OBJECTIVES: Rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is important for individuals with high baseline viral loads, such as in primary HIV-1 infection (PHI). Four-drug regimens are sometimes considered; however, data are lacking on tolerability. We aimed to evaluate the tolerability of four-drug regimens used in the Research in Viral Eradication of HIV-1 Reservoirs (RIVER) study.
METHODS: At enrolment, ART-naïve adult participants or those newly commenced on ART were initiated or intensified to four-drug regimens within 4 weeks of PHI. Rapid start was defined as pre-confirmation or ≤ 7 days of confirmed diagnosis. Primary and secondary outcomes were patient-reported adherence measured by 7-day recall and regimen switches between enrolment and randomization, respectively.
RESULTS: Overall, 54 men were included: 72.2% were of white ethnicity, with a median age of 32 years old, 42.6% had a viral load of ≥ 100 000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL, and in 92.6% sex with men was the mode of acquisition of HIV-1. Twenty (37%) started a four-drug regimen and 34 (63%) were intensified. Rapid ART initiation occurred in 28%, 100% started in ≤ 4 weeks. By weeks 4, 12, and 24, 37.0%, 69.0%, and 94.0% were undetectable (viral load < 50 copies/mL), respectively. Adherence rates of 100% at weeks 4, 12, 22 and 24 were reported in 88.9%, 87.0%, 82.4% and 94.1% of participants, respectively. Five individuals switched to three drugs, four changed their regimen constituents, and two switched post-randomization.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, four-drug regimens were well tolerated and had high levels of adherence. Whilst their benefit over three-drug regimens is lacking, our findings should provide reassurance if a temporarily intensified regimen is clinically indicated to help facilitate treatment.
