Although PI/r including regimens are no longer indicated as preferential regimensin the first line cART, in a number of situations they are still used as first lineregimens, due to their high genetic barrier and potency.

We aimed to conduct an analysis similar to that of the ACTG 5257 trial,comparing durability and safety of first line raltegravir (RAL) including regimens toregimens including either darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) or atazanavir/r (ATV/r) in theobservational setting.

Participants in the Icona Foundation Cohort who started cART after the 1st ofJanuary 2008 with 2NRTI (either TDF+FTC or ABC+3TC) + ATV/r or DRV/r or RALwhen ART-naïve were included.Primary end-point: treatment failure (TF) defined by the composite endpoint ofvirological failure (VF) (confirmed HIV-RNA >200 copies/mL after 6 months oftherapy) or discontinuation of the regimen for any causeSecondary end-points:- confirmed HIV-RNA>50 copies/mL after 6 months of therapy (VF50)- discontinuation of DRV/r or ATV/r or RAL for any reasons- discontinuation of DRV/r or ATV/r or RAL because of intolerance/toxicity

(as reported by the treating physician)Statistical analyses:For the comparison of characteristics at time of treatment initiation among thethree groups, Chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis test were used as appropriate.Survival analysis with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression model with timefixed covariates at cART initiation stratified by clinical site was used. Participants’follow-up accrued from the date of cART initiation to the date of the event or tothe date of last available visit/viral load.

A total of 2,249 persons in Icona Foundation Cohort were enrolled: 985 started2NRTI+ATV/r, 1023 2NRTI+DRV/r and 241 2NRTI+RAL when ART-naïve, on averagein 2012 (IQR:2011-2014). Most of subjects started FTC/TDF (86.5%) as NRTIbackbone. Median age was 40 years, 21% females, 44% heterosexuals. Patientsstarting ATV/r were less frequently males (p=0.003), less likely of Italiannationality (p=0.022), more frequently hepatitis C co-infected (p=0.001), and theystarted cART earlier than the other two groups (p<0.001). Subjects on DRV/r-based regimens had the lowest median CD4 cell count (p<0.001) and the highestmedian viral load at cART starting (p=0.001), and also the higher proportion ofpatients who experienced an AIDS event (p<0.001). RAL group started cART withthe highest median value of CD4 count and lowest viral load (p<0.001) (Table 1).

Outcome: discontinuation because of toxicityOutcome: confirmed viral load>50 cp/mL Outcome: discontinuation for any reasons

After controlling for a number of confounders (footnote of Table 3) subjects treated with ATV/r showed ahigher rate of treatment failure and of risk of discontinuation (for any reasons and due to toxicity) thanthe DRV/r group. In contrast, still compared to DRV/r, patients who started a RAL-based regimen showeda lower rate of discontinuation due to toxicity and a lower rate of virological failure (VF50)(Table 3).

Over a median follow-up of 2.9 years (IQR: 1.5-4.3), the 2 year-probability of treatmentfailure was 45.9% (95%CI: 42.7-49.2) for persons receiving ATV/r, 43.7% (95%CI: 40.4-47.0)for persons receiving DRV/r and 49.6% (95%CI: 41.3-58.4) for those receiving RAL (p=0.89)

Figure 2: Distribution of reasons for discontinuation stratified by third drug

Our data were somewhat different from those observed in the ACTG5257 randomized comparison:-when the composite endpoint of treatment failure was considered, ATV/r-based regimens showed a 19% higher risk than DRV/r -when considering virological failure, with a threshold of 50 copies/mL, data are suggesting a lower rate of virological failure for RAL than DRV/r.

In contrast, regarding the discontinuation end-point, our results seem to be consistent with those ofthe ACTG 5257, indicating a higher propensity to discontinue ATV/r for reasons due to toxicity vs. DRV/rgroup.

We found also a lower rate of discontinuation for toxicity in RAL-based regimens compared to DRV/r. ATV/r showed also a higher risk of discontinuation regardless the reason as compared to DRV/r. The comparison between analyses conducted in the observational settings and those coming from RCT

is always a difficult one to make and we cannot rule out possible bias due to unmeasured confoundingor other introduced by the subjective nature of the data reported (e.g. the reason for stopping a drug).

In vitro susceptibility GSK3732394 demonstrated a broad spectrum of coverage in a cell-cell fusion assay with

functional envelope clones from 124 clinical isolates compared to a control envelope (Figure 2)

Mouse model of infection Humanized mice were infected with YU2 virus and treated every 3 days subcutaneously (SC) with

4, 12.5, or 32 mg/kg GSK3732394; samples were taken every 9 days for analyses Extent of CD4 binding in vivo (receptor occupancy) was analyzed (Figure 3)

Dose-dependent increase in receptor occupancy on CD4 At 32 mg/kg, receptor occupancy ranged from 40% to 60% Measurement of virus titers at each collection point were performed (Figure 4) Dose-dependent decreases in viral titers observed

The efficacy observed at the highest dose of GSK3732394 was similar to that observed with HAART By Day 63, viral titers were present in all of the mice exposed to the 4 mg/kg dose and in 7 of the

8 mice exposed to the 12.5 mg/kg dose In the 32 mg/kg dose group, viral titers were present in 3 of 7 remaining animals by Day 63

Viral titers remained undetectable in the other mice All samples with viral titers were assessed at Day 63, and the only change present (in all viruses)

was Q577R, which is the resistance mutation to the α-N17 Adnectin

Introduction Long-acting antiretrovirals could provide a useful alternative to daily oral therapy for

HIV-1–infected individuals Adnectins™ (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Waltham, MA, USA) are small proteins derived from the

10th type III fibronectin domain of the human fibronectin protein that possess modifiable binding loops akin to the complementarity-determining region of an antibody1

Using Adnectins and a peptide fusion inhibitor, we developed the Combinectin inhibitor GSK3732394 (BMS-986197), a biologic with 3 independent and synergistic modes of HIV entry inhibition that could potentially be self-administered as a long-acting subcutaneous injection

We present preclinical data on the antiviral potency and efficacy of GSK3732394 in a mouse model of infection

MethodsDrug design Adnectins targeting CD4 and a region of gp41 were isolated and optimized for antiviral potency

and biophysical characteristics The α-CD4 Adnectin (EC50=8.5 nM) allows gp120 to bind but inhibits conformational changes needed for

coreceptor binding The α-gp41 Adnectin (EC50=5.4 nM) targets the conserved N17 pocket in heptad repeat 1 (HR1) The peptide fusion inhibitor (EC50=0.4 nM) targets the region just upstream (N-terminal) of N17

The α-gp41 Adnectin was joined at its amino terminus to the α -CD4 Adnectin via a peptide linker, and the peptide was joined to the α-gp41 Adnectin via a linker (Figure 1)

Last, a human serum albumin (HSA) molecule was attached via a linker to the amino terminus of the α-CD4 Adnectin to optimize in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK)

Efficacy of GSK3732394 The in vivo activity of GSK3732394 was tested by TransCure Biosciences (Archamps, France) in

a mouse model of infection

ResultsAntiviral potency Various synergies were obtained by linking all 3 inhibitors into a single molecule. Optimally

combining the 2 Adnectins increased the potency over 100 fold to ~20 pM (Table 1) Addition of HSA enables a projected half-life of GSK3732394 of ~40 hours

Accompanying decrease in the potency to 0.27 ± 0.17 nM for full molecule

Resistance profile Resistance to each individual component was generated in vitro, and recombinant viruses

containing mixtures of these resistance mutations were examined No significant change in susceptibility to GSK3732394 was observed with recombinant viruses

constructed to contain resistance substitutions to one of the inhibitors (Table 2) Only viruses resistant to both α-gp41 inhibitors or all 3 inhibitors exhibited high fold changes

compared with wild-type virus

Conclusions GSK3732394 is a long-acting (projected: weekly SC dose) biologic molecule containing

3 individual inhibitors of HIV-1 entry The combination of inhibitors in a single molecule provides multiple advantages

Synergistic potency derived from localization of inhibitors at the cell surface Excellent potency at low receptor occupancy (CD4 binding; not shown) GSK3732394 exhibits good inhibitory activity against viruses resistant to a single component

GSK3732394 is extremely effective at lowering viral loads in a mouse model Selection of resistance to one of the components (α-N17 Adnectin) was observed over the

2-month dosing period Selection of resistance mutations could be due to a suboptimal level of receptor occupancy

This molecule has biophysical characteristics that are amenable to a self-administered subcutaneous weekly injection regimen

The Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor Bictegravir has a Long Integrase/DNA Dissociation Half-life

K White, A Niedziela-Majka, N Novikov, M Miller, and M Tsiang

Gilead Sciences Inc, Foster City, CA

•Bictegravir is a potent INSTI with a high barrier to resistance and improved potency against HIV-1 with INSTI resistance mutations

•Bictegravir has the longest reported dissociation half-life from wild-type HIV-1 IN/DNA complexes compared to DTG, RAL, and EVG

• Long residence times of INSTIs on the integrase/DNA complex have been correlated with potent antiretroviral activity against wild-type HIV-1 integrase and a high barrier to resistance in vitro5

•Phase 3 clinical studies of the single tablet regimen of BIC/FTC/TAF are ongoing and will examine the relationship of high resistance barrier associated with long dissociation half-life in vitro with clinical outcomes

� Bictegravir (BIC; GS-9883) is a novel potent once-daily unboosted INSTI currently in clinical development in combination with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and emtricitabine (FTC) as a single-tablet regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection1,2,3

� Bictegravir has an improved resistance profile compared to elvitegravir (EVG), raltegravir (RAL), and dolutegravir (DTG) in patient isolates, particularly for isolates with high-level INSTI resistance containing combinations of mutations such as E92Q+N155H or G140C/S+Q148R/H/K4

� In biochemical studies, the apparent dissociation rate constant of DTG from integrase/DNA complexes was shown to be longer than RAL or EVG and was predicted to correlate with potent antiretroviral activity and a higher genetic barrier to resistance5

� In this study, we report the dissociation kinetics of bictegravir and other INSTIs from wild-type HIV-1 integrase/DNA complexes in vitro

� SPA Assay: The apparent association and dissociation kinetics of 3H-labelled bictegravir, dolutegravir, elvitegravir, and raltegravir were measured using wild-type HIV-1 integrase/DNA complexes and a scintillation proximity assay as previously described (Figure 1)5

� Equilibrium Binding Model Analysis: We observed that the competition binding phase deviates significantly from the single exponential decay because the SPA beads gradually sediment over time (Figure 2). For this reason, the on- and off-rate constants appear to change over time. The equilibrium binding model incorporates a correction for this gradual sedimentation by replacing kon and koff with decreasing hyperbolic functions of time (zon and zoff) where tc is the time of cold competitor addition and r and n are correction factors.

Background TABLE 1: CHARACTERISTICS OF HIV INFECTED PATIENTS ATTENDING THE EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GROUP (N=74)

Methods

Among the 18,000 residents living on the Downtown EastSide (DTES) of Vancouver, over 20% are infected with HIV.An innovative approach is needed to engage theseindividuals in care to fulfill the goals of the "90-90-90"program endorsed by the World Health Organization toaddress the global HIV pandemic.

.

In 2013, structured HIV support groups were designed as an innovative strategy to engage this vulnerable population in a multidisciplinary program of care. The group is held once a week for four hours, led by medical doctors, nurses and other community-based workers. Individuals attending the group are given a presentation on a topic related to HIV/AIDS, such as HIV transmission, therapy or substance abuse. They are also able to ask medical questions and voice their health-related concerns in an open and safe environment. Two meals are provided as well as services to address medical, psychological, social and addiction-related needs. A retrospective analysis to assess characteristics of individuals attending the group regularly (at least once per month) was performed, and commitment to HIV treatment was evaluated.

ResultsA total of 74 HIV-infected patients (mean age 52 years, 12% females, 14% First Nations) regularly attended the group. Among these HIV-positive individuals attending the group, 55 (74.3%) were people who actively inject drugs (PWID), 36 (48.6%) self-identified as being homeless, and 25 (33.8%) had an underlying psychiatric disease. The majority (73/74, 98.6 %) were receiving antiretroviral therapy and 58/73 (79.4%) of these individuals had a suppressed HIV plasma viral load (<40 copies/mL). The remaining 15/73 (20.5%) are on treatment, but have not yet suppressed.

ConclusionThis HIV support group model has shown to be effective at engaging and retaining HIV-infected patients in care, with the vast majority having a maximal response to antiretroviral therapy. These individuals were previously undiagnosed or not receiving care. Approaches such as the one we have developed will be essential to reaching the goal of "90-90-90" especially in more vulnerable populations.

Introduction

Objectives1. Investigate the HIV-1 protease inhibition abilities of 1.2. Determine the effects of the complex on associated

infections: M.tuberculosis and P.falciparum.3. Determine effects on cell viability using viability dyes and

real-time cell electronic sensing (RTCES).

Methods

ResultsComplex 1 showed HIV-1 protease inhibition values of above 50% at25µg/mL (Figure 1). Higher concentrations of the complex behavedsimilarly to the control, acetyl-pepstatin.

Figure 1. The inhibition of HIV-1 protease by complex 1. The complex showed an IC50 value of 26,69 μg/mL, and kinetic studies suggest that the complex is a mixed inhibitor. Conclusion

A complex with inhibitory abilities against HIV-1 replication, M.tuberculosis and P. falciparum is presented here. Tuberculosis andMalaria play a major role in the mortality of HIV-1 infected patients inAfrica, and the development of drugs with dual activities that cancontrol both the viral and opportunistic infections could contribute tothe alleviation of the fatal prognosis associated with HIV in the Sub-Saharan region.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) remains a major threat to public health 1. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence ofHIV/AIDS and the overlap of this infection with other major pandemics that plague the region has become a major challenge in thetreatment of the infection. These include tuberculosis and malaria 2. Although Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) have beensuccessful in the treatment of the virus, these drugs are associated with a number of adverse effects often resulting in non-compliance bythe patients and increasing an individual’s susceptibility to opportunistic infections that are prevalent in the region 3. It is, therefore, crucialto develop novel treatments that are not only effective against HIV, but also against opportunistic infections. Indeed, multi-target drugs arebecoming increasingly popular with the rise in syndemic diseases in most parts of the world. Finding novel drugs that are effective againsttwo or more different infections or diseases, targeting various pathways within the microorganism /pathology is where research is movingtowards, and in this study metal modified chloroquine (Complex 1) was investigated in a type of repurposing approach for this well-knownmalaria drug 4.

BACKGROUNDSince the emergence of new direct-acting agents, Hepatitis C treatment has undergone a rapid evolution, bringing about a radical change in the clinicalparadigm. Oral treatment regimens with high virologic efficacy, great tolerability, favorable safety profiles, high genetic barriers and an easy posology are nowavailable. Despite this, challenges remain to patients who fail the treatment. This study aims to characterize this group of patients in an infectious diseasesclinic in Lisbon.

PATIENTS AND METHODSRetrospective observational study of a cohort of HCV chronically infected patients with or without HIV infection, given new direct-acting agents, from01/01/2015 to 30/04/2016. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Oficce® - Excel 2012.

RESULTS_ 426 patients were eligible to start HCV treatment with DAA regimens; 138 HCV monoinfected vs 288 HCV/HIV coinfected.

CONCLUSIONSIn this preliminary analysis, the 8 patients with non SVR 12, were male and 7 had HIV infection. These factors may be associated withresponse and outcome with the new direct-acting agents. Regarding the efficacy of these drugs, uncertainties and challenges remain, inaddition to continued necessity of identifying response predictive factors and individual strategies for special patient groups.
