Tools to Achieve Treatment GoalsTools to Achieve Treatment Goals
Selection of ARV regimen Maximizing adherence Pretreatment resistance testing
December 200910 www.aidsetc.org
Improving AdherenceImproving Adherence
Support and reinforcement Simplified dosing strategies Reminders, alarms, timers, and pillboxes Ongoing patient education Trust in primary care provider
December 200911 www.aidsetc.org
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
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
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
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.
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)
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)
December 200917 www.aidsetc.org
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
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
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
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
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
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
December 200923 www.aidsetc.org
Potential Benefits of Early Therapy Potential Benefits of Early Therapy (CD4 count >500 cells/µL) (CD4 count >500 cells/µL) (3)(3)
Prevention of sexual and bloodborne transmission of HIV
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV
December 200924 www.aidsetc.org
Potential Limitations of Early TherapyPotential Limitations of Early Therapy (CD4 count >500 cells/µL)(CD4 count >500 cells/µL)
ARV-related toxicities Drug resistance Nonadherence to ART Cost

Recommendations for Initiating ART Recommendations for Initiating ART (2)(2)
Clinical Category or CD4 Count
Recommendation
CD4 count >500 cells/µL, asymptomatic, without conditions listed above
50% of the Panel favors starting ART; 50% views ART as optional
December 200927 www.aidsetc.org
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
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
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
December 200959 www.aidsetc.org
Treatment-Experienced Patients: Treatment-Experienced Patients: ART FailureART Failure
Causes of treatment failure include: Patient factors
(eg, CD4 nadir, pretreatment HIV RNA, comorbidities) Drug resistance Suboptimal adherence ARV toxicity and intolerance Pharmacokinetic problems Suboptimal drug potency Provider experience
December 200960 www.aidsetc.org
Treatment-Experienced Patients: Treatment-Experienced Patients:
ART Failure ART Failure (2)(2) Virologic failure: HIV RNA >400 copies/mL after 24 weeks, >50 copies/mL
after 48 weeks, or >400 copies/mL after viral suppression Immunologic failure:
Failure to achieve and maintain adequate CD4 increase despite virologic suppression
Clinical progression: Occurrence of HIV-related events (after ≥3 months on
therapy; excludes immune reconstitution syndromes)
December 200961 www.aidsetc.org
Treatment-Experienced Patients: Treatment-Experienced Patients: Virologic FailureVirologic Failure
Incomplete virologic response: In patient on initial ART, HIV RNA >400 copies/mL
after 24 weeks on therapy or >50 copies/mL by 48 weeks (confirm with second test)
Virologic rebound: Repeated detection of HIV RNA after virologic
suppression (eg, >50 copies/mL)
December 200962 www.aidsetc.org
Treatment-Experienced Patients: Treatment-Experienced Patients: Virologic Failure Virologic Failure (2)(2)
Assess drug resistance: Drug resistance test Prior treatment history Prior resistance test results
Drug resistance usually is cumulative – consider all previous treatment history and test results
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
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
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
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)
