Abstract
Whether or not the association between some antiretrovirals used in HIV infection and chronic kidney disease is cumulative is a controversial topic, especially in patients with initially normal renal function. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between duration of exposure to antiretrovirals and the development of chronic kidney disease in people with initially normal renal function, as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In this prospective international cohort study, HIV-positive adult participants (aged ≥16 years) from the D:A:D study (based in Europe, the USA, and Australia) with first eGFR greater than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m(2) were followed from baseline (first eGFR measurement after Jan 1, 2004) until the occurrence of one of the following: chronic kidney disease; last eGFR measurement; Feb 1, 2014; or final visit plus 6 months (whichever occurred first). Chronic kidney disease was defined as confirmed (>3 months apart) eGFR lower than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m(2). The primary outcome was the occurrence of chronic kidney disease. Poisson regression was used to estimate the incidence rate of chronic kidney disease associated with cumulative exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, ritonavir-boosted lopinavir, other ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors, or abacavir. Between Jan 1, 2004, and July 26, 2013, 23,905 eligible individuals from the D:A:D study were included. Participants had a median baseline eGFR of 110 mL/min per 1·73 m(2) (IQR 100-125), a median age of 39 years (33-45), and median CD4 cell count of 441 cells per mm(3) (294-628). During a median follow-up of 7·2 years (IQR 5·1-8·9), 285 (1%) of 23,905 people developed chronic kidney disease (incidence 1·76 per 1000 person-years of follow-up [95% CI 1·56-1·97]). After adjustment, we recorded a significant increase in chronic kidney disease associated with each additional year of exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1·14 [95% CI 1·10-1·19], p<0·0001), ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (1·20 [1·13-1·26], p<0·0001), and ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (1·11 [1·06-1·16], p<0·0001), but not other ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors or abacavir. In people with normal renal function, the annual incidence of chronic kidney disease increased for up to 6 years of exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, or ritonavir-boosted lopinavir therapy. Although the absolute number of new cases of chronic kidney disease was modest, treatment with these antiretrovirals might result in an increasing and cumulative risk of chronic kidney disease. Patients on potentially nephrotoxic antiretrovirals or at high risk of chronic kidney disease should be closely monitored. The Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Oversight Committee.
Highlights
Doravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection
DOR/3TC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults who have not received prior ARV treatment or who are virologically suppressed on a stable ARV regimen that can be appropriately replaced by DOR/3TC/TDF [4]
The primary endpoint in DRIVE-SHIFT was the proportion of participants with an HIV-1 RNA level of Ͻ50 copies/ml (U.S Food and Drug Administration [FDA] snapshot approach), with the primary comparison between ISG at week 48 and DSG at week 24
Summary
Doravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. The main objectives of the current analysis were to evaluate the consistency of DOR pharmacokinetics (PK) in the ISG population with that of the treatment-naive population described previously [9] and to evaluate the exposure-response relationship between different quantiles of DOR exposure and the primary endpoint in ISG participants to further inform on the efficacy and appropriateness of a switch to a DOR-based regimen.
