PI’s and INSTI’s single mutation (K103) -Neuropsychiatric side effects with abnormal dreams, dizziness, depression and suicidality -Teratogenic in nonhuman primates with neural tube defects. Avoid in woman of child bearing age. A suppressed woman who becomes pregnant can continue on it, and it can be started after first trimester. -Decreases AUC of oral contraceptives -Dyslipidemia with elevation in LDL and TG -Skin rash -Potential for CYP450 drug interactions -Should be taken on an empty stomach (food increases absorption and toxicities)

183 NNRTI’s • Rilpivirine- RPV- Edurant – Pro: - Once daily dosing – Coformulated with TDF/FTC (Complera) and TAF/FTC (Odefsey) – Coformulated with DTG (Juluca) – Odefsey and Juluca are smaller than other single pill therapies – Compared to EFV: fewer discontinuations for CNS adverse events, fewer lipid effects, fewer rashes.

– Con: -Not recommended for HIV VL >100,000 or CD4<200 because higher rate of failure • Transmitted resistance more common than with PI’s and INSTI’s • Potential for CYP450 drug interactions • Meal requirement >390Kcal • Requires acid for absorption- so contraindicated with PPI’s, use H2 antagonists or antacids with caution • Depression and suicidality, but less than EFV

184 NNRTI’s • Doravirine – Pro: • available as an STR with DOR/TDF/3TC called Delstrigo • Can be taken with or without food • Generally well tolerated with few adverse effects • Compared in DRIVE-FORWARD study with DRV/r regimen and DOR had superior virologic suppression and less diarrhea, with lower rate of discontinuation. DOR also had lower rise in LDL and TG than DRV/r group.

– Con: • DOR is metabolized by CYP3A4 so should not be coadministered with strong CYP3A4 inducers and its levels may increase in presence of a CYP3A4 inhibitor. It is not a CYP3A4 inducer/inhibitor, like efavirenz is. • Low barrier to resistance and Y188 mutations confers resistance to other NNRTI’s except ETR. • DOR has not been compared directly to INSTI based regimens in trials

185 Characteristics of non-preferred NNRTIs

• Etravirine - ETR- Intelence – Twice per day – Dyslipidemia and lipodystrophy – Rash – Peripheral neuropathy – Hepatotoxicity – CYP450 metabolized, so drug interactions • Nevirapine- NVP- Viramune – High rate of rash. – Hepatotoxicity (may be severe and life-threatening; risk higher in patients with higher CD4 counts at the time they start NVP( >250F, >400M) – Inferior to EFV in studies – CYP450 metabolized, so drug interactions

18 6 12/2019 DHHS guidelines: Alternate Regimens in certain clinical situations

187 188 189 Considerations for Persons of Childbearing Age Updated results have shown that the prevalence of NTDs in infants who were exposed to DTG at the time of conception is lower (0.3%) than reported in the preliminary data, but still higher than in infants who were exposed to ART that did not contain DTG (0.1%).6,7

It is not yet known whether use of other INSTIs around the time of conception also poses a risk of NTDs

Thus far, based on data collected from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry on Raltegravir, no case of NTD has been reported. Among those receiving RAL during pregnancy, the rate of fetal malformations is within the expected range for pregnancy outcomes in the United States.

To enable individuals of childbearing potential to make informed decisions, providers should discuss the benefits and risks of using DTG around the time of conception, including the low risk of NTDs and the relative lack of information on the safety of using other commonly prescribed ARV drugs, including other INSTIs, around the time of conception

For individuals who are trying to conceive, the Panel recommends initiating one of the following regimens, which are designated as Preferred regimens during pregnancy in the Perinatal Guidelines: RAL, ATV/r or DRV/r plus TDF/FTC, TDF/3TC, or ABC/3TC.

For individuals who are not planning to conceive but who are sexually active and not using contraception, consider a regimen’s effectiveness and tolerability, the available data on potential teratogenicity, and the person’s preferences (e.g., low pill burden) when choosing among regimens recommended for initial therapy

For individuals who are using effective contraception, a DTG-based regimen is one of the recommended options; however, clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of using DTG with patients to allow them to make an informed decision (AIII). • An approach similar to that outlined for DTG should be considered for BIC-containing ART (AIII). • EVG/c should not be used during pregnancy because of inadequate drug concentrations in the second and third190 trimesters (AII). 191 • Pill box • Key chain canister • Set phone alarm for patient Ways to • Clinic pharmacist • Smart phone app improve • adherence service • APNH- uses Pharm Blue to provide meds in adherence Blister packs and delivers to patient with periodic check-ins

+ CCR5 antagonist- must do trofile test prior to use to determine if patient’s virus uses CXCR4

+ Dosed twice daily

+ It is a CYP 3A4 substrate, so dose must be adjusted when used with CYP3A4 inducers (rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) or inhibitors (fluconazole, cobicistat)

+ Side effects include diarrhea, nausea, depression, elevated liver enzymes

CCR5 antagonist

T cell surface 195 Ibalizumab (Trogarzo)

FDA approved in March 2019 to be used in combination with other antiretrovirals in adults with multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection. There is no cross-resistance with other ART classes.

A monoclonal antibody directed against CD-4 domain 2 and acts as a post-attachment HIV-1 inhibitor by interfering with steps required for the HIV to enter host cells. It is effective in CCR5 and CXCR4 tropic strains

By binding to domain 2, it does not cause immunosuppression, as the domain 1 is still available for CD4 binding of MHC molecules and therefore doesn’t interfere with CD4- mediated immune functions.

Administered IV every 2 weeks after an initial loading dose.

Adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, dizziness and fatigue

As a monoclonal Ab, it has no drug interactions.

196 197 (Rukobia) On July 2, 2020, the FDA approved 600mg fostemsavir tablets for treatment of people living with HIV who have failed other ART therapies due to multi-drug resistance or intolerance.

It is a gp 120 attachment inhibitor- by attaching to the gp 120 protein on the outer surface of HIV, it blocks HIV from attaching to the CD4 receptor on host cells.

It is a prodrug hydrolyzed to active drug called temsavir.

Of patients who had fostemsavir added to their failing ART regimen, 53% achieved viral suppression at 24 weeks, and 60% at 96 weeks.

Nausea was most common adverse effect

Cannot be used with many oral contraceptives or with P450 CYP 3A inducers such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and rifampin.
