Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission:State of the Art Lynne M. Mofenson, M.D. Pediatric, Adolescent and Maternal AIDS Branch National Institute of Child Health and Human Development National Institutes of Health Department of Health and Human Services
Overview • Current trends in MTCT in U.S. • Results of initial short-course ARV prophylaxis trials. • Results of newer trials to enhance efficacy of short-course ARV prophylaxis. • Ongoing trials to reduce breastfeeding transmission. • Issues related to NVP resistance. • Challenges in PMTCT globally.
Perinatal HIV Transmission: United States • In the U.S., ~6,000-7,000 HIV-infected women give birth annually. • Prior to 1994, ~25% of their infants became infected. • Following results of PACTG 076, transmission rates dropped to 5-8%. • With current recommendations for use of HAART and elective C/S for women with HIV RNA >1,000 and for avoidance of breastfeeding, transmission has decreased to <2% for women identified early in pregnancy.
Perinatal HIV Transmission: Global • Globally, >2 million HIV-infected women give birth annually, most in resource-poor countries, where regimens used in US are too complex and expensive to use. • Transmission rates in breastfeeding women without antiretroviral prophylaxis are between 30-40%. • About 2,000 children become infected daily; in 2003, an estimated 700,000 infants were newly infected with HIV.
Initial Phase of Perinatal Trials Short-Course AZT Short-Course Combination Single-Dose NVP
First Phase of Perinatal Clinical TrialsPost-PACTG 076 • Following PACTG 076, recognition of the need to develop shorter, less expensive regimens more applicable to resource-limited settings. • Studies first focused on modifications of AZT-alone prophylactic regimens. • Studies also explored whether short-course combination regimens might have improved efficacy. • Studies asked if similar efficacy to combination could be achieved with alternative drugs that were less expensive and could be used in very simple regimens.

Conclusions from Completed Trials • While 3-part AP/IP/PP prophylaxis is most effective, both AP/IP and IP/PP ARV regimens can significantly reduce transmission (PHPT-1, PETRA,Thai, 012). • Longer (28 weeks) AP treatment is more effective than shorter (36 weeks) AP therapy, showing that a significant proportion of in utero infection occurs between 28 and 36 weeks (PHPT-1). • AZT/3TC prophylaxis is more effective than AZT alone in short-course regimens (ANRS 075, Thai MOH, DITRAME) . • However, IP/PP AZT/3TC has similar efficacy to single-dose NVP (SAINT).
Conclusions from Completed Trials • Results from trials indicate utility of both viral load reduction at delivery and of neonatal pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis. • Some washout AZT effect and NVP effect by late breast feeding transmission through age 18-24 months but still effective (Ivory Coast, 012).
Second Phase Perinatal Trials Enhancing Efficacy of Short-Course Regimens: Single-Dose NVP plus Short-Course AZT
More Recent Completed Trials Have Focused on Enhancement of Short-Course Regimens • Addition of single-dose NVP to short-course AZT regimens appears to improve efficacy in formula- and breast-fed populations (PHPT-2, DITRAME-Plus). • However, addition of NVP to standard ARV regimens used in U.S. did not offer additional benefit (PACTG 316). • Single dose NVP plus AZT has better efficacy than NVP alone if mother hasn’t received single dose IP NVP (NVAZ). • However, if mother has received single dose IP NVP, combination doesn’t appear to offer benefit (NVAZ).

Why Differences Between Thai Studies and PACTG 316 in SD NVP Efficacy? • Thai studies: • Evaluated efficacy of SD NVP combined with short-course AZT alone. • Single-dose NVP most effective with: • Higher HIV RNA levels (low if RNA <4,000). • Lower maternal CD4 (low if CD4 >400). • PACTG 316: • Evaluated efficacy of SD NVP combined with 076 AZT or combination ARV (77% received antenatal combination ARV). • Median HIV RNA: 400 (IQR, 200-2,309). • Median CD4 count: 434 (IQR, 296-594).

Current Third Phase Perinatal Trials: Infant Prophylaxis Breastfeeding NVP Resistance
New Focus of Perinatal Trials • Infant prophylaxis in formula-fed infants: enhancing efficacy of standard 6 week AZT? • Exclusive breastfeeding/timing weaning. • Prophylaxis of breastfeeding: • Immunoprophylaxis. • ARV prophylaxis of infants. • ARV prophylaxis of mothers. • NVP resistance after single dose • Response to NVP prophylaxis in 2nd pregnancy after prior single-dose NVP. • Response to NNRTI therapy after receipt of single-dose NVP. • Ways to decrease develop resistance.

Modifying Infant Feeding Practices • Exclusive breastfeeding vs mixed feeding Rationale: S. African study suggests exclusive BF associated with less transmission than mixed feeding • Timing and duration of breastfeeding cessation Rationale: Earlier BF cessation and reducing period of mixed feeding with a shorter weaning duration might reduce the risk of transmission • Exclusive Breastfeeding study - Kwazulu Natal, South Africa (ongoing) • ZEBS - Lusaka, Zambia (ongoing) • ZVITAMBO - Harare, Zimbabwe (recruitment completed) • DITRAME Plus - Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire (ongoing) • MASHI - Botswana (ongoing)
Immunoprophylaxis of BF Transmission Passive immunoprophylaxis • HIV1GLOB/NVP study - Kampala, Uganda • Mother: NVP at onset labour • Child: NVP at birth Study arms: 1) Child – 6 wks infant NVP vs 2) HIV1GLOB: Mother – 37-38 weeks pregnancy + Child – <24 hours birth vs 3) No added treatment • Monoclonal antibodies – Phase I pharmacokinetic and safety study - Durban, S. Africa (RO1, Coovadia) Active immunoprophylaxis • HIVNET 027 – canarypox HIV vaccine in neonates

Important Issues in Interpreting Results and Policy Implications • No control arm. • Background maternal AP/IP/PP ARV not standard in many countries. • BF tx associated with RNA plasma/milk; in SIMBA, mom’s AP ARV resulted in delivery RNA 2.7 log & mom got 1 wk PP ARV - could BF tx be decreased even without infant ARV? • Exclusive BF rate high; effect on BF tx? • BF duration (and risk tx) short, median 3.5 mos: comparison should be with tx rate in infants at risk for BF tx for same time period. • 2.4% rate postnatal tx comparable to postnatal tx between birth and 4 months in HIVNET 012 women with RNA <4.4 (median 3.8 log) = 2.8%.

Maternal Antiretroviral Prophylaxis and Reduction of Postnatal Transmission? • Maternal combination ARV would: • Improve maternal health and survival and possibly limit development of resistance from drugs where a single mutation causes resistance (3TC, nevirapine are special concerns). • Lower maternal antenatal viral load and decrease antepartum and intrapartum transmission. • Has potential for prevention of breast milk transmission.
