gs-7340 and doravirine

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of switching highly treatment-experienced people with HIV (HTE PWH) from rilpivirine/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (RPV/FTC/TAF) plus dolutegravir (DTG) to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) plus doravirine (DOR). A pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was conducted to assess the potential interaction between BIC and DOR.. This open-label switch trial enrolled HTE PWH from a primary care private practice in the United States. Eligible participants were male, aged ≥45 years, with documented viral resistance to protease inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and/or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors but no resistance to RPV or DOR, and no K65R or T69 insertion mutations. Virologic suppression (≤50 copies/ml) while on RPV/FTC/TAF plus DTG for ≥6 months was required prior to enrollment. The primary endpoint of the study was virologic suppression (<50 and <200 copies/ml) at 48 weeks. Secondary endpoints included safety, tolerability, changes in body mass index (BMI), and identification of PK parameters of BIC and DOR.. Twenty males [median age: 65 years (range, 46-74), median time since HIV diagnosis: 37 years (range, 12-42)] completed the study. BIC/FTC/TAF plus DOR was well tolerated with no serious or treatment-related adverse events reported and no appreciable changes in BMI from baseline to Week 48. At Week 48, 100% of participants had <50 viral copies/ml. PK parameters for BIC and DOR ( n  = 10) were consistent with published data.. Switching from RPV/FTC/TAF plus DTG to BIC/FTC/TAF plus DOR was well tolerated and efficacious in HTE men aged ≥45 years with HIV.

HIV post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a prevention tool for individuals with a recent potential exposure to HIV. Doravirine has been available since 2019 in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivudine and has not been evaluated as a PEP. DOR/3TC/TDF is our department's most commonly prescribed PEP treatment since 2021. This study evaluates the completion rate of the DOR/3TC/TDF as compared to EVG/c/FTC/TAF for PEP, which was the regimen prescribed until 2020 in our hospital.This retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2020 and September 2021. The subjects included consecutively were adults who consulted for an HIV sexual exposure accident and for whom DOR/3TC/TDF in 2021 or EVG/c/FTC/TAF in 2020 was prescribed. The outcomes were the completion rate to the end of treatment (28 days), the seroconversion rate, and the description of side effects.During the study period, 311 people were included: 140 treated with DOR/3TC/TDF and 171 treated with EVGc/FTC/TAF. Considering subjects with a follow-up visit, the completion rate was 96.8% (90/93) in the DOR/3TC/TDF group, and 94.6% (123/130) in the EVG/c/FTC/TAF group (p-value: 0.53). The number of people lost to follow-up was nearly equivalent in both groups: 27.1% (38/140) in the DOR/3TC/TDF group and 23.4% (40/171) in the EVG/c/FTC/TAF group (p-value: 0.45). A side effect was described for 38% (36/94) in the DOR/3TC/TDF group, and 29.7% (38/128) in the EVG/c/FTC/TAF group. No cases of seroconversion were observed.DOR/3TC/TDF appears to have a similar safety profile to EVG/c/FTC/TAF. Due to its lower cost, it seems to be a treatment option for consideration in the context of HIV-exposure accidents.

Doravirine (DOR) concentrations and HIV-1 RNA were evaluated in genital fluids from adults with HIV on stable therapy who switched to DOR + FTC/TAF. High protein-unbound DOR concentrations were observed in both seminal plasma and cervicovaginal fluid. DOR + FTC/TAF maintained viral suppression in genital fluids in all but 1 participant.
