  • Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescent Living With
    Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV Developed by the DHHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents – A Working Group of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council (OARAC) How to Cite the Adult and Adolescent Guidelines: Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents. Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV. Department of Health and Human Services. Available at https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/sites/default/files/guidelines/documents/ AdultandAdolescentGL.pdf. Accessed [insert date] [insert page number, table number, etc. if applicable] It is emphasized that concepts relevant to HIV management evolve rapidly. The Panel has a mechanism to update recommendations on a regular basis, and the most recent information is available on the HIVinfo Web site (http://hivinfo.nih.gov). What’s New in the Guidelines? August 16, 2021 Hepatitis C Virus/HIV Coinfection • Table 18 of this section has been updated to include recommendations regarding concomitant use of fostemsavir or long acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine with different hepatitis C treatment regimens. June 3, 2021 What to Start • Since the release of the last guidelines, updated data from the Botswana Tsepamo study have shown that the prevalence of neural tube defects (NTD) associated with dolutegravir (DTG) use during conception is much lower than previously reported. Based on these new data, the Panel now recommends that a DTG-based regimen can be prescribed for most people with HIV who are of childbearing potential. Before initiating a DTG-based regimen, clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of using DTG with persons of childbearing potential, to allow them to make an informed decision.

  • Prep and Microbicides PIPELINE REPORT 2021
    Pipeline Report » 2021 PrEP and Microbicides PIPELINE REPORT 2021 The PrEP and Microbicides Pipeline By Richard Jefferys The scientific development of medical interventions can sometimes become fixated on potential one-size-fits-all “home run” solutions. In the realm of biomedical HIV prevention research, community advocates have helped push back against this model, emphasizing the critical importance of creating an array of effective options that people can choose based on their individual situation. The PrEP and microbicide pipelines reflect the pursuit of diverse approaches, including oral, injectable, and topical candidates. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a year of exceptional progress in HIV prevention research. The most significant news in microbicide development is that, in July 2020, the dapivirine vaginal ring received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for use by cisgender women aged 18 and over in high-burden developing countries “when oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is not used, cannot be used or is not available.” This was followed by the addition of the dapivirine vaginal ring to the World Health Organization (WHO) list of prequalified medicines, and in January 2021, the WHO issued a recommendation for the ring as “a new choice for HIV prevention for women at substantial risk of HIV infection.” The International Partnership for Microbicides (IPM) is now seeking regulatory approval for the ring in Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. For Eswatini and Lesotho, IPM is taking steps to make the ring available under national import license processes. An application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was submitted in December 2020.

  • Merck Announces Week 96 Data from Phase 2B Study Evaluating Islatravir in Combination with Doravirine in Adults with HIV-1 Infection
    NEWS RELEASE Merck Announces Week 96 Data from Phase 2b Study Evaluating Islatravir in Combination With Doravirine in Adults With HIV-1 Infection 10/8/2020 Treatment With Islatravir and Doravirine Maintained Viral Suppression and No Viral Resistance was Identied Company Also Presenting Phase 1/1b Results for MK-8507, a New Investigational Once- Weekly Oral HIV Agent; Company Advances MK-8507 to Phase 2 KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced Week 96 data from the Phase 2b trial (NCT03272347) evaluating the ecacy and safety of islatravir, the company’s investigational oral nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI), in combination with doravirine (PIFELTRO™), in treatment-naïve adults with HIV-1 infection. Week 96 ndings demonstrated that the combination of islatravir and doravirine maintained virologic suppression (as measured by the number of study participants achieving HIV-1 RNA levels <50 copies/mL, similar to DELSTRIGO™(doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate)), and the ndings were consistent with Week 48 results. Additional Week 96 data from the study show low rates of participants meeting the denition of protocol- dened virologic failure (PDVF) in both the islatravir plus doravirine and the DELSTRIGO treatment arms, and no participants in either arm met the criteria for resistance testing. Merck also announced results from Phase 1/1b studies for MK-8507, the company’s investigational once-weekly oral non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), which showed that the antiviral potency and pharmacokinetics of MK-8507 support further investigation for once-weekly oral administration as part of combination antiretroviral therapy.

  • Interactions of HIV-1 Capsid with Host Factors and Their Implications for Developing Novel Therapeutics
    viruses Review Interactions of HIV-1 Capsid with Host Factors and Their Implications for Developing Novel Therapeutics Shentian Zhuang 1,2 and Bruce E. Torbett 1,2,3,* 1 Department of Immunology and Microbiology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA; [email protected] 2 Center for Immunity and Immunotherapies, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, Seattle, WA 98101, USA 3 Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA 98105, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) virion contains a conical shell, termed capsid, encasing the viral RNA genome. After cellular entry of the virion, the capsid is released and ensures the protection and delivery of the HIV-1 genome to the host nucleus for integration. The capsid relies on many virus–host factor interactions which are regulated spatiotemporally throughout the course of infection. In this paper, we will review the current understanding of the highly dynamic HIV-1 capsid–host interplay during the early stages of viral replication, namely intracellular capsid trafficking after viral fusion, nuclear import, uncoating, and integration of the viral genome into host chromatin. Conventional anti-retroviral therapies primarily target HIV-1 enzymes. Insights of capsid structure have resulted in a first-in-class, long-acting capsid-targeting inhibitor, GS-6207 (Lenacapavir). This inhibitor binds at the interface between capsid protein subunits, a site known to bind host factors, interferes with capsid nuclear import, HIV particle assembly, and ordered assembly. Our review will highlight capsid structure, the host factors that interact with capsid, and high- throughput screening techniques, specifically genomic and proteomic approaches, that have been Citation: Zhuang, S.; Torbett, B.E.
