PG - 1760-1768 LID - 10.1093/jac/dkx062 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV is often poorly tolerated and not completed. Alternative PEP regimens may improve adherence and completion, aiding HIV prevention. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a maraviroc-based PEP regimen compared with a standard-of-care regimen using ritonavir-boosted lopinavir. METHODS: Patients meeting criteria for PEP were randomized to tenofovir disoproxil/emtricitabine (200/245 mg) once daily plus ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (Kaletra (R) 400/100 mg) or maraviroc 300 mg twice daily. The composite primary endpoint was completion of 28 days of the allocated PEP regimen without grade 3 or 4 clinical or laboratory adverse events (AEs) related to the PEP medication. RESULTS: Two hundred and thirteen individuals were randomized (107 to maraviroc; 106 to Kaletra (R) arm). Follow-up rates were high in both groups. There was no difference in the primary endpoint; 70 (71%) in the maraviroc and 64 (65%) in the Kaletra (R) arm ( P = 0.36) completed PEP without grade 3 or 4 AEs. Discontinuation of PEP was the same (18%) in both groups. There were no grade 3 or 4 clinical AEs in either arm, but more grade 1 or 2 clinical AEs in the Kaletra (R) arm (91% versus 70%; P < 0.001). Antidiarrhoeal medication use was higher in the Kaletra (R) arm (67% versus 25%; P < 0.001). There were no HIV seroconversions in the study period. CONCLUSIONS: The completion rate in the absence of grade 3 or 4 AEs was similar with both regimens. Maraviroc-based PEP was better tolerated, supporting its use as an option for non-occupational PEP.
