Use of CD4 Cell Levels to Guide Use of CD4 Cell Levels to Guide Therapy DecisionsTherapy Decisions CD4 count

The major indicator of immune function Most recent CD4 count is best predictor of

disease progression A key factor in decision to start ART or OI prophylaxis Important in determining response to ART

Adequate response: CD4 increase 50-150 cells/µL per year

CD4 monitoring Check at baseline (x2) and at least every

3-6 months

Page 12: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200912 www.aidsetc.org

Use of HIV RNA Levels to Guide Use of HIV RNA Levels to Guide Therapy DecisionsTherapy Decisions HIV RNA

May influence decision to start ART and help determine frequency of CD4 monitoring

Critical in determining response to ART Goal of ART: HIV RNA below limit of detection (ie,

<40-75 copies/mL, depending on assay)

RNA monitoring Check at baseline (x2) Immediately before initiating ART 2-8 weeks after start or change of ART Every 3-6 months with stable patients

Page 13: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200913 www.aidsetc.org

Testing for Drug ResistanceTesting for Drug Resistance

Before initiation of ART: Transmitted resistance in 6-16% of HIV-infected patients In absence of therapy, resistance mutations may decline over

time and become undetectable by current assays, but may persist and cause treatment failure when ART is started

Identification of resistance mutations may optimize treatment outcomes

Resistance testing (genotype) recommended for all at entry to care

Recommended for all pregnant women

Patients with virologic failure: Perform while patient is taking ART, or ≤4 weeks after

discontinuing therapy Interpret in combination with history of ARV exposure

and ARV adherence

Page 14: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200914 www.aidsetc.org

Drug Resistance Testing: Drug Resistance Testing: RecommendationsRecommendations

RECOMMENDED COMMENT

Acute HIV infection, regardless of whether treatment is to be started

To determine if resistant virus was transmitted; guide treatment decisions.

If treatment is deferred, consider repeat testing at time of ART initiation.

Genotype preferred.

Chronic HIV infection, at entry into care

Transmitted drug-resistant virus is common in some areas; is more likely to be detected earlier in the course of HIV infection.

If treatment is deferred, consider repeat testing at time of ART initiation.Genotype preferred.

Suboptimal suppression of viral load after starting ART

To assist in selecting active drugs for a new regimen.

Page 15: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200915 www.aidsetc.org

RECOMMENDED COMMENT

Virologic failure during ART

To assist in selecting active drugs for a new regimen.

Genotype preferred if patient on 1st or 2nd regimen; add phenotype if known or suspected complex drug resistance pattern.

If virologic failure on integrase inhibitor or fusion inhibitor, consider testing for resistance to these to determine whether to continue them.

Coreceptor tropism assay if considering use of CCR5 antagonist.

Drug Resistance Testing: Drug Resistance Testing: Recommendations Recommendations (2)(2)

Page 16: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200916 www.aidsetc.org

RECOMMENDED COMMENT

Pregnancy Recommended before initiation of ART or prophylaxis.

Recommended for all on ART with detectable HIV RNA levels.

Genotype usually preferred; add phenotype if complex drug resistance mutation pattern.

Drug Resistance Testing: Drug Resistance Testing: Recommendations Recommendations (3)(3)

Drug Resistance Testing: Drug Resistance Testing: Recommendations Recommendations (4)(4)

NOT USUALLY RECOMMENDED

COMMENT

After discontinuation(>4 weeks) of ARVs

Resistance mutations may become minor species in the absence of selective drug pressure

Plasma HIV RNA <500 copies/mL

Resistance assays cannot consistently be performed if HIV RNA is low

Page 18: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200918 www.aidsetc.org

Other Assessment andOther Assessment andMonitoring StudiesMonitoring Studies

HLA-B*5701 screening Recommended before starting abacavir, to reduce risk

of hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) HLA-B*5701-positive patients should not receive ABC Positive status should be recorded as an ABC allergy If HLA-B*5701 testing is not available, ABC may be initiated

after counseling and with appropriate monitoring for HSR

Coreceptor tropism assay Should be performed when a CCR5 antagonist

is being considered Requires plasma HIV RNA ≥1,000 copies/mL Consider in patients with virologic failure on a

CCR5 antagonist

Page 19: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200919 www.aidsetc.org

When to Start ARTWhen to Start ART

Potent ART may improve and preserve immunefunction in most patients with virologic suppression, regardless of baseline CD4 count ART indicated for all with low CD4 count or symptoms Earlier ART may result in better immunologic responses

and better clinical outcomes Reduction in AIDS- and non-AIDS-associated morbidity and

mortality Reduction in HIV-associated inflammation and associated

complications Reduction in HIV transmission

Recommended ARV combinations are considered to bedurable and tolerable

Page 20: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200920 www.aidsetc.org

When to Start ARTWhen to Start ART

Exact CD4 count at which to initiate therapy not known, but evidence points to starting at higher counts

Current recommendation: ART for all patients with CD4 <500 cells/µL

For patients with CD4 >500 cells/µL, 50% of the panel recommend ART, 50% consider ART to be optional

Randomized control trial (RTC) data support benefit of ART if CD4 350

No RTC data on benefit of ART at CD4 >350, but observational cohort data

Currently available ARVs are effective and well tolerated

Page 21: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200921 www.aidsetc.org

Potential Benefits of Early Therapy Potential Benefits of Early Therapy (CD4 count >500 cells/µL)(CD4 count >500 cells/µL)

Cohort study data show survival benefit if ART initiated at CD4 count >500 cells/µL

Earlier ART may prevent HIV-related end organ damage; deferred ART may not reliably repair damage acquired earlier Increasing evidence of direct HIV effects on various

end organs and indirect effects via HIV-associated inflammation

End organ damage occurs at all stages of infection

Page 22: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200922 www.aidsetc.org

Potential Benefits of Early Therapy Potential Benefits of Early Therapy (CD4 count >500 cells/µL) (CD4 count >500 cells/µL) (2)(2)

Potential decrease in risk of many complications, including: HIV-associated nephropathy Liver disease progression from hepatitis B or

hepatitis C Cardiovascular disease Malignancies (AIDS defining and non-AIDS defining) Neurocognitive decline Blunted immunological response due to ART initiation

at older age Persistent T-cell activation and inflammation

Recommendations for Initiating ART Recommendations for Initiating ART (3)(3)

“Patients initiating ART should be willing and able to commit to lifelong treatment and should understand the benefits and risks of therapy and the importance of adherence.”

Patients may choose to postpone ART Providers may elect to defer ART, based on

patients’ clinical and/or psychosocial factors

Page 28: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200928 www.aidsetc.org

Consider More Rapid Initiation of ARTConsider More Rapid Initiation of ART

Pregnancy AIDS-defining condition Acute opportunistic infection Lower CD4 count (eg, <200 cells/µL) Rapid decline in CD4 Higher viral load HIVAN HBV coinfection when HBV treatment is indicated

Page 29: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200929 www.aidsetc.org

Consider Deferral of ARTConsider Deferral of ART

Clinical or personal factors may support deferral of ART If CD4 is low, deferral should be considered only in

unusual situations, and with close follow-up When there are significant barriers to adherence If comorbidities complicate or prohibit ART “Elite controllers” and long-term nonprogressors

Treatment-Experienced PatientsTreatment-Experienced Patients

In clinical studies of ART, most patients maintained virologic suppression for at least 3-7 years

Appropriate initial ARV regimens should suppress HIV indefinitely, assuming adequate adherence

In patients with suppressed viremia: Assess adherence frequently Simplify ARV regimen as much as possible

Patients with ARV failure: assess and address aggressively

Page 63: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200963 www.aidsetc.org

Treatment-Experienced Patients: Treatment-Experienced Patients: Virologic Failure Virologic Failure (3)(3)

Management: Clarify goals: aim to reestablish maximal virologic

suppression (eg, <50 copies/mL) Evaluate remaining ARV options

Newer agents have expanded treatment options

Base ARV selection on medication history, resistance testing, expected tolerability, adherence, and future treatment options

Avoid treatment interruption, which may cause viral rebound, immune decompensation, clinicalprogression

Page 64: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200964 www.aidsetc.org

Virologic Failure: Changing an Virologic Failure: Changing an ARV Regimen ARV Regimen

General principles: Add at least 2 (preferably 3) fully active agents to an

optimized background ARV regimen Determined by ARV history and resistance testing

Consider potent RTV-boosted PIs, drugs with new mechanisms of action (eg, integrase inhibitor, CCR5 antagonist, fusion inhibitor, 2nd generation NNRTI) + optimized ARV background

In general, 1 active drug should not be added to a failing regimen (drug resistance is likely to develop quickly)

Consult with experts

Page 65: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200965 www.aidsetc.org

Regimen SimplificationRegimen Simplification

Changing a suppressive ARV regimen to: Reduce pill burden Reduce dosing frequency Enhance tolerability Decrease food and fluid requirements

Goals: improve patient’s quality of life, improve ART adherence, avoid long-term toxicities, reduce risk of virologic failure

Page 66: Comprehensive  Guideline Summary

December 200966 www.aidsetc.org

Regimen Simplification Regimen Simplification (2)(2)

Types of substitution Within class: substitution of a new agent or

coformulation Out-of-class: eg, change from PI to NNRTI or

agent from another class Reducing number of active drugs in ARV regimen:

simplification to boosted-PI monotherapy is not recommended

After simplification, monitor in 2-6 weeks (laboratory and clinical)
