Dolutegravir transition and weight gain:
an updateAug 2020
Professor Francois Venter
Ezintsha, University of the Witwatersrand
Case studies: (1)
• 1) A healthy person starts the new dolutegravir-containing regimen. They gain 20kg, and are classified “obese”, but there are no other complications. The person is satisfied and wants to continue the treatment, but the nurse is worried.
Case studies (2)
• Previous case but:• Person now morbidly obese, with hypertension and has
developed diabetes;
• Nurse insisting on taking her off treatment, but she is saying she is happy with her weight and gaining more and is fine with the risk.
• What to do?

pregnancy, no baseline genotyping

How on earth did we get here?
• Uganda/ US/ UK – ‘higher life expectancy that matched populations
• HIV positive people are going to get old
Thanks: Julie Fox, Guys
So HIV-positive people are leading normal lives – which means they will gain weight
Lots of people stand to gain or lose from this being a side effect
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Governments, donors and budgets
• Researchers
People make a LOT of money from making you feel horrible about your
body – implicated in everything from depression to anorexia
And we aren’t really sure what is a “healthy diet”
Nature, 2013
Weight is culturally sensitive…
• Different communities = different perceptions of what is healthy, desirable, sexy
• Stigma that skinny = HIV, TB, other illness
• Advertising and magazines – steadily skinnier models
• Self-perception is important (and flawed)
But obesity IS an issue…
“The associations of both overweight and obesity with
higher all-cause mortality were broadly consistent in four
continents.”
Being obese is linked to lots of issues
• Diabetes (glucose)
• Hypertension (blood pressure)
• Lipids (cholesterol, LDL (‘bad cholesterol’)
• Strokes
• Heart attacks
• Cancer
• Joint pain
• Mental health issues
• Poor COVID outcomes

Lundgren, Matthew G Law
On behalf of the D:A:D Study group
Conclusion
• Increases in BMI across all levels of baseline BMI were consistently associated with increased risk of DM
• Increases in BMI across all levels of baseline BMI were not associated with an increased risk of CVD
Some evidence of an increased risk of CVD with a decrease in BMI (especially at low baseline BMI)
• The extent to which these results apply to PLHIV with increased weight while receiving contemporary ART are uncertain
• Further analysis of weight change, INSTI/TAF and clinical events is needed

Why INSTI?
• All well tolerated
• Highly effective
• New reference for ‘’third drug’’
Which INSTI agents are we talking about?
• Raltegravir • Well studied, relatively widely registered
• Can be used in paeds (>4 weeks)
• Had a role in PEP, Rx
• Expensive, high mg, twice daily till recently, no FDC
• Use in lower income countries largely confined to third line
• Unlikely to change in next 5 years – cost, co-formulation, TB, resistance barrier
• Role in children
• ? Any role in adults
• Elvitegravir • QUAD-Stribild
• First drug registered as FDC
• ’Boosted’’ – lots of drug interactions
• Limited registration, Gilead drug
• Expensive, but potential for price reduction
• Unlikely to change in next 5 years – cost, TB, pregnancy
• In fact, unlikely to be around!
• Bictegravir• Very similar to dolutegravir
• Co-formulated with TAF
• Very limited data in Africa
• Almost no pregnancy data
• TB data – high drug interaction potential
• ?role in our setting
• Cabotegravir
• Phase 2-3 as prevention and treatment
• Injectable
• 4 or 8 weekly
• For treatment: switch strategy with injectable rilpivirine
• Remarkably well tolerated! May be a more popular than first blush
Why dolutegravir?
• Very well tolerated
• Highly effective• Low mg, co-formulation with TDF and TAF by generics (ABC
co-formulation registered)
• Resistance profile compelling
• Creatinine clearance issue?
• TB a problem, but ?double dosing

• This ceiling price agreement could yield billions of rand in savings through TLD rollout and enable widespread access to a clinically superior regimen
• The TLD agreement lasts four years: 01 April 2018 – 31 March 2022
• Applies to over 90 countries
• Results of collaboration from many partners: Governments of Kenya and South
Africa, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Clinton Health Access Initiative;
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; President’s Emergency
Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR); United Kingdom’s Department for International

Weight gain likely to have a much greater impact…

So what are the issues in moving from EFV to DTG?
• Resistance – what if failing virologically?
• Side effects• Pregnancy – issues re teratogenicity
• CNS
• Weight gain
• Cape Town model – if you act on detectable viral loads FAST, >1/2 will suppress!
Outcomes after HIV RNA >50 at Week 48

• But didn’t affect response to NNRTI-based
treatment!
Addressing pretreatment TDR
Potent fixed-dose
combination
regimens
• Suppress HIV-RNA
• High adherence
• Promptly switch individuals with confirmed VF to
second-line treatment
• Minimize time spent on a failing regimen with
resistant virus
• Perform viral load monitoring
• HIV-DR testing with failure
VL monitoring
• Change first-line regimen at a national level,
from an NNRTI-based regimen to DTG- or bPI–
based regimen
Use agents with
high genetic barrier
• Which is the more cost-effective strategy?
Improve adherence • Strengthen adherence support
↓ chance of transmitting resistant virus
http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/255896/9789241512831-eng.pdf
Conclusions for me
• Weight gain is real – definitely associated with DTG, and with TAF
• DTG may not be as perfect as we hoped – but at the moment, only have efavirenz!
• No data on what to do if someone is gaining weight on either DTG or EFV (or anything else)
• When can we say “too much weight” and stop treatment (against the patient’s wishes)?
• Summary: switch when VL undetectable ideally (in context of drug stock outs); counsel re side effects –and probably try EFV/rilp until newer drugs come out
Thank you!
