  6. Antiretroviral Therapy for Preventing HIV Acquisition: Available Data and Ongoing Trials

  7. PrEP Background

  8. After infection Time of transmission Prior to exposure Using Antiretroviral Medications for HIV-1 Prevention PrEP PEP ART • Advantages • Demonstrated efficacy • Challenges • Adherence • Delivery • Cost-effectiveness • Resistance • Advantages • Shorter course than PrEP • Challenges • Limited data • Recognition of risk • Initiation < 48 hrs • Adherence • Public health impact • Advantages • Clinical benefits and reduced infectiousness • Challenges • Scale up; resources • Long-term adherence • Long term toxicity • Resistance

  9. Tenofovir for PrEP • Completed clinical trials of PrEP have tested tenofovir • Oral TDF, oral TDF/FTC, vaginal gel • Potent: rapid antiretroviral activity • Safe: Substantial treatment safety experience • Easy: Once-daily dosing, few drug-drug interactions • Evidence that concept should work • Animal models and postnatal prophylaxis of breastfeeding infants showed high levels of protection

  10. Breakthroughs in PrEP

  11. iPrEx: Eligibility • Male sex at birth (N = 2499) • 18 yrs of age or older • HIV-seronegative status • Evidence of risk for acquisition of HIV infection Grant RM, et al. N Engl J Med. 2010;363:2587-2599.

  29. A Perspective on “Risk Compensation” • Effect of 90% male circumcision ± 30% risk reduction 2.0 No intervention 1.5 Circumcision intervention only 1.0 Incidence Rate (per 100 Yrs) Reductions in risk behavior 0.5 Reductions in risk behavior + circumcision 0 Intervention Hallett TB, et al. PLoS One. 2008;3:e2212.

  30. Limitations of Current Data • Only ~ 10% of iPrEx population from the US • Arguably, prevention benefit should not differ by geography • Long-term adherence and adherence at time of HIV exposure unknown (in those who became infected) • Long-term health effects of FTC/TDF in HIV negative and HIV seroconverters unknown • Adherence, risk behavior, PrEP interest likely to be different now that results are known compared with clinical trial population CDC. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2011;60:65-68. Grant RM. N Engl J Med. 2010;363:2587-2599.

  31. What We Are Poised to Learn • PrEP use when MSM know iPrEx results (adherence, risk practices) • iPrEx Open-Label Extension (OLE) • Demonstration projects • What is intermittent dosing and should we consider it? • (Answer: Not yet . . . ) • Efficacy and safety of new drugs and new delivery systems • Long-acting injectables • Rectal microbicides • Vaginal rings

  34. Other Studies of ART for Prevention

  35. Partners PrEP: TDF vs TDF/FTC vs Placebo in HIV-Serodiscordant Couples Follow-up: 36 mos Oral Tenofovir QD (n = 1584) HIV-negative partners in HIV-serodiscordant heterosexual couples (N = 4747) Oral Tenofovir/Emtricitabine QD (n = 1579) Oral Placebo* (n = 1584) • *Placebo arm terminated early on July 10, 2011, by data and safety monitoring board. Baeten J, et al. IAS 2011. Abstract MOAX0106.

  36. Partners PrEP: Both PrEP Strategies Significantly Reduce HIV Acquisition • Both PrEP strategies associated with significant reduction in HIV acquisition vs placebo in both men and women • TDF efficacy: 71% in women, 63% in men • TDF/FTC efficacy: 66% in women, 84% in men Baeten J, et al. CROI 2012. Abstract 29.

  37. Partners PrEP: Other Outcomes • Rates of death, serious adverse events, laboratory events low and not significantly different between arms • Mild GI effects and fatigue, primarily during Month 1 • Reported unprotected sexual behavior decreased on study, with similar decline observed across arms • No resistance to TDF or FTC in those who acquired HIV after randomization (n = 27) • Resistance mutations found in 2/8 retrospectively found to have acute HIV-1 at PrEP initiation • K65R (n = 1); M184V (n = 1) Baeten J, et al. CROI 2012. Abstract 29.

  38. TDF2: PrEP With TDF/FTC in HIV-Negative Heterosexuals in Botswana ≥ 12-mo follow-up Oral Tenofovir/Emtricitabine (n = 601) HIV-uninfected adults, heterosexually active, aged 18-39 yrs (N =1219)* Oral Placebo (n = 599) *n = 19 patients excluded for failure to start study medication or HIV infection. Thigpen MC, et al. IAS 2011. Abstract WELBC01.

  39. TDF2: PrEP With TDF/FTC Significantly Reduces HIV Acquisition • 9 vs 24 patients seroconverted in TDF/FTC vs placebo arms, respectively • Overall protective efficacy of TDF/FTC: 62.6% (95% CI: 21.5-83.4; P = .0133) • Reduction in HIV acquisition with TDF/FTC observed in both men and women but study underpowered to demonstrate sex-based differences in outcomes Time to Seroconversion (ITT Analysis) 0.10 Placebo 0.08 0.06 Failure Probability 0.04 TDF/FTC 0.02 0 0 1 2 3 Yrs Thigpen MC, et al. IAS 2011. Abstract WELBC01.

  40. 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. 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. 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

  43. Treatment of HIV-Infected Persons for Prevention of Transmission

  44. HPTN 052: Immediate vs Delayed ART for HIV Prevention in Serodiscordant Couples • 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 Immediate HAART Initiate HAART at CD4+ cell count 350-550 cells/mm3 (n = 886 couples) HIV-infected, sexually active serodiscordant couples; CD4+ cell count of the infected partner: 350-550 cells/mm3 (N = 1763 couples) Delayed HAARTInitiate HAART at CD4+ cell count ≤ 250 cells/mm3* (n = 877 couples) *Based on 2 consecutive values ≤ 250 cells/mm3. Cohen MS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2011;365: 493-505.

  45. 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 Delayed Arm: 27 Immediate Arm: 1 P < .001 Cohen MS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2011;365: 493-505.

  46. 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)

  47. Why Use PrEP if Treatment Is So Effective?
