In-depth Analysis of the HIV Reservoir Confirms Effectiveness and Safety of Dolutegravir/Lamivudine in a Phase 4 Randomized Controlled Switch Trial (RUMBA).
Background: Reducing the number of active compounds for lifelong human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment is of interest, especially to reduce potential long-term side effects. So far, available data assessing viral control support the robustness and safety of 2DR (2-drug regimen) antiretroviral therapy compared to 3DR. However, further in-depth investigations of the viral reservoirs are mandatory to guarantee long-term safety of these regimens regarding stable intact HIV-1 DNA copies, HIV-1 RNA transcripts, and sustained immunological control.
Methods: The RUMBA study is the first prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of switch from 3DR to 2DR on the viral reservoir. Participants on any stable second-generation integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based 3DR regimen with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL plasma for at least 3 months were randomized to switch to dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC, n = 89) or to switch or stay on bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF, n = 45). After 48 weeks, virological, immunological, and metabolic parameters were evaluated.
Results: We did not observe a significant difference in change over time in the mean number of intact HIV-1 DNA copies/million CD4+ T cells with DTG/3TC compared to B/F/TAF. There was no evidence in this study that switching to DTG/3TC increased the active reservoir by HIV-1 transcription. No significant changes in proinflammatory cytokines or major immune cell subsets were observed. Changes in exhaustion and activation of specific cellular subsets were small and bidirectional. Metabolic outcomes are similar between the treatment regimens.
Conclusions: This study confirms the safety of DTG/3TC compared to B/F/TAF through viral control after in-depth investigations of the intact HIV-1 reservoir, HIV-1 transcription, and inflammatory markers.
