Prevalence and Severity of Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in People Living with HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy in the United States. (PubMed, Infect Dis Ther) - "In this large, real-world claims analysis, pDDIs between ART and non-ART medications were not uncommon in routine clinical practice. As the HIV population continues to age, systematic screening for drug interactions (particularly with comedications for chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease) and thoughtful, individualized ART selection may help mitigate interaction risk and support safe, effective long-term HIV management."

Rapid viral suppression using integrase inhibitors during acute HIV-1 infection. (PubMed, J Antimicrob Chemother) - "INSTI-based ART during AHI resulted in rapid and sustained viral suppression. Over 96 weeks, weight increased in the INSTI-based cohort but was similar to weight increase in a historical NNRTI-based AHI cohort."

Drug-Associated Acute Kidney Disease: Data From a World Pharmacovigilance Database. (PubMed, Cureus) - "Among the most notable medications collected, 8.3% were classified as "non-nephrotoxic," 16.7% as "potentially nephrotoxic," and 75% as "known nephrotoxic." Notable active ingredients included cobicistat + elvitegravir + emtricitabine + tenofovir disoproxil (IC025 8.7; ROR 786.96), inotersen (IC025 7.7; ROR 604.57), emtricitabine + tenofovir disoproxil (IC025 7.9; ROR 432.36), esomeprazole (IC025 6.8; ROR 184.23), and pantoprazole (IC025 6.3; ROR 109.86), with proton pump inhibitors dominating the top four positions among the most frequently involved medications. We also highlight the potential nephrotoxic role of less suspected medications. This study emphasizes the need to consider AKD as a condition potentially associated with iatrogenic etiology, highlighting various medications and their respective involvement in the various possible manifestations of AKD."

Safety and efficacy of switching to elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in treatment-experienced people with HIV: a multicenter cohort study. (PubMed, AIDS Res Ther) - "In our cohort, switching well-suppressed patients to E/C/F/TDF resulted in few virologic failures and was well tolerated. However, resistance to integrase inhibitors emerged in patients with virological failure."

Estimated changes in price discounts for tenofovir-inclusive HIV treatments following introduction of tenofovir alafenamide. (PubMed, AIDS) - "We estimated list and net prices for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) products Truvada, Complera, and Stribild, and their tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versions Descovy, Odefsey, and Genvoya. This strategy encouraged patients switching from Truvada to Descovy before the availability of generic Truvada. Conversely, Gilead offered lower discounts for Odefsey and Genvoya, which resulted into higher net prices compared to Complera and Stribild."

[VIRTUAL] Persistence of drug-drug interaction problems with contemporary antiretroviral therapy. The case of ergotism (IAS-HIV 2021) - "BACKGROUND: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of protease inhibitors (PI) based antiretroviral therapy (ART), especially if boosted by ritonavir, became a problem early on after its rollout, with increasing reports of harmful effects, resulting in a large and growing list of drugs and natural substances no to be used concomitantly. Adequate identification of ergotamine containing drugs, better counseling of patients and increased awareness in the health care personnel seem necessary to avoid its occurrence in a context of contemporary antiretroviral therapy."

(ECCMID 2021) - "Twenty nine patients used Triumeq®, nine Stribild® and one Genvoya® . Suppressive INSTI-STR is associated with a decrease of plasma concentration of MGO, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 . Since MGO is associated with age-related diseases, it is clinically relevant to further investigate MGO in (ageing) hiv infected patients."

[VIRTUAL] Efficacy and durability of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir plus darunavir in the treatment of resistant HIV: a multi-center chart review (ASHP 2020) - "Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir (EVG/c/FTC/TDF or EVG/c/FTC/TAF) and darunavir (DRV) in persons living with HIV. Due to the broad description of failure in this analysis, the efficacy of Stribild or Genvoya plus Prezista or Triumeq plus Prezcobix was difficult to assess. Although there were many treatment failures, the primary causes of failure included nonadherence, advanced immunosuppression, and changes in therapy due to drug interactions. Further prospective research with a larger sample size must be conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of this therapeutic combination."
