  1. Introduction and Program Overview Program Chair John G. Bartlett, MD Professor of Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore, MD

  2. Housekeeping Notes • Please be sure that you have a workbook. • Question cards are in your workbook. Please jot down your questions, and members of our staff will pick them up during the course of the meeting.

  3. Housekeeping Notes (cont’d) • We will be using an Audience Response System (ARS) to present a series of questions during the meeting • At slide prompts, please key in your answers to these questions on the keypads provided • Please return your ARS keypad at the end of the program • CME credit will be awarded online through the University of Kentucky website.

  4. Program Overview After completing this activity, clinicians will have gained a working knowledge of the most recent US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) guidelines for the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and be familiar with the results from the most recent study data on specific risks and benefits of specific ART with respect to the overall health of the patient. With this knowledge, clinicians will understand the benefits and risks of early ART initiation and be better able to choose optimal antiviral agents for their patients at the beginning of HIV treatment as well as manage long-term therapy, taking into account resistance, aging, and the whole health of the patient.

  5. Educational Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: • DISCUSS the changes to the DHHS guidelines regarding the initiation of ART and the risks and benefits associated with early ART initiation in HIV patients • EVALUATE the benefits and risks of the various ART regimens recommended by the latest DHHS guidelines and define the most important factors for choosing an appropriate ART in a treatment-naïve HIV patient • ASSESS the concept of stable therapy and describe the circumstances in which it is appropriate to switch a virologically suppressed HIV patient to a different ART regimen

  6. Educational Objectives (cont’d) • DEVELOP and implement strategies to identify and manage antiretroviral resistance in order to optimize long-term viral suppression • ASSESS the role of the recently FDA-approved ART agents in the management of HIV infection and develop strategies to integrate the new agents into current treatment paradigms • RECOGNIZE the role of comorbidities (eg, hepatitis B or C (HBV or HCV) coinfection, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia) when choosing appropriate ART regimens and articulate how specific ART choices interact with those comorbidities

  13. Paul E. Sax, MD Harvard Medical School Boston, MA Treatment Initiation: Who, When, and With What?

  14. Case Presentation A 49-year-old man with acute HIV infection diagnosed 2 weeks into illness; his CD4 cell count is 650, HIV RNA > 750,000 c/mL, resistance test pending; symptoms improving

  15. VOTE

  16. Audience Response Question Start therapy with efavirenz (EFV)-based regimen Start therapy with boosted PI-based regimen Defer starting therapy until resistance testing is back, then begin based on results Discuss pros/cons of treatment with patient; base recommendations on his preference Defer therapy; advise repeat HIV RNA and CD4 in 1-2 months Something else How would you manage this patient?

  17. Primary HIV Infection Guidelines IAS-USA “Although knowledge continues to evolve regarding the pathogenesis of primary HIV infection, no definitive evidence has emerged that supports routine initiation of antiretroviral therapy in primary HIV infection.” JAMA. 2008;300(5):555-570. DHHS “Providers should consider enrolling patients with acute HIV into a clinical trial …Since clinically significant resistance to PIs is less common than resistance to NNRTIs in treatment-naïve persons who harbor drug resistant virus, consideration should be given to using a PI- based regimen if therapy is initiated before drug resistance test results are available” DHHS Guidelines, January 2008.

  18. Case Presentation A 38-year-old female hairdresser, new HIV diagnosis Asymptomatic except for 0.5-cm posterior cervical nodes CD4 770 cells/mm3, HIV RNA 35,000 copies/mL. No resistance on genotype

  19. VOTE

  20. Audience Response Question How would you manage this patient? Treat Monitor

  21. Audience Response Question If you chose to treat, what was the primary reason? Prevention of AIDS-related complications Prevention of non–AIDS-related complications Reduction in risk of viral transmission Better tolerability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) with higher CD4 cell count Greater likelihood of achieving a normal CD4 and/or undetectable HIV RNA

  22. Audience Response Question If you chose not to treat, what was the primary reason? Daily medication adverse effects Long-term medication adverse effects Lack of data on improved outcomes when starting with high CD4 Poor adherence might lead to resistance, reducing future options Cost of therapy

  24. 2008 IAS-USA Guidelines: When to Start Recommendations for initiating antiretroviral therapy in treatment-naïve adults with established HIV-1 infectiona a. In nonpregnant adults only. For all individuals, regardless of whether they are receiving treatment, intensive counseling to prevent secondary transmission is recommended. b. Considerations include high viral load (>100,000 HIV RNA copies/mL), rapid decline in CD4 cell count (>100/ mm3 per year), high risk of cardiovascular disease, active hepatitis B or C coinfections, or presence of HIV-associated nephropathy. Hammer S, et al. JAMA. 2008;300(5):555-570.

  45. Calvin Cohen, MD Harvard Medical School CRI New England Boston, MA Reexamining the Concept of Stable Therapy: When Should ART Be Adjusted?

  46. Modifying Virologically Suppressive Therapy First: do no harm Maintain virologic control Maintain CD4 responses Second: address shortcomings of existing regimen Simplification: fewer pills, less frequent dosing Substitutions: address long-term toxicity issues associated with some antiretrovirals when better alternatives exist

  47. Case Presentation Mr LA is a 37-year-old Latino male who’s been taking zidovudine/lamivudine (ZDV/3TC) plus efavirenz (EFV) for 2 years His viral load (VL) is <50 copies/mL He feels well, looks well, and is adherent He is concerned about his risk of developing the lipoatrophy that he sees in others
