PG - 410-20 AB - OBJECTIVE: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase (NRTI) sparing is a favourable option for patients with NRTI failure or toxicity. METHODS: Patients judged to be failing NRTI therapy were enrolled in a single-arm, open-label study of indinavir/ritonavir (IDV/r) 800/100 mg twice a day (bid)+efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg once a day (qd). The primary endpoint was the change in time-weighted average HIV RNA from baseline. The initial 48-week protocol was extended to 96 weeks by a single amendment. Analysis was by intention to treat. RESULTS: Sixty-one patients (23 female) were enrolled in the study. Baseline median inter-quartile range (IQR) NRTI exposure was 4.4 (3.9-4.7) years; baseline median viral load was 4.09 log(10) HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (range 3.75-4.61 log(10) copies/mL); baseline median CD4 count was 169 cells/microL (range 60-277 cells/microL). The mean (SD) change in time-weighted average HIV RNA from baseline at 48 and 96 weeks was -2.1 (0.7) and -2.1 (0.8) log(10) copies/mL respectively, resulting in 87% and 69% of patients with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL. Sixteen per cent of patients permanently ceased therapy and 26% underwent temporary drug interruptions because of study drug-related adverse events. Fasted-lipid values rose significantly over the 96 weeks of study, as did median blood glucose and median serum creatinine levels. Twelve (20%) patients underwent IDV dose reduction, mainly because of nephrotoxicity (nine of 12 patients). Blood pressure values deteriorated following switch, but markers of nucleoside toxicity improved. CONCLUSIONS: IDV/r 800/100 mg bid+EFV 600 mg qd gave a potent, durable response in these NRTI failures and was reasonably well tolerated. However, we observed adverse effects on renal, metabolic and blood pressure parameters. Lower doses of boosted IDV might improve toxicity while maintaining efficacy, and this possibility warrants further investigation.
