Abstract:
Thanks to the modern ARV regimens and the fact that the morbidity and mortality of metabolic syndrome increases with age, clinicians are continuously researching effective and safe antiretroviral regimens with low impact on the lipid profile. Doravirine (DOR) is the latest non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that shows long-term safety and tolerability and a favorable lipid profile. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of DOR-based three-drug regimens on the lipid profile in clinical practice. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 38 treatment-experienced, virologically suppressed people living with HIV (PLWH) switching to this regimen, following the eligibility criteria. We carried out comparison analysis of immunological and metabolic parameters between baseline and 48 weeks of follow up. In our cohort of treatment-experienced, virologically suppressed PLWH, three-drug regimens with DOR showed good efficacy and a positive profile on lipid metabolism at 48 weeks of follow up.
