Abstrakt: Introduction: Pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa is rising, but evidence of its impact on efavirenz (EFV)-based antiretroviral treatment (ART) is inconclusive. We determined the impact of PDR on outcomes of EFV-based ART in a subanalysis of a randomized clinical trial comparing different ART monitoring strategies implemented at a rural treatment facility in Limpopo, South Africa.
Methods: Participants initiating EFV-based first-line ART (2015-2017) were enrolled and received 96 weeks follow-up. Resistance to nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-NRTI's (NNRTIs) was retrospectively assessed by population-based sequencing. Virological failure was defined as a viral load of at least 1000 copies/ml after at least 24 weeks of ART.
Results: A total of 207 participants were included, 60.4% (125/207) of whom were female. Median age was 38.8 (interquartile range: 31.4-46.7) years. Median CD4+ cell count was 191 (interquartile range: 70-355) cells/μl. PDR was detected in 12.9% (25/194) of participants with available sequencing results; 19 had NNRTI-resistance, and six had NRTI- and NNRTI-resistance. 26.0% of participants (40/154) with sequencing results and virological follow-up developed virological failure. PDR was independently associated with failure (adjusted hazard ratio: 3.7 [95% confidence interval: 1.68.5], P = 0.002). At failure, 87.5% (7/8) of participants with PDR harboured dual-class resistant virus, versus 16.7% (4/24) of participants without PDR (P = 0.0007). Virological resuppression after failure on first-line ART occurred in 57.7% (15/26) of participants without PDR versus 14.3% (1/7) of participants with PDR (P = 0.09).
Conclusion: PDR was detected in 13% of study participants. PDR significantly increased the risk of virological failure of EFV-based ART. Accumulation of resistance at failure and inability to achieve virological resuppression illustrates the profound impact of PDR on treatment outcomes.
