Item Renal Safety of Tenofovir Alafenamide vs Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: A Pooled Analysis of 26 Clinical Trials(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-03) Gupta, Samir K.; Post, Frank A.; Arribas, José R.; Eron, Joseph J., Jr.; Wohl, David A.; Clarke, Amanda E.; Sax, Paul E.; Stellbrink, Hans-Jürgen; Esser, Stefan; Pozniak, Anton L.; Podzamczer, Daniel; Waters, Laura; Orkin, Chloe; Rockstroh, Jürgen K.; Mudrikova, Tatiana; Negredo, Eugenia; Elion, Richard A.; Guo, Susan; Zhong, Lijie; Carter, Christoph; Martin, Hal; Brainard, Diana; Sengupta, Devi; Das, Moupali; Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: Compared with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has been associated with improvement in markers of renal dysfunction in individual randomised trials; however the comparative incidence of clinically significant renal events remains unclear. Design: We used a pooled data approach to increase the person-years of drug exposure analysed, maximizing our ability to detect differences in clinically significant outcomes. Methods: We pooled clinical renal safety data across 26 treatment naïve and antiretroviral switch studies in order to compare the incidence of proximal renal tubulopathy (PRT) and discontinuation due to renal adverse events (AEs) between participants taking TAF-containing regimens versus those taking TDF-containing regimens. We performed secondary analyses from seven large randomised studies (two treatment-naïve and five switch studies) to compare incidence of renal AEs, treatment-emergent proteinuria, changes in serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, and urinary biomarkers (albumin, beta-2-microglobulin, and retinol binding protein to creatinine ratios). Results: Our integrated analysis included 9,322 adults and children with HIV (n = 6360 TAF, n = 2962 TDF) with exposure of 12,519 person-years to TAF and 5947 to TDF. There were no cases of PRT in participants receiving TAF versus 10 cases in those receiving TDF (p < 0.001), and fewer individuals on TAF (3/6360) versus TDF (14/2962) (p < 0.001) discontinued due to a renal AE. Participants initiating TAF- vs. TDF-based regimens had more favourable changes in renal biomarkers through 96 weeks of therapy. Conclusion: These pooled data from 26 studies, with over 12,500 person-years of follow-up in children and adults, support the comparative renal safety of TAF over TDF.Item Switching to Tenofovir Alafenamide, Coformulated With Elvitegravir, Cobicistat, and Emtricitabine, in HIV-Infected Patients With Renal Impairment: 48-Week Results From a Single-Arm, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase 3 Study(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer) - Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-04-15) Pozniak, Anton; Arribas, Jose R.; Gathe, Joseph; Gupta, Samir K.; Post, Frank A.; Bloch, Mark; Avihingsanon, Anchalee; Crofoot, Gordon; Benson, Paul; Lichtenstein, Kenneth; Ramgopal, Moti; Chetchotisakd, Ploenchan; Custodio, Joseph M.; Abram, Michael E.; Wei, Xuelian; Cheng, Andrew; McCallister, Scott; SenGupta, Devi; Fordyce, Marshall W.; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineBACKGROUND: Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a novel tenofovir prodrug with improved renal and bone safety compared with TDF-containing regimens. We report the 48 week safety and efficacy of a once-daily single tablet regimen of elvitegravir 150 mg (E), cobicistat 150 mg (C), emtricitabine 200 mg (F), and TAF 10 mg (E/C/F/TAF) in HIV-1-infected patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. METHODS: We enrolled virologically suppressed HIV-1-infected subjects with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) 30-69 mL/min in a single-arm, open-label study to switch regimens to E/C/F/TAF. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in glomerular filtration rate estimated using various formulae. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01818596. FINDINGS: We enrolled and treated 242 patients with mean age 58 years, 18% Black, 39% hypertension, 14% diabetes. Through week 48, no significant change in estimated CrCl was observed. Two patients (0.8%) discontinued study drug for decreased creatinine clearance, neither had evidence of renal tubulopathy and both had uncontrolled hypertension. Subjects had significant improvements in proteinuria, albuminuria, and tubular proteinuria (P < 0.001 for all). Hip and spine bone mineral density significantly increased from baseline to week 48 (mean percent change +1.47 and +2.29, respectively, P < 0.05). Ninety-two percent (222 patients) maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per milliliter at week 48. INTERPRETATION: Switch to E/C/F/TAF was associated with minimal change in GFR. Proteinuria, albuminuria and bone mineral density significantly improved. These data support the efficacy and safety of once daily E/C/F/TAF in HIV+ patients with mild or moderate renal impairment without dose adjustment.
