简要总结
The study aims to determine the prevalence of drug resistance mutation (DRM) in virally suppressed HIV infection, and the impacts of regimen change and the presence of low level viremia. Adults living with HIV infection on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with full viral suppression would be recruited. Cases are patients planning for regimen switch, while controls are those with and without low level viraemia (LLV) not planned for switch. Blood samples would be collected before and after switch. Sequencing would be performed to identify DRM present in HIV-1 proviral DNA.
详细描述
Aim/objectives: With the aim of determining the impact of antiretroviral regimen and switch on archived HIV-1 drug resistance mutation (DRM), the study's objectives are, to: (a) estimate the prevalence of DRM in virally suppressed HIV infection; (b) assess changes in archived resistance before and after switch; and (c) identify predictors of archived DRM after regimen switch.
Design: A prospective observational study
Setting: All HIV specialist clinic services in Hong Kong
Methods: Adults living with HIV infection on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with full viral suppression who are planned for regimen switch would be recruited. Controls are patients with and without low level viraemia (LLV) not planned for switch, matched by antiretroviral regimen. Blood samples would be collected before switch, shortly and then 2-3 years after switch. Nanopore sequencing would be performed to identify DRM present in HIV-1 proviral DNA. Transcription of relevant clinical record data would be made to contribute to statistical and phylogenetic analyses
Main outcome measures: Change in DRM frequency between baseline and followups at (a) short term and long term; (b) occurrence of virological failure and time to failure; (c) difference in DRM frequency between presence and absence of LLV, and switched and non-switched patients.
