DHHS, IAS-USA Guidelines: Recommended Regimens for First-line ART Class DHHS [1] IAS-USA [2] INSTI BIC/TAF/FTC DTG/ABC/3TC DTG + (TAF or TDF)/FTC EVG/COBI/(TAF or TDF)/FTC RAL + (TAF or TDF)/FTC BIC/TAF/FTC DTG/ABC/3TC DTG + TAF/FTC Recommendations may differ based on baseline HIV-1 RNA, CD4+ cell count, CrCl, egfr, HLA-B*5701 status, HBsAg status, osteoporosis status, and pregnancy status Data are lacking for women of child-bearing age not using contraception IAS-USA now lists EVG/COBI/TAF/FTC and RAL + TAF/FTC as alternative regimens owing to their lower resistance barriers and, respectively, more drug interactions and higher pill burden [2] 1.

Why do the Guidelines Prefer the Integrase Inhibitors? Integrase inhibitors Protease inhibitors (DRV, ATV) Potency Potent (more) Potent Potent Time to suppression Fastest Not bad Not bad Resistance Convenience Tolerability / toxicity Low genetic barrier (1 st generation) High genetic barrier (2 nd generation) Once daily No food restrictions (except EVG/c) Well tolerated Neural tube defects in pregnancy? (DTG) High genetic barrier when boosted Once daily Taken with food GI intolerance Hyperbilirubinemia (ATV) Metabolic effects None CV risk, hyperlipidemia, increases bone toxicity of TDF Drug-drug interactions Few Many, need the booster Some NNRTIs (EFV) Low genetic barrier Once daily Taken at bedtime CNS intolerance, depression, suicidality Hyperlipidemia

Conclusions Integrase inhibitors have transformed the treatment landscape We have excellent drugs in the class (some are more excellent than others) A lot more to come
