Paediatric HIV Drug Resistance in African Settings
Dr Cissy Kityo Mutuluuza INTEREST Meeting
May 5-9, 2014 Lusaka, Zambia
Background: ART for children in sub-Saharan Africa
2.3 million children with HIV
Treatment coverage estimated at 26% for Africa; 32% for Eastern and Southern Africa
2
HIVDR: Predisposing factors in children
– Exposure to antiretroviral medication for PMTCT Extended Nevirapine/Zidovudine Single dose nevirapine
• Higher baseline viral loads, longer time to suppression – Inappropriate dosing because of limited paediatric
formulations and weight changes – Limited training of HCW in pediatric management
• Adherence issues Reliance on adult caretakers Poorly palatable formulations (esp. liquids) 3
Pediatric HIVDR: extra challenges
• Life-long treatment with very
limited number of regimens
available
• HIVDR monitoring initiatives in
Africa have limited pediatric
cohorts

Rojas Sánchez P , and Holguín A J. Antimicrob. Chemother. 2014;jac.dku104
Although majority of HIV infected children live in Sub Saharan Africa, HIVDR data in children only available in 11 (20.7%) of the 53 African countries

HIVDR after treatment
• Monitoring initiatives in Africa have limited pediatric cohorts and mainly small numbers
– Published data • Uganda(4), Mozambique (2), Camerron, Senegal, Kenya (2), South
Africa, Ivory Coast, Malawi and Mali
• High proportion of children with drug-resistant HIV-1 infections after first-line ART failure in resource-limited settings (Sigaloff, Lancet Inf Dis 2011)
– Prevalence rates – very variable • NRTI – 0-100%, NNRTI – 0-100%, PI – 0-37%, NRTI & NNRTI – 0-100%
• NNRTI resistance most common: K103N, Y181C • NRTI: M184V en TAMs • PI: only in certain regions (South America, South Africa)
8
Monitoring Emerging HIVDR and Associated Factors in Sentinel ART Sites • Cohorts of approximately 130 ART-naive individuals
beginning ART followed for 12 months
• Baseline assessment of HIVDR: Genotyping, ARV history
• 12-month assessment of HIVDR:
– Status (lost to follow-up, stop, switch, still on first-line ART)
– Viral load + genotyping at 12 months if still on first-line ART, or at regimen switch

Single-dose NVP
When prophylaxis fails, NNRTI resistance in up to 60% of infants < 6m (Hunt, AIDS 2011)
Children with NVP exposure are less likely to achieve virological suppression on NNRTI-based regimens (Musiime AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 2009)

Pediatric HIVDR after PMTCT
Zimbabwe 232 children <18m
Silvia Bertagnolio, Bloemfontein HIVDR workshop November, 2013
Ugandan data underestimate pediatric HIVDR as compared to 100% PMTCT studies with younger children elsewhere in Africa
Swaziland 201 children <18m
Treatment after PMTCT
• Virological failure after 24 weeks of AZT, 3TC, LPV/r vs. AZT,
3TC, NVP: 21.7% vs. 39.6%
(Palumbo, N Eng J Med 2010)
• Baseline resistance to nevirapine was predictive of treatment
failure
• Protease inhibitor preferred to nevirapine in children with
exposure to single dose nevirapine

~75%
first-line
ARV-naive PMTCT
~15%
second-line
– Prospective cohort study of 360 children in Uganda on ART
– “PASER junior”
MARCH - objectives
- Measure baseline HIVDR prevalence in children
initiating first- or second-line ART
- Monitor virological response to treatment
- Determine prevalence and patterns of HIVDR in
children with detectable viral load
- Identify risk factors for virologic failure and HIVDR
Study design
• Prospective, observational cohort study of 120 HIV
positive children ≤ 12 years at @ of the 3 JCRC sites
• Eligible when initiating first-line ART or switching to
second-line ART due to treatment failure
• Follow-up 2 years, VL testing every 6 months
• HIVDR test if VL >1000 copies/ml at Reference
Laboratory in Kampala
MARCH (sub-)study results
Research question: • What are the factors influencing the timing of
pediatric ART initiation?
Methods • Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis

Conclusions
• Important barriers to care remain for children, accounting for< 35% ART coverage in most African regions
• Even among reportedly ARV-naïve children, drug-resistant virus was present in 8% (MARCH)
• Besides PMTCT exposure, maternal ART use and breastfeeding may be important risk factors for baseline HIVDR
• The PMTCT practices of the last decade (non-use of Maternal HAART) have contributed to early virologic failure. The use of Maternal HAART scale up needs to be monitored for pediatric HIVDR
Conclusions
• Extensive resistance at switch (46% multiple TAMs) due to delayed switching fear of exhausting treatment options in children?
• These high HIVDR rates necessitate continued national surveillance programs to monitor trends. Affordable viral load & drug resistance testing and improved access to alternative combinations of ARVs are urgently needed
