Nucleosides And Darunavir/Dolutegravir In Africa (NADIA): a Randomised Controlled Trial of Darunavir Versus Dolutegravir and Tenofovir Versus Zidovudine in Second-line Antiretroviral Therapy Regimens for the Public Health Approach in Sub-Saharan Africa

This trial evaluates options for second-line antiretroviral therapy in patients failing on a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and tenofovir (TDF)-based first-line regimen in the setting of the public health approach in sub-Saharan Africa (with assumed substantial nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) cross-resistance). The trial tests two hypotheses. Firstly that a regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) with two NRTIs is non-inferior to a regimen of ritonavir-boosted darunavir (DRV/r) with two NRTIs. Secondly that continuing an NRTI regimen of TDF and lamivudine (3TC) is non-inferior to switching to zidovudine (ZDV) and 3TC.
The trial is a parallel group, open-label, multi-centre, factorial (2X2) randomised, controlled trial. Patients will be randomised to either DTG or DRV/r with a second randomisation to ZDV and 3TC or TDF and 3TC. Treatment efficacy will be monitored by testing viral load (VL). Analyses will compare DRV/r with DTG; and ZDV/3TC with TDF/3TC by intention to treat analysis on the primary outcome parameter of plasma VL below 400 copies/ml at 48 weeks. Trial follow-up will continue to 96 weeks.

Dual-ribavirin-imprinted composite membrane based on MOFs self-assembly design for selective separation studies

Author: Wu, Yilin ; Wei, Maobin ; Liu, Han ; Diao, Zequan ; Zhang, Zhaohan ; Li, Yue

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess several advantages, including high porosity, a large sp. surface area, tunable structures, and significant adsorption capabilities.However, traditional MOFs materials are vulnerable to the influence of small mols. or structural analogs of the target within complex systems, limiting their ability to selectively sep. specific mols.In this study, we integrated the imprinting technique with MOFs to create imprinted MOFs that exhibit enhanced selectivity and adsorption properties.A bottom-up approach, mediated by polydopamine (PDA), was employed as a linker to improve hydrophilicity and binding activity, thereby establishing a robust and stable adhesion platform for integrated structures.Subsequently, double imprinting was utilized to selectively isolate ribavirin (RBV).The secondary imprinting process involved constructing an imprinted layer of MOFs with specific recognition sites on the surface of a composite membrane, thereby generating specific imprinting sites.We investigated the adsorption isotherms and kinetics, along with permeation selectivity and stability, achieving a desirable rebinding capacity of 61.31 mg/g and permeation selectivity factors of β_ACV/RBV = 12.94, β_LAM/RBV = 14.81 and β_AZT/RBV = 16.91, resp.The water flux of the imprinted membranes produced using the suggested dual-imprinting technique was 16.12 times higher than that of monolayer imprinted membranes.The adsorption and selectivity of molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) can be greatly enhanced by the specialized recognition sites in the double-imprinted membranes interacting with RBV more efficiently due to its hydrophilia.This work provides new theor. and practical insights into addressing the critical scientific challenge of the 'trade-off' effect between permeation flux and permeation selectivity of template mols. during the osmotic separation process of conventional MIMs.

Development and validation of a graphene quantum dot-based sensor for abacavir quantification via fluorescence quenching

Article

Author: Al Fatease, Adel ; Alqahtani, Taha ; Alqahtani, Ali ; Almrasy, Ahmed A

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a global health concern, and the development of effective methods for the detection and quantification of antiretroviral drugs is crucial for monitoring therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. Herein, we present a novel approach utilizing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for the determination of abacavir, a widely used nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in the treatment of HIV. The sensing mechanism was investigated through Stern-Volmer analysis, thermodynamics studies, and density functional theory calculations, which revealed the strong binding interactions between GQDs and abacavir via a static quenching process. Factors affecting the analytical performance, such as pH, GQDs concentration, and incubation time, were systematically optimized to achieve a linear detection range of 100-1000 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 17.49 ng/mL. The method was validated in accordance with ICH guidelines demonstrating excellent linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness and selectivity making it suitable for the quantification of abacavir in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. The method also demonstrated higher sensitivity and more environmentally friendly characteristics when compared to previously reported chromatographic techniques, showcasing the potential of GQDs as a superior alternative for the traditional detection approaches of pharmaceutical compounds.

Antiretroviral drug exposure in pregnancy and risk of congenital anomalies: a European case/non-case malformed study

Article

Author: Neville, Amanda J ; Hoareau, Jonathan ; Rissmann, Anke ; Dolk, Helen ; Pierini, Anna ; Leroy, Valériane ; Sommet, Agnès ; Rouget, Florence ; Saint-Lary, Laura ; Cavero-Carbonell, Clara ; Bielenska, Anna Latos ; Sichitiu, Joanna ; Garne, Ester ; Monier, Isabelle ; Damase-Michel, Christine ; O'Mahony, Mary ; Loane, Maria ; Perthus, Isabelle ; Tucker, David ; Beau, Anna-Belle ; Nelen, Vera

AbstractPurposeAntiretroviral drugs are recommended during pregnancy to achieve HIV viral suppression and reduce mother-to-child transmission. Congenital anomaly signals were reported after fetal exposure to antiretroviral drugs in several studies warranting further investigation. We aimed to evaluate the risk of congenital anomalies after fetal exposure to antiretroviral drugs using the European congenital anomaly registry data.MethodsA case/non-case study was performed, using the EUROmediCAT central database. All the congenital anomalies, exposed to any antiretroviral drugs, were included from 1995 to 2019. We explored each signal identified from the literature for associations between congenital anomalies and specific antiretroviral exposures. We compared antiretroviral exposure between the signal anomalies (cases) and all other malformed registrations (controls). Reporting odds ratio (ROR) and their 95% confidence intervals were estimated and adjusted for registry and maternal age.ResultsBetween 1995 and 2019, 173 cases of congenital anomalies were observed after any exposure to antiretroviral drugs. The signal previously identified in the literature between congenital heart defects and exposure to zidovudine was confirmed in the main analysis (aROR 3.66 [1.63–8.23]). Other signals identified in the literature were not confirmed, although two cases of hypospadias and two cases of limb defects were reported after zidovudine and atazanavir exposure, respectively. The signal detection analysis did not reveal any new signal after applying the Bonferroni correction.ConclusionsOur study does not reveal new signals but confirms the previously identified signal between congenital heart defects and fetal exposure to zidovudine. The physio-pathological hypothesis induced by zidovudine exposure should be explored in future studies.

Abacavir Use Linked to Increased Incidence of MACE

THURSDAY, Aug. 8, 2024 -- For patients with HIV in the Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) trial, use of abacavir was associated with an increased incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), according to a study presented at AIDS 2024, the 25th International AIDS Conference, held from July 22 to 26 in Munich. Carl J. Fichtenbaum, M.D., from the University of Cincinnati, and colleagues examined the role of prior and current use of antiretroviral agents (ART) on the development of MACE in a trial involving 7,769 participants aged 40 to 75 years on ART for at least 180 days. The median duration of ART use was 9.5 years, with variation by country. The researchers found that 22, 86, 49, and 47 percent of participants reported prior exposure to abacavir, tenofovir (TDF), thymidine analogs (AZT/d4T), and protease inhibitors (PIs), respectively. At study entry, 13, 61, 10, and 26 percent were using abacavir, TDF, AZT/d4T, and PIs, respectively. Entry regimens included two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) plus a non-NRTI, integrase strand transfer inhibitor, or PI (47, 25, and 19 percent, respectively). Both former and current use of abacavir was associated with a higher incidence of MACE in adjusted analyses including the baseline regimen. No association was seen for former or current use of other ART agents with MACE. "Former and current use of abacavir was associated with a higher incidence of subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events in the REPRIEVE trial," the authors write.

Exploratory Analysis Associates HIV Drug Abacavir with Elevated Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Large Global Trial

July 23, 2024 -- Current or previous use of the antiretroviral drug (ARV) abacavir was associated with an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with HIV, according to an exploratory analysis from a large international clinical trial primarily funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). There was no elevated MACE risk for the other antiretroviral drugs included in the analysis. The findings will be presented at the 2024 International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2024) in Munich, Germany. The Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) enrolled 7,769 study participants with HIV from 12 countries that found daily use of a cholesterol-fighting statin drug reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes by more than one third. The REPRIEVE study team also performed statistical analyses to assess whether select ARVs were associated with MACE risk among study participants, all of whom had low-to-moderate cardiovascular disease risk. The ARVs selected for analysis had previously been linked to cardiovascular risk and included abacavir, tenofovir, zidovudine, stavudine, and drugs from a class called protease inhibitors (PIs). All were taken as part of multi-drug ART regimens. Overall, 22% of study participants reported prior exposure to abacavir, 86% to tenofovir, 49% to zidovudine or stavudine, and 47% to PIs. At study entry, 13% of participants were taking abacavir, 61% were taking tenofovir, 10% were taking zidovudine or stavudine, and 26% were taking PIs. In the investigators’ analyses, participants with prior and current use of abacavir had a 50% and 42% elevated risk of MACE, respectively, compared to participants with no abacavir exposure. Former or current use of other ARVs was not associated with any change in MACE risk, and the co-administration of common ARV drug classes as part of an ART regimen did not impact the elevated MACE risk among participants with current or prior abacavir exposure. According to the authors, these findings align with previous studies that also identified an elevated cardiovascular disease risk associated with abacavir. They suggest that more research is needed to better understand the increased risk observed in this analysis, including how these findings should be considered in the context of known cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, diabetes and hypertension, for people with HIV.
