چکیده
BACKGROUND Consensus on the interpretation of mutations in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) gene that predict the response to didanosine treatment is needed. METHODS Baseline HIV-1 RT genotypes and 12-week virological outcomes for patients undergoing didanosine-containing salvage regimens were extracted from prospective studies. Existing didanosine genotypic-resistance interpretation rules were validated in the entire-patient data set. Mutations were given weighted positive or negative scores according to their coefficient of correlation with virological response in a derivation set. The score resulting from the algebraic sum of the mutations was then validated in an independent data set. RESULTS A total of 485 patients were analyzed. The didanosine-resistance scores derived from the Jaguar and Gesca studies predicted virological outcome. The best correlation with response was found with the derived score (M41L x 2) + E44D/A/G + T69D/S/N/A + (L210W x 2) + T215Y or revertants + L228H/R - D123E/N/G/S, by use of which viruses were categorized as being susceptible (score < or =0), as having intermediate resistance (1-3), and as being resistant (> or =4) to didanosine. In the validation set, the adjusted mean difference in 12-week virological response was +0.34 log(10) copies/mL (95% confidence interval, +0.11 to +0.57; P=.004) per higher resistance category. Correlation with virological response constantly outperformed that obtained with the previous interpretation. CONCLUSION The improved genotypic-resistance interpretation score can be applied to better guide the use of didanosine in treatment-experienced individuals.

The virological response of multiple protease inhibitor-experienced, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-naive, HIV-1-infected subjects was examined with respect to baseline viral phenotype and genotype through 72 weeks of therapy with lopinavir/ritonavir plus efavirenz and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (Study M98-957). Using a 'dropouts as censored' analysis, plasma HI...

Objective: To determine the potential impact of reverse transcriptase (RT) mutations, other than those currently known to confer nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) resistance, on the virological response to didanosine (ddI). Design and patients: In the placebo-controlled Jaguar trial, 168 patients were randomly assigned to receive ddI (n=111) or placebo (n=57) in addition to th...

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimens have recently been used in HIV-1 infected children in resource-limited settings. Treatment failure with this regimen has become more common. A second regimen needs to be prepared for the Thai national program. Genotypic resistance testing was conducted among HIV-1 infected children who experienced virological failure with ant...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether analysis of sequence variation in reverse transcriptase at baseline can explain differences in response to combination antiretroviral therapy. METHODS Amino acid sequences of reverse transcriptase obtained from baseline isolates from 55 patients included in a trial of zidovudine and didanosine versus zidovudine/didanosine/nevirapine (ACTG241) were analysed. Simp...

To determine the prevalence of drug resistance-conferring mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), 83 HIV-1 infected Thai patients who had been treated with any antiretroviral drug were studied. HIV-1 RNA was reverse transcribed and amplified by RT-PCR. The direct sequencing of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease was then performed. Changes in nucleotide and amino aci...
