Pharmacotherapy for HIV infection
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Global estimation of population with HIV | 39.4 million |
| Global New cases of HIV in 2004 | 4.9 million |
| Global deaths from HIV in 2004 | 3.1 million |
| Percent of patients with HIV | MSM-57%, Femal-heterosexual 71%, IVDU important in both gendars |
| Trends in HIV death rates | In 1993-95 leading cause of death but1995 decline due to drugs, no others have declined |
| Projection for 2002 HIV life | Estimation that 80% surive 108 months after diagnosis |
| Time life of major HIV interventions 1989 | PCP -bactrium effective in prevention |
| Time life of major HIV interventions 1994 | MAC prophylaxis difficult infection to treat |
| Time life of major HIV interventions 1995 | Prevention of maternal transmission |
| Time life of major HIV interventions 1997-2004 | Multiple antiretroviral therapy |
| Currently there are -classes and- number of agents | 4 classes and 22 agents |
| Survival benefit of AIDS therapy in the US | 3 million years of life saved |
| Greates per person survival gain is with | PCP/MAC/Anritretroviral (4 drugs) increased to 91% |
| Lifecycle of HIV | Absorption, penetration & uncoating, reverse transcription, Integration, Assembly |
| Penetration & uncoating of HIV | Fusion and penetration can only be inhibited by 1 drug-Efuvirtide |
| Reverse transcription of HIV | Can be inhibited by NRTis and Nono-NRTis |
| Integration of HIV | Integration, Transcription-Translation- inhibtitors all investigational |
| On going Replication of HIV | Has primary role in onset and progression of the disease. Halting replication can prevent further progression (for a period of time) |
| 2 surrogate markers of HIV | Plasma HIV RNA(viral load) and CD4 count (normal>750 |
| General principals for monitoring opportunistic infections | Prospective monitoring, primary prophylaxis, treatment and secondary prophylaxis |
| Goals for HIV treatment (5) | Reduce HIV related morbidity& mortality, Improve QALY, restore & preserve immune function, suppress HIV replication, Reduce HIV1 RNA below limit of detection (<50) in 16-24 weeks of therapy for naive patient |
| Predictors of long term success (5) | Potency of drug regimen, adherence, Low basline HIV-RNA, High baseline CD4, Rapid reduction of HIV-RNA with treatment (>1log drop in 1-4 months) |
| When to treat asymptomatic patients | CD4 <350 and and any HIV-RNA if CD4> 350 and HIV-1RNA <100,000 defer |
| Evidence on treating with older therapy | Treating early better but we do not have data with new treatment medications |
| Preferred therapy NNRTI | Efavarinz, or Atazanavir or Fos-ampranivir or Lopinavir/rit + (truvada or Combivir) |
| Alternative to preferred | Atazanavir or fosamprivavir or Fos-amprinavir/rit or Lopinavir/rit + (abacavir + lamovudine) or (didanosine + emtricitabine or lamivudine) |
| Triple NRTI combination considered | Inferior to preferred but aceptable- Abacavir +lamivudine+ zidovudine (Trizivir-BID) |
| Not recommended due to hyperbilirubin | Atazanavir + Indinavir |
| Not recommended due to mitochondria toxcity | Didanosine +stavudine |
| Not recommended due to early virologic failure due to CD4 toxcity | Didanosine + tenofovir |
| Not recommended due to both thymidien analoges | Zidovudine + stavudine |
| Trial PI vs NNRTI regimen result | Same success rates in viral load reduction (<50 HIV RNA) but PI slightly better improving CD4 count |
| Trial Fos-APV/r & LPV/r | No difference in CD4 and HIV RNA, both well tolerated |
| LPV/r BID) + 3TC (lamivudine) +d4T (stavudine) | Potent and durable viral suppression & CD4 cell gain- 98% of subjects able to maintain viral end load when remainin on treatment-response independant of baseline values-No PI resistance |
| Efavarenz + 2 verse 3 drug NRTI- time to virologic failure | 2 NRTis better since the 3rd did not add benefit- Predictor of virologic failure-HCV co-infection, Black patients- Baseline resistance rare-M184 V most common |
| Treatment experienced person virologic failure considered | Viral load >400 after 24 weeks, >50 after 48 weeks or repeated >400 after prior suppression to <400 |
| Managment of experienced patient | Viral Load, evaluate-adherance, tolerance, side effects, Drug resistance testing |
| Darunavir in treatment experienced patients | Activity against treatment resistance PI regimens (BID) |
| Integrase inhibitors when approved | Will be the 5th class - short term trial showed 2 log drop with ritonavir |
| Mitochondrial toxcity- lactic acidosis,hepatomegaly/steatosis | Mitochondrial toxcity is biggest problem with NRTI's (Zalcitabine>Didanosine>Stavudine) |
| CNS Side effect | Efavirenz |
| Fat mal-disstribution | Stavudine |
| Drugs that cause Perpheral neuropathy | Didanosine, Stavudine, Zalcitabine |
| Efavarinz CNS side effect may last | 24 weeks and probably will not go away |
| Atazanavir and Rifampin have | Drug interaction-Efavarinz has interaction and 25% reduction - if patient<65kg of at 600mg but if >65Kg increase to 800mg |
