HIV and TB Alberto Matteelli WHO collaborative centre for TB/HIV co-infection Department of Infectious Diseases Brescia University Hospital, Brescia, Italy HIV and Co-Infections: HCV, Malaria, TB and Beyond
Outline of the presentation 1. Rationale for TB/HIV collaborative activities 2. Impact of HAART on TB/HIV co-infection 3. Treatment of co-infected patients 4. Collision between MDR-TB and TB/HIV co-infection
0–24 25–49 50–99 100–299 300 and higher No estimate available Estimated number of cases Estimated number of deaths 1.1 million (12%) (range: 1.0–1.2 million) 380,000 (range: 320,000–450,000) HIV-associated TB The Global Burden of TB -2009 People living with HIV have an estimated 20 to 30 times greater risk of developing active TB than people without HIV infection. TB is responsible for one in four AIDS deaths
Countries with the highest number of deaths from HIV-associated TB Time to act - Save a million lives by 2015 Prevent and treat tuberculosis among people living with HIV. WHO 2011
A. Establish the mechanism for integrated TB& HIV services Set up coordinating bodies for effective TB/HIV activities at all levels Conduct surveillance of HIV prevalence among TB cases Carry out joint TB/HIV planning Conduct monitoring and evaluation B. Decrease burden of TB among PLHIV (the "3 Is") EstablishIntensified TB case finding and ensure quality TB treatment Introduce TB prevention with IPT or ART Ensure TB Infection control in health care and congregate settings C. Decrease burden of HIV among TB patients Provide HIV testing and counselling to TB suspects & TB patients Introduce HIV prevention methods for TB suspects & TB patients Provide CPT for TB patients living with HIV Ensure HIV prevention; treatment & care for TB patients with HIV Introduce ARVs to TB patients living with HIV TB/HIV collaborative activities:a 12 points package
2011 WHO Recommendations on collaborative TB/HIV activities • "The 3 Is" • Infection control • Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) • Intensified TB case-finding
Reducing TB burden among PLWHA The 4th I Antiretroviral therapy Intensified case finding The 3 Is Isoniazid preventive therapy Infection control Adapted from WHO; 2009
Recurrent TB and ART in HIV-infected patients in Rio de Janeiro N=1042 – recurrences in 8.9% Golub et al., AIDS 2008; 22:2527
Impact of HAART on MDR-TB spread and outcome • During the 90s’, in the pre-HAART era, several MDR-TB outbreaks and high mortality reported among PLWHA in U.S. and Europe • Large outbreaks virtually disappeared after 1996 in these settings • In 2006 XDR-TB emerging as a global threat from outbreaks among PLWHA in South Africa, at a time where HAART coverage was marginal
Unmasking TB by HAART • During the three months following start of ART there is a spike of TB incidence Data from >100,000 PLWHA under programme conditions in Tanzania (2004 – 2009) Somi G, et al. Rome IAS Conference, 2011
Changes in TB incidence during 3 years of HAART in Europe and North America with regression curve fitted (number of cases per 1000 person-years of follow-up) Incidence at steady state 150 per 100,000 PYFU , which is 10-fold higher than in HIV negative population Girardi E, Clin Infect Dis 2005, 41: 1772
ART in HIV / TB patients HR for mortality 0.45 (0.26 – 0.79) in patients starting ART during TB therapy regardless of CD4 Trial stopped by the ethical committee Abdool Karim SS, N Engl J Med 2010; 362:697-706
CONCLUSION: Mortalitywasreducedby 34% when HAART wasinitiated 2 weeks vs 8 weeksafteronsetof TB treatment Early (2 weeks) vs. late (8 weeks) initiation of HAART: the CAMELIA study (Blanc et al). Kaplan-Meier Survival curve
Timing of ART in HIV / TB patients WHO recommendation • Start TB treatment first, followed by ART as soon as possible after starting TB treatment irrespective of CD4 cell count (strong recommendation – Moderate quality of evidence) WHO, 2010: ART guidelines
ART in TB patients by Region, 2008 Region started on ART AFR 30% AMR 67% EMR 55% EUR 29% SEAR 35% WPR 28%
Operationalising ART in TB patients • Rapid HIV diagnosis • Rapid CD4 determination (or identificatioon of surrogate markers – BMI,Hb, clinical or radiological signs) • Avalability of ART (often requires referral and loss during referral or delay) • Instruct on how to identify and manage IRIS • Improve communications between • HIV and TB services
The Camelia study: the median of the CD4 cellc count of enrolled patients was 25 cells STRIDE and SAPiT trials: for CD4> 50 there was no trend towards decreased death/AIDS events Timing of ART during TB therapy (1) Havlir D, et al. Abs 38, 18° CROI, Boston 2011 (2) Abdool Karim S, et al. Abs 39LB, 18° CROI, Boston 2011
Treatment strategies for TB/HIV co-infected patients • First choice: standard TB regimen • + • 2NRTI + Efavirenz • Is a first line option for HIV treatment • In the most widely used first line drug in resource limited settings • Allows for standard TB therapy • Allows for once a day therapy with minimal pill burden (Atripla) • Clinical trials available from South Africa and Thailand
What if efavirenz cannot be used ? Effect of RFM on Serum Concentrations of PIs and NNRTI PI NNRTI Nevirapine Efavirenz 37-58% 13-26% 80% 35% 90% 82% 81% 75% not done Saquinavir Ritonavir Indinavir Nelfinavir Amprenavir Lopinavir/ritonavir Atazanavir
Rifabutin and HIV drugs of the PI class Rifabutin can be used with LOPINAVIR, ATAZANAVIR, FOSAMPRENAVIR, DARUNAVIR, TIPRANAVIR always with RITONAVIR boosting • RIFABUTIN acceptable substitute for rifampicin, in standard TB regimens but: • not widely available • requires loose drugs
Rifabutin doses: still debated • 9/10 patients and 5/5 patients with low Cmax values (<30mg/ml) • Selection of rifa-R MTB Boulanger C, CID 2009 Khaci H, JAC 2009 Ritonavir increases rifabutin levels significantly, requiring a dose reduction to 150 mg every other day(DHHS) This recommendation is derived from PK studies in healthy volunteers • AUC significantly reduced compared to the standard in 16 TB/HIV patients in South Africa. AUC reverted by 150 mg daily during LPV/r treatment Naiker S, 18° ICAAR, 2011
Drug Interactions: Rifampicin and other HIV drugs NNRTIs Rifampicin decreases Etravirin exposure “significantly”. Combination not recommended CCR5 Inhibitors Rifampicin reduces maraviroc exposure by 63%. Maraviroc doses could theoretically be doubled but no clinical experience Integrase inhibitors Rifampicin reduces raltegravir exposure by 40-60%. Raltegravir 800 mg BID suggested, but optimal concentration range of this drug is unknown
The perfect storm • Areas of collision between MDR and TB/HIV epidemics already existent: • - South Africa • - Eastern Europe • - Central Asia
Outcomes of Treatment for MDR TB in the South African DOTS-Plus Program, 2002-2004 Farley, van der Walt, et al., IUATLD World Conference, 2007
Early diagnosis crucial for MDR-TB among PLWHA • Diagnostic capacity for MDR-TB inadequate in most countries (7% world-wide). We need; • - high quality culture and 1st and 2nd line DST • - molecular tests • - Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF HIV testing does not affect test performance Rachow A, PLoS-ONE 2011; 6: e20458
Key messages HAART expansion key to reduce the burden of HIV-associated TB Improve communications between TB and HIV service to operationalise dual treatment Actively promote the introduction of rifabutin in resource limited settings after defining appropriate doses Invest massively in TB lab platform. Widen acces to high quality culture or molecular tests. Use them preferentially for PLWHA who are TB suspect
