Possible Targets to Prevent Transmission of HIV McGowan. Biologicals. 2006

Pro2000 (Entry Inhibitor) 7 site study in Africa (6)/US (1) 3099 women; 20.4 months; 93.6% retention Pro2000 vs. placebo HR 0.7 (95%CI ; p=0.10) Pro2000 vs. no gel HR 0.7 (95%CI ; p=0.06) Excluding time off product, Pro2000 reduced HIV incidence 36% (p=0.04) Abdool Karim CROI 2009, LB48

Microbicides in Clinical Trials Pro2000 study by British Microbicide Development Program –0.5% Pro2000 ongoing –2% Pro2000 arm closed by DSMB 2/2008 Microbicides containing antiretrovirals; topical Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis –Tenofovir 1% gel (HPTN 059, CAPRISA, VOICE) –TMC 120 (IPM) –UC-781 (CONRAD)

Case 1 Summary: HIV Prevention/Microbicides 18 y.o. HIV-seronegative woman has recently been treated for gonorrhea –ABCs and possibly other interventions such as female condom may reduce HIV risk –Early microbicide trials with non-specific agents generally not successful, but… –Recent experience with Pro2000 encouraging –Results of trials with antiretroviral-containing microbicides are eagerly anticipated

Case 2: Male Circumcision and the Risk of HIV Acquisition in Women An HIV-seropositive man is seeking circumcision. –Will circumcision influence the risk of HIV transmission to his wife?

Circumcision and HIV Transmission To Women Quinn N Engl J Med 2000

Circumcision of HIV-positive Men Wawer. CROI 2008, 33LB Rakai study of 124 discordant couples with uninfected female partner Female partners tested every 6 months

Circumcision in HIV-positive Men Reduced wound healing at 30 days compared to HIV-negative (73% vs. 83%, P<0.001) Less GUD in circumcised vs. uncircumcised arm of study (RR 0.48, 95% CI ) Incidence in female partners; 14.4/100p-y in circumcised vs. 9.1/100p-y in uncircumcised (RR 1.59, 95%CI )

Transmission by Timing of Wound Healing and Resumption of Sex When sex resumedIntervention Arm Transmitted/N% Before complete healing5/1827.8% At or after complete healing6/639.5% Early vs. laterRR=2.92 ( ) P=0.06

Case 2 Summary: Male Circumcision and Risk of HIV Acquisition in Women An HIV-seropositive man is seeking circumcision. Will circumcision influence the risk of HIV transmission to his wife? –Transmission from an HIV-positive man to an HIV-negative woman may be increased if sex is resumed before full wound healing –Condom use must be promoted, especially during the period of wound healing

Case 3: ART in Women 22 y.o. woman diagnosed with HIV during prior pregnancy. CD4=224cells/μL, HB=10g/dL, Ccreat = 100cc/min, other labs normal. On Depo Provera since first post-partum visit. –What other considerations should guide our decision about the first-line ART regimen for this patient?

Case 3: ART in Women 22 y.o. woman diagnosed with HIV during prior pregnancy. CD4=224cells/μL, HB=10g/dL, Ccreat = 100cc/min, other labs normal. On Depo Provera since first post-partum visit. She received single- dose nevirapine one year ago to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV during her first pregnancy.

She received single-dose nevirapine one year ago to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV during her first pregnancy. Which first-line ART regimen would you recommend: –A) Lopinavir/ritonavir + 2NRTI –B) Efavirenz or Nevirapine + 2NRTI –C) 3NRTI

Which first-line ART regimen would you recommend: –A) Lopinavir/ritonavir + 2NRTI –B) Efavirenz or Nevirapine + 2NRTI BUT… –C) 3NRTI

Consider Women’s History of Receiving Single Dose Nevirapine No Yes No * If no reproductive potential Yes

Response to Nevirapine Containing ART after sd-NVP for PMTCT 218 women starting ART after participation in a trial of NVP vs. placebo for PMTCT –106 placebo and 112 sd-NVP women 6 months post ART initiation, virologic failure 5% in placebo vs. 18.4% in sd-NVP; p=0.002 Within 6 months of sd-NVP –Failure 0% placebo vs. 41.7% sd-NVP; p<0.001 Over 6 months after sd-NVP –Failure 7.8% placebo vs. 12% sd-NVP; p=0.39 Lockman NEJM 2007;356:135

Archived Resistance after PMTCT Regimens SD NVP leads to archiving of resistant HIV in latent CD4+ cells in >8% of women 1 Use of additional drugs reduces but doesn’t eliminate development of NVP resistance 2,3 Resistance to other components of regimen –Postpartum 3TC resistance (15% of exposed women) associated with ~7-fold increased odds of 12-month virological failure in Cote d’Ivoire 3 1.Wind-Rotolo.

First-line Regimen Choice After SD Nevirapine Alive without Virologic Failure Week LPVr NVP Lockman. CROI Montreal February 2009

Case 3 Summary: ART In Women Consider history of sd-NVP when selecting first-line ART regimen in women –If women received sd-NVP within past 6 months, avoid all NNRTIs in first-line regimen –If women received sd-NVP >6 months prior to ART initiation, okay include NNRTI in 1 st line Recommendations evolving with emerging data Lamivudine resistance may also be an issue –Higher adherence independently associated with improved outcome regardless of regimen 1 1.
