Real-life experience with bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in a large reference clinical centre

Juan Ambrosioni et al.

Summary: The use of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) in real-life clinical practice has demonstrated high rates of virological suppression and good tolerability, even in patients carrying resistance substitutions. Persistence on this regimen was also high at the 6-month follow-up mark.

Switching to Bictegravir, Emtricitabine, and Tenofovir Alafenamide in Virologically Suppressed Adults With Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Paul E. Sax et al.

Summary: The study findings suggest that B/F/TAF can replace DTG+ F/TAF or F/TDF for treating HIV-1 without compromising safety or efficacy, and is suitable for patients with NRTI resistance.

Real-world efficacy and safety of switching to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in older people living with HIV

Charlotte-Paige Rolle et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of switching older PLWH to B/F/TAF in real-world settings. The results showed that most patients maintained virologic control after switching to B/F/TAF, and a large proportion of patients avoided drug-drug interactions.

Impact of Integrase inhibitors and tenofovir alafenamide on weight gain in people with HIV

Jordan E. Lake et al.

Summary: Obesity is on the rise in people with HIV, with integrase inhibitors and tenofovir alafenamide being associated with weight gain. Understanding the mechanisms of how antiretroviral therapies lead to weight gain is crucial for informed treatment decisions, as this weight gain can result in significant medical complications for PWH.

Do All Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors Have the Same Lipid Profile? Review of Randomised Controlled Trials in Naive and Switch Scenarios in HIV-Infected Patients

Maria Saumoy et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) on lipids in naive and switching randomized controlled trials were explored and compared with protease inhibitors (PIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). The results showed that RAL, DTG, and BIC have superior lipid profiles compared with boosted-PI, efavirenz, and EVG/c in naive participants, and they are associated with a clinically significant decrease in lipoproteins in switching studies.

Case Report: Emergent Resistance in a Treatment-Naive Person With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Under Bictegravir-Based Therapy

Nicholas Chamberlain et al.

Summary: There have been few reported cases of treatment-emergent resistance to bictegravir in the literature. However, we describe a case of a recently diagnosed HIV patient who developed resistance to bictegravir due to M184V and R263K mutations while on therapy.

Weight Gain in Incarcerated Individuals Living With HIV After Switching to Integrase Strand Inhibitor-Based Therapy

Rachel N. Goldberg et al.

Summary: Post-marketing data have shown that the use of integrase inhibitors (INSTI) in antiretroviral therapy may lead to weight gain. In a study of virologically suppressed adult prisoners living with HIV, switching to or adding an INSTI regimen was associated with significant increases in weight and BMI. Future research should focus on interventions to prevent weight gain in this population.

Understanding the Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Virologic Failure in the Era of Undetectable Equals Untransmittable

Jayleen K. L. Gunn et al.

Summary: In New York, 47.9% of individuals diagnosed with HIV maintained consecutive viral suppression, with 54.3% sustaining suppression throughout the study period and 33.6% experiencing virologic failure. Among those who experienced virologic failure, 82.6% did so six or more months after consecutive suppression.
