Background and Rationale
• Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with marked reduction in morbidity and mortality
• Continuous use of ART can be associated with:– Waning adherence– Accumulation of resistance mutations– Serious cardiovascular and metabolic complications– Drug Costs
• Strategies are needed that optimize the use of ART: maximizing benefits, minimizing risks

SMART Study Design
Drug Conservation (DC) Strategy
[Stop or defer ART until CD4+ < 250; then episodic ART
based on CD4+ cell count to increase counts to > 350]
Virologic Suppression (VS) Strategy
[Use of ART to maintain viral load as low as possible throughout follow-up]
CD4+ cell count >350 cells/mm3
n = 3000 n = 3000
Plan: 910 primary endpoints, 8 years average follow-up
Findings (11 Jan 06): 164 primary endpoints, 14 months average follow-up, 2% lost to follow-up

Summary• The DC strategy, compared to the VS strategy, is
associated with increased risk of:– HIV disease progression or death– Death– Serious HIV disease progression – Severe complications (cardiac, renal or hepatic)
• Risk of disease progression or death in DC versus VS group – Did not differ by nadir CD4+ cell count– Was three-fold higher for patients on ART with baseline HIV
RNA < 400 copies/ml compared to those on ART with baseline HIV RNA >400 copies/ml
• For other subgroups examined, risk was always greater in the DC group than the VS group

Conclusion
Episodic use of ART based on CD4+ cell count levels as per the SMART study design is inferior to continuous ART for the management of treatment-experienced patients. Thus, this strategy should not be recommended.
