Prespecified Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures at 48 Weeks After Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation (n = 29a)

Outcome No. of Participants
Primary outcome
 Death 0
 New WHO stage 3 or 4 event 0
 Virologic failure: FDA Snapshot
  HIV-2 plasma viral load
   >50 copies/mL 1b
   >400 copies/mL 0
Secondary outcome
 Grade 3 or 4 adverse events
  Clinical 1
  Laboratory 7
 CD4 T-cell count less than baseline 0
 CD4 T-cell increase <50/μL from baseline 2
 Switching off E/C/F/TDF 0
 HIV-2 drug resistance mutations 1b
RT = K65R
IN = G140S, Q148R

Abbreviations: E/C/F/TDF, elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; FDA, US Food and Drug Administration; HIV-2, human immunodeficiency virus type 2; IN, integrase; RT, reverse transcriptase; WHO, World Health Organization.

aOne participant of the 30 enrolled was lost to follow-up/self-withdrew at week 4.

bAt virologic failure (week 36), the HIV-2 viral load was 236 copies/mL; data available for integrase only (no drug resistance mutation [DRM] detected); at 48 weeks the same study participant had a HIV-2 viral load = 214 copies/mL and DRM: K65R + G140S/Q148R.
