Temporal trend of drug-resistance and APOBEC editing in PBMC genotypic resistance tests from HIV-1 infected virologically suppressed individuals. J Clin Virol 2023; 168:105551. [PMID: 37573167 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcv.2023.105551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed at evaluating the temporal trend of drug-resistance and APOBEC editing from HIV-DNA genotypic resistance tests (GRT) in virologically suppressed individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Major resistance mutations (MRM), genotypic susceptibility score (GSS) for the current regimen and APOBEC-related mutations (APO-M) were evaluated. Potential changes in trends of MRM and APO-M over-time were assessed and predictors of MRM detection or sub-optimal GSS (GSS<2) at HIV-DNA-GRT were estimated through logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Among the 1126 individuals included, 396 (35.2%) harboured at least one MRM (23.4% to NRTI, 18.8% to NNRTI, 7.7% to PI and 1.4% to INSTI [N=724]); 132 (12.3%) individuals showed a GSS <2. APO-M and stop codons were found in 229 (20.3%) and 105 (9.3%) individuals, respectively. APO-DRMs were found in 16.8% of individuals and were more likely observed in those individuals with stop codons (40.0%) compared to those without (14.4%, P<0.001). From 2010 to 2021 no significant changes of resistance or APO-M were found. Positive predictors of MRM detection at HIV-DNA GRT were drug abuse, subtype B infection, and a prolonged and complex treatment history. Perinatal infection and having at least 2 stop codons were associated with a current suboptimal regimen. CONCLUSIONS In virologically suppressed individuals, resistance in HIV-DNA and the extent of APOBEC editing were generally stable in the last decade. A careful evaluation of APOBEC editing might be helpful to improve the reliability of HIV-DNA GRT. Further investigations are required to understand how to apply the estimation of APOBEC editing in refining genotypic evaluation.

Abstract
Globally, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is a major health burden for which successful therapeutic options are still being investigated. Challenges facing current drugs that are part of the established life-long antiretroviral therapy (ART) include toxicity, development of drug resistant HIV-1 strains, the cost of treatment, and the inability to eradicate the provirus from infected cells. For these reasons, novel anti-HIV-1 therapeutics that can prevent or eliminate disease progression including the onset of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are needed. While development of HIV-1 vaccination has also been challenging, recent advancements demonstrate that infection of HIV-1-susceptible cells can be prevented in individuals living with HIV-1, by targeting C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5). CCR5 serves many functions in the human immune response and is a co-receptor utilized by HIV-1 for entry into immune cells. Therapeutics targeting CCR5 generally involve gene editing techniques including CRISPR, CCR5 blockade using antibodies or antagonists, or combinations of both. Here we review the efficacy of these approaches and discuss the potential of their use in the clinic as novel ART-independent therapies for HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
International guidelines recommend the use of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INI)-based regimens as first-line antiretroviral (ARV) in both naive and experienced HIV-infected patients. We analyzed a multicenter cohort of HIV-infected patients, both naive and experienced, starting an ARV, including an INI. Chi-square test and nonparametric tests were used to assess differences in categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to estimate the probability of maintaining the study drug and Cox-regression analysis to evaluate predictors of discontinuation. We enrolled 4,343 patients: 3,143 (72.4%) were males, with a median age of 49 years (interquartile range 41-55). Naive patients were 733 (16.9%), of whom 168 (22.9%) were AIDS presenters. Overall, 2,282 patients (52.5%) started dolutegravir (DTG), 1,426 (32.8%) raltegravir (RAL), and 635 (14.7%) elvitegravir (EVG). During 10,032 patient years of follow-up (PYFU), we observed 1,278 discontinuations (13 per 100 PYFU); 448 of them (35%) due to simplification and 355 (28%) to toxicities (98 for central nervous system toxicity). Reasons of discontinuation were different between INIs. Estimated probability of maintaining DTG at 3 and 4 years were 81.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 80.5-82.5] and 76.3% (95% CI: 73.9-78.7), respectively; RAL 61.6% (95% CI: 60.2-63.0) and 54.1% (95% CI: 52.7-55.5); EVG 71.6% (95% CI: 69.2-74.0) and 68.3% (95% CI: 65.3-71.3) (p < .001). At a multivariable analysis, being on a RAL-based ARV [vs. DTG, adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 2.9, 95% CI: 2.3-3.6, p < .001], a EVG-based ARV (vs. DTG, aHR 1.3 95% CI: 1.1-1.7, p = .049), and a peak HIV-RNA >500k cp/mL (aHR 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1-1.6, p = .006) predicted INI discontinuation. Our data confirm the good tolerability of INIs in clinical practice. Differences emerge between the three drugs in reasons for discontinuation.

Abstract
Background Characterizing the mutations selected by the integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) dolutegravir and their effects on susceptibility is essential for identifying viruses less likely to respond to dolutegravir therapy and for monitoring persons with virological failure (VF) on dolutegravir therapy. Methods We systematically reviewed dolutegravir resistance studies to identify mutations emerging under dolutegravir selection pressure, the effect of INSTI resistance mutations on in vitro dolutegravir susceptibility, and the virological efficacy of dolutegravir in antiretroviral-experienced persons. Results and conclusions We analysed 14 studies describing 84 in vitro passage experiments, 26 studies describing 63 persons developing VF plus INSTI resistance mutations on a dolutegravir-containing regimen, 41 studies describing dolutegravir susceptibility results, and 22 clinical trials and 16 cohort studies of dolutegravir-containing regimens. The most common INSTI resistance mutations in persons with VF on a dolutegravir-containing regimen were R263K, G118R, N155H and Q148H/R, with R263K and G118R predominating in previously INSTI-naive persons. R263K reduced dolutegravir susceptibility ∼2-fold. G118R generally reduced dolutegravir susceptibility >5-fold. The highest levels of reduced susceptibility occurred in viruses containing Q148 mutations in combination with G140 and/or E138 mutations. Dolutegravir two-drug regimens were highly effective for first-line therapy and for virologically suppressed persons provided dolutegravir’s companion drug was fully active. Dolutegravir three-drug regimens were highly effective for salvage therapy in INSTI-naive persons provided one or more of dolutegravir’s companion drugs was fully active. However, dolutegravir monotherapy in virologically suppressed persons and functional dolutegravir monotherapy in persons with active viral replication were associated with a non-trivial risk of VF plus INSTI resistance mutations.

Abstract
Background Switching antiretroviral regimens when human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viremia is controlled for a new regimen is challenging when there is the potential for prior nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) resistance. The objective was to study virologic outcomes after switching to dolutegravir compared with remaining on a boosted protease inhibitor (protease inhibitor/ritonavir [PI/r]) regimen in people with HIV (PWH) with prior documented virologic failure and/or exposure to mono/dual NRTIs. Methods We used the Quebec HIV Cohort including 10 219 PWH whose data were collected at 4 sites in Montreal, Canada. We included all PWH with documented virologic failure or exposure to mono/dual NRTI therapy who were virologically suppressed on a PI/r-based regimen for at least 6 months on or after January 1, 2014 (n = 532). A marginal structural Cox model analysis was used to estimate the effect of the switch to dolutegravir on virologic outcome compared with remaining on PI/r. The outcome was defined as 2 consecutive viral loads (VLs) >50 copies/mL or 1 VL >50 copies/mL if it occurred at the last VL available. Results Among 532 eligible participants, 216 (40.6%) had their regimen switched to dolutegravir with 2 NRTIs, whereas 316 (59.4%) remained on the PI/r with 2 NRTIs. The weighted hazard ratio for the effect of dolutegravir switch on virologic failure compared with patients whose regimen remained on PI/r was 0.57 (95% confidence interval, 0.21–1.52). Conclusions We did not find evidence of an increased risk for virologic failure after switching to dolutegravir from PI/r among patients with previous virologic failure or prior exposure to mono/dual NRTI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) resistance profiles and factors associated with resistance in antiretroviral-naive and -experienced patients failing an INSTI-based regimen in clinical practice. METHODS Data were collected from patients failing an INSTI-containing regimen in a multicentre French study between 2014 and 2017. Failure was defined as two consecutive plasma viral loads (VL) >50 copies/mL. Reverse transcriptase, protease and integrase coding regions were sequenced at baseline and failure. INSTI resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) included in the Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA genotypic algorithm were investigated. RESULTS Among the 674 patients, 359 were failing on raltegravir, 154 on elvitegravir and 161 on dolutegravir therapy. Overall, 90% were experienced patients and 389 (58%) patients showed no INSTI RAMs at failure. The strongest factors associated with emergence of at least one INSTI mutation were high VL at failure (OR = 1.2 per 1 log10 copies/mL increase) and low genotypic sensitivity score (GSS) (OR = 0.08 for GSS ≥3 versus GSS = 0-0.5). Patients failing dolutegravir also had significantly fewer INSTI RAMs at failure than patients failing raltegravir (OR = 0.57, P = 0.02) or elvitegravir (OR = 0.45, P = 0.005). Among the 68 patients failing a first-line regimen, 11/41 (27%) patients on raltegravir, 7/18 (39%) on elvitegravir and 0/9 on dolutegravir had viruses with emergent INSTI RAMs at failure. CONCLUSIONS These results confirmed the robustness of dolutegravir regarding resistance selection in integrase in the case of virological failure in routine clinical care.

Abstract
The latest class of antiretrovirals (ARVs), including integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), has been demonstrated to be effective for antiretroviral therapy (ART). Despite all the distinguishing characteristics of these drugs, including a high genetic barrier to resistance and lower toxicity than other ARVs, unfortunately, INSTI drug resistance mutations (DRMs) have occasionally been observed. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of DRMs associated with INSTIs among treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients. From June 2012 to December 2018, a total of 655 treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients enrolled in this cross-sectional survey. Following amplification and sequencing of the HIV-1 integrase region of the pol gene, DRM and phylogenetic analysis were successfully carried out on the plasma samples of patients who had a viral load over 1,000 IU/ml after at least 6 months of ART. Out of the 655 patients evaluated, 62 (9.5%) had a viral load higher than 1,000 IU/ml after at least 6 months of ART. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all of the 62 HIV-1 patients experiencing treatment failure were infected with CRF35_AD, and one of these patients (1.6%) was infected with HIV-1 variants with DRMs. The DRMs that were identified belonged to the INSTI class, including E138K, G140A, S147G, and Q148R. This survey shows that DRMs belonging to the INSTI class were detected in an Iranian HIV patient who has experienced treatment failure. Therefore, regarding the presence of DRMs to INSTIs in ART-experienced patients, it seems better to perform drug resistance mutation testing in HIV patients experiencing treatment failure before changing the ART regimen and prescribing this class of medication.

Resistance in patients failing integrase strand transfer inhibitors: a call to replace raltegravir with dolutegravir in third-line treatment in South Africa. Open Forum Infect Dis 2019; 6:ofz377. [PMID: 31433056 PMCID: PMC6786511 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofz377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Accepted: 08/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Data on integrase resistance patterns in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is scarce. We assessed genotypic drug resistance in 43 patients with virological failure on integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) containing regimens as part of the third-line treatment program in South Africa. Of the raltegravir (RAL) exposed patients 20/34 (59%) had ≥1 major INSTI mutation, including two (6%) with dolutegravir (DTG) cross-resistance. DTG resistance was detected in one out of four DTG-exposed patients. Replacing RAL with DTG may reduce the risk of INSTI mutations. We recommend DTG drug resistance monitoring when DTG is introduced at a larger scale in LMICs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current antiretroviral therapy is more effective and simpler than in previous times due to the development of new drugs with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles and the advent of single pill regimens with low toxicity that facilitate long-term adherence. The recent approval of the novel potent integrase strand-transfer inhibitor bictegravir (BIC) co-formulated with emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in a fixed daily dose pill, B/F/TAF, adds to the list of single-tablet regimens available to treat HIV infection. Areas covered: This review provides an overview of the pharmacological and clinical information obtained from MEDLINE/PubMed publications and the latest international conferences. Expert opinion: BIC is a potent antiretroviral with an improved resistance profile over previous integrase inhibitors. Its combination with the new tenofovir prodrug TAF and FTC creates an effective regimen B/F/TAF for treatment-naïve patients and for those switching from another successful combination. B/F/TAF's favorable pharmacokinetic profile, simple dose, low pill burden, and few drug-drug interactions or treatment-related adverse events, will make it one of the preferred regimens in the future.

Rapid Development of High-Level Resistance to Dolutegravir With Emergence of T97A Mutation in 2 Treatment-Experienced Individuals With Baseline Partial Sensitivity to Dolutegravir. Open Forum Infect Dis 2018; 5:ofy221. [PMID: 30568974 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofy221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2018] [Accepted: 08/30/2018] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
HIV integrase mutation T97A emerges after suboptimal therapy with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), but the contribution of T97A to dolutegravir resistance remains uncertain. Here we report >10-fold increase in dolutegravir resistance after the single addition of T97A in 2 individuals with prior INSTI resistance receiving dolutegravir salvage therapy.
