How to best manage HIV patient ? 1 2 Treatment Failure Treatment success HIV therapy = a long life therapy
Why do we want to change a suppressive ART ? Reservoir Side effect Reduce drug burden Prevention Comorbidities How to modify ART? Simplification

Concepts in Induction Maintenance ART Maintenance strategy Nb drugs required Depending on - HIV - RNA - CD4 - HIV DNA Which antiviral potency do we need - to maintain viral suppression - CD4 above 500 /mm3 - without enlarging reservoir ? Viral load 2–5 log drop Which markers can we use ? Viral DNA ? Activation markers ? Time
Drugs with relatively low potency and genetic barrier to resistance Simplication with drug burden reduction Monotherapy ? Newer efficacious and well tolerated ARVs with higher potency and genetic barrier to resistance Dual Therapy Dual Therapy Drugs with relatively low potency and genetic barrier to resistance ? Triple Therapy Triple therapy needed to ensure efficacy and limited emergence of resistance1 1. Perez-Valero I, et al. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2011;66:1954–62.
Switching therapy Objective : maintain viral suppression Decrease drug burden Decrease/ prevent toxicity Simple regimen Robust regimen Reconstitutes ART and resistance history The switched regimen has to include potent and robust drugs Do not let a drug in a position of functionnal monotherapy Do not keep resistant drugs that cumulates toxicity and cost

MONOI Primary Endpoint W48 DRV/r DRV/r + NRTIs Who are the patients with VL< 50 cp/ml in DRV/r ? Patients with low VL and low DNA Now coming to the RESULTS and the PRIMARY END POINT AT W48 - Considering the per protocol population , the rate of virologic success of DRV monotherapy was 94.1% compared to 99% in the triple therapy group; the difference was 4.9% with a lower limit of CI of -9% under the 10% limit allowing therefore to assess the non-inferiority in the efficacy of monotherapy Considering then the intent to treat population , - the rate of success was 92% in the triple therapy arm and 87.5%in the monotherapy; - While the difference between the 2 arms is very consistent with a 4.5% difference, here the lower limit of CI is 11% which does not allow to assess non inferiority of the monotherapy arm.
