Background • Intensification of successfulantiretroviraltherapy has beenproposed as a strategythatcould control residual replication, diminishthe HIV latentreservoirs, and so be usefulforeradication purposes1. • However, recentlyreportedstudieshavefailedtodemonstrateanysignificantimpact of treatmentintensificationon residual HIV-1 viremia in patientswithchronicinfectiontreatedwith HAART2,3 • As a consequence, intensificationisclosedtobeingdiscarded as usefulforeradicationpurposes.

Objectives • To evaluate the influence of treatment intensification with a CCR5 coreceptor antagonist (maraviroc) on: • Primary endpoint • - Latent HIV-1 reservoir • Secondary endpoints • - Residual viremia measured by ultrasensitive PCR (SCA, <1 copy HIV RNA/mL) • - Episomal DNA with 2 LTRs • - Immune activation markers IAS HIV RESERVOIRS WORKSHOP, 16 & 17 JULY 2010, VIENNA

Conclusions • After 48 weeks of intensification with MVC, a decrease in the size of the latent reservoir is observed in most patients evaluated. The quantification of the reduction is limited by the sensitivity of the method. • In an apparent paradox, an increase in the residual viremia (SCA) and the episomal DNA with 2 LTRs is found in some of the patients evaluated. • A reduction in the proportion of activated CD4 and CD8 cells was observed. • Overall, we feel that intensification with a CCR5 antagonist may have an impact on the reservoirs and deserves further evaluation.

Discussion The impact on residual replication and viremia is similar to previous reports: no impact/increase (Dinoso et al. PNAs 2009; Buzón et al. Nature Medicine, 2010) Only one previous study has measured episomal DNA with 2 LTRs: a transient increase was found during intensification with raltegravir (Buzón et al. Nature Medicine, 2010) IAS HIV RESERVOIRS WORKSHOP, 16 & 17 JULY 2010, VIENNA • No previous studies have evaluated the consequences of intensification on the latent reservoir in resting CD4 T cells in chronically infected patients • -Only one study has measured the effect of initial therapy with a 4 drug regimen, including enfuvirtide (Gandhi et al.JID 2009) • -One study evaluated the impact in patients treated during acute infection (Chun TW et al.JID 2007)
Discussion - Inhibition of viral replication in extra plasma sites (e.g. Gut) IAS HIV RESERVOIRS WORKSHOP, 16 & 17 JULY 2010, VIENNA - Activation of transcription by the mechanism of action of MVC - Evaluation of these mechanisms are currently in progress
