  12. The Rationale for Earlier Therapy • Easier, more potent, and less toxic therapy • Cohort studies showing benefit with earlier therapy • Better response to therapy • Decreased transmission

  14. The Rationale for Earlier Therapy • Easier, more potent, and less toxic therapy • Cohort studies showing benefit with earlier therapy • Better response to therapy • Decreased transmission • Prevent specific complications of HIV infection

  15. HIV-Associated Complications That Are Less CD4-Dependent • Neurocognitive impairment • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Neuropathy • HPV-associated dysplasia/cancer • Kaposi’s sarcoma

  16. The Rationale for Earlier Therapy • Easier, more potent, and less toxic therapy • Cohort studies showing benefit with earlier therapy • Better response to therapy • Decreased transmission • Prevent specific complications of HIV infection • Prevent non-opportunistic complications and death

  19. When to Start Therapy:DHHS Guidelines 1/9/2008 • AIDS or symptomatic HIV disease • Asymptomatic: • CD4 <350 • Pregnancy • HIV-associated nephropathy • HBV coinfection when HB therapy required

  20. When to Start Therapy:DHHS Guidelines 1/9/2008 • CD4 >350 • Optimal time to start therapy unknown • Considerations: • Motivation and adherence • Viral load • Rate of CD4 decline • Risk of sexual transmission(eg, discordant couples) • Other comorbidities

  21. Caveats! • Data guiding the initiation of therapy come from observational studies • Patients who start therapy with advanced disease may do poorly for reasons unrelated to their CD4 counts • We may never have data from controlled clinical trials

  22. PROS Could provide the definitive answer about when to start therapy CONS Previous attempts to enroll such trials have failed Expensive Observational data already compelling Will the question or the chosen CD4 thresholds still be relevant by the time the results are available? The Pros and Cons of a Randomized Trial

  23. Caveats! • Data guiding the initiation of therapy come from observational studies • Patients who start therapy with advanced disease may do poorly for reasons unrelated to their CD4 counts • We may never have data from controlled clinical trials • Many patients present with advanced disease

  24. When is ART Started?CD4 Count at Initiation, 2003-2005 • 42 countries, 176 sites; N=33,008 • Since 2000, CD4 count at initiation in developed countries stable at ~150–200, increasing in Sub-Saharan Africa from 50 to 100 • In US, CD4 at initiation lower than in many other resource-rich nations Egger M, et al. 14thConference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI). Feb 25-28, 2007. Los Angeles, CA. Abstract # 62.

  25. ACTG A5164: Improved Outcomes with Immediate ART During Acute Opportunistic Infections • Immediate vs deferred ART during acute OI • No difference in composite primary endpoint (virologic response, clinical progression, and death; P=.215) • Immediate treatment: • less clinical progression/death through Week 48 (P=.035) • shorter time to clinical progression or death (P=.023) • Safety and incidence of IRIS similar between groups • ~62% of patients presented with PCP; potential impact of steroids? Zolopa A, et al. 15th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI). February 3-6, 2008. Boston, MA.Abstract # 142.

  26. Treat immediately Conditions for which ART is best or only therapy: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy Dementia HIV-associated nephropathy Kaposis Sarcoma Cryptosporidiosis Microsporidiosis Conditions for which higher CD4 count improves prognosis Primary CNS lymphoma Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Consider delaying treatment Potential for immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) Tuberculosis M avium complex Cryptococcal meningitis Potential for overlapping drug toxicity or interactions Tuberculosis When to Start During Acute Opportunistic Infections
