Background : Abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine has been indicated in Korea since 2015 for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in combination. This regulatory post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study evaluated the real-life safety and effectiveness of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine in patients with HIV-1 in clinical practice in Korea.
Materials and Methods : This open-label post-marketing surveillance examined data from consecutive patients (aged ≥12 years) with HIV-1 infection receiving abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine according to locally approved prescribing information; treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients were permitted. Data regarding patient demographics, medical history, clinical characteristics, medications (HIV-1 related and concomitant), resource utilization and comorbidities were extracted from patient records over a 1-year treatment period. Outcomes included safety of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (primary endpoint) and real-life effectiveness according to physician’s global assessment and the proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA count <50 copies/mL at 48 weeks.
Results : Of 663 patients treated with abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine at 27 centers in Korea (June 2015 - June 2021), 656 were eligible for the safety analyses and 484 for effectiveness analyses. Patients were mostly male (94.8%) mean age was 42.2 ± 14.0 years and mean weight was 68.1 ± 11.0 kg. Adverse events (AEs, n = 656 in total) were mostly mild in severity, with the most common being nasopharyngitis (7.9%), retching (7.5%), headache (4.9%). Of 121 adverse drug reactions (ADRs), the most frequent were retching (4.4%), headache (1.8%) and dizziness (1.7%). Of 55 serious AEs, the most frequent were anogenital warts (1.1%). Of 2 serious ADRs, nothing was unexpected, and both resolved. The risk of experiencing an AE while receiving abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine appeared to be especially increased in patients receiving concomitant medications for other conditions. Abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine effectively suppressed HIV-1 (96.1% of patients had plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL), and 99.0% of patients showed symptom improvement based on physician assessment.
Conclusion : Results of this PMS study showed that abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine administered as highly active antiretroviral therapy was well tolerated and effective in patients with HIV-1 infection.
