Background: Ritonavir®-boosted PI treatments may influence differently on development of lipodystrophy. Indinavir (IDV) treatment theoretically could result in retinoid syndrome events (RSE).
Methods: Assessment of the prevalence and severity of lipodystrophy (LD) and RSE after 48 weeks of IDV/r 800/100 mg bid or saquinavir/r (SAQ/r) 1000/100 mg bid combined with >/=2NRTI(s)/NNRTI(s)). The LD Case Definition study questionnaires for patients and physicians were used at week 48, and the same type of questionnaires evaluated RSE. Analyses are ITT/exposed.
Results: At week 48 LD was found in 38/242 patients (16%; 16% (IDV/r) vs. 15% (SAQ/r), p=0.85). In multivariate analyses, female gender (OR: 0.23, CI 95% 0.10-0.53, p=0.001) and mean duration of HIV infection (OR: 1.1 per year higher, CI 95% 1.04- -1.22, p=0.004) were correlated with LD. There was no correlation with age, BMI, risk group, baseline viral load or CD4 count, trough concentration of study PIs and lipid levels at week 4 and 48. LD and fat accumulation severity scores were significantly higher in females (p<0.001 for both), with no difference in lipoatrophy severity score (p=0.79). RSE were found in 98/242 patients (41%; 61% (IDV/r) vs. 19% (SAQ/r), p<0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, treatment group was predictive of RSE at week 48 (OR: 7, CI 95% 4-12, p<0.0001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of lipodystrophy at week 48 was similar in the IDV/r and SAQ/r arms, and was higher in females and patients with longer duration of HIV infection. Retinoid syndrome events were significantly more frequent in the IDV/r arm compared to the
