HIV Drug Resistance Assessment Among Women Who Seroconverted During the MTN-025/HOPE Open-Label Extension Dapivirine Vaginal Ring Trial
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes(2024)
摘要
Background: Clinical trials of dapivirine (DPV) vaginal ring have shown it is safe, effective, and desired by women as an HIV prevention option. The risk of drug resistance is a potential concern for DPV ring users who acquire HIV. We conducted a comprehensive resistance evaluation of plasma samples from the women who seroconverted during the Microbicide Trials Network-025/HIV Open-label Prevention Extension (HOPE) study of DPV ring.Methods: Plasma collected on the visit at which seroconversion was detected was tested by next-generation sequencing with unique molecular identifiers for non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) drug resistance mutations (DRM) present at >= 1% frequency. Bulk-cloned plasma-derived recombinant HIV was phenotyped in a TZM-bl-based assay for susceptibility to DPV and other NNRTI. HIV-1 RNA was retrospectively quantified in plasma samples collected before HIV seroconversion.Results: Among 38 participants who seroconverted in HOPE, 7 (18%) had NNRTI DRM detected by next-generation sequencing with unique molecular identifiers including A98G, K103N, V106M, E138A, and V179D. Six of 7 samples with NNRTI DRM had <3-fold reduction in susceptibility to DPV. Only 1 sample with K103N and V179I polymorphism had 9-fold reduction in susceptibility to DPV, but this genotype occurred in an individual who did not use DPV ring, likely indicating transmitted resistance. Detection of NNRTI resistance was not higher in individuals who remained on DPV ring >3 months after acquiring HIV infection.Conclusions: NNRTI resistance among women who seroconverted during HOPE was infrequent and selection of DPV-specific mutations was not detected. DPV ring is considered a safe and effective option for HIV prevention in women.
