Antiretroviral Drugs for Treatment and Prevention of HIV Infection in Adults 2022 Recommendations of the International Antiviral Society-USA Panel

Rajesh T. Gandhi et al.

Summary: Based on new data, recommendations are provided to clinicians on the use of antiretroviral drugs for the treatment and prevention of HIV, as well as on laboratory monitoring, care of aging individuals with HIV, substance use disorder, and new challenges such as COVID-19 and monkeypox virus infection. The initiation of antiretroviral therapy as soon as possible after HIV diagnosis is recommended, along with addressing barriers to care and ensuring access to medication and adherence support. Advances in treatment and prevention of HIV have improved outcomes, but challenges and opportunities still exist.

Emerging integrase strand transfer inhibitor drug resistance mutations among children and adults on ART in Tanzania: findings from a national representative HIV drug resistance survey

Doreen Kamori et al.

Summary: Despite the scale-up of HIV treatment and the introduction of dolutegravir in Tanzania, viral load suppression has not been fully achieved, possibly due to acquired drug resistance mutations. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and patterns of drug resistance mutations among HIV patients in Tanzania.

Sibongiseni Malinga et al.

Summary: We report a case of dolutegravir resistance in a 13-year-old male patient in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, two years after starting dolutegravir treatment. Poor adherence due to psychosocial issues is the most likely cause of resistance. This case highlights the importance of family support and close monitoring in treatment-experienced patients who switch to dolutegravir-based regimens and experience virologic failure.

The G118R plus R263K Combination of Integrase Mutations Associated with Dolutegravir-Based Treatment Failure Reduces HIV-1 Replicative Capacity and Integration

Meng A. Xiao et al.

Summary: This study found that the combination of G118R and R263K integrase mutations can result in high levels of drug resistance and may affect the virus's replicative capacity and infectivity. Moreover, this combination of mutations also increases the resistance of the virus to bictegravir, so it may not be effective after dolutegravir failure.

Dolutegravir-associated resistance mutations after first-line treatment failure in Brazil

Ricardo Sobhie Diaz et al.

Summary: Compared to previous reports, a relatively high frequency of integrase resistance-associated mutations (INRAMs) was found among patients failing first-line treatment with TL + D in the Brazilian public health system. Possible reasons for this discrepancy include delays in detecting virologic failure, patients inadvertently on dolutegravir monotherapy, transmitted resistance mutations (TDR), and/or infecting subtype.

Three-year efficacy of switching to dolutegravir plus lamivudine: A real-world study

E. Palmier et al.

Summary: This retrospective study examined 358 treatment-experienced patients with HIV who were receiving Dolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC) therapy. At 144 weeks, HIV-RNA levels were below 50 copies/mL in 77.4% of patients in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and in 95.5% of patients in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. A few patients developed mutations causing resistance to nucleosides and integrase. These findings confirm the long-term efficacy and tolerability of DTG+3TC in treatment-experienced individuals.

Evaluation of integrase resistance in individuals who failed a regimen containing dolutegravir in French and Italian clinical settings

Daniele Armenia et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate integrase resistance and its predictors in HIV-1 infected individuals who failed a dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy. Major resistance mutations and genotypic susceptibility score were analyzed. The results showed that INSTI resistance was low and mainly related to previous first-generation INSTI exposure. Monitoring integrase resistance is crucial to preserve the efficacy of INSTI class in the future.

Summary: Since 2015, DTG-2DR regimens have been used to treat 620 individuals, with a high success rate of viral suppression observed in the majority of patients. Only a small number of virological failures and side-effects were reported, with one patient developing resistance to integrase inhibitors. Overall, DTG-2DR demonstrates high efficacy in a real-world setting.

Integrase Inhibitor Resistance Mechanisms and Structural Characteristics in Antiretroviral Therapy-Experienced, Integrase Inhibitor-Naive Adults with HIV-1 Infection Treated with Dolutegravir plus Two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in the DAWNING Study

Mark Underwood et al.

Summary: In the phase IIIb DAWNING study, treatment-experienced adults who received dolutegravir showed emergence of treatment-emergent INSTI resistance-associated substitutions, with some participants developing mutations like G118R and R263K. These mutations were associated with a significant increase in dolutegravir resistance compared to baseline levels. Overall, the study highlights the complex pathway to dolutegravir resistance involving HIV-1 phenotypic changes and reduced viral fitness.

Efficacy and safety of dolutegravir or darunavir in combination with lamivudine plus either zidovudine or tenofovir for second-line treatment of HIV infection (NADIA): week 96 results from a prospective, multicentre, open-label, factorial, randomised, non-inferiority trial

Nicholas I. Paton et al.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of dolutegravir and darunavir, and determined which is more suitable for second-line therapy: maintaining tenofovir or switching to zidovudine. The results showed that dolutegravir is non-inferior to darunavir at 96 weeks, but has a higher risk of resistance. Tenofovir is superior to zidovudine in second-line therapy.

Summary: This study analyzed the clinical, epidemiological, and virological features associated with INSTI resistance diagnosed in Spain. The results showed that INSTI resistance is uncommon and associated with long-term infections, older age, and additional resistance to other ARV drug classes. The study also found that INSTI resistance is rare in newly diagnosed HIV-1 infections.

Mutations in the 3'-PPT Lead to HIV-1 Replication without Integration

Clemence Richetta et al.

Summary: This study discovered a drug-resistant virus to strand-transfer inhibitors with a mutation in the 3'-PPT region instead of the integrase gene. This mutation altered the reverse transcription process, leading to the accumulation of 1-LTR circular structures instead of linear DNA. The accumulation of 1-LTR circles enabled viral replication without integration of the viral genome.

Summary: This study reviewed the genetic mechanisms of resistance to Cabotegravir (CAB). The results showed that the most commonly selected mutations in patients developing virological failure while receiving CAB included Q148R, N155H, and E138K. The study also identified 14 drug resistance mutations significantly associated with reduced CAB susceptibility. The study highlights the importance of careful patient screening and close virological monitoring to prevent the emergence of drug resistance with the use of CAB.

Mechanistic Analysis of the Broad Antiretroviral Resistance Conferred by HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein Mutations

Yuta Hikichi et al.

Summary: The presence of mutations in the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) can lead to reduced susceptibility to multiple classes of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) and may contribute to virological failure in patients. The accumulation of Env mutations in individuals failing integrase inhibitor therapy suggests a possible mechanism for drug resistance development without mutations in target genes. Understanding how Env mutations affect drug resistance may influence therapeutic strategies for ARV-treated patients.

HIV-1 Subtype C Drug Resistance Mutations in Heavily Treated Patients Failing Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor-Based Regimens in Botswana

Kaelo K. Seatla et al.

Summary: Limited real-world outcomes data on treatment-experienced HIV-1 C patients failing Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor-based regimens were studied. Resistance to DTG was more common in patients exposed to RAL cART, and individuals with 4-class drug resistance mutations plus integrase T97 and E157Q mutations had worse outcomes. Frequent viral load monitoring and genotypic resistance testing are necessary for HIV-1 C diagnosed individuals with treatment experience.
