2508. Virologic Suppression in Patients Switched to BIC/TAF/FTC with Baseline NRTI and/or INSTI Resistance

BACKGROUND: BIC/TAF/FTC is the first fixed-dose combination tablet to contain both a second-generation INSTI and TAF and has therefore become a popular treatment option for HIV. Historically, patients with NRTI mutations were placed on four-drug, NRTI-retaining regimens or two-drug, NRTI-sparing regimens. Recently, data have emerged supporting the use of second-generation INSTIs with tenofovir/FTC in the setting of the M184V mutation alone. There is a paucity of data, however, evaluating the use of BIC/TAF/FTC in the setting of NRTI and/or INSTI mutations. This study assessed the role of BIC/TAF/FTC in patients with baseline NRTI and/or INSTI mutations. METHODS: This was an observational retrospective study conducted at an inner city HIV clinic. Patients were eligible if they were switched to BIC/TAF/FTC with confirmed adherence and had either the M184V mutation alone, M184V plus another NRTI mutation(s), an INSTI mutation alone, or both NRTI and INSTI mutation(s) at the time of ART switch. We evaluated virologic response (HIV RNA < 200 copies/mL) and duration of BIC/TAF/FTC therapy. RESULTS: There were 16 patients eligible for analysis. Among the patients, 69% were male and 31% were female. The majority of patients were Black (81%). The mean age was 63 years (SD ± 8.6). Thirteen patients were virologically suppressed (HIV RNA < 200 copies/mL) at baseline. The mean CD4 count at baseline was 630.4 cells/mm(3) (SD ± 297.1). Mutations at baseline were as follows: M184V alone (25%), M184V plus another NRTI mutation(s) (56.25%), INSTI mutation alone (12.5%), NRTI and INSTI mutation(s) (6.25%). BIC/TAF/FTC mean duration of therapy was 10.5 months (range 6–14 months). The mean CD4 count of the patients switched to BIC/TAF/FTC was 687 cells/mm(3) (SD ± 20.7). All patients switched to BIC/TAF/FTC achieved or maintained virologic suppression (HIV RNA < 200 copies/mL) with a mean HIV RNA of 26.25 copies/mL (SD ± 14.1). Fifteen of those switched to BIC/TAF/FTC had an undetectable HIV RNA level (HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL). CONCLUSION: While a larger cohort and longer follow-up period is needed, BIC/TAF/FTC may maintain virologic suppression in patients with select baseline NRTI and/or INSTI mutations.
