Abstract Background Lenacapavir (LEN) is a first-in-class HIV-1 capsid (CA) inhibitor in clinical development for treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection. CALIBRATE is an ongoing, phase 2 clinical study evaluating subcutaneous (SC) or oral LEN, in combination with other antiretrovirals, in treatment-naïve people with HIV-1. High rates of virologic success (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) were achieved with LEN-based regimens by FDA Snapshot analysis at Week 28. Here, we present interim resistance analyses through Week 28. Methods Participants were randomized (2:2:2:1) to treatment groups (TG) (Figure): SC LEN + oral daily emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF); at Week 28, participants switch F/TAF to oral TAF (TG-A) or bictegravir (B, BIC) (TG-B); oral daily LEN + F/TAF (TG-C), or oral daily B/F/TAF (TG-D). Genotypic analyses (population sequencing) of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and integrase, and genotypic (deep sequencing)/phenotypic analyses for CA were performed at screening; genotypic and phenotypic analyses were conducted at confirmed virologic failure. Figure CALIBRATE Study Design Results 182 participants were randomized and dosed in TG-A to D (n=52, 53, 52, 25). Most participants had subtype B HIV-1 (92.9%). Sequence analysis of baseline samples found 65% of amino acid residues were conserved with < 1% variation across CA overall, and 55% of residues were fully conserved. No mutations were detected at 6 positions in CA associated with reduced susceptibility to LEN in vitro; residues were fully conserved at 5 positions (L56, M66, Q67, K70, N74), and < 2% variation was observed at 1 position (T107). Three participants met the criteria for resistance analysis: 2 participants resuppressed to < 50 copies/mL while continuing treatment. One participant on SC LEN + F/TAF developed emergent resistance to LEN (Q67H+K70R) and emtricitabine (M184M/I), followed by resuppression after starting dolutegravir, zidovudine + lamivudine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Conclusion Emergent resistance to LEN was uncommon in treatment-naïve participants receiving SC or oral LEN (0.6%, 1/157). These interim resistance findings support the ongoing evaluation of LEN for treatment and prevention of HIV.

The FLAIR study demonstrated noninferiority of monthly long-acting cabotegravir + rilpivirine vs daily oral dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine for maintaining virologic suppression. Three participants who received long-acting therapy had confirmed virologic failure (CVF) at Week 48, and all had HIV-1 that was originally classified as subtype A1 and contained the baseline integrase polymorphism L74I; updated classification algorithms reclassified all 3 as HIV-1 subtype A6. Retrospectively, the impact of L74I on in vitro sensitivity and durability of response to cabotegravir in HIV-1 subtype B and A6 backgrounds was studied. Site-directed L74I and mutations observed in participants with CVF were generated in HIV-1 subtype B and a consensus integrase derived from 3 subtype A6 CVF baseline sequences. Rilpivirine susceptibility was assessed in HIV-1 subtype B and A1 containing reverse transcriptase mutations observed in participants with CVF. HIV-1 subtype B L74I and L74I/G140R mutants and HIV-1 subtype A6 I74L and I74/G140R mutants remained susceptible to cabotegravir; L74I/Q148R double mutants exhibited reduced susceptibility in HIV-1 subtypes B and A6 (half maximal effective capacity fold change, 4.4 and 4.1, respectively). Reduced rilpivirine susceptibility was observed across HIV-1 subtypes B and A1 with resistance-associated mutations K101E or E138K (half maximal effective capacity fold change, 2.21 to 3.09). In cabotegravir breakthrough experiments, time to breakthrough was similar between L74 and I74 viruses across HIV-1 subtypes B and A6; Q148R was selected at low cabotegravir concentrations. Therefore, the L74I integrase polymorphism did not differentially impact in vitro sensitivity to cabotegravir across HIV-1 subtype B and A6 integrase genes (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02938520).

Introduction Maraviroc inhibits CCR5-tropic HIV-1 across different subtypes in vitro and has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials. V3-loop amino acid variants observed in individual maraviroc-resistant viruses have not been found to be predictive of reduced susceptibility. Sequence-database searches have demonstrated that approximately 7.3% of viruses naturally encode these variants, raising concerns regarding potential pre-existing resistance. A study from Russia reported that combinations of these same amino acids are present in the V3 loops of the Russian variant subtype A (IDU-A, now A6) with a much greater prevalence (range: 74.4%–92.3%) depending on the combination. However, these studies and database searches did not include phenotypic evaluation. Methods Sixteen Russian HIV-1 isolates (including sub-subtype A6 viruses) were assessed for V3 loop sequence and phenotypic susceptibility to maraviroc. Results All 12 of the A6 viruses and 2/4 subtype B isolates encoded V3-loop variants that have previously been identified in individual virus isolates with reduced susceptibility to maraviroc. However, despite the prevalence of these V3-loop amino acid variants among the tested viruses, phenotypic sensitivity to maraviroc was observed in all instances. Similarly, reduced susceptibility to maraviroc was not found in virus from participants who experienced virologic failure in a clinical study of maraviroc in Russia (A4001101, [NCT01275625]). Discussion Altogether, these data confirm that the presence of individual or combinations of V3-loop amino acid residues in sub-subtype A6 viruses alone does not predict natural resistance to maraviroc and that V3-loop genotype analysis of R5 virus prior to treatment is not helpful in predicting clinical outcome.

ABSTRACT Etravirine (ETR) is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used in treatment-experienced individuals. Genotypic resistance test-interpretation systems can predict ETR resistance; however, genotype-based algorithms are derived primarily from HIV-1 subtype B and may not accurately predict resistance in non-B subtypes. The frequency of ETR resistance among recombinant subtype C HIV-1 and the accuracy of genotypic interpretation systems were investigated. HIV-1LAI containing full-length RT from HIV-1 subtype C-positive individuals experiencing virologic failure (>10,000 copies/ml and >1 NNRTI resistance-associated mutation) were phenotyped for ETR susceptibility. Fold change (FC) was calculated against a composite 50% effective concentration (EC50) from treatment-naive individuals and three classifications were assigned: (i) <2.9-FC, susceptible; (ii) ≥2.9- to 10-FC, partially resistant; and (iii) >10-FC, fully resistant. The Stanford HIVdb-v8.4 was used for genotype predictions merging the susceptible/potential low-level and low-level/intermediate groups for 3 × 3 comparison. Fifty-four of a hundred samples had reduced ETR susceptibility (≥2.9-FC). The FC correlated with HIVdb-v8.4 (Spearman’s rho = 0.62; P < 0.0001); however, 44% of samples were partially (1 resistance classification difference) and 4% completely discordant (2 resistance classification differences). Of the 34 samples with an FC of >10, 26 were HIVdb-v8.4 classified as low-intermediate resistant. Mutations L100I, Y181C, or M230L were present in 27/34 (79%) of samples with an FC of >10 but only in 2/46 (4%) of samples with an FC of <2.9. No other mutations were associated with ETR resistance. Viruses containing the mutation K65R were associated with reduced ETR susceptibility, but 65R reversions did not increase ETR susceptibility. Therefore, genotypic interpretation systems were found to misclassify ETR susceptibility in HIV-1 subtype C samples. Modifications to genotypic algorithms are needed to improve the prediction of ETR resistance for the HIV-1 subtype C.

Abstract SANORG 34006 is a new sulfated pentasaccharide obtained by chemical synthesis. It is an analog of the “synthetic pentasaccharide” (SR 90107/ ORG 31540) which represents the antithrombin (AT) binding site of heparin. SANORG 34006 showed a higher affinity to human AT than SR 90107/ORG 31540 (kd = 1.4 ± 0.3 v 48 ± 11 nmol/L), and it is a potent and selective catalyst of the inhibitory effect of AT on factor Xa (1,240 ± 15 anti–factor Xa U/mg v850 ± 27 anti-factor Xa U/mg for SR 90107/ORG 31540). In vitro, SANORG 34006 inhibited thrombin generation occurring via both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathway. After intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration to rabbits, SANORG 34006 displayed a long-lasting anti–factor Xa activity and inhibition of thrombin generation (TG) ex vivo. SANORG 34006 was slowly eliminated after IV or SC administration to rats, rabbits, and baboons, showed exceptionally long half-lives (between 9.2 hours in rats and 61.9 hours in baboons), and revealed an SC bioavailability near 100%. SANORG 34006 displayed antithrombotic activity by virtue of its potentiation of the anti–factor Xa activity of AT. It strongly inhibited thrombus formation in experimental models of thromboplastin/stasis-induced venous thrombosis in rats (IV) and rabbits (SC) (ED50values = 40.0 ± 3.4 and 105.0 ± 9.4 nmol/kg, respectively). The duration of its antithrombotic effects closely paralleled the ex vivo anti–factor Xa activity. SANORG 34006 enhanced rt-PA–induced thrombolysis and inhibited accretion of125I-fibrinogen onto a preformed thrombus in the rabbit jugular vein suggesting that concomitant use of SANORG 34006 during rt-PA therapy might be helpful in facilitating thrombolysis and preventing fibrin accretion onto the thrombus under lysis. Contrary to standard heparin, SANORG 34006 did not enhance bleeding in a rabbit ear incision model at a dose that equals 10 times the antithrombotic ED50 in this species and, therefore, exhibited a favorable therapeutic index. We suggest that SANORG 34006 is a promising compound in the treatment and prevention of various thrombotic diseases.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the surveillance of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs) to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of HIV treatment programs. Objective: Our aim was to determine the TDRMs and evaluate the distribution of HIV-1 subtypes using and compared next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger-based sequencing (SBS) in a cohort of 44 antiretroviral treatment-naïve patients. Methods: All samples that were referred to the microbiology laboratory for HIV drug resistance analysis between December 2016 and February 2018 were included in the study. After exclusions, 44 treatment-naive adult patients with a viral load of >1000 copies/mL were analyzed. DNA sequencing for reverse transcriptase and protease regions was performed using both DeepChek ABL single round kit and Sanger-based ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System. The mutations and HIV-1 subtypes were analyzed using the Stanford HIVdb version 8.6.1 Genotypic Resistance software, and TDRMs were assessed using the WHO surveillance drug-resistance mutation database. HIV-1 subtypes were confirmed by constructing a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree using Los Alamos IQ-Tree software. Results: NGS identified nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-TDRMs in 9.1% of the patients, non-nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-TDRMs in 6.8% of the patients, and protease inhibitor (PI)-TDRMs in 18.2% of the patients at a detection threshold of ≥1%. Using SBS, 2.3% and 6.8% of the patients were found to have NRTI- and NNRTI-TDRMs, respectively, but no major PI mutations were detected. M41L, L74I, K65R, M184V, and M184I related to NRTI, K103N to NNRTI, and N83D, M46I, I84V, V82A, L24I, L90M, I54V to the PI sites were identified using NGS. Most mutations were found in low-abundance (frequency range: 1.0% - 4.7%) HIV-1 variants, except M41L and K103N. The subtypes of the isolates were found as follows; 61.4% subtype B, 18.2% subtype B/CRF02_AG recombinant, 13.6% subtype A, 4.5% CRF43_02G, and 2.3% CRF02_AG. All TDRMs, except K65R, were detected in HIV-1 subtype B isolates.. Conclusion: The high diversity of protease site TDRMs in the minority HIV-1 variants and prevalence of CRFs were remarkable in this study. All minority HIV-1 variants were missed by conventional sequencing. TDRM prevalence among minority variants appears to be decreasing over time at our center.

The objective of this study is to identify subtypes of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) and to analyze the presence of mutations associated to antiretroviral resistance in the protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) regions from 48 HIV-1 positive treatment naïve patients from an outpatient clinic in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. Sequencing was conducted using PR, partial RT and group-specific antigen gene (gag) nested PCR products from retrotranscribed RNA. Transmitted resistance was determined according to the Surveillance Drug Resistance Mutation List (SDRM) algorithm. Phylogenetic and SimPlot analysis of concatenated genetic segments classified sequences as subtype B 19/48 (39.6%), subtype C 12/48 (25%), subtype F 4/48 (8.3%), with 13/48 (27.1%) recombinant forms. Most recombinant forms were B mosaics (B/F 12.5%, B/C 10.4%), with one C/F (2.1%) and one complex B/C/F mosaic (2.1%). Low levels of transmitted resistance were found in this study, 2/48 (2.1% to NRTIs and 2.1% for PI). This preliminary data may subsidize the monitoring of the HIV evolution in the region.

Abstract Background Phase III/IIIb studies demonstrated cabotegravir (CAB) + rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) dosed every 4 weeks (Q4W) was noninferior to current antiviral regimen (CAR) (FLAIR and ATLAS) and CAB + RPV LA dosed every 8 weeks (Q8W) was noninferior to Q4W (ATLAS-2M) through Week 48 (W48). HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) blips (viral load [VL] ≥50 to &lt; 200 c/mL) are common during antiretroviral therapy (ART) and generally not associated with subsequent virologic failure (2 consecutive HIV-1 RNA ≥200 c/mL). We compared the frequency of HIV-1 RNA blips and low-level qualitative and quantitative HIV-1 RNA replication among participants treated with CAB+RPV LA and oral CAR and assessed impact on virologic outcome. Methods Plasma samples collected at study visits were analyzed for HIV-1 RNA viral load using the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 assay and qualitative target detected (TD) or target not detected (TND) outcomes were provided for HIV-1 RNA &lt; 40 c/mL. The HIV-1 SuperLow assay (bioMONTR Labs) was used to measure HIV-1 RNA &lt; 2 c/mL at Baseline and W48. Results The proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA blips was similar overall between Q4W CAB + RPV LA and CAR arms in FLAIR (38/283 [13%] vs 39/283 [14%]) and ATLAS (17/308 [6%] vs 23/308 [7%]). Presence of HIV-1 RNA blips in either arm was not associated with virologic non-response at W48 (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 c/mL per US Food and Drug Administration Snapshot). In ATLAS-2M, HIV-1 RNA blips were observed in 32/523 (6%; Q4W) and 18/522 (3%; Q8W) of participants, with W48 virologic nonresponse in 2 Q4W and 0 Q8W participants. TD outcomes at individual study visits were comparable between study arms for the 3 studies. At W48, the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA &lt; 2 c/mL was similar to Baseline and similar between treatment groups in all studies. Conclusion The proportions of study participants with HIV-1 RNA blips, TD viral load results, and HIV-1 &lt; 2 c/mL were similar between the Q4W and Q8W CAB+RPV LA and the oral 3-drug CAR arms through W48 in phase III/IIIb studies. HIV-1 RNA blips did not predict virologic nonresponse (Snapshot analysis) at W48. Disclosures Christine L.

ABSTRACT We have tested a panel of pediatric and adult human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) primary isolates for the ability to employ the following proteins as coreceptors during viral entry: CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR8, CXCR4, Bonzo, BOB, GPR1, V28, US28, and APJ. Most non-syncytium-inducing isolates could utilize only CCR5. All syncytium-inducing viruses used CXCR4, some also employed V28, and one (DH123) used CCR8 and APJ as well. A longitudinal series of HIV-1 subtype B isolates from an infected infant and its mother utilized Bonzo efficiently, as well as CCR5. The maternal isolates, which were syncytium inducing, also used CXCR4, CCR8, V28, and APJ.
