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 A two week regimen of high dose integrase inhibitors does not cause nephrotoxicity in mice(Sage, 2015-04) Eadon, Michael T.; Zhang, Hongji; Skaar, Todd C.; Hato, Takashi; Dagher, Pierre C.; Gupta, Samir K.; Desta, Zeruesenay; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineBackground The integrase inhibitors, raltegravir and dolutegravir, are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-sparing agents which may be used as part of first-line antiretroviral therapy for HIV. These drugs inhibit creatinine secretion through organic cation transporters, thus elevating serum creatinine without affecting glomerular filtration. We sought to determine whether subtle signs of nephrotoxicity could be observed in mice administered a two-week regimen of high-dose integrase inhibitors. Methods C57BL/6 mice were fed standard water (CTRL, n = 6), raltegravir-containing water (40 mg/kg/day, n = 6), or dolutegravir-containing water (2.7 mg/kg/day, n = 6) for two weeks and sacrificed. Endpoints were assessed including urine microalbumin, kidney injury molecule-1 renal tissue gene expression, renal histopathology, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen. Results The results are NOT consistent with a direct nephrotoxic effect of the integrase inhibitors in mice. Serum creatinine was significantly elevated in raltegravir and dolutegravir mice (p < 0.05) compared to control (raltegravir = 0.25 mg/dl, dolutegravir = 0.30 mg/dl versus CTRL = 0.17 mg/dl). Blood urea nitrogen, cystatin C, and urine microalbumin were unchanged. Kidney injury molecule-1 tissue expression in raltegravir and dolutegravir groups was nonsignificantly elevated compared to control (1.2-fold compared to control). Renal histopathology by periodic acid–Schiff staining failed to reveal glomerular or tubular renal injury in any group. Conclusion These studies are consistent with integrase inhibitors competitively inhibiting creatinine secretion. While no evidence of direct nephrotoxicity was observed after two weeks of high-dose drug administration, additional studies may be performed to understand whether these drugs lead to chronic nephropathy.
