Abstract This retrospective chart review evaluated changes in serum creatinine and creatinine clearance (CrCl) after initiation of an integrase inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimen as initial treatment in human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults. Serum creatinine and CrCl changes were similar to those seen in clinical trials for INSTIs. No renal-related serious adverse events or discontinuations occurred.

Summaryhe difficulties in cardiovascular drug development have been exposed by recent clinical trials, which have uncovered various limitations of promising drug candidates. Yet, the imperative to improve medical treatment of atherosclerosis in aging populations afflicted by metabolic disease remains unbroken. Herein alternatives to metabolically active compounds such as glitazones and torcetrapib are introduced and discussed, namely CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonists recently approved for treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus-1, interceptors of proatherogenic chemokine interactions, and actively protective pathways. A combination of different strategies may yield improved safety profiles of these therapeutics.
