S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Treatments: uridine, pravastatin, facial fat after switch, Niacin ER, buttock implants, Other: monitoring access programmes, Polypill, NVP and brown fat, heart disease Mechanisms: are fat loss and fat accumulation caused by a single process; nevirapine and brown fat Q&As throughout please Overview
S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Uridine - for people on AZT or d4T Pravastatin - showed fat return Niacin ER - no reduction in VAT Switch - RAVE analysis showed return of facial fat Buttock implants - first reports - not a simple process Treatments/Interventions
S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Randomised trial: 36g, 3x day for first 10 days of each month, for 3 ~£60/month 20 people on d4T- or AZT-regimens randomised to NucleomaxX or placebo Limb fat, total fat and intra-abdominal fat all inc. vs placebo and baseline (~ g) HDL fell (1.24 to 1.15mmol/). No effect on TG, lactates and insulin resistance (Sutinen et al. Abs 7) Study 2: 16 pts, 36gTID every other day for 16 wks - no∆ mtDNA in fat or PBMC, only pt and doc survey (MacComsey et al. Abs 82) Uridine (NucleomaxX)
S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November men on stable PI; TC>6.5 (median =7.6) 4 week dietary advice: randomised to PVS (40mg/day) or placebo for 16 weeks No change AUC cholesterol from baseline Modest changes from week 4 Total fat and limb fat both increase and % IAF decreased (Malon et al. Abs 23) Pravastatin

S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Sub-study (n=47) from UK RAVE study: switch from AZT or d4T to TDF (n=23) or ABC (n=24) 39/47 with facial LA at baseline; no reported benefit from pts in either arm Mean volume difference (3D scan) at wk 48 was +2539mm3 (both cheeks) and +0.36kg (limb fat change, DEXA) Correlation between increases in cheek and limb; no differences between TDF and ABC (Benn et al. Abs 8) Switch (RAVE)
S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November wk multi-centre open label study in 33 men with TG >200mg/dl (67% white) 500mg titrations every 4-6 weeks up to target 2000mg/day (n=23 reached 2000mg/day; 8 reached 1500mg/day) No reduction seen in VAT (not in abstract) Caution careful monitoring for glucose regulation and liver (Dubé et al. Abs 12) Niacin ER

S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Spanish plastic surgery dept Rarely reported at Lipo Workshops Report on 7 women Used silicone implants, placed inside muscle Satisfied by results but no with contrast to thin legs MRI scans for safety - will require replacement (Fontdevila et al. Abs 41) Buttock implants

Monitoring access programmes Monitoring side effects: harm vs safety Polypill - INSIGHT group (ld aspirin, lisinopril (ACE inhibitor to lower BP), hydrochlorithiazide (diuretic), pravastatin (cholesterol lowering). nevirapine and brown fat Risk of cardiovascular disease Other
S.Collins HIV i-Base UK-CAB November 2005 Reversal of fat loss also increased intra-abdominal fat (IAF - also known as VAT = visceral adipose tissue) Analysed lipoatrophy studies: MITOX (and ROSEY) - male, 72 weeks, symptomatic lipoatrophy, DEXA If limb fat increased, VAT tended to increase. If VAT decreased, limb fat tended to decrease. Different risk factors (Wand et al. Abs 3) Single mechanism?
