• Two once-daily, dual nucleoside analogue, reverse transcriptase
inhibitor (NRTI), fixed-dose-combination (FDC) tablets available:
* tenofovir 300mg-emtricitabine 200mg (TDF-FTC)
* abacavir 600mg-lamivudine 300mg (ABC-3TC)
• Which FDC is more effective and safe is uncertain.
• We hypothesized that switching to TDF-FTC would be virologically
non-inferior to ABC-3TC over 96 weeks in HIV-infected adults with
sustained suppression of HIV replication, but that TDF-FTC and
ABC-3TC would have different safety profiles.

Methods
• Eligible participants randomly allocated 1:1 to continue their
current NNRTI and/or PI and switch their NRTIs to either TDF-FTC
or ABC-3TC.
• Key eligibility criteria:
* Age ≥ 18 years
* on stable 2NRTI + NNRTI or PI ART ≥ 12 weeks
* HIV RNA <50 copies/mL plasma ≥12 weeks
* glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 70mL/min/1.73m2
* creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
* HLA-B*5701 negative (unless already on ABC)
* no prior hypersensitivity, intolerance or failure to study drugs
* no prior exposure to either study FDC drugs
* not on un-boosted atazanavir
* no previous non-traumatic fracture
• Study visits at 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 weeks.
• At each visit adverse events, concomitant medications,
adherence, weight, biochemistry and HIV viral load were assessed;
every 12 weeks blood count, liver function tests and CD4 count
performed and blood stored; every 24 weeks quality of life (SF-8)
and fasting metabolic measures conducted; every 48 weeks body
composition measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
• Primary endpoint was virological failure, defined by repeat viral
load >400 copies/mL by intention-to-treat, missing=failure (ITTM=F)
analysis. Secondary endpoints (ITT) included death, AIDS, serious
non-AIDS events, metabolic parameters and body composition
(bone/soft-tissue; ITT-LOCF).
• Exact statistics were used for differences in proportions, T-tests to
compare means and Cox regression for hazard ratios. A sample of
175 participants per group yielded a 90% probability to detect a twotailed 95% confidence interval of 15% around a 0% difference
between treatment arms in virological failure rates.

Background:
Two once-daily, dual-nucleoside, fixed-dose-combination (FDC)
tablets are used for adult HIV-1 infection: tenofovir 300mg+emtricitabine 200mg
(TDF-FTC); and abacavir 600mg+lamivudine 300mg (ABC-3TC). Which FDC is
more effective and safe is uncertain.
Methods: We compared TDF-FTC and ABC-3TC-based therapy over 96 weeks
when either FDC was substituted for current NRTIs in HLA-B*5701-negative adults
with plasma HIV viral load <50 copies/mL. The primary endpoint was virological
failure, defined by repeat viral load >400 copies/mL plasma by intention-to-treat,
missing=failure (ITTM=F) analysis. Secondary endpoints (ITT) included death, AIDS,
serious non-AIDS events (see table), metabolic parameters and body composition
(bone/soft-tissue; ITT-LOCF). We used exact statistics for differences in proportions,
T-tests to compare means and Cox regression for hazard ratios for ABC-3TC/TDFFTC (HR 95%CI).
Results: 360 patients were randomized from January to August 2006. Key baseline
characteristics of the 357 treated participants were: male 98%, mean age 45.1 years,
prior NRTI therapy 5.8 years, current TDF 30%, current ABC 20%, current PI 24%,
mean CD4 count 612 cells/mm3, eGFR 98 mL/min/1.73m2, limb fat 5.5kg, and hip tscore -0.49. Groups were well balanced, except smoking was more prevalent with
ABC-3TC (40%) than with TDF-FTC (29%). 1.7% were lost to follow-up with no
between-group difference. No patient developed AIDS or renal failure. TDF-FTC was
associated with more bone loss. There was no significant between-group, week-96
difference for limb fat, eGFR, CD4 count, insulin sensitivity, total:HDL cholesterol
ratio, or lactate.
Conclusions: In this population, TDF-FTC and ABC-3TC had similar virological
efficacy and protection against AIDS. ABC-3TC was associated with more serious
non-AIDS events.
