RESUMEN
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.

The objective was to develop a method of HCV genome sequencing that allowed simultaneous genotyping and NS5A inhibitor resistance profiling. In order to validate the use of a unique RT-PCR for genotypes 1-5, 142 plasma samples from patients infected with HCV were analysed. The NS4B-NS5A partial region was successfully amplified and sequenced in all samples. In parallel, partial NS3 sequences were analyzed obtained for genotyping. Phylogenetic analysis showed concordance of genotypes and subtypes with a bootstrap >95% for each type cluster. NS5A resistance mutations were analyzed using the Geno2pheno [hcv] v0.92 tool and compared to the list of known Resistant Associated Substitutions recently published. In conclusion, this tool allows determination of HCV genotypes, subtypes and identification of NS5A resistance mutations. This single method can be used to detect pre-existing resistance mutations in NS5A before treatment and to check the emergence of resistant viruses while undergoing treatment in major HCV genotypes (G1-5) in the EU and the US.
