Evaluation of tolerability with the co-formulation elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for post-HIV exposure prophylaxis.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The preferred regimen for HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is based mainly on safety and tolerability because it is given to immunocompetent people without HIV infection for a limited time (28 days). The frequency of adverse events (AEs) may be > 60%. Although AEs are generally not severe, they can lead to lack of adherence and failure to complete the regimen. We evaluated the co-formulation elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Stribild®) prescribed as one pill taken once daily for HIV PEP in terms of tolerability and adherence. METHODS:This was a prospective cohort study conducted in one hospital in Paris (April to December 2015. Each participant receiving the PEP treatment (FTC-150 mg/TDF-245 mg/elvitegravir-200 mg/cobicistat 150 mg once daily) at the pharmacy of the hospital were recruited consecutively. A clinical visit was planned at 8 weeks after sexual exposure. Reminders were sent to participants who missed the appointment. A standardized questionnaire was administered to evaluate completeness and tolerability at week 8. RESULTS:Overall, 284 participants (86% men; 80% MSM; median age 30 years) were prescribed Stribild®; 50 stopped after reassessment of risk. Among 234 participants who effectively received PEP, 215 (92%) completed 28 days of PEP with only three who switched from Stribild® to another PEP because of side effects. More than 60% of participants reported at least one AE, which were mild to moderate. Fatigue, central neurological and abdominal side effects were the most frequently reported. CONCLUSIONS:Stribild® seems to be a good option for HIV PEP due to the easiness of use, the side effects profile and the high completion rate.
