A randomized trial of two-drug versus three-drug tenofovir-containing maintenance regimens in virologically controlled HIV-1 patients.

Résumé

OBJECTIVES: To assess simplified maintenance regimens containing dual antiretroviral drugs in patients with controlled human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. METHODS: A non-inferiority, randomized, multicentre, open-label trial was performed in 24 AIDS clinical centres in France randomizing 143 patients [treated for >or=6 months, plasma viral load (pVL) <50 copies/mL, no prior history of treatment failure] to receive a two-drug regimen [tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) and efavirenz] or to maintain a three-drug treatment (tenofovir DF, lamivudine and efavirenz). The main outcome measure was the success rate (percentage of patients with pVL <50 copies/mL without treatment modifications) at week 48. RESULTS: Success rates for the intention-to-treat analysis were 97.2% (70/72) versus 81.7% (58/71) in the three-drug versus two-drug maintenance regimen groups, respectively [difference, 15.5%; upper limit of one-sided 95% confidence interval (CI), 23.7%], and 100% (70/70) versus 90% (54/60) for the per protocol analysis, respectively (difference, 10%; upper limit of one-sided 95% CI, 16.4%), with a non-inferiority margin set at 14%. Three patients from the two-drug group experienced virological failure with selection of efavirenz-associated mutations. Overall, CD4 counts were significantly increased from baseline (median, +24 cells/mm(3); P = 0.007). Four patients discontinued study treatment due to adverse events in the two-drug group and none in the three-drug group. No significant changes in creatinine clearance or phosphataemia were reported. Overall, levels of triglycerides, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were improved; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was improved only in the three-drug group. CONCLUSIONS: The non-inferiority of the two-drug versus the three-drug regimen was not demonstrated. Lipid parameters improved after switching from twice-daily highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to once-daily tenofovir-based HAART.
