Switch from NNRTI plus TVD to STB Maintains HIV Suppression and is Well- Tolerated
Methods: Subjects suppressed on NNRTI + TVD for ≥ 6 months were randomized (2:1) to switch to STB or remain on their regimen. Eligibility criteria included CrCl ≥ 70 mL/min, no resistance to FTC and TDF, exposure ≤2 prior ARV regimens and no history of virologic failure. Primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects who maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL at W48 by FDA snapshot.
Results: 434 subjects were randomized and treated (291 STB; 143 NNRTI). Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. STB was noninferior to NNRTI regimens, as 93% and 88% respectively maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL at W48 (difference 5.3%, 95% CI -0.5%, +12.0%). Virologic failure rates were 1% with no resistance detected in either group. Mild and transient headache and nausea occurred at slightly higher rates in the STB than NNRTI group. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were low and similar in both groups. Median changes in CrCl (mL/min) at W48 were -11.6 and -0.2 respectively. Subjects who switched to STB reported lower rates of neuropsychiatric symptoms compared to baseline and to those remaining on NNRTI. They also reported more treatment satisfaction.
Conclusions: Switching to STB was associated with high rates of virologic suppression, no resistance development, favorable tolerability, and improved treatment satisfaction.

Organization/institution whose products or services will be discussed: STB does not currently have a "switch" indication in the FDA label, however this data is being submitted now to request this label change.
