clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Disappointing Results of PrEP in Women: FEM-PrEP and VOICE FEM-PrEP: Phase III study of oral TDF/FTC planned for 3900 high-risk women in Africa (2120 randomized) –Announced April 18, 2011, that study was ended early because of lack of efficacy –35 vs 33 new HIV infections in the placebo and FTC/TDF arms [1] –TFV blood levels that use was too low (< 40%) to assess efficacy –4 vs 1 patient with M184V/I in the TDF/FTC and placebo arms VOICE: Phase IIB placebo- controlled trial of > 5000 women in South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe [2] –Daily oral TDF; daily oral TDF/FTC; daily vaginal TFV 1% gel –DSMB stopped the daily oral TDF arm in September 2011 and the daily vaginal gel arm in November 2011, both for lack of efficacy –Daily oral TDF/FTC arm continues 1. Van Damme L, et al CROI 2012. Abstract 32LB. 2. These data are available in press release format only, have not been peer reviewed, may be incomplete, and we await presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed format before conclusions should be made from these data.
41
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Questions That Arise From These Data Why were there differences between these studies and the other TDF-based studies? –Adherence? –Penetration of drug in vaginal tissue? –But promising data on oral PrEP in women in Partners (TDF and TDF/FTC) and TDF2 (TDF) trials –Degree of HIV exposure? –Genital inflammation?
42
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients What Have We Learned? We have proof-of-concept that antiretroviral agents provide primary protection against HIV-1 Adherence to PrEP is critical for its effectiveness –Key component of new PrEP strategies and execution of future PrEP trials Biomedical prevention is behavioral We still have much to learn about biologic and behavioral factors that drive HIV-1 risk in women and how those may undermine PrEP benefits

clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients HPTN 052: Immediate vs Delayed ART for HIV Prevention in Serodiscordant Couples Cohen MS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2011;365: 493-505. Immediate HAART Initiate HAART at CD4+ cell count 350-550 cells/mm 3 (n = 886 couples) Delayed HAART Initiate HAART at CD4+ cell count ≤ 250 cells/mm 3 * (n = 877 couples) HIV-infected, sexually active serodiscordant couples; CD4+ cell count of the infected partner: 350-550 cells/mm 3 (N = 1763 couples) *Based on 2 consecutive values ≤ 250 cells/mm 3. Primary efficacy endpoint: virologically linked HIV transmission Primary clinical endpoints: WHO stage 4 events, pulmonary TB, severe bacterial infection and/or death Couples received intensive counseling on risk reduction and use of condoms
45
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients HPTN 052: HIV Transmission Reduced by 96% in Serodiscordant Couples Single transmission in patient in immediate HAART arm believed to have occurred close to time therapy began and prior to suppression of genital tract HIV Total HIV-1 Transmission Events: 39 (4 in immediate arm and 35 in delayed arm; P <.0001) Linked Transmissions: 28 Unlinked or TBD Transmissions: 11 P <.001 Immediate Arm: 1 Delayed Arm: 27 Cohen MS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2011;365: 493-505.
46
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients What Do These Results Mean for Others? Likely that ART prevents transmission in others, although –Only 2 couples from US in HPTN 052 –Other routes of transmission (needles, anal intercourse) and clades (HIV subtypes) may have different transmission biology –No protection for outside partnerships (28% of infections)

Are We Ready to Give PrEP to Men in the United States?
58
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Note: This is interim guidance CDC and other USPHS agencies are developing formal guidelines for the use of PrEP in MSM in the US Additional guidance for other populations will become available as data from newer studies are more fully analyzed CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
59
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Goals of CDC Interim PrEP Guidance CDC interim guidance reinforced: –TDF/FTC is the only proven effective PrEP regimen for MSM –Daily dosing of PrEP is the only proven effective regimen –Intermittent use efficacy unknown –PrEP efficacy was demonstrated with HIV testing and other prevention services –Until analyses complete from other PrEP trials, PrEP recommended only for MSM populations CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
60
Before Initiating PrEP: Risk Assessment
61
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Before Initiating PrEP: Risk Assessment Guidance applies only to MSM Components of CDC behavioral risk assessment –Risk-reduction measures (eg, condoms) not used or used consistently –Risk for HIV acquisition is high –Frequent partner changes –Partners with HIV-positive or unknown HIV status –Geographic setting with high HIV prevalence CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
62
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Will Men Be Interested in PrEP? After yrs of telling men not to get HIV because the medications are awful Messaging about safety and tolerability of FTC/ TDF is important Helping men decide whether they would likely benefit from PrEP is essential
63
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients CDC: PrEP Eligibility HIV uninfected –Antibody negative, immediately before starting PrEP –If patient has symptoms consistent with acute HIV infection, either wait for 1 mo and confirm HIV negative and/or test for acute HIV infection Adequate renal function –Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault) Additional recommended actions –Screen for hepatitis B infection –If HBV uninfected and susceptible → vaccine (MSM in US should be vaccinated against HBV) –If HBV infected, treat for HBV (potentially with FTC/TDF) –Screen and treat STDs CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
64
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Prescribing PrEP Coformulated FTC 200 mg/TDF 300 mg, 1 tablet daily No more than 90-day supply Renewable only if HIV testing confirms the patient remains HIV uninfected –Anticipate, at minimum, quarterly HIV testing CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68. Grant RM, et al. N Engl J Med. 2010;363:2587-2599.
65
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Counseling Continued behavioral risk reduction Importance of PrEP adherence –No data on intermittent, “event-driven” use Adverse events –Very well tolerated and safe –May experience mild nausea in first few wks
66
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Follow-up HIV testing –Every 2-3 mos; document negative result Evaluate and support adherence Continued risk-reduction counseling –Assess for STD symptoms at each visit –Screen asymptomatic patients every 6 mos Renal safety –Test creatinine after 3 mos on PrEP and annually thereafter CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
67
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Discontinuing PrEP HIV testing –If HIV positive, stop PrEP –Resistance testing –Establish linkage to HIV care –If HIV negative, risk-reduction support services If person has chronic hepatitis B infection –Check liver function tests (case reports of hepatitis flares after discontinuing FTC/TDF) CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
68
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients PrEP Safety PrEP with FTC/TDF or any other medication currently has no label indication –FDA currently considering application for an indication for FTC/TDF for PrEP Serious adverse events –Should be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch (www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch) CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68.
69
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients PrEP Reimbursement Public or private insurance may or may not cover the costs associated with PrEP –ADAP funds cannot be used to pay for PrEP Options being investigated –Likely to be influenced by FDA decision and/or CDC recommendations
70
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Unknowns Populations in which PrEP can be used effectively and safely –Long-term toxicity in HIV-negative person unknown Adherence –Long term –Intermittent use Resistance –Longer time between HIV tests –Persistence and spread of resistant virus, if occurs Behavior –How much will behavior change if PrEP is partially protective? –How much will that impact efficacy?
71
clinicaloptions.com/hiv PrEP and My Patients Summary: Prescribing PrEP Daily FTC/TDF shown to have moderate efficacy for HIV-1 prevention among MSM –High efficacy among those with high adherence –PrEP is a promising HIV prevention strategy for MSM Daily TDF and FTC/TDF safe and efficacious among heterosexual couples and young heterosexuals in Partners PrEP and TDF2 –Mixed results from other trials; more interpretation necessary Additional data forthcoming on oral FTC/TDF in women, and TDF in IDUs CDC and WHO guidelines forthcoming Providers should be prepared to do risk assessment, counseling, and prescribe for high-risk MSM Risk assessment and counseling tools to aid providers and prospective users are under development
