Background
To investigate the impact of the M184V/I mutation on virologic response to dolutegravir (DTG) + lamivudine (3TC) in suppressed-switch populations, a meta-analysis was performed using virologic outcomes from people with HIV-1 (PWH) with and without M184V/I before DTG + 3TC switch in real-world studies identified via systematic literature review. Sensitivity analyses were performed using data from PWH with M184V/I in interventional studies identified via targeted literature review.
Methods
Single-arm meta-analyses using common- and random-effects models were used to estimate proportions of PWH with virologic failure (VF) among real-world populations with and without M184V/I and interventional study participants with M184V/I at 24, 48, and 96 weeks.
Results
Literature reviews identified 5 real-world studies from 3907 publications and 51 abstracts meeting inclusion criteria and 5 interventional studies from 1789 publications and 3 abstracts. All time points had low VF incidence in PWH with M184V/I (real-world: 1.43%-3.81%; interventional: 0.00%) and without (real-world: 0.73%-2.37%). Meta-analysis–estimated proportions (95% CI) with VF were low at Weeks 24, 48, and 96, respectively, for PWH with M184V/I (real-world: 0.01 [0.00-0.04], 0.03 [0.01-0.06], and 0.04 [0.01-0.07]; interventional: 0.00 [0.00-0.02], 0.00 [0.00-0.01], and 0.00 [0.00-0.03]) and without (real-world: 0.00 [0.00-0.02], 0.02 [0.01-0.04], and 0.02 [0.00-0.05]). One real-world study (n=712) reported treatment-emergent M184V at VF in 1/652 (0.15%) PWH without prior M184V/I.
Conclusions
Results suggest that prior M184V/I has minimal impact on virologic suppression after switching to DTG + 3TC and provide reassurance when considering switching regimens in virologically suppressed PWH with incomplete treatment history or limited treatment options.
