Abstract
|
OBJECTIVES: Although widely recommended, data about dolutegravir efficacy in HIV-1-infected children/adolescents are scarce, limited to short-term follow-up and mainly extrapolated from studies in adults with good adherence to treatment. This study aimed to provide long-term data about the risk of virological failure (VF) and acquired genotypic resistance in children and adolescents receiving dolutegravir. METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included 134 paediatric patients who received a dolutegravir-based regimen for >/= 12 months in 2014-2020. Virological failure was defined as not achieving a plasma viral load (pVL) < 50 copies/mL within 3 months of dolutegravir initiation or as experiencing virological rebound >/= 50 copies/mL. RESULTS: Most of the subjects were antiretroviral therapy-experienced (90.3%), naive from integrase inhibitors (90.3%) and displayed virological suppression at baseline (63.4%). Their median (interquartile range, IQR) age was 12.0 (8.0-15.8) years. Genotypic susceptibility score of the new regimen was >/= 2 in 96% of cases. Median (IQR) follow-up was 34 (22-50) months. Virological failure occurred in 43 people (32.1%), more frequently where the baseline pVL was >/= 50 copies/mL (67.4% vs. 22.0%, P < 0.01). M184V/I mutations in the reverse transcriptase gene were newly detected in three people with VF. Resistance to dolutegravir (mutations G118R and E138A in the integrase gene) emerged in one adolescent (0.7% of subjects, 2.3% of those with VF). CONCLUSIONS: Whereas VF is relatively common on dolutegravir in the paediatric population, regimens associating dolutegravir with more than one fully active drug were associated with a low rate of emergent drug resistance. This result strengthens the recommendation of dolutegravir as part of preferred combinations in children/adolescents.
