The differential impact of newer antiretroviral therapies (ART) on inflammation and immune activation has not been well described HIV infection Immune activation ART Systemic Inflammation End-organ disease Abstract WEAB0106LB Baker et al J Acquir Immune DeficSyndr 2011; 56: 36–43; NeuhausJet al J Infect Dis 2010; 201: 1788–1795; McComsey G et al AIDS 2012; 26: 1371–1385
Plasma biomarkers of systemic inflammation and immune activation have been identified as predictors of morbidity and mortality after ART Circulating biomarkers Systemic inflammation (hs-CRP, IL-6) Immune activation (sCD14, sCD163) ART All cause mortality/end-organ disease Kuller L et al PLoS Med 2008; 5: e203; Sandler N et al J Infect Dis 2011; 203: 780–790; Boulware D et alJ Infect Dis 2011; 203: 1637–1646 Abstract WEAB0106LB
It is unclear whether integrase inhibitors such as raltegravir (RAL) may reduce inflammation and immune activation compared to other ART RAL vs. PI/NNRTI ? ↑ penetration into the gut beneficial effects of RAL on lipid levels ↑ local control of viral replication and inflammation in other tissues? ? ? ↓ hepatic inflammation and steatosis ↓ formation of oxidized lipids ?

Study Aims / Hypothesis • To explore how markers of inflammation and immune activation behave after initial therapy with tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) plus atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r), raltegravir (RAL) or darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) • Exploratory hypothesis based on prior findings • Greater reductions in inflammation and immune activation would result with RAL compared to the PI-based regimens and with ATV/r compared to DRV/r Patterson K et al AIDS 2013; 27: 1413–1419;HatanoH et al J Infect Dis 2013; 208: 1436–1442; BuzonM et al Nat Med 2010; 16: 460–465; Vallejo A et al AIDS 2012; 26: 1885–1894; ByakwagaH et al J Infect Dis 2011; 204:1532–1540; Lam YM et al PLoS ONE 2012; 7: e3199 Abstract WEAB0106LB

Conclusions • Biomarker changes varied by regimen • Hs-CRP declined with ATV/r and RAL throughout 96 weeks • IL-6 declined with RAL, but not with ATV/r and DRV/r at 96 weeks • D-dimer declined with ATV/r and DRV/r • After ART initiation, T cell activation, sCD163 (but not sCD14) declined similarly across groups • Over 96 weeks of follow-up RAL does not have differential effects on systemic inflammation and immune activation compared to PIs (Vallejo A et al AIDS 2012; 26: 1885–1894; Byakwaga H et al J Infect Dis 2011; 204:1532–1540; Lam YM et al PLoS ONE 2012; 7: e3199). • These results suggest incomplete reversal of inflammation and immune activation in the setting of effective treatment with these different therapeutic agents. • Longer follow-up may better define regimen difference and correlations between these measures and long term complications.
