When to Start Antiretroviral Therapy Where is
the Pendulum Now?

Case 1
  • Asymptomatic 35 year old male patient, known to
    be HIV since 1999, with confirmed CD4 count of
    280 cells/?L and plasma viral load of 10,000
    copies/mL. Would you
  • Start treatment immediately
  • Start treatment only if the patient requested
  • Wait until the CD4 count drops below 200 cells/?L

Case 2
  • Asymptomatic 35 year old male patient, known to
    be HIV since 1999, with confirmed CD4 count of
    280 cells/?L and plasma viral load of 150,000
    copies/mL. Would you
  • Start treatment immediately
  • Start treatment only if the patient requested
  • Wait until the CD4 count drops below 200 cells/?L

Case 3
  • Asymptomatic 35 year old male patient, known to
    be HIV since 1999, with confirmed CD4 count of
    320 cells/?L and plasma viral load of 10,000
    copies/mL. Would you
  • Start treatment immediately
  • Start treatment only if the patient requested
  • Wait until the CD4 count drops below 200 cells/?L

5
Case 4
  • Asymptomatic 35 year old male patient, known to
    be HIV since 1999, with confirmed CD4 count of
    320 cells/?L and plasma viral load of 10,000
    copies/mL. Six months before his CD4 count was
    450 cells/?L and one year before 630 cells/?L.
    Would you
  • Start treatment immediately
  • Start treatment only if the patient requested
  • Wait until the CD4 count drops below 200 cells/?L

Therapy

Reasons for Deferral
  • Risk of progression to AIDS or death is
    relatively small in comparison with those at
    lower CD4 counts
  • Concerns about complications of ART
  • Potential future availability of more potent and
    tolerable drugs
  • Fear of waning adherence, resistance
    accumulation, and exhaustion of drug options

FIRST Study Risk of Non-Opportunistic Diseases
(non-OD)
  • 1397 pts starting 1 of 3 ART strategies
  • Incidence of non-ODs (non-AIDS-defining
    malignancies hepatic, CV and renal disease)
    declined with higher CD4 count
  • At CD4 gt200, non-OD events accounted for more
    morbidity and mortality than OD
  • Most recent CD4 count independently predicted
    risk of non-OD

Event rate by latest CD4
  • Rates decline at higher CD4 counts
  • Non-OD gt OD at CD4 gt200

Cost-Effectiveness of Early vs. Deferred HAART
  • Markov modeling approach to compare HAART started
    at CD4 count gt 350 CD4 vs 200-350
  • Johns Hopkins HIV clinic database
  • Starting HAART earlier rather than later is
    a cost-effective strategy (by the generally
    accepted benchmark in the US).

Should the Pendulum Swing Back?
  • The Case for Earlier Therapy
  • Easier, more potent, and less toxic therapy
  • Better response to therapy
  • Fear of exhaustion of drug options due to
    resistance has lessened
  • Cohort studies suggest benefit with earlier
    therapy
  • Prevention of specific complications of HIV
    infection
  • Prevention of non-opportunistic complications
  • Cost-effectiveness

17
Should the Pendulum Swing Back?
  • But
  • Absolute risk differences between groups starting
    ART between 200-349 versus gt 350 are small and
    may not reflect all of the benefits of ART or all
    of the risks (e.g., there is no control group
    with the same CD4 count who did not start ART)
  • Bias possible due to confounding by indication
    for initiation of early ART (i.e., what type of
    patient has been started at ART gt 350?)

18
Should the Pendulum Swing Back?
  • Is a controlled, randomized trial necessary to
    answer the when to start question?
  • Yes
  • Yes, but it would be almost impossible to recruit
  • Yes, but it would take too long
  • No, observational data would be enough to modify
    present recommendations
