Data on file, GlaxoSmithKline.
Median time to onset 9 days
89% of cases occurred within 6 weeks of ABC initiation
Serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity
Symptoms worsen during continued therapy with abacavir and usually resolve upon discontinuation
![Page 12: Manuel Battegay Div. Infectious Diseases & Hospital Epidemiology HIV complications and morbidity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514e68f550346b0338b5b13/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hypersensitivity to Abacavir
multi‑organ clinical syndrome usually characterized by a sign or symptom in 2 or more of the following groups:
• fever• rash• gastrointestinal (including nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, or abdominal pain)• constitutional (including generalized malaise,
fatigue, or achiness)• respiratory (including dyspnea, cough, or
pharyngitis).

Lipoatrophy vs Wasting Syndrome
• Lipoatrophy: loss of subcutaneous fat in face, buttocks, abdomen, and limbs
• Lean tissue: (muscle) not lost• Wasting syndrome: both fat, lean tissue, and weight
diminish

Lipoatrophy: Risk Factors
• Almost certainly interrelated
– Antiretroviral therapy
• Thymidine analogue exposure (d4T >ZDV)
• Combinations of ART (eg, EFV + NRTIs, NFV + NRTIs)
– Host factors
• Age
– HIV disease factors
• Duration of illness
• Severity of illness: AIDS, low CD4+ cell count

Lipohypertrophy• increase in fat depots —
typically visceral, dorsocervical, and breast tissue fat
• Subcutaneous fat (pinch an inch fat) does not increase
• Difficult to distinguish from general “lipohypertrophy” associated with modern living

Psychosocial Impact of body shape changes• Self-evaluated quality of relationships with friends, family, sexual
partner is inversely associated with self-perception of peripheral fat loss in HIV/AIDS outpatients (N=457)1
• A survey of HIV/AIDS patients with body fat changes (N=33)2 – Social withdrawal– Adversely affected sexual relationships – Forced disclosure of HIV status due to facial lipoatrophy– Depression – Poor body image– ART noncompliance– Economic impact of surgical interventions– more challenging than living with HIV

Conclusions
• Body shape changes are multifactorial• Lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy do not commonly
occur together• Newer NRTI have low- or non-existing potential for
body shape changes (abacavir, tenofovir)• Body shape changes are partly reversible• Abdominal fat increases are common to all ART
regimens studied so far• The psychosocial impact is strong

Conclusions• Strong correlation between LDL-C and CVD risk• HDL-C independent predictor of CVD• cART associated with increased risk of CVD, but
uncontrolled HIV infection also risk for CV events• Other traditional risks for CVD prevalent, including
those that can be modified (smoking)• NRTIs, NNRTIs, and PIs have varying effects on
lipids, insulin resistance, and fat distribution changes• Boosted PIs associated with increased prevalence of
dyslipidemia, although evidence suggests that RTV contributes substantially to lipid effects

Dietary Prevention of Dyslipidemia
• Randomized trial of NCEP diet in adults initiating ART (N = 90)– 95% on ZDV/3TC
– 75% on EFV
• 15- to 30-minute session with a dietician every 3 months
• Other outcomes – Reduced fat, calorie intake
– Reduced BMI
– Increased dietary fiber intake

Smoking Cessation: Nonpharmacologic Therapy
• Interventions– Identify reasons for quitting
– Discuss options
– Set a quit date, chosen by the patient
– Set up a support system
– Identify rationalizations
– Identify alternatives for cravings
– Provide reliable sources of information
– Refer to local smoking cessation programs
![Page 50: Manuel Battegay Div. Infectious Diseases & Hospital Epidemiology HIV complications and morbidity](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514e68f550346b0338b5b13/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Effective Smoking Cessation Strategies
• DHHS guidelines: pharmacotherapy for all patients attempting to quit smoking except those with medical contraindications – Approved pharmacotherapies: sustained-release bupropion, varenicline,
nicotine gum, inhaler, nasal spray, and patch
• More intensive intervention strategies significantly more effective than less intensive ones– Counseling sessions lasting > 3 minutes and > 10 minutes were 1.3-fold
and 2.3-fold, respectively, more likely to result in abstinence vs < 3 minutes
– 8 sessions were 2.3-fold more likely to result in abstinence vs 0-1 sessions
– Treatment by various clinician types, individualized counseling, and multiple intervention strategies associated with successful outcomes

Interactions Between Antiretrovirals and Smoking Cessation Drugs
• Varenicline – No reported drug interactions with antiretroviral agents– minimal metabolism, 92% excreted unchanged in the urine
• Bupropion– Metabolized in liver by various CYP450 enzymes, predominantly
CYP2B6 – LPV/RTV and bupropion coadministration resulted in significantly
decreased concentrations of bupropion and hydroxybupropion[1] – Administration of ritonavir alone—most potent CYP3A4 inhibitor—
may slow buproprion metabolism[2]
– Patients receiving boosted PIs should be monitored carefully for bupropion lack of efficacy and adverse effects

Lipid-Lowering Therapy vs Switching PI
• 12-month, open-label study of 130 patients; 60% male; mean age: 39 years
• Stable on first HAART regimen randomized to
– PI EFV (n = 34)– PI NVP (n = 29)– Add bezafibrate (n = 31)– Add pravastatin (n = 36)
• Pravastatin or bezafibrate significantly more effective in management of hyperlipidemia than switching ART to an NNRTI

Strategies for Managing Hypertriglyceridemia
NCEP ATP III final report. Circulation. 2002;106:3143-3421.
Initial intervention: dietary modifications
Consider antiretroviral switch options
If TG > 500-1000 mg/mL (> 5.65-11.30 mmol/L) and antiretroviral switch not possible, consider fibrates
– Gemfibrozil 600 mg BID or fenofibrate 200 mg QD associated with 20% to 50% decrease in TG in general population
If hypertriglyceridemia remains uncontrolled
– Fish oil (up to 6 g/day) or niacin (0.5 to 2g twice-dialy) can be added
– Niacin associated with flushing and increased insulin resistance

NEW NIH DHHS Guidelines„Some experts base the timing of initiation of antiretroviral therapy in treatment-naive patients with active TB disease on CD4 cell counts at the start of treatment, as shown below
• CD4 <100 ART after 2 weeks • CD4 =100–200 ART after 8 weeks • CD4 = 200–350 ART after 8 weeks* • CD4 >350 ART after 8-24 weeks or
after end of TB treatment*
* On case by case basis in clinician’s judgment.
A rifamycin should be included for pts receiving ART (dose adjustment) (AII). Rifabutin is the preferred rifamycin in HIV-infected pts with active TB disease due to its lower risk of substantial interactions with ART (AII).
