Objective: To assess the 24 month efficacy of a maternal short-course zidovudine regimen to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV-1 in a breastfeeding population in West Africa. Methods: Data were pooled from two clinical trials: DITRAME-ANRSO49a conducted in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina-Faso and RETRO-Cl, conducted in Abidjan. Between September 1995 and February 1998, consenting HIV-1-seropositive women were randomly assigned to receive zidovudine (300 mg) or placebo: one tablet twice daily from 36-38 weeks' gestation until delivery, then in DITRAME only, for 7 more days. Paediatric HIV-1 infection was defined as a positive HIV-1 polymerase chain reaction, or if aged greater than or equal to 15 months, a positive HIV-1 serology. Cumulative risks (CR) of infection were estimated using a competing risk approach with weaning as a competing event. Results: Among 662 live-born children, 641 had at least one HIV-1 test. All but 12 children were breastfed. At 24 months, overall CR of MTCT were 0.225 in the zidovudine and 0.302 in the placebo group, a 26% significant reduction. Among children born to women with CD4 cell counts < 500/ml at enrolment, CR of MTCT were similar, 0.396 in the zidovudine and 0.413 in the placebo group. Among children born to women with CD4 cell counts greater than or equal to 500/ml, CR of MTCT were 0.091 in the zidovudine and 0.220 in the placebo group, a significant 59% reduction. Conclusion: A maternal short-course zidovudine regimen reduces MTCT of HIV-1 at age 24 months, despite prolonged breastfeeding. However, efficacy was observed only among women with CD4 cell counts greater than or equal to 500/ml. New interventions should be considered to prevent MTCT, especially for African women with advanced HIV-1 immunodeficiency. (C) 2002 Lippincott Williams Wilkins.
