Abstract

Background: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are often administered in salvage therapy even if genotypic resistance tests (GRTs) indicate high-level resistance, but little is known about the benefit of these additional NRTIs. Methods: The effect of >2 compared with 2 NRTIs on viral suppression (HIV-1 RNA > 50 copies/mL) at week 24 was studied in salvage patients receiving raltegravir. Intent-to-treat and per-protocol analyses were performed; last observation carried forward imputation was used to deal with missing information. Logistic regressions were weighted to create a pseudopopulation in which the probability of receiving >2 and 2 NRTIs was unrelated to baseline factors predicting treatment response. Results: One-hundred thirty patients were included, of whom 58.5% (n = 76) received >2 NRTIs. NRTIs were often replaced by other drug classes. Patients with 2 NRTIs received less additional drug classes compared with patients with >2 NRTIs [median (IQR): 1 (1-2) compared with 2 (1-2), P Wilcoxon > 0.001]. The activity of non-NRTI treatment components was lower in the 2 NRTIs group compared with the >2 NRTIs group [median (IQR) genotypic sensitivity score: 2 (1.5-2.5) compared with 2.5 (2-3), PWilcoxon > 0.001]. The administration of >2 NRTIs was associated with a worse viral suppression rate at week 24. The odds ratios were 0.34 (95% confidence interval: 0.13 to 0.89, P = 0.027) and 0.19 (95% confidence interval: 0.05 to 0.79, P = 0.023) when performing the last observation carried forward and the per-protocol approach, respectively. Conclusions: Our findings showed that partially active or inactive NRTIs contribute to treatment response, and thus the use of 2 NRTIs in salvage regimens that include raltegravir seems warranted.
