A Nucleoside- and Ritonavir-Sparing Regimen Containing Atazanavir Plus Raltegravir in Antiretroviral Treatment-Naïve HIV-Infected Patients: SPARTAN Study Results

Abstract: ATV+RAL, an experimental NRTI- and RTV-sparing regimen, achieved virologic suppression rates comparable to current standards of care for treatment-naïve patients. The overall profile did not appear optimal for further clinical development given its development of resistance to RAL and higher rates of hyperbilirubinemia with twice-daily ATV compared with ATV/RTV.

“…These results coupled with the relatively limited CNS penetration of atazanavir [31] have reduced enthusiasm for MVC/ATV/r. In the SPARTAN study, atazanavir 300 mg twice daily plus raltegravir 400 mg twice-daily was associated with high rates of raltegravir resistance during VF and treatment-limiting hyperbilirubinemia [3]. Similarly, LPV/r 400/100 mg twice-daily plus EFV 600 mg daily was associated with high rates of NNRTI resistance during VF [1].…”

“…This may be due to increased potency of these regimens, although studies of NRTI sparing regimens have not been proven to be better than NRTI containing regimens in naïve patients. [12][13][14] It is possible that the use of additional drugs is beneficial in the setting of NRTI resistance. Alternatively, the additional pill burden may have induced higher rates of adherence, at least upon initiation of the regimen.…”

“…Several trials addressed efficacy of NRTI-sparing regimens using boosted PIs and the integrase inhibitor raltegravir. In the randomized Spartan trial, which was not powered for statistical comparison of efficacy, twice-daily unboosted atazanavir plus raltegravir was compared to once-daily atazanavir plus two NRTIs in therapy naive patients (Kozal et al 2012). At 24 weeks of treatment, 74.6 % of patients in the dual arm had confirmed virological response, compared with 63.3 % in the standard of care arm.…”
