Transcript of P061 Hepatic Safety of Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir ...
Introduction ♦ Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are recommended internationally in
treatment guidelines for patients with HIV-1 infection, and the class is recognised for its potency and safety1
♦ Two INSTIs—dolutegravir (DTG) and raltegravir—have safety warnings for potential hepatotoxicity2,3
♦ Bictegravir (B) is an unboosted INSTI coformulated with emtricitabine (FTC; F) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)
♦ The single-tablet regimen B/F/TAF is a guideline-recommended regimen, with demonstrated long-term safety, efficacy, a high barrier to resistance, and few potential drug-drug interactions.
♦ B/F/TAF is approved for treatment-naïve patients and suppressed patients switching therapy, including those with HIV-1 and hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection
Objective ♦ To assess the hepatic safety profile of B/F/TAF from two Phase 3 studies of
treatment-naïve participants over 96 wk
Methods
♦ Data for participants taking B/F/TAF were pooled from 2 randomised, double-blind, active-controlled studies
Results
♦ Follow-up time included >1183 person-years of exposure to B/F/TAF
♦ No hepatic laboratory abnormalities led to discontinuation of study drug
♦ AST and ALT elevations were transient and resolved on study drug; all but 1 had identified aetiologies
♦ No participant met criteria for drug-induced liver injury
♦ 8 participants had HIV and HBV coinfection at baseline
– 4 had HBV DNA <29 IU/mL at Week 96
– 3 had HBV DNA <29 IU/mL at their last study visit, but were missing HBV DNA results at Week 96
– 1 had no postbaseline data
♦ 2 HIV- and HBV-coinfected participants had Grade 3 or 4 ALT elevations
– Both occurred at Week 12 with limited duration and resolved without interruption of study drug
♦ No participant with HIV and HBV coinfection had a hepatic AE
♦ No participant taking B/F/TAF had incident HBV infection while on study
Hepatitis C Virus Coinfection Safety ♦ 5 participants had chronic HCV coinfection at baseline
– 2 were treated for chronic HCV while on study and achieved a sustained virologic response (treatments: ledispavir/sofosbuvir and sofosbuvir/velpatasvir)
♦ 6 participants had incident HCV
♦ No hepatic AEs were reported in participants with HIV and HCV coinfection

♦ There were no study drug-related hepatobiliary serious AEs or clinical AEs among 634 treatment-naïve participants taking B/F/TAF in two Phase 3 studies with >1183 patient-years of follow-up
– 3 participants had transient liver-related laboratory abnormalities reported as AEs, which resolved while on B/F/TAF
♦ There were no treatment discontinuations due to either hepatobiliary AEs or abnormal liver function tests
♦ No participant had drug-induced liver injury
♦ Grade 3 or 4 liver function test abnormalities were transient and resolved while continuing B/F/TAF, and most had clear aetiologies
♦ B/F/TAF was safe in participants with HBV or HCV coinfection and effective at suppressing HBV viremia
♦ B/F/TAF provides a well-tolerated and effective treatment for HIV infection without evidence of hepatotoxicity
