RESUMO

HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis trials with antiretroviral drugs have been variably successful. Even trials demonstrating the best efficacy leave room for improvement. Pharmacological data illuminate several sources of outcome variability, especially the impact of poor adherence, which is critical to manage PrEP in the clinic and to develop the next generation of PrEP candidates.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Confounding introduced by individuals' sexual risk behavior is potentially a significant source of bias in HIV-1 prevention intervention studies. To more completely account for sexual behaviors when assessing the efficacy of the monthly dapivirine ring, a new longer-acting HIV-1 prevention option for women, we estimated per-sex-act risk reduction associated with product use. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from MTN-020/ASPIRE, a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled efficacy trial of the dapivirine ring that recruited HIV-uninfected, African women aged 18-45 years. With cumulative sex acts as the time scale, we used multivariable Cox regression with inverse probability of censoring weights to estimate HIV-1 risk reduction associated with a rate of dapivirine release indicative of consistent product use. RESULTS: Women in the dapivirine ring group (n = 1187) had an estimated incidence rate of 2.3 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8-3.1) HIV-1 acquisition events per 10 000 sex acts versus 3.6 (95% CI, 2.9-4.4) per 10 000 acts in the placebo group (n = 1187). Dapivirine release indicative of consistent ring use was associated with a 63% (95% CI, 33%-80%) per-sex-act HIV-1 risk reduction. CONCLUSIONS: These results support the efficacy of the dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV-1 prevention and help to inform decision-making for women, providers, and policymakers regarding product use.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: On-demand topical products could be an important tool for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention. We evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and ex vivo pharmacodynamics of a tenofovir alafenamide/elvitegravir (TAF/EVG, 20 mg/16 mg) insert administered rectally. METHODS: MTN-039 was a phase 1, open-label, single-arm, 2-dose study. Blood, rectal fluid, and rectal tissue were collected over 72 hours following rectal administration of 1 and 2 TAF/EVG inserts for each participant. RESULTS: TAF/EVG inserts were safe and well tolerated. EVG and tenofovir (TFV) were detected in blood plasma at low concentrations: median peak concentrations after 2 inserts were EVG 2.4 ng/mL and TFV 4.4 ng/mL. Rectal tissue EVG peaked at 2 hours (median, 2 inserts = 9 ng/mg) but declined to below limit of quantification in the majority of samples at 24 hours, whereas tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) remained high >2000 fmol/million cells for 72 hours with 2 inserts. Compared to baseline, median cumulative log10 HIV p24 antigen of ex vivo rectal tissue HIV infection was reduced at each time point for both 1 and 2 inserts (P < .065 and P < .039, respectively). DISCUSSION: Rectal administration of TAF/EVG inserts achieved high rectal tissue concentrations of EVG and TFV-DP with low systemic drug exposure and demonstrable ex vivo inhibition of HIV infection for 72 hours.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite highly effective HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) options, no options provide on-demand, nonsystemic, behaviorally congruent PrEP that many desire. A tenofovir-medicated rectal douche before receptive anal intercourse may provide this option. METHODS: Three tenofovir rectal douches-220 mg iso-osmolar product A, 660 mg iso-osmolar product B, and 660 mg hypo-osmolar product C-were studied in 21 HIV-negative men who have sex with men. We sampled blood and colorectal tissue to assess safety, acceptability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. RESULTS: The douches had high acceptability without toxicity. Median plasma tenofovir peak concentrations for all products were several-fold below trough concentrations associated with oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Median colon tissue mucosal mononuclear cell (MMC) tenofovir-diphosphate concentrations exceeded target concentrations from 1 hour through 3 to 7 days after dosing. For 6-7 days after a single product C dose, MMC tenofovir-diphosphate exceeded concentrations expected with steady-state oral TDF 300 mg on-demand 2-1-1 dosing. Compared to predrug baseline, HIV replication after ex vivo colon tissue HIV challenge demonstrated a concentration-response relationship with 1.9 log10 maximal effect. CONCLUSIONS: All 3 tenofovir douches achieved tissue tenofovir-diphosphate concentrations and colorectal antiviral effect exceeding oral TDF and with lower systemic tenofovir. Tenofovir douches may provide a single-dose, on-demand, behaviorally congruent PrEP option, and warrant continued development. Clinical Trials Registration . NCT02750540.

RESUMO

HPTN 084 demonstrated the superiority of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) compared with daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-emtricitabine (F/TDF) for HIV prevention in women. CAB-LA (600 mg) or placebo injections were administered 4 weeks after an initial dose (loading dose) and every 2 months (Q2M) thereafter; this is the approved regimen. Participants experienced both loading dose and Q2M delays during the trial. CAB concentrations were evaluated before a delay, at the visit associated with the delay, and the visit after a delayed injection was administered. During the blinded phase of the trial, 194 participants randomized to CAB-LA experienced at least one injection delay. Plasma CAB concentrations were maintained above the 4× protein adjusted 90% inhibitory concentration (4× PA-IC90; protocol-specific threshold) for all loading dose and 98% of Q2M delays when injections were administered up to 6 weeks late. The feasibility of shifting to an every 3-month (Q3M) regimen in females was interrogated via simulation studies using a population pharmacokinetic model. Q3M injections in both CAB-naïve (with a loading dose) and previously CAB-exposed females were predicted to yield higher steady-state exposures than in males on the approved Q2M regimen. Although there is observed forgiveness following an isolated delayed CAB-LA injection and simulations suggest acceptable CAB-LA exposures in women with a 600 mg CAB-LA Q3M regimen, empirical efficacy of this regimen has not been established, and transitioning to this dosing schema is not recommended. Future pharmacokinetic bridging studies are aimed at evaluating higher dose CAB-LA formulations administered less frequently. CLINICAL TRIALS: This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03164564.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: DREAM-01 was an open label, dose-escalation and variable osmolarity study to identify a tenofovir HIV-prevention douche/enema that could achieve protective colon tissue cell concentrations and high acceptability. To assess impact on sexual enjoyment, iso-osmolar and hypo-osmolar placebo douches were provided for at-home use before receptive anal sex (RAS). METHODS: Eighteen HIV-uninfected men who have RAS were administered three tenofovir douches at the research clinic: Product A, an iso-osmolar dose; Product B, an iso-osmolar escalation dose; and Product C, a hypo-osmolar escalation dose. Following Products A and C, participants were given a saline douche of matching osmolarity to use at home before RAS. Participants reported acceptability via a computer-assisted self-interview and in-depth interview in this mixed-methods study. RESULTS: All three products were rated acceptable by 17 (95%) of the participants. A majority (94%) would be likely or very likely to use any of the three products before RAS. Of those who used the saline douches before RAS and then rated their sexual enjoyment, most reported that their sexual enjoyment was not affected. Interview data revealed that participants found the product easy to incorporate into their regular routine, but would prefer to use more liquid for cleansing. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that the hypo-osmolar Product C, which also provides the most rapid delivery of tenofovir for HIV prevention, is acceptable for future safety trials and that our sample reports high likelihood of using a rectal microbicide douche for HIV prevention. Our findings support continued pursuit of a tenofovir rectal microbicide douche. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02750540.

RESUMO

Adherence drives efficacy in PrEP clinical trials. We compared drug concentrations and self-reported adherence in HPTN069/ACTG5305, a double-blinded, randomized trial of the safety and tolerability of candidate PrEP regimens that included maraviroc (MVC), tenofovir (TDF), and emtricitabine (FTC). Plasma drug concentrations and self-reported adherence by computer-assisted self-interview (CASI) were assessed at study weeks 24 and 48. Descriptive statistics and a generalized linear model were used to assess the association between selected demographic factors, self-report of daily medication adherence and plasma drug concentrations consistent with daily adherence. Among 718 paired observations from 370 participants, 43% (306/718) reported daily adherence by CASI, 65% (467/718) had drug concentrations consistent with daily adherence and 11% (81/718) had CASI responses that reported daily adherence despite having drug concentrations consistent with less-than-daily adherence. In adjusted analyses, participants who were assigned male at birth (aOR 1.42 [95% CI 1.02, 1.97]), older (5-year increments aOR 1.10 [95% CI 1.09, 1.11]), White (aOR 2.2 [95% CI 1.88, 2.56]), had advanced education (aOR 3.89 [95% CI 2.97, 5.09]), were employed (aOR 1.89 [95% CI 1.50, 2.40]), or partnered/married (aOR 2 [95% CI 1.72, 2.32]) were more likely to have drug concentrations consistent with daily adherence. Participants who were not employed (aOR 2.7 [95% CI 1.31, 5.55]) or who were single/not partnered (aOR 2.33 [CI 95% 1.25, 4.34]) were more likely to have drug concentrations that did not reflect daily adherence despite self-reported PrEP adherence. These findings support the need for ongoing adherence counseling in clinical trials of new PrEP regimens.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective renal replacement modality in people with HIV (PWH) with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), particularly those with residual kidney function. Data on pharmacokinetics (PK) of antiretrovirals in patients on peritoneal dialysis are limited. METHODS: A single-participant study was performed on a 49-year-old gentleman with ESKD on PD and controlled HIV on once daily dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg + tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg / emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg. He underwent serial blood plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cell, and urine PK measurements over 24 h after an observed DTG + FTC/TAF dose. RESULTS: Plasma trough (Cmin) concentrations of TAF, tenofovir (TFV), FTC, and DTG were 0.05, 164, 1,006, and 718 ng/mL, respectively. Intracellular trough concentrations of TFV-DP and FTC-TP were 1142 and 11,201 fmol/million cells, respectively. Compared to published mean trough concentrations in PWH with normal kidney function, observed TFV and FTC trough concentrations were 15.5- and 20-fold higher, while intracellular trough concentrations of TFV-DP and FTC-TP were 2.2-fold and 5.4-fold higher, respectively. TFV and FTC urine levels were 20 times lower than in people with normal GFR. CONCLUSIONS: In a single ESKD PWH on PD, daily TAF was associated with plasma TFV and intracellular TFV-DP trough concentrations 15-fold and 2-fold higher than those of people with uncompromised kidney function, potentially contributing to nephrotoxicity. This suggests that TFV accumulates on PD; thus, daily TAF in PD patients may require dose adjustment or regimen change to optimize treatment, minimize toxicity, and preserve residual kidney function.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In Uganda, fertility rates and adult HIV prevalence are high, and many women conceive with partners living with HIV. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) reduces HIV acquisition for women and, therefore, infants. We developed the Healthy Families-PrEP intervention to support PrEP use as part of HIV prevention during periconception and pregnancy periods. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study to evaluate oral PrEP use among women participating in the intervention. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We enrolled HIV-negative women with plans for pregnancy with a partner living, or thought to be living, with HIV (2017 to 2020) to evaluate PrEP use among women participating in the Healthy Families-PrEP intervention. Quarterly study visits through 9 months included HIV and pregnancy testing and HIV prevention counseling. PrEP was provided in electronic pillboxes, providing the primary adherence measure ("high" adherence when pillbox was opened ≥80% of days). Enrollment questionnaires assessed factors associated with PrEP use. Plasma tenofovir (TFV) and intraerythrocytic TFV-diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations were determined quarterly for women who acquired HIV and a randomly selected subset of those who did not; concentrations TFV ≥40 ng/mL and TFV-DP ≥600 fmol/punch were categorized as "high." Women who became pregnant were initially exited from the cohort by design; from March 2019, women with incident pregnancy remained in the study with quarterly follow-up until pregnancy outcome. Primary outcomes included (1) PrEP uptake (proportion who initiated PrEP); and (2) PrEP adherence (proportion of days with pillbox openings during the first 3 months following PrEP initiation). We used univariable and multivariable-adjusted linear regression to evaluate baseline predictors selected based on our conceptual framework of mean adherence over 3 months. We also assessed mean monthly adherence over 9 months of follow-up and during pregnancy. We enrolled 131 women with mean age 28.7 years (95% CI: 27.8 to 29.5). Ninety-seven (74%) reported a partner with HIV and 79 (60%) reported condomless sex. Most women (N = 118; 90%) initiated PrEP. Mean electronic adherence during the 3 months following initiation was 87% (95% CI: 83%, 90%). No covariates were associated with 3-month pill-taking behavior. Concentrations of plasma TFV and TFV-DP were high among 66% and 47%, 56% and 41%, and 45% and 45% at months 3, 6, and 9, respectively. We observed 53 pregnancies among 131 women (1-year cumulative incidence 53% [95% CI: 43%, 62%]) and 1 HIV-seroconversion in a non-pregnant woman. Mean pillcap adherence for PrEP users with pregnancy follow-up (N = 17) was 98% (95% CI: 97%, 99%). Study design limitations include lack of a control group. CONCLUSIONS: Women in Uganda with PrEP indications and planning for pregnancy chose to use PrEP. By electronic pillcap, most were able to sustain high adherence to daily oral PrEP prior to and during pregnancy. Differences in adherence measures highlight challenges with adherence assessment; serial measures of TFV-DP in whole blood suggest 41% to 47% of women took sufficient periconception PrEP to prevent HIV. These data suggest that women planning for and with pregnancy should be prioritized for PrEP implementation, particularly in settings with high fertility rates and generalized HIV epidemics. Future iterations of this work should compare the outcomes to current standard of care.

RESUMO

HPTN 083 demonstrated that injectable cabotegravir (CAB) was superior to oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) for HIV prevention in cisgender men and transgender women who have sex with men. We previously analyzed 58 infections in the blinded phase of HPTN 083 (16 in the CAB arm and 42 in the TDF-FTC arm). This report describes 52 additional infections that occurred up to 1 year after study unblinding (18 in the CAB arm and 34 in the TDF-FTC arm). Retrospective testing included HIV testing, viral load testing, quantification of study drug concentrations, and drug resistance testing. The new CAB arm infections included 7 with CAB administration within 6 months of the first HIV-positive visit (2 with on-time injections, 3 with ≥1 delayed injection, and 2 who restarted CAB) and 11 with no recent CAB administration. Three cases had integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) resistance (2 with on-time injections and 1 who restarted CAB). Among 34 CAB infections analyzed to date, diagnosis delays and INSTI resistance were significantly more common in infections with CAB administration within 6 months of the first HIV-positive visit. This report further characterizes HIV infections in persons receiving CAB preexposure prophylaxis and helps define the impact of CAB on the detection of infection and the emergence of INSTI resistance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis has been introduced in more than 70 countries, including many in sub-Saharan Africa, but women experience considerable barriers to daily pill-taking, such as stigma, judgement, and the fear of violence. Safe and effective long-acting agents for HIV prevention are needed for women. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of injectable cabotegravir compared with daily oral tenofovir diphosphate plus emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) for HIV prevention in HIV-uninfected women. METHODS: HPTN 084 was a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, superiority trial in 20 clinical research sites in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants were eligible for enrolment if they were assigned female sex at birth, were aged 18-45 years, reported at least two episodes of vaginal intercourse in the previous 30 days, were at risk of HIV infection based on an HIV risk score, and agreed to use a long-acting reversible contraceptive method. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to either active cabotegravir with TDF-FTC placebo (cabotegravir group) or active TDF-FTC with cabotegravir placebo (TDF-FTC group). Study staff and participants were masked to study group allocation, with the exception of the site pharmacist who was responsible for study product preparation. Participants were prescribed 5 weeks of daily oral product followed by intramuscular injections every 8 weeks after an initial 4-week interval load, alongside daily oral pills. Participants who discontinued injections were offered open-label daily TDF-FTC for 48 weeks. The primary endpoints of the study were incident HIV infection in the intention-to-treat population, and clinical and laboratory events that were grade 2 or higher in all women who had received at least one dose of study product. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03164564. FINDINGS: From Nov 27, 2017, to Nov 4, 2020, we enrolled 3224 participants (1614 in the cabotegravir group and 1610 in the TDF-FTC group). Median age was 25 years (IQR 22-30); 1755 (54·7%) of 3209 had two or more partners in the preceding month. 40 incident infections were observed over 3898 person-years (HIV incidence 1·0% [95% CI 0·73-1·40]); four in the cabotegravir group (HIV incidence 0·2 cases per 100 person-years [0·06-0·52]) and 36 in the TDF-FTC group (1·85 cases per 100 person-years [1·3-2·57]; hazard ratio 0·12 [0·05-0·31]; p<0·0001; risk difference -1·6% [-1·0% to -2·3%]. In a random subset of 405 TDF-FTC participants, 812 (42·1%) of 1929 plasma samples had tenofovir concentrations consistent with daily use. Injection coverage was 93% of the total number of person-years. Adverse event rates were similar across both groups, apart from injection site reactions, which were more frequent in the cabotegravir group than in the TDF-FTC group (577 [38·0%] of 1519 vs 162 [10·7%] of 1516]) but did not result in injection discontinuation. Confirmed pregnancy incidence was 1·3 per 100 person-years (0·9-1·7); no congenital birth anomalies were reported. INTERPRETATION: Although both products for HIV prevention were generally safe, well tolerated, and effective, cabotegravir was superior to TDF-FTC in preventing HIV infection in women.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: HIV Prevention Trials Network 084 demonstrated that long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB) was superior to daily oral tenofovir (TFV) disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC) for preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in sub-Saharan African women. This report describes HIV infections that occurred in the trial before unblinding. METHODS: Testing was performed using HIV diagnostic assays, viral load testing, a single-copy RNA assay, and HIV genotyping. Plasma CAB, plasma TFV, and intraerythrocytic TFV-diphosphate concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Forty HIV infections were identified (CAB arm, 1 baseline infection, 3 incident infections; TDF/FTC arm, 36 incident infections). The incident infections in the CAB arm included 2 with no recent drug exposure and no CAB injections and 1 with delayed injections; in 35 of 36 cases in the TDF/FTC arm, drug concentrations indicated low or no adherence. None of the cases had CAB resistance. Nine women in the TDF/FTC arm had nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor resistance; 1 had the nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor resistance mutation, M184V. CONCLUSIONS: Almost all incident HIV infections occurred in the setting of unquantifiable or low drug concentrations. CAB resistance was not detected. Transmitted nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor resistance was common; 1 woman may have acquired nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor resistance from study drug exposure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Daily dosing of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, with or without emtricitabine, has high efficacy in preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection when individuals are adherent. The target protective plasma concentration of tenofovir (TFV), however, is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to estimate the protective TFV plasma concentration. METHODS: Participant data from TFV-based daily oral and topical active arms of phase 3 trials (iPrEx, VOICE, and Partners PrEP) were pooled (n = 2950). Individual specific risk scores (low and high risk) of acquiring HIV, based on an earlier placebo analysis, were created. Longitudinal TFV pharmacokinetics (PK), HIV outcome, individual risk scores and the effect of sex at birth data were integrated and analyzed using non-linear mixed effects models. RESULTS: Around 50% of the individuals were estimated to be adherent, which differed from self-reported adherence (∼90%) and large variation between longitudinal adherence patterns were identified. Following oral administration, the estimated protective TFV trough concentration was substantially higher in high-risk females (45.8 ng/mL) compared with high-risk males (16.1 ng/mL) and to low-risk individuals (∼7.5 ng/mL). Dosing simulations indicated that high-risk women require full adherence to maintain protective levels. CONCLUSIONS: Using the largest PK-HIV outcome database to date, we developed a population adherence-PK-risk-outcome model. Our results indicate that high-risk females need higher levels of plasma TFV to achieve HIV protection compared with males. HIV protection exceeds 90% in all populations if daily adherence is achieved.

RESUMO

Data to inform behaviorally congruent delivery of rectal microbicides as lubricants are scant. Dapivirine (DPV) is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor which has been demonstrated to be well-tolerated and efficacious in multiple clinical trials when used in a vaginal ring formulation. DPV gel administered rectally with an applicator was found to be well-tolerated in a phase 1 clinical trial. MTN-033, a single site, open label, sequence randomized, crossover study, enrolled HIV-negative men to receive 0.05% DPV gel intrarectally using an applicator (2.5 g) and self-administered on an artificial phallus as lubricant (up to 10 g). The study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (in plasma, rectal fluid, and mucosal rectal tissue), safety, acceptability, and pharmacodynamics of DPV gel when applied rectally. Statistical comparisons between methods of application were performed using mixed effects models or Wilcoxon's signed rank tests. Sixteen participants used DPV gel by applicator and 15/16 participants used gel as lubricant (mean, 1.8 g; SD, 0.8). DPV plasma AUC0-24h after use as lubricant was estimated to be 0.41 times the AUC0-24h (95% CI 0.24, 0.88) after use with applicator. While DPV was quantifiable in plasma and luminal fluid, it was not quantifiable in tissue for both applicator and as lubricant administration. No related adverse events (AE) were reported, and 15/15 participants felt the gel was easy to use. Evidence of local delivery and systemic absorption of DPV when dosed as an anal lubricant supports the feasibility and potential for development of lubricant-delivered rectal microbicides. There were no safety concerns associated with use of DPV gel and participants reported finding it easy to use. However, lower DPV exposure in plasma and lack of quantifiable DPV in rectal tissue indicate that higher potency, concentration, and longer half-life antiretrovirals with optimized formulations will be needed to achieve protective tissue concentrations.

RESUMO

HIV topical microbicides are products with anti-HIV activity, generally incorporating a direct-acting antiretroviral agent, that when applied to the vagina or rectum have the potential to prevent the sexual acquisition of HIV in women and men. Topical microbicides may meet the prevention needs of individuals and groups for whom oral daily forms of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have not been acceptable. Microbicides can provide personal control over HIV prevention and offer the possibility of discreet use, qualities that may be particularly important for receptive partners in sexual relationships such as women and transgender women and men, who together account for the clear majority of new HIV infections worldwide. Although the promise of such a product emerged nearly three decades ago, proof of concept has been demonstrated only within the last decade. A robust pipeline of microbicidal gels, films, inserts, and rings has been evaluated in multiple studies among at-risk women and men, and refinement of products for ease of use, reversibility, and high safety is the priority for the field.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been associated with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD), but the bone effects of other non-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate candidate PrEP regimens are not well described. METHODS: The HPTN 069/ACTG A5305 study randomized 406 US cisgender men and transgender women, and 188 cisgender women at risk for HIV infection to one of four double-blinded regimens: (i) maraviroc; (ii) maraviroc + emtricitabine; (iii) maraviroc + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; or (iv) tenofovir disoproxil fumarate + emtricitabine. BMD was measured in a subset of participants at the lumbar spine (LS) and hip by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and 48 weeks. Percentage change in LS and hip BMD was compared between the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate- and non-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing arms by Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and multiple linear regression adjusting for sex, race and baseline BMI. RESULTS: At baseline (n = 307), the median age was 33 years, 56% male and 43% black. At the hip, the median percentage change in BMD at 48 weeks was -1.05% in the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate arms and 0.0% in the non-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate arms (between group P = 0.001). No interaction by sex was observed. The median percentage change in LS BMD was not different between arms. CONCLUSIONS: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing PrEP was associated with significantly greater bone loss compared with maraviroc ± emtricitabine PrEP at the hip, but not the LS. The BMD changes at the hip were similar in magnitude in men and women.

RESUMO

AIMS: Transgender women (TGW) have been underrepresented in trials and use gender-affirming hormonal therapies (GAHT) that may alter renal function by significantly increasing creatinine clearance. Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models and simulations would aid in understanding potential differences in emtricitabine/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (F/TDF) parent-metabolite concentrations in TGW on GAHT when compared to cisgender men (CGM) not exposed to GAHT. METHODS: Pharmacokinetic (PK) data from a Phase 1, open-label clinical trial with directly observed therapy of daily F/TDF consisting of 8 TGW and 8 CGM was utilized for model building. PopPK analysis was performed using nonlinear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM 7.5.0). Covariates of body weight, creatinine clearance, and gender were evaluated. Final models were subjected to Monte Carlo simulations to compare drug exposure following once daily and on-demand (IPERGAY 2 + 1 + 1) dosing of F/TDF. RESULTS: Tenofovir (TFV) and emtricitabine PK were best described by a 2-compartment model, first-order absorption/elimination with absorption lag time. Parent models were linked to their metabolites by first order formation and elimination. Creatinine clearance was a significant covariate influencing clearance in both models. Simulations demonstrated that at least 2, weekly 2 + 1 + 1 cycles of on-demand dosing in TGW on GAHT is necessary for TFV-diphosphate to reach similar exposure after the initial week of on-demand dosing in CGM not on GAHT. CONCLUSION: PopPK models of TFV, emtricitabine and intracellular metabolites in TGW were established. Dose simulations revealed that TGW should be treated for at least 2 weeks to have comparable exposures to CGM.

RESUMO

AIMS: Cabotegravir delivered as a long-acting intramuscular injection has shown superior efficacy to oral tenofovir-emtricitabine as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV. Cabotegravir pharmacokinetics (PK), like those of other long-acting depot preparations, exhibit variability between individuals and between injection occasions. The aim of this study is to describe the population pharmacokinetics of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA). METHODS: Using available PK measurements from 133 participants in the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 077 trial, we analysed CAB-LA PK data using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling to develop a population PK model. RESULTS: A two-compartment model with first order absorption best described the CAB-LA PK. The analysis identified between-occasion variability (BOV, i.e., differences in PK within one individual from one injection to the next) as a significant covariate affecting the absorption rate, with an estimated contribution of BOV to PK variability on the absorption rate (ka ) of 38.5%. Sex and body weight were identified as significant covariates influencing the absorption rate and apparent clearance of CAB-LA after intramuscular injection at various doses and frequencies. Male participants had 67% higher ka than female participants. Serially adding to the model body weight on clearance, sex on ka , and BOV on ka led to a decrease in the objective function value (OFV) of 24.4, 36 and 321.4, respectively. CONCLUSION: The public availability of this model will facilitate and enable a wide variety of future clinically relevant simulations to inform the optimal use of CAB-LA.

RESUMO

AIM: Cabotegravir long-acting (LA) intramuscular (IM) injection is being investigated for HIV preexposure prophylaxis due to its potent antiretroviral activity and infrequent dosing requirement. A subset of healthy adult volunteers participating in a Phase I study assessing cabotegravir tissue pharmacokinetics underwent serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess drug depot localization and kinetics following a single cabotegravir LA IM targeted injection. METHODS: Eight participants (four men, four women) were administered cabotegravir LA 600 mg under ultrasonographic-guided injection targeting the gluteal muscles. MRI was performed to determine injection-site location in gluteal muscle (IM), subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue and combined IM/SC compartments, and to quantify drug depot characteristics, including volume and surface area, on Days 1 (≤2 hours postinjection), 3 and 8. Linear regression analysis examined correlations between MRI-derived parameters and plasma cabotegravir exposure metrics, including maximum observed concentration (Cmax ) and partial area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) through Weeks 4 and 8. RESULTS: Cabotegravir LA depot locations varied by participant and were identified in the IM compartment (n = 2), combined IM/SC compartments (n = 4), SC compartment (n = 1) and retroperitoneal cavity (n = 1). Although several MRI parameter and exposure metric correlations were determined, total depot surface area on Day 1 strongly correlated with plasma cabotegravir concentration at Days 3 and 8, Cmax and partial AUC through Weeks 4 and 8. CONCLUSION: MRI clearly delineated cabotegravir LA injection-site location and depot kinetics in healthy adults. Although injection-site variability was observed, drug depot surface area correlated with both plasma Cmax and partial AUC independently of anatomical distribution.

RESUMO

HPTN 069/ACTG 5305 was designed to evaluate potential new PrEP regimens that included maraviroc, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and/or emtricitabine. The current analyses assessed antiretroviral (ARV) plasma concentrations in relation to sexual behavior in 224 cisgender men who have sex with men and 2 transgender women at risk for HIV. Poisson generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression were used to test for associations between self-reported sexual behavior, sociodemographic, behavioral variables, and study drug levels The median (IQR) age was 30 [25, 37] years old; 48.2% had completed college; 27.4% were Black and 21.7% Latino. At weeks 24 and 48, one third of participants reported condomless anal sex (CAS) in the prior month with more than one partner. CAS was associated with daily ARV drug use (χ2 = 12.64, p = 0.002). Older individuals and those with greater education were more likely to ingest ARV drugs daily (χ2 = 9.36, p = 0.009 and χ2 = 8.63, p = 0.013, respectively), while neither race nor ethnicity was associated with daily ARV drug use. Participants who reported recent condomless anal sex and/or advanced education had higher rates of daily ARV drug use. These data support the need for ongoing adherence counseling in clinical trials of new PrEP modalities.
