318. Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) vs. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in Hispanic/Latinx and Black Participants: Efficacy, Bone and Renal Safety Results from a Pooled Analysis of 7 Clinical Trials

BACKGROUND: People of color are underrepresented in clinical trials. TAF has shown improved renal and bone safety vs. TDF. We pooled 7 studies to evaluate efficacy/safety of TAF vs. TDF for ART initiation/switch in Hispanic/Latinx and Black participants. METHODS: Data from Hispanic/Latinx and Black adults who initiated/switched to TAF or TDF in 7 randomized trials (2 treatment-naïve, 5 suppressed switch) were analyzed. TAF-based regimens (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine [FTC]/TAF, rilpivirine/FTC/TAF, FTC/TAF, or bictegravir/FTC/TAF) were compared with TDF-based regimens. Virologic suppression (VS; HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL, FDA snapshot) and % change in bone mineral density (BMD) and renal tubular biomarkers urine β-2-microglobulin (B2M):creatinine (Cr) ratio and retinol binding protein (RBP):Cr ratio are reported at W96. RESULTS: The pooled population (N = 5,825) included 1138 Hispanic/Latinx and 1324 Black participants. Treatment-naïve participants (n = 1,733) were 15% female, 25% Black, 19% Hispanic/Latino, with median age 34 years, HIV-1 RNA 4.6 log(10) c/mL, CD4 405 cells/mm(3). Switch participants (n = 4,092) were 13% female, 22% Black, 20% Hispanic/Latino, median age 45 years, CD4 653 cells/mm(3). There was no difference in VS rate with TAF vs. TDF in any group. VS rate (TAF vs. TDF) in naïve participants: 88% vs. 84% (Hispanic/Latinx); 78 vs. 79% (Black); 87% vs. 85% (overall). VS (TAF vs. TDF) was well maintained in switch participants: 91% both arms (Hispanic/Latinx); 86% vs. 87% (Black); 90% vs. 88% (overall). TAF and TDF were well tolerated with few discontinuations due to adverse events (0.6–2%) in all groups. At W96 there was less impact on renal biomarkers in all groups initiating TAF (P < 0.001; table), and decreases in BMD were smaller (P < 0.005; table) vs. TDF. All groups switching from TDF to TAF experienced decreases in tubular proteinuria and improvements in BMD (both P < 0.001; table) at W96. CONCLUSION: Hispanic/Latinx and Black participants who initiated/switched to TAF had significantly improved bone and renal parameters vs. TDF, with similar VS rates at W96. Efficacy and biomarkers were similar to the overall study population. These data in >2,400 Hispanic/Latinx and Black PLH demonstrate noninferior efficacy and safety advantages with TAF vs. TDF.
