Recognize the importance of medication adherence and its clinical impact on HIV-infected patients 2.

Introduction ART Key Points HIV & AIDS >1.2 million Americans 1 in 8 are unaware Goals of HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) Achieve viral suppression Restore and preserve immunologic function Reduce morbidity and prolong duration/quality of survival Reduce viral mutations Prevent HIV transmission Medication adherence Same time everyday All or nothing Do not split regimen take together Pill boxes Alarm clocks Key chains Calendars Mobile apps Motivational interviewing Education CDC. HIV/AIDS. Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents. 7 10 Single Tablet Regimens (STRs) Barriers to Medication Adherence Pill burden Side effects Cost Perceived importance Stigma Denial Mental illness Substance abuse Psychosocial factors Homelessness Lack of social support Multi-factoral Positively Aware. http://positivelyaware.com 8 11 Multi-Tablet Regimens (MTRs) Presence of viral mutations leading to medication resistance Formulary issues (hospital or department of corrections) Patient specific characteristics (i.e. renal function) Drug intolerance Drug-drug interactions Medication Adherence HIV medication adherence goal 95% 99 patients utilizing computerized caps Based on one type of therapy that was MTR Based on now obsolete therapy 9 Paterson DL, et. al.

First FDA-Approved STR 2006 Atripla Current Practice Atripla Currently alternative therapy CNS effects: strange vivid dreams, dizziness, drowsiness Current data: Lacking on the comparative effectiveness of newer formulated STRs compared with MTRs 13 Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents. 16 Since the Approval of Atripla Study Questions STRs have been associated with: Reduced pill burden Improved medication adherence Higher patient satisfaction Virologic suppression Fewer hospitalization Reducing healthcare costs 1. What adherence threshold is associated with viral suppression? 2. Do STRs still improve medication adherence and viral suppression compared to MTRs? Paterson DL, et. al.

Study Aims Objective: examine the clinical outcomes of fixed-dose, single tablet regimens compared to multi-tablet regimens in HIV-infected individuals Clinical hypothesis: whether HIV-infected individuals taking STR antiretroviral therapy experience better clinical outcomes compared to individuals taking MTR Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) Utilizes pharmacy claims data Perfect adherence will be reported as 100% Possible for MPR to exceed 100% 19 22 Methods Single-center, retrospective, observational study OU Infectious Disease Institute clinic between 2011 and 2016 Disease parameters - baseline CD4 cell count, plasma HIV RNA, date of HIV diagnosis, co-morbidities Demographic - age, race, sex, HIV risk category, HIV treatment naïve or experienced, ART Methods Inclusion Criteria HIV-infected 6 months ART 4 viral loads (AUC) Exclusion Criteria Outside pharmacy Incarceration < 6 months ART < 4 viral loads 20 23 Statistical Analysis Descriptive statistics for patient demographics Medication possession ratio will be calculated to analyze refill claims data to assess patient adherence to antiretroviral therapy Viral load AUC estimates viral control over time Multivariate regression analysis examines the relationship between MPR and viral load AUC Marginal effects analysis examines the probability of achieving viral suppression with MPR levels Endpoints Primary MPR Virologic suppression Secondary Effects on MPR Gender Race/ethnicity Age Exposure risk factor(s) 21 24 4
Results & Conclusion Pharmacist Post-Test Assessment Phase I: Enrollment Phase II: Data Collection Phase III: Data Analysis 25 28 Hypothesis It is our prediction that patients receiving STR will demonstrate improved clinical outcomes such as superior medication adherence and will achieve higher rates of virologic suppression Clinical Outcomes of Single Tablet vs. Multi-Tablet Antiretroviral Regimens in HIV-Infected Individuals 26 Abstract #18 IRB Approved Jeannie Ong, Pharm.D., AAHIVP PGY2 HIV Pharmacotherapy Resident University of Oklahoma Oklahoma City, OK Pharmacist Post-Test Assessment 27 5
