Efavirenz to Etravirine switch in patients with CNS adverse events

Design
Endpoints– Primary: change in the proportion of patients experiencing grade 2-4 CNS
toxicity at week 12– Secondary: change in CNS score, median number of grade 2-4 CNS adverse
events, viral suppression, CD4 change, fasting lipids, safety

Baseline characteristics, 38 patients– Median age 43 years– Median duration of EFV: 21.4 months (range: 3.5 – 117.5)– Median CD4: 510/mm3
– NRTI backbone: TDF/FTC = 61% ; ABC/3TC = 29%– Similar frequency of individual grade 2-4 CNS adverse events (AE) in immediate and
delayed ETR switch arm, except for insomnia (p=0.024)

Combined analysis, at W12 of ETR in both arms– Grade 2-4 CNS AE
• Significant reductions (baseline ; W12) in overall AE (89% ; 60% ; p=0.009), insomnia (63% ; 37% ; p=0.016), abnormal dreams (57% ; 20% ; p=0.001) and nervousness (29% ; 9% ; p=0.046)
– Virologic and immunologic efficacy• HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL at all visits, median CD4 rise : + 43/mm3
– Fasting lipids• Reductions in total cholesterol (- 0.64 mmol/L, p<0.001) and LDL-cholesterol
(- 0.58 mmol/L, p=0.021)
– No rash or hepatotoxicity
Conclusion– Switching EFV to ETR led to a significant reduction in some but not all grade
2-4 CNS adverse events
– Once-daily ETR is an efficacious, tolerable and lipid-friendly alternative to EFV in patients with persistent CNS toxicity
