A Study to Determine the Cartography of Virologic Reservoir Related to Antiretroviral Concentrations in HIV-1 Chronic Patients Treated by a First Line Treatment Containing bictégravir, Emtricitabine and ténofovir alafénamide

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
HIV-1-infection
Interventions
Other: Biopsies and bloood samplings
Registration Number
NCT05222945
Lead Sponsor
ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases
Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in HIV-1 chronic patients in the main putative reservoirs, namely inguinal lymph nodes, rectal, fat tissues and sperm.

Detailed Description

ANRS EP69 BICTEVOIR is an interventional pilot study, multicenter, involving the use of human biological samples.

34 HIV-1 infected male subjects, from Bicetre, La Pitié Salpêtriere, Antoine-Béclère, Necker, Hôtel-Dieu and Saint-Antoine Hospitals will be recruited.

Different samples will be performed during one single day:

* blood samples

* rectal biopsies

* nodes biopsies

* cutaneous fat tissues biopsies

* semen sample (at home)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in spermAt Day 0, At time T0 (before taking treatments)

Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in sperm

Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in fat tissuesAt Day 0, between T1 (maximum 3 hours after tacking treatments) and T3 (8 hours after taking treatments)

Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in fat tissues

Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in lymph nodesAt Day 0, between T1 (maximum 3 hours after tacking treatments) and T3 (8 hours after taking treatments)

Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in lymph nodes

Characterization of the diffusion of bictegravir and associated backbone (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine) in rectal tissuesAt Day 0, T1 (maximum 3 hours after taking treatment)

Dosage of the different antiretroviral drugs molecules in rectal tissues

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Description for each compartment of the relationship between exposure to therapeutic combinations and the level of infection / viral replicationAt Day 0

Characterization of the relationship between the concentration of bictegravir and backbone drugs with the level of wild type viral replication in the different compartments. Analyze of the impact of backbone drugs associated to bictegravir on viral level production. Correlation between the level of resistant virus replication and the exposure to bictegravir and the backbone drugs. Evaluation by simulation the effect of different dosing regimen of bictegravir (including higher doses) on the level of viral replication and on resistance

Characterization of the level of infection (DNA-HIV) in the reservoirsAt Day 0

Analyze and comparison of the reservoir level by measuring the cell-associated total HIV- DNA in the different tissues and fluids

Characterization of the level of the replication (RNA-HIV) in the reservoirsAt Day 0

Analyze and comparison of the level of viral transcription by measuring the cell-associated HIV- RNA in the different tissues and fluids: lymphoid, rectal, genital secretion, blood and fat biopsies as well as cerebrospinal fluid.

Study of the spatial dynamics of viral quasi-species In the different reservoirsAt Day 0

Analyze of the spatial dynamics of HIV-DNA and HIV-RNA from Lymphoid, rectal, genital secretion, blood, fat cells by phylogenetic analyses after sequencing Env HIV-DNA and HIV-RNA

Study of the mutations of resistance in the integrase geneAt Day 0

Description of resistance mutations in Integrase gene which could be linked to suboptimal concentrations of bictegravir
