Abstract:
Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (InSTIs) are recommended for first-line treatment of persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We identified risk factors, including baseline minor InSTI resistance mutations, for treatment failure of InSTI-based regimens. Methods We studied time-to-treatment failure and time to viral suppression among 1419 drug-naive patients in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study. We performed Cox regression models adjusted for demographic factors, baseline HIV RNA/CD4 cell counts, AIDS-defining events, and the type of InSTI. In 646 patients with a baseline genotypic resistance test of the integrase, we studied the impact of minor integrase resistance mutations. Results We observed 121 virological failures during 18 447 person-years of follow-up. A baseline viral load ≥100 000 copies/mL (multivariable hazard ratio [mHR], 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 1.3–3.6) and an AIDS-defining event (mHR, 1.8; 95% CI. 1.1–3.0) were associated with treatment failure. CD4 counts between 200 and 500 cells/µL (mHR, 0.5; 95% CI, .3–.8) and & gt;500 cells/µL (mHR, 0.4; 95% CI, .2–.7) were protective. Time to suppression was shorter in lower viral load strata (mHR, 0.7; 95% CI, .6–.8) and in dolutegravir-based therapy (mHR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0–1.4). Minor resistance mutations were found at baseline in 104 of 646 (16%) patients with no effect on treatment outcome. Conclusions Factors associated with treatment failure on InSTI-based first-line regimen remained similar to those of older treatments, in particular high viral load and low CD4 counts.
