    Abstract Objective: Multiple strategies have been utilised to reduce the incidence of HIV, including PrEP and rapid antiretroviral therapy initiation. The study objectives were to evaluate the efficacy, safety, satisfaction, treatment adherence, and system retention obtained with rapid initiation of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) in naïve patients.
    Methods: This phase IV, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, 48-week clinical trial enrolled patients between January 2020 and June 2022. Adherence to treatment was evaluated with the SMAQ questionnaire and patient satisfaction with the EQ-5D.
    Results: Two hundred eight participants were enrolled with mean age of 35.6 years; 87.6% were males; mean CD4 count was 393.5 cells/uL (<200 cells/uL in 22.1%); viral load log was 5.6 (VL>100 000 cop/mL in 43.3%); 22.6% had AIDS, and 4.3% were coinfected with HBV. BIC/FTC/TAF was initiated on the day of their first visit to the HIV specialist in 98.6% of participants, and 9.6% were lost to follow-up. The efficacy at week 48 was 84.1 % by intention-to- treat (ITT), 94.6% by modified ITT, and 98.3% by per protocol analysis. The regimen was discontinued in two subjects (0.9%) during week 1 for grade 3 adverse events. Treatment adherence (weeks 4 [90%, IQR: 80-99%] vs. 48 [90%, IQR: 80-95%; P = 0.49]) and patient satisfaction (weeks 4 [90%, IQR: 80-99%] vs. 48 [90%, IQR: 80-95 P = 0.49]) rates were very high over the 48- week study period.
    Conclusions: BIC/FTC/TAF is an appropriate option for rapid ART initiation in naïve HIV patients, offering high efficacy, safety, durability, treatment adherence, retention in the healthcare system, and patient satisfaction. Number Clinical Trial registration: NCT06177574.

    Abstract Brief: Real-world data in naïve HIV-1 patients demonstrate that dolutegravir plus lamivudine in a multiple tablet regimen is effective, safe, and satisfactory; it causes moderately increasing weight and abdominal circumference and is administrable on a test-and-treat strategy. Background: Our objectives were to determine the real-life effectiveness and safety of DT with dolutegravir (50 mg/QD) plus lamivudine (300 mg/QD) in a multiple-tablet regimen (MTR) in naïve PLHIV followed up for 48 weeks and to evaluate the compliance and satisfaction of patients. Material and methods: An open, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized clinical trial from May 2019 through September 2020 with a 48-week follow-up. Results: The study included 88 PLHIV patients (87.5% male) with a mean age of 35.9 years; 76.1% were MSM patients. The mean baseline CD4 was 516.4 cells/uL, with a viral load (VL) of 4.49 log10, and 11.4% were in the AIDS stage. DT started within 7 days of first specialist consultation in all patients and the same day in 84.1%; 3.4% had baseline resistance mutations (K103N, V106I + E138A, and V108I); 12.5% were lost to follow-up. At week 48, 86.3% had VL < 50 cop/uL by intention-to-treat analysis and 98.7% by per-protocol (PP) analysis. Virological failure (VF) was recorded in 1.1%, with no resistance mutation. One blip was detected in 5.2% without VF. Three reported anxiety, dizziness, and cephalgia, respectively, at week 4 and one reported insomnia at week 24; none reported adverse events at week 48. The mean weight was 4 kg higher at 48 weeks (p = 0.0001) and abdominal circumference 3 cm larger at 24 weeks (p = 0.022). No forgetfulness occurred in 98.7% of patients. Patient satisfaction was 90/100 at 4, 24, and 48 weeks. Conclusion: Real-world data demonstrate that dolutegravir plus lamivudine in MTR is effective, safe, and satisfactory, moderately increasing weight and abdominal circumference and administrable on a test-and-treat strategy.

    Abstract A comparative study of the oxidative stability of “ultra-high” ω3 concentrates (80%) from fish oils as triacylglycerols (TAG) or ethyl esters (EE), as well as their stabilization by supercritical extracts of rosemary (SER), α-tocopherol or their mixture, by Rancimat method and throughout storage time, was carried out. No significant differences were found between EE and TAG on oxidative stability when measured by Rancimat conditions in the range of 50−90°C. However, storage experiments revealed a poor stability of the EE concentrate form, measured by the monitorization of peroxide and p-anisidine values. Concerning the stabilization by antioxidants, there was a lack of antioxidant effect of evaluated compounds when Rancimat assays were performed at 70°C, whereas an antioxidant effect began to evidence at 60°C, and a clearest antioxidant protection was measured at 50°C for the mixture of the SER plus α-tocopherol in both EE and TAG forms. This selected binary mixture efficiently stabilized the ω3-TAG concentrate throughout 50days of storage conditions, whereas the stabilization of ω3-EE concentrate was worse. Therefore, the combination of SER and α-tocopherol seemed to be a good antioxidant mixture for the efficient stabilization of extremely labile ultra-high ω3 concentrates, especially in the form of ω3 TAG oils.

    Abstract Background: Concerns have been voiced over the capacity of deintensification strategies to preserve neurocognitive function and prevent neurocognitive impairment.
    Methods: We present the 96 week results of a neurocognitive substudy nested within the SALT clinical trial: a randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial that compares whether atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine is non-inferior to atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs in HIV-suppressed patients on stable triple therapy. A global deficit score (GDS) for five neurocognitive tasks was used to assess neurocognitive function. Changes in neurocognitive function (GDS value) were determined at weeks 48 and 96. The effect of atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine, adjusted for significant confounders, on the change in neurocognitive function was determined using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at week 96.
    Results: The per-protocol analysis included 92 participants (47 atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine and 45 atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs). All baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. At weeks 48 and 96, changes in GDS [week 48, atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine -0.3 (95% CI -0.5 to -0.1) versus atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs -0.2 (95% CI -0.4 to 0.0), P = 0.39; week 96, atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine -0.3 (95% CI -0.5 to -0.1) versus atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs -0.2 (95% CI -0.4 to -0.1); P = 0.471] were similar. This absence of differences was also observed in all cognitive tasks. Atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine did not impact the change in neurocognitive function at week 96; the adjusted effect of atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine on GDS change, considering atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs as a reference, was 0.01 (95% CI -0.18 to 0.21) (P = 0.90).
    Conclusions: Neurocognitive function remained stable after 96 weeks, both in the atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine and in the atazanavir/ritonavir + two NRTIs arms, provided HIV remained suppressed.

    Abstract To assess the efficacy and safety of maraviroc (MVC) administered once-daily in routine clinical practice. A retrospective multicenter study (27 centers in Spain) was conducted. Data were collected from the records of patients starting a regimen with MVC. Laboratory and clinical data were recorded every 3 months the first year and every 6 months thereafter. Data are presented as median and interquartile range. Among 667 patients treated with MVC, 142 (21.3%) received MVC once-daily: 108 (76.1%), 150 mg and 34 (23.9%), and 300 mg. Age was 47 (42-45) years, there were 76.1% men, and 81 (57%) patients had baseline HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL. Viral tropism was R5 in 118 (83.1%) patients. Reasons for prescribing MVC: salvage therapy (36.6%), drug toxicity (31.2%), simplification (16.9%), and immunodiscordant response (7.1%). Median follow-up was 13 (9-16) months. In 95.8%, a PI/r was part of the regimen (67% on dual therapy). At months 12 and 24, 73.3% and 68.2% of patients had HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL, respectively (p = .041 and p < .001 vs. baseline). CD4

    Abstract Objective: To define the course of HIV-HCV-coinfected patients with compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis and to investigate the survival and the risk factors for death.
    Patients and methods: Ninety-two HIV-infected patients with HCV-related cirrhosis (50 of them without and 42 with previous decompensations) were prospectively followed up during a median period of 20 months. Clinical, biochemical, virological and immunological factors were analysed. Multivariate analyses were performed of those factors associated with decompensations and mortality.
    Results: There were 168 readmissions due to liver-disease-related causes. A Child-Pugh index > or =6 in those without previous decompensations (hazard ratio [HR] 7.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59-39.58; P = 0.014), and Child-Pugh index > or =9 (HR 2.68, 95% CI 1.13-6.33; P = 0.003) and absence of HAART (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.19-0.98; P = 0.048) in those with previous decompensations were independently associated with decompensation during the follow up. There were 27 deaths, 22 of them attributable to liver disease. Independent factors associated with liver-related mortality were a Child-Pugh index > or =9 (HR 6.24, 95% CI 2.31-16.85; P < 0.001), progression of Child-Pugh index during the follow up (HR 4.27, 95% CI 1.54-11.80; P = 0.008), more than one decompensation (HR 24.25, 95% CI 7.27-40.45; P < 0.001) and absence of HAART (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.12-0.98; P = 0.002).
    Conclusions: Evolution from compensated to decompensated cirrhosis and death is influenced by markers of liver function and the absence of HAART. The importance of this last element must be adequately stressed.

    Abstract Introduction: Due to their low CNS penetrance, there are concerns about the capacity of non-conventional PI-based ART (monotherapy and dual therapies) to preserve neurocognitive performance (NP).
    Methods: We evaluated the NP change of aviremic participants of the SALT clinical trial (1) switching therapy to dual therapy (DT: ATV/r+3TC) or triple therapy (TT: ATV/r+2NRTI) who agreed to perform an NP assessment (NPZ-5) at baseline and W48. Neurocognitive impairment and NP were assessed using AAN-2007 criteria (2) and global deficit scores (GDS) (3). Neurocognitive change (GDS change: W48 - baseline) and the effect of DT on NP evolution crude and adjusted by significant confounders were determined using ANCOVA.
    Results: A total of 158 patients were included (Table 1). They had shorter times because HIV diagnosis, ART initiation and HIV-suppression and their virologic outcome at W48 by snapshot was higher (79.1% vs 72.7%; p=0.04) compared to the 128 patients not included in the sub-study. By AAN-2007 criteria, 51 patients in each ART group (68% vs 63%) were neurocognitively impaired at baseline (p=0.61). Forty-seven patients were not reassessed at W48: 30 lost of follow-up (16 DT-14 TT) and 17 had non-evaluable data (6 DT-11 TT). Patients retested were more likely to be men (78.9% vs 61.4%) and had neurological cofounders (9.6% vs 0%) than patients non-retested. At W48, 3 out of 16 (5.7%) patients on DT and 6 out of 21 (10.5%) on TT who were non-impaired at baseline became impaired (p=0.49) while 10 out of 37 (18.9%) on DT and 7 out of 36 (12.3%) on TT who were neurocognitively impaired at baseline became non-impaired (p=0.44). Mean GDS changes (95% CI) were: Overall -0.2 (-0.3 to -0.04): DT -0.26 (-0.4 to -0.07) and TT -0.08 (-0.2 to 0.07). NP was similar between DT and TT (0.15). This absence of differences was also observed in all cognitive tests. Effect of DT: -0.16 [-0.38 to 0.06]) (r(2)=0.16) on NP evolution was similar to TT (reference), even after adjusting (DT: -0.11 [-0.33 to 0.1], TT: reference) by significant confounders (geographical origin, previous ATV use and CD4 cell count) (r(2)=0.25).
    Conclusions: NP stability was observed after 48 weeks of follow up in the majority of patients whether DT or TT was used to maintain HIV-suppression. Incidence rates of NP impairment or NP impairment recovery were also similar between DT and TT.

    Abstract Background: More than 50% of patients who start efavirenz treatment develop limiting neuropsychiatric adverse events (NPAEs).
    Objective: To assess whether stepwise dosing of efavirenz decreases the incidence and severity of NPAEs while maintaining virologic efficacy.
    Design: Randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
    Setting: 7 HIV clinics in Spain.
    Patients: 114 HIV-infected patients eligible for efavirenz treatment plus 2 nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
    Intervention: Random assignment (by computer-generated sequence) to receive efavirenz, 200 mg/d on days 1 through 6, 400 mg/d on days 7 through 13, and 600 mg/d on day 14 and after, or efavirenz, 600 mg/d, from day 1. Both groups received 2 nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors chosen by the patient's physician.
    Measurements: Neuropsychiatric symptoms and sleep quality were assessed by questionnaires at 0, 7, 14, and 30 days. The primary outcome was efavirenz-related NPAEs during the first 2 weeks, and the secondary outcome was plasma HIV RNA level at 24 weeks.
    Results: Compared with the stepped-dose group, the full-dose group had higher incidence and severity of dizziness (66.0% vs. 32.8%; P = 0.001), hangover (45.8% vs. 20.7%; P = 0.008), impaired concentration (22.9% vs. 8.9%; P = 0.038), and hallucinations (6.1% vs. 0%; P = 0.056) during the first week. From week 2, the incidence of efavirenz-related NPAEs was similar in both groups, although the severity was greater in the full-dose group. Virologic and immunologic efficacy seemed similar in both groups.
    Limitations: The sample size was calculated on the basis of a high absolute difference in rates of efavirenz-related NPAEs between the groups. A lower absolute difference and a larger sample size could have made the differences between groups reach statistical significance beyond the first week. In addition, the sample size does not allow confirmation of similar efficacy between treatment groups.
    Conclusion: Stepwise dose escalation of efavirenz over 2 weeks reduces the incidence and intensity of efavirenz-related NPAEs while maintaining efficacy.
