Real-Life Impact of Drug Toxicity on Dolutegravir Tolerability: Clinical Practice Data from a Multicenter Italian Cohort

Arturo Ciccullo et al.

Summary: Dolutegravir (DTG) is one of the most commonly used Integrase inhibitors (INI) in antiretroviral therapies (ARV) for people living with HIV (PLWHIV). Our study found that DTG is well-tolerated in clinical practice, with a low rate of discontinuations. CNS toxicity is the main reason for DTG discontinuation, with the majority of interruptions occurring in the first year of treatment.

Late cART Initiation Consistently Driven by Late HIV Presentation: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in Taiwan from 2009 to 2019

Chun-Yuan Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigated the different statuses of HIV patients at the initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and their impact on all-cause mortality. The research found an increase in late initiation of cART since 2015, suggesting the need for intensified interventions to promote earlier cART initiation in Taiwan.

Overall Tolerability of Integrase Inhibitors in Clinical Practice: Results from a Multicenter Italian Cohort

Arturo Ciccullo et al.

Summary: International guidelines recommend the use of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INI)-based regimens as the first-line antiretroviral treatment for both naive and experienced HIV-infected patients. Our study confirms the good tolerability of INIs in clinical practice and reveals differences between the three drugs in reasons for discontinuation.

Predictors of Virological Failure and Time to Viral Suppression of First-Line Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Treatment

Ashima Pyngottu et al.

Summary: This study examined factors associated with treatment failure in HIV patients on InSTI-based regimens, finding that high baseline viral load and AIDS-defining events were linked to failure. CD4 cell counts between 200-500 and >500 cells/μL were protective. Risk factors for treatment failure were similar to those for older treatments.

Antiretroviral treatment outcomes among late HIV presenters initiating treatment with integrase inhibitors or protease inhibitors

G. Schuettfort et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of first-line antiretroviral therapy with integrase inhibitor or protease inhibitor-based regimens in patients with low CD4 cell counts and/or an AIDS-defining disease. Results showed no significant differences in discontinuation proportions or virological response at week 48 between late presenters starting first-line INI or PI-based ART regimens in a European cohort.

High prevalence of recreational and illicit drug use in German people living with HIV with a potential for drug-drug interactions with antiretroviral therapy

B. Funke et al.

Summary: Recreational drug use is higher in PLHIV in Europe, increasing the risk for drug-drug interactions and adverse events. The BESIDE study found that most PLHIV reported using nitrite inhalants, cannabis, while younger PLHIV prefer ecstasy, (meth-)amphetamine. A majority of PLHIV were informed about potential risks of drug abuse by doctors, but only a small percentage considered drug use in combination with ART a problem.

Changing Pattern of Chemsex Drug Use Among Newly Diagnosed HIV-Positive Taiwanese from 2015 to 2020 in the Era of Treat-All Policy

Chun-Yuan Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that chemsex drug use has remained prevalent in Taiwan from 2015 to 2020, with associations with multiple sexual partners and a history of sexually transmitted diseases. Additionally, drug-drug interactions between chemsex drugs and initial antiretroviral therapy remained stable during this period.

Neurotoxicities in the treatment of HIV between dolutegravir, rilpivirine and dolutegravir/rilpivirine: a meta-analysis

Anthony Allen Reeves et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse effects among patients treated with rilpivirine, dolutegravir and dolutegravir/rilpivirine, finding that the combination of dolutegravir/rilpivirine appeared to increase the risk of depressive symptoms. Despite the increase, the clinical significance is unknown and requires further study. Additionally, the neurotoxicity risk seems similar between dolutegravir, rilpivirine, and dolutegravir/rilpivirine antiretroviral therapy when compared with efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy.

Comparative safety review of recommended, first-line single-tablet regimens in patients with HIV

Arturo Ciccullo et al.

Summary: This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of different single-tablet regimens (STRs) for naive, HIV-infected patients. Integrase inhibitors (InsTIs)-based regimens are found to have fewer interruptions for adverse events and fewer drug-related adverse events, with tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/dolutegravir and lamivudine/dolutegravir being the most tolerable ones. However, darunavir or doravirine-based combinations may be considered as an alternative due to potential neuropsychiatric adverse events and metabolic issues.
